Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A complete overhaul of the Western museum tradition' - Publishers Weekly In A Programme of Absolute Disorder, Francoise Verges strips away the veneer of the universal Western museum to reveal its origins as the foundation of liberal ideology. By exploring the history of the Louvre, and following the radical tradition of Frantz Fanon, she argues that the modern institution cannot just be fixed with a more diverse board or by finding new ways to display the art. Instead, she demands a 'post-museum': a space that rejects the financialization of art, acknowledges the bloody history of its collections, and prioritises the labour and dignity of those who clean, guard and inhabit its halls.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For decades, the right has monopolized the culture of preparedness, selling a fantasy of rugged individualism, hoarded rations, and fear. But before the rise of 24-hour grocery stores and just-in-time supply chains, prepping wasn't a political statement: it was just life. Drawing on his background in emergency services and security, Eric Shonkwiler reclaims prepping from the paranoia of the doomsday industry and reframes it as a vital tool for collective resilience. Red Prepper is a survival guide for the modern activist, bridging the gap between personal safety and community action, teaching you how to build a 'deep pantry,' filter water during infrastructure failures, and organize your neighbors for mutual aid. With the rise of fascism and the approach of economic and environmental collapse, Shonkwiler provides the grounded, practical skills you need to stop worrying and start building something better in the rubble.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Brilliant . Exposes how stigma and violence have been designed into the welfare state and demonstrates how we can abolish the current system and build life-affirming alternatives' Imogen Tyler, author of Stigma'An enraging and energising call to action. Abolition means building something different and better together, this work helps us to think how' Gargi Bhattacharyya, author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism'Hugely important' John Pring, author of The DepartmentNo More Deaths by Welfare exposes the lethal mechanics of Britain's social security system that has been weaponised against the very people it claims to support, and how people are beginning to imagine a new society, refusing the confines of a welfare system built on shame. China Mills traces the dark history of a government department rooted in state-sanctioned policing of who is (and is not) deemed deserving, showing how welfare is violent by design. But it is more than a chronicle of harm. Drawing on over a decade of activism led by disabled people and bereaved families, and from police abolitionists, the book delves into the power of collective imagination, healing shame, rebellious grief and cross-movement solidarity. From direct action on the streets to the quiet, powerful mutual aid practised from bed, the book is a call to action, not only to build solidarity and power against state violence, but also to imagine, practice and build welfare justice. China Mills is Head of Research at Healing Justice Ldn, where she created and leads the Deaths by Welfare Project, which builds on her involvement in disabled people's movements and anti-austerity activism. She was previously an academic, researching how government policies harm and kill disabled people, and how the state produces premature death, including by suicide. She has published widely and is the author of Decolonizing Global Mental Health. …
