Old Gods, New Enigmas

Mike Davis

Old Gods, New Enigmas

Old Gods, New Enigmas is the highly-anticipated book by the best-selling author of City of Quartz and Planet of Slums . Mike Davis spent years working factory jobs and sitting behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler before his profile as one of the world’s leading urbanists emerged with the publication of his sober, if dystopian survey of Los Angeles. Since then, he’s developed a reputation not only for his caustic analysis of ecological catastrophe and colonial history, but as a stylist...

Occupy!

The first book to explore the Occupy movement in depth, with reportage and analysis. In the fall of 2011, a small protest camp in downtown Manhattan exploded into a global uprising, sparked in part by the violent overreactions of the police. An unofficial record of this movement, Occupy! combines adrenalin-fueled first-hand accounts of the early days and weeks of Occupy Wall Street with contentious debates and thoughtful reflections, featuring the editors and writers of the celebrated n+1 ,...

None of Us Were Like This Before

The legacy of torture in the «War on Terror,» told through the story of one tank battalion None of Us Were Like This Before recounts the dark journey of a tank battalion as its focus switched from conventional warfare to guerrilla war and prisoner detention. Phillips’s narrative reveals how a group of ordinary soldiers, ill trained for the responsibilities foisted upon them, descended into a cycle of degradation that led to the abuse of detainees. The book illustrates that the...

Nochmal Deutschboden - Meine Rückkehr in die brandenburgische Provinz (ungekürzt)

Deutschland im Sommer 2019: Die AfD wird zur Volkspartei im Osten. Merkel hat Zitteranfälle.

Nun kehrt er zurück, er bleibt vier Monate und – wie schon in seinem damaligen Buch Deutschboden – lässt er die Geschichte und die Einwohner des Städtchens auf sich zukommen. Anders als vor zehn Jahren ist der Reporter in der Kleinstadt aber kein Fremder...

New Pandemics, Old Politics

Alex de Waal

New Pandemics, Old Politics

New Pandemics, Old Politics explores how the modern world adopted a martial script to deal with epidemic disease threats, and how this has failed – repeatedly. Europe first declared ‘war’ on cholera in the 19th century. It didn’t defeat the disease but it served purposes of state and empire. In 1918, influenza emerged from a real war and swept the world unchecked by either policy or medicine. Forty years ago, AIDS challenged the confidence of medical science. AIDS is still with us, but we have...

Never Speak to Strangers and Other Writing from Russia and the Soviet Union

David Satter arrived in the Soviet Union in June, 1976 as the correspondent of the Financial Times of London and entered a country that was a giant theater of the absurd. After 1982, he was banned from the Soviet Union but allowed back in 1990, and finally expelled in 2013 on the grounds that the secret police regarded his presence as “undesirable.” From 1976 to the present, he saw four different Russias, which differed from each other radically while remaining essentially the same. From 1976 to...

Neoconservative Politics and the Supreme Court

In this concise, timely book, constitutional law expert Stephen M. Feldman draws on neoconservative writings to explore the rise of the neocons and their influence on the Supreme Court. Neocons burst onto the political scene in the early 1980s via their assault on pluralist democracy’s ethical relativism, where no pre-existing or higher principles limit the agendas of interest groups. Instead, they advocated for a resurrection of republican democracy, which declares that virtuous...

Negotiating Identity and Transnationalism

At the heart of Communication and Critical Cultural Studies is a discipline that has been slowly expanding its borders around the issues of racism, sexism, ability, privilege, and oppression. As Latinx, African American, Asian Pacific American, Disability and LGBTQ Studies widen and shift the scope of Communication Studies, what often gets underplayed is the role of transnational Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) Studies. It is imperative that the experiences of transnational individuals...

NATO’s Enlargement and Russia

The Kremlin has sought to establish an exclusive Russian sphere of influence in the nations lying between Russia and the EU, from Georgia in 2008 to Ukraine in 2014 and Belarus in 2020. It has extended its control by means of military intervention, territorial annexation, economic pressure and covert activities. Moscow seeks to justify this behavior by referring to an alleged threat from NATO and the Alliance’s eastward enlargement. In the rhetoric of the Kremlin, NATO expansion is the main...

National Identity and State Formation in Africa

This book examines how the interplay between globalization and the assertion of local identities is reshaping the political landscape of Africa. While defending their values against external forces, people simultaneously – and paradoxically – use the interconnectivity of global networks to maximize their particular interests. Focusing on the relation between national identity and state formation, the authors explore the far-reaching consequences of these contradictory dynamics. <br...

My Name Is Jody Williams

As Eve Ensler says in her inspired foreword to this book, «Jody Williams is many things—a simple girl from Vermont, a sister of a disabled brother, a loving wife, an intense character full of fury and mischief, a great strategist, an excellent organizer, a brave and relentless advocate, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist.»<br /><br />From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman—and third American woman—to receive the...

Must tuul, valge lumi. Uue Vene natsionalismi tõus

„Must tuul, valge lumi” pakub värske ja põneva lähenemise natsionalismi esilekerkimisele viimaste aastakümnete Venemaal. Cloveri põhjalik analüüs traageldab kokku tõendid Kremli mõtteviisi südames tänapäeval peituvast eurasianismist ja uurib, kuidas on see mõjutanud hiljutisi sündmusi – Krimmi annekteerimist ning läänevastase paranoia ja imperialistliku retoorika esiletõusu Venemaal, aga ka Putini vahel nii jahmatavaid poliitilisi samme ja ambitsioone. Raamatu aluseks on uurimistöö, millega...

All who care about the well-being of working families will learn a great deal from their analysis.” —Harry Holzer, Professor of Public Policy, Georgetown University “Offers highly...

Mossad. Iisraeli salateenistuse tähtsaimad operatsioonid

Käesolevas raamatus tuuakse päevavalgele Mossadi kõige keerukamad operatsioonid ja kõige vapramad kangelased. Räägitakse ka nende eksimustest ja läbikukkumistest, mis on mitmel korral agentuuri mainet kahjustanud ja selle alustalasid kõigutanud. Salateenistuse tegevus on mitmel moel Iisraeli saatust ja maailma muutnud. Kõigele vaatamata kannustab Mossadi salaagente sügav ja idealistlik kodumaa-armastus, täielik pühendumine oma riigi säilimise eest võitlemisele ning valmisolek vastu astuda kõige...

Moral and Political Education

What are the proper aims of education in a liberal democracy? Given the deep disagreement about moral and religious values in modern societies, what is the proper balance between public and private claimants to educational authority? Should parents be given greater control over their children's formal education? Are today's public schools promoting a culture of rootless individualism? Do we increasingly resort to prisons and punishment instead of schooling and moral education to...
