The Afghan solution

The Inside Story of Abdul Haq, the CIA and How Western Hubris Lost Afghanistan
lucy morgan edwards
Published in time for the tenth anniversary of the Afghan war, this explosive book exposes how the West lost its chance to rout the Taliban and stabilise Afghanistan. In late 2001, a group of Afghan tribal leaders met to plan how to topple the Taliban. Within weeks the plan was in tatters, thwarted by the West, and the groups leader, Abdul Haq, assassinated by the Taliban. Lucy Morgan Edwardss investigation into Haqs tragic mission led her to Taliban ministers, warlords, spies and two American Republican brothers who financed Haqs venture. Based on the authors own experience of the war in Afghanistan, this book reveals how a solution to the war was lost and why it matters today.
lUcy morgAN edWArds arrived in Afghanistan as an aid worker at the height of the Taliban regime. She was an election monitor at the 2002 emergency Loya Jirga (Grand Council) and then a freelance journalist, writing for the Economist and Daily Telegraph. From 2004 to 2005 she was Political Advisor to the EU Ambassador in Kabul. She is now based in Geneva.

New Series: Revolutionary Lives
leila Khaled
Icon of Palestinian Liberation
sarah irving Series: Revolutionary Lives
Dubbed the poster girl of Palestinian militancy, Leila Khaleds image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet in 1969. The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as era-defining as that of Che Guevara. In this intimate profile, based on interviews with Khaled and those who know her, Sarah Irving gives us the life-story behind the image. Key moments of Khaleds turbulent life are explored, including the dramatic events of the hijackings, her involvement in the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (a radical element within the PLO), her opposition to the Oslo peace process and her activism today. Leila Khaleds example gives unique insights into the Palestinian struggle through one remarkable life from the tension between armed and political struggle, to the decline of the secular left and the rise of Hamas, and the role of women in a largely male movement.
sArAh irViNg is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Electronic Intifada, Guardian Online and New Internationalist. She has held editorial roles at Red Pepper, Peace News and Ethical Consumer magazine. She is author of the Bradt Guide to Palestine (2011) and co-author (with Sharyn Lock) of Gaza: Beneath the Bombs (Pluto, 2010).

The Diggers Life and Legacy
John gurney Series: Revolutionary Lives
The power of property was brought into creation by the sword, so wrote Gerrard Winstanley (1609-1676) Christian Communist, leader of the Diggers movement and bte noire of the landed aristocracy. Despite being one of the great English radicals, Winstanley remains unmentioned in todays lists of great Britons. John Gurney reveals the hidden history of Winstanley and his movement. As part of the radical ferment which swept England at the time of the civil war, Winstanley led the Diggers in taking over land and running it as a common treasury for all provoking violent opposition from landowners. Gurney also guides us through Winstanleys writings, which are among the most remarkable prose writings of his age. Gerrard Winstanley: The Diggers Life and Legacy is a must read for students of English history and all those seeking to re-claim the commons today.
JohN gUrNey is a Visiting Fellow in the School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University and is author of Brave Community: The Digger Movement in the English Revolution (2007).

Jean Paul marat

Tribune of the French Revolution
clifford d. conner Series: Revolutionary Lives
Jean-Paul Marats role in the French Revolution has long been a matter of controversy among historians. Often he has been portrayed as a violent, sociopathic demagogue. This biography challenges that interpretation and argues that without Marats contributions as an agitator, tactician, and strategist, the pivotal social transformation that the Revolution accomplished might well not have occurred. Clifford D. Conner argues that what was unique about Marat - which set him apart from all other major figures of the Revolution, including Danton and Robespierre - was his total identification with the struggle of the propertyless classes for social equality. This is an essential book for anyone interested in the history of the revolutionary period and the personalities that led it.
clifford d. coNNer has written biographies of two eighteenth-century Irish revolutionaries, Colonel Despard (2000) and Arthur OConnor (2009). He is also the author of the acclaimed A Peoples History of Science (2005). He is on the editorial board of The International Encyclopedia of Revolution and Protest.

