Hoy estas expresiones juveniles con sus improntas de rebeldía,...

Fascinating Canada , his latest book, is the product of over half a century of research, reading, writing, and...

The Future of Difference theorises contemporary regimes of power as engaged primarily in the violent production of difference. In this moment, the logic of ‘other and rule’ thoroughly permeates the social and the political; our contemporary condition is increasingly premised on endless subtle hierarchical distinctions, which determine whole populations’ attitudes, feelings and actions. Hark and Villa make a compelling case for the detoxification of public and political discourse, in favor of an...

Imperial Germany’s governing elite frequently sought to censor literature that threatened established political, social, religious, and moral norms in the name of public peace, order, and security. It claimed and exercised a prerogative to intervene in literary life that was broader than that of its Western neighbors, but still not broad enough to prevent the literary community from challenging and subverting many of the social norms the state was most determined to defend. This study is the...

A guide to political struggle for a generation that is deeply ambivalent about power. While many activists gravitate toward mere self-expression and identity-affirming rituals at the expense of serious political intervention, Smucker provides an apologia for leadership, organization, and collective power, a moral argument for its cultivation, and a discussion of dilemmas that movements must navigate in order to succeed.

Henry George died fighting one of the most corrupt political organizations of the civilized world – a sufficient epitaph for any worthy man. But he has larger claims to respect and consideration. He made a creditable attempt to solve the root-problem of material life – poverty, – and his just-published posthumous book, « The Science of Political Economy,» excites that pathetic interest which attaches to the memory of one who tried to aid his fellowman. He was eloquent, but he was free from...

Cuba, la soledat que no s'acaba és el relat periodístic d'un viatge de més de tres mil quilòmetres per aquesta illa del Carib, immersa en una revolució que ja fa més de seixanta anys que s'allarga. ¿És una cruel dictadura, un estat socialista tropical o un paradís de vacances abandonat de la mà de Déu? Més enllà dels fullets turístics multicolors, el periodista danès Per Nyholm, amb una trajectòria impecable com a corresponsal de premsa en països en conflicte, analitza amb una...

Utilizando una metodología innovadora para generar iniciativas participativas, Pamina Firchow encuentra que las comunidades saturadas por intervenciones externas después de la guerra no ostentan niveles sustancialmente mayores de paz de...
