The Federalist Papers (with Introductions by Edward Gaylord Bourne and Goldwin Smith)

Following the signing of the Declaration of Independence there was a vigorous debate in the American colonies on the form of government that should be then established. A Constitutional Convention was convened between May 25th and September 17th, 1787. A principal point in the debate at the convention was as to how much power should be granted to the federal government versus the states. In response to what would come out of this convention a number of “anti-federalist” essays began to...

A Question of Order

Basharat Peer

A Question of Order

What happens when a democratically elected leader evolves into an authoritarian ruler, limiting press freedom, civil liberties, and religious and ethnic tolerance? India and Turkey are two of the world's biggest democracies –multi-ethnic nations that rose from their imperial past to be founded on the values of modernity. They have fair elections, open markets, and freedom of religion. Yet this is an account of how the charismatic strongmen Narendra Modi, in India, and Recep Tyyip Erdogan,...

Trotsky

Leon Trotsky was the most important contributor to the development of revolutionary Marxism this century, after Lenin. As exiled militant or Soviet statesman, party organizer or public orator, as political analyst, soldier or commentator on cultural trends, he was centrally involved in the world-historic upheavals of his time and foremost among the interpreters of their significance for socialism. Yet the fate of his achievement was dramatically discrepant from Lenin's. At the latter's...

Set the Night on Fire

Mike Davis

Set the Night on Fire

Histories of the US sixties invariably focus on New York City, but Los Angeles was an epicenter of that decade’s political and social earthquake. L.A. was a launchpad for Black Power—where Malcolm X and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising shook the nation—and home to the Chicano walkouts and Moratorium, as well as birthplace of ‘Asian America’ as a political identity, base of the antiwar movement, and of course, centre of California counterculture. Mike Davis and Jon...

Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes

Until they were expelled from power thirty years ago, in early 1986, the late dictator Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos (she, the Shoe Queen) jointly ruled the Philippines with impunity for 20+ years. They were an efficient cash-and-carry team—while he raided the national till, she shopped 'til she dropped. In the words of the US congressman investigating them, "Compared to her (Imelda), Marie Antoinette was a bag lady," . . . while Ferdinand made master embezzler...

Canadian Politics Unplugged

Eric Nicol

Canadian Politics Unplugged

Canadian politics is/are not well understood, no authority being prepared to say whether it/they is/are singular or plural. Canadian Politics Unplugged bravely breaks new ground in ignoring this question. The book concentrates on the central problem of democracy in a country that is too big to digest without getting gas. Readers are assured that the authors have studied Canadian politics for years, from a safe distance, and enjoy the unique perspective of never having been elected to high...

Sam is Dead

No one grieves the death of Samuel Rutherford, a man with a harsh personality and an even more chilling backstory. After all, who would mourn the passing of a murderer? No one, that is, except for Eric Grant. Eric, a young man with abusive parents and a haunting past, reflects back on how he and Sam met and how his actions led to his mentor’s untimely death.

Can Academics Change the World?

Moshe Shokeid

Can Academics Change the World?

Moshe Shokeid narrates his experiences as a member of AD KAN (NO MORE), a protest movement of Israeli academics at Tel Aviv University, who fought against the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, founded during the first Palestinian Intifada (1987-1993). However, since the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin and the later obliteration of the Oslo accord, public manifestations of dissent on Israeli campuses have been remarkably mute. This chronicle of AD KAN is explored in view of the...

Imperfect Cosmopolis

In current debates, the term cosmopolitanismA” often remains quite vague and leads to sweeping generalizations. Unlike many recent publications, this book looks at the notion from a decidedly historical perspective, trying to give depth and texture to the concept.

Золотая жатва. О том, что происходило вокруг истребления евреев

Импульсом к созданию данной книги послужила фотография, сделанная после войны на территории лагеря смерти Треблинка, где местные жители занимались поисками драгоценностей, якобы оставшихся после уничтоженных в газовых камерах евреев. Именно на периферии Холокоста заметны гиены в человеческом облике. «Золотая жатва» – не только описание этого кошмара, но и попытка понять его причины. Она ставит серьезные моральные и исторические проблемы. Книга рассчитана на широкий круг читателей.

On Liberty and Other Essays (with an Introduction by A. D. Lindsay)

“On Liberty and Other Essays” brings together the most important works of philosopher and political economist John Stuart Mill. In “On Liberty” Mill eloquently ponders the question of where the line should be drawn between the freedom of individuals and the authority of the state. As he puts it, “The struggle between liberty and authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar…” Second in this volume, “Utilitarianism” is the classic...

Protest Inc.

Peter Dauvergne

Protest Inc.

Mass protests have raged since the global financial crisis of 2008. Across the world students and workers and environmentalists are taking to the streets. Discontent is seething even in the wealthiest countries, as the world saw with Occupy Wall Street in 2011. Protest Inc. tells a disturbingly different story of global activism. As millions of grassroots activists rally against capitalism, activism more broadly is increasingly mirroring business management and echoing calls for market-based...

Я очень тебя хочу. Переписка 1995–1996 годов

Кэти Акер и Маккензи Уорк встретились в 1995 году во время тура Акер по Австралии. Между ними завязался мимолетный роман, а затем – двухнедельная возбужденная переписка. В их имейлах – отблески прозрений, слухов, секса и размышлений о культуре. Они пишут в исступлении, несколько раз в день. Их письма встречаются где-то на линии перемены даты, сами становясь объектом анализа. Итог этих писем – каталог того, как два неординарных писателя соблазняют друг друга сквозь 7500 миль авиапространства,...

The Nature of Conspiracy Theories

Michael Butter

The Nature of Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theories seem to be proliferating today. Long relegated to a niche existence, conspiracy theories are now pervasive, and older conspiracy theories have been joined by a constant stream of new ones – that the USA carried out the 9/11 attacks itself, that the Ukrainian crisis was orchestrated by NATO, that we are being secretly controlled by a New World Order that keep us docile via chemtrails and vaccinations. Not to mention the moon landing that never happened. <br /><br...

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...

Почему у женщин при социализме секс лучше. Аргументы в пользу экономической независимости

Профессор Пенсильванского университета, автор семи книг Кристен Годси объясняет, почему триумф капитализма в странах первого и второго мира не стал выходом для большинства женщин.

На множестве примеров Кристен Годси показывает, как, дискриминируя женщин, капитализм во всем обделяет их – от...

Džungel kasvab tagasi. Meie ohtlikuks muutunud maailm ja Ameerika

Mis võib juhtuda, kui USA loobub üleilmse rahu ja korra tagamisest ning keskendub oma siseasjadele? Robert Kagani sõnul tuleb tunnistada, et läbi inimajaloo on eksisteerinud tung kaose poole. Maailmas leidub küllalt neid, kel on soovi ja võimalust olukorda hullemaks muuta – nad võtavad siis taas võimust. Nagu džungel, mis kasvab alati tagasi. Tema raamat on jõuline ja kujukas kirjeldus, milliseks maailm siis muutuda võib. „See on kahtlemata viimaste aastate olulisim raamat Euroopa julgeolekust....

Power in Action

Argues that South Africans, like everyone else, need democracy for a more equal society What are democracies meant to do? And how does one know when one is a democratic state? These incisive questions and more by leading political scientist, Steven Friedman, underlie this robust enquiry into what democracy means for South Africa post 1994. Democracy is often viewed through a lens reflecting Western understanding. New democracies are compared to idealized notions by which the system is said to...