Fascinating stories from the workers behind Chinas phenomenal growth
The Accidental capitalist

A Peoples Story of the New China
behzad yaghmaian
In the last three decades China has experienced the largest population movement in human history. Millions have left behind homes to find work and new opportunities in the emerging mega-cities. Through months of sustained interpersonal contact with migrant workers and factory owners, Behzad Yaghmaian paints a unique portrait of a country experiencing the turmoil of rapid development. His close listening has produced an intimate look at the hopes, hardships, triumphs and tragedies of those behind the Chinese economic dragon. The Accidental Capitalist reveals the human reality behind Chinas rise to global-superpower status. Yaghmaian articulates the collective narrative of a people which will resonate with anyone living under capitalism and provide valuable material to students and scholars.

Chomsky on Western military intervention
A New generation draws the line

Humanitarian Intervention and the Standards of the West
Noam chomsky
How do we understand the ethics of humanitarian intervention in todays world? After Western intervention in Libyas civil war this new edition of A New Generation Draws the Line provides timely answers. In a new chapter on recent interventions Chomsky dissects the meaning of the right to protect principle. Other chapters examine the Wests uses and abuses of humanitarian intervention including detailed studies of East Timor and Kosovo. The actions of Muammar Gaddafi and the trial of Serbian military commander Ratko Mladic have re-energised narratives about the role of the civilised West. In this book, Chomsky deploys his forensic method - asking the difficult questions the West would prefer to avoid.

Why Obamas economy is stupid
obamas economy
Recovery for the Few
Jack rasmus
Three years after his election, Barack Obama presides over a deep economic malaise. Radical economist Jack Rasmus shows how the Obama administration has failed to deliver economic recovery and social justice and puts forward alternative proposals which could realise these goals. Whilst corporate profits are up, economic hardship is the bitter reality for millions of US citizens. Rasmus argues that the weakest economic recovery since 1947 is the direct result of the Obama administrations failure to take decisive action. From Obamas presidential election to the passage of his 2012 budget, this book explains how the US economy got where it is today and why the risk of a double dip recession is rising. In a crucial election year, Obamas Economy will be vital reading for students of US politics and economics, and all those looking for a way out of the current crisis of capitalism.

Everybody else talked of the Lehman crisis as a blip, but Rasmus got it right: his concept of epic recession describes what happened, in America and in the Western world. In this trenchant critique of Obamas stimulus measures, he asks searching questions about the scale of the actions taken and the suitablity of their design. With orthodox economics coming under strain, Rasmus unorthodox economics is a refreshing counter-argument to the mainstream.

The Life and Times of A. L. Lloyd
dave Arthur. foreword by lord Justice stephen sedley
Folk singer and folk music collector, writer, painter, journalist, art critic, whalerman, sheep station roustabout, Marxist, and much more this is the story of A. L. (Bert) Lloyds extraordinary life. A. L. Lloyd played a key part in the folk music revival of the 1950s and 60s, but that is only part of his story. Dave Arthur documents how Lloyd became a member of the Communist Party, forceful antifascist, trade unionist and an important part of left-wing culture from the early 1930s to his death in 1982. Following his return from Australia as a 21-year-old, self-educated agricultural labourer, he was at the heart of the most important left-wing movements and highly respected for his knowledge in various fields. Dave Arthur recounts the life of a creative, passionate and lifeloving Marxist, and in so doing provides a social history of a turbulent twentieth century.

Notes from the New Age of Dissent
laurie Penny. foreword by Warren ellis
In the space of a year, Laurie Penny has become one of the most prominent voices of the new left. This book brings together her diverse writings, showing what it is to be young, angry and progressive in the face of an increasingly violent and oppressive UK government. Penny Red: Notes from the New Age of Dissent collects Pennys writings on youth politics, resistance, feminism and culture. Her journalism is a unique blend of persuasive analysis, captivating interviews and first-hand accounts of political direct action. She was involved in all the key protests of 2010/2011, including the anti-fees demos in 2010 and the anti-cuts protests of spring 2011, often tweeting live from the scene of kettles and baton charges. An introduction and extensive footnotes allow Penny to connect all the strands of her work, showing the links between political activism and wider social and cultural issues. This book is essential for understanding what motivates the new generation of activists, writers and thinkers that bring creativity, energy and urgency to the fight against capitalism and exploitation.

Exposes the discrimination of the Israeli government
Palestinians in israel
Segregation, Discrimination and Democracy
ben White. foreword by haneen zoabi
Palestinians in Israel considers a key issue ignored by the official peace process and most mainstream commentators: that of the growing Palestinian minority within Israel itself. What the Israeli right-wing calls the demographic problem Ben White identifies as the democratic problem which goes to the heart of the conflict. Israel defines itself not as a state of its citizens, but as a Jewish state, despite the substantial and increasing Palestinian population. White demonstrates how the consistent emphasis on privileging one ethno-religious group over another cannot be seen as compatible with democratic values and that, unless addressed, will undermine any attempts to find a lasting peace. Individual case studies are used to complement this deeply informed study into the great, unspoken contradiction of Israeli democracy. It is a pioneering contribution which will spark debate amongst all those concerned with a resolution to the Israel/Palestine conflict.

The definitive introduction to the Middle Easts longest running conflict

Third ediTioN
The Palestine-israel conflict

A Basic Introduction
gregory harms with Todd m. ferry
The Palestine-Israel conflict is the most notorious and ingrained conflict of the twentieth, and now twenty-first, century. Yet the way it is reported in the media is often confusing, leading many to assume the hostilities stretch back to an ancient period. The Palestine-Israel Conflict is the first book to provide a clear, accessible, and annotated introduction that covers the full history of the region, from Biblical times until today. Perfect for the general reader, as well as students, it offers a comprehensive yet lucid rendering of the conflict, setting it in its proper historical context. Harms and Ferry show how todays violence is very much a product of recent history, with its roots in the twentieth century. This balanced account is now fully up to date, including the ongoing situation in Gaza, making it a valuable resource for anyone who wants a clear guide to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories, and its place in the history of Middle Eastern affairs.
gregory hArms is an independent scholar based in Chicago. He is the author of Straight Power Concepts in the Middle East: US Foreign Policy, Israel and World History (Pluto, 2010). Todd m. ferry began his studies in archaeology and Near East history at Indiana University. He received his MA in Syro-Palestinian archaeology from the University of Chicago in 2001, and has worked as a supervisor at the sites of Ashkelon and Tel Beth Shemesh in Israel.

The global sex Trade

Economics, Policy and the State
Karie A. gubbins Series: New Politics, Progressive Policy
Trafficking in women for commercial sex is the worlds fastest growing transnational criminal phenomenon. The Global Sex Trade looks at the reality behind this shocking fact, showing how this situation has come about and how it can be changed. In a distinctive and original analysis Karie A. Gubbins shows the connections between the legalised sex industry and the illegal world of sex trafficking. The sex industry creates the demand and, increasingly, trafficking is a form of supply. The result is a mutually beneficial relationship between legal and illegal economies that has allowed the global sex trade to expand and move freely across borders in recent decades. The Global Sex Trade illuminates the economic and political forces involved in womens exploitation and outlines routes to sexual equality. It is a pioneering contribution which will spark debate amongst feminists and students in gender studies and sociology.
KArie A. gUbbiNs is an Adjunct Professor in the Womens and Gender Studies Department at William Paterson University. She has written on feminism for Znet and is a former board member of the North Jersey Coalition Against Trafficking.

Africa is often seen as a place to be pitied or feared as an area of instability. This book challenges these complacent assumptions, showing how our demand for oil contributes to the chronic problems plaguing the continent. Douglas A. Yates shows how the scramble by the great powers for African oil has fed corruption and undermined democracy. Yates documents how Africans have refused to remain passive in the face of such developments, forming movements to challenge this new attempt at domination. This book is an urgent challenge to our understanding of Africa, raising questions about the consequences of our reliance on foreign resources. It will be vital reading for all those studying development and global political economy.

Shows how the West makes peace impossible
The economics of Killing

How the West Fuels War and Poverty in the Developing World
Vijay mehta
Globalisation has created an interconnected world, but has not diminished violence, militarism and inequality. The Economics of Killing describes how the power of global elites, entrenched under globalisation, has created a deadly cycle of violence. In this groundbreaking work, Vijay Mehta shows how attempts at peaceful national development are routinely blocked by Western powers. He locates the 2008 financial crisis in US attempts to block Chinas model of development. He shows how Europe and the US conspire with regional dictators to prevent countries from developing advanced industries, and how this system has fed terrorism. Mehta argues that a different world is possible, based on policies of disarmament, demilitarisation and sustainable development. This original and thought-provoking book will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the consequences of endless war fuelled by the West.

New ways to fight poverty
eradicating extreme Poverty

Democracy, Globalisation and Human Rights
edited by xavier godinot
The failure of attempts to tackle global poverty have bred cynicism and compassion fatigue. Eradicating Extreme Poverty provides an urgently needed fresh approach which will re-energise action on this issue. Rejecting traditional top-down approaches, Xavier Godinot and his colleagues start from the experiences, capabilities and strategies of the poor themselves. They argue that the first step is a close connection with poor communities followed by a commitment to take action alongside them. Life-stories from Burkina Faso, France, Peru and the Philippines are used to show that the poor must be involved in their own liberation. After decades of failed development policies, this book outlines a radical new approach which will enliven debate amongst policymakers, researchers, students and academics.
xAVier godiNoT works at the headquarters of the International Movement ATD Fourth World, where he was director of its Research Institute for twelve years. He coordinates anti-poverty projects in Southern and Northen countries, with families living in rubbish dumps, under bridges and in slums. He has edited several books about poverty in the North and the South.

Why the US really attacked Iraq
making the World safe for capitalism

How Iraq Threatened the US Economic Empire and had to be Destroyed
christopher doran
The Iraq war defined the first decade of the twenty-first century leading to mass protests and raising profound questions about domestic politics and the use of military force. Yet most explanations of the war have a narrow focus either on political personalities or oil. Christopher Doran provides a unique perspective, arguing that the drive to war came from the threat Iraq might pose to American economic hegemony if the UN sanctions regime was ended. Doran argues that this hegemony is rooted in third world debt and corporate market access. It was protection of these arrangements that motivated US action, not Iraqs alleged weapons of mass destruction or a simplistic desire to seize its oil. This book will provide new insights on the war which still casts a shadow over global politics, and will have wide appeal to all those concerned about the Middle East, world peace and global development.

Pakistan versus the world
Pakistan
The US, Geopolitics and Grand Strategies
edited by Usama butt and Julian schofield
The killing of Osama Bin Laden highlighted the tense relationship between the US and Pakistani governments. This book considers the evolving nature of this relationship and Pakistans place within the global order. Whereas standard accounts focus on the US-Pakistan relationship in isolation, Pakistan: The US, Geopolitics and Grand Strategies provides a broader geopolitical perspective. It analyses Pakistans relations with the US after a decade of the war on terror as well as Pakistans regional relations, which provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of Pakistans interests. Contributions from experts in both Pakistan and the West mean that this book will be vital reading for anyone seeking to understand this troubled nation.

Refounding the Nation
Kepa Artaraz
The election of the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS, movement towards socialism) to power in Bolivia in 2006 marked a historic break from centuries of foreign domination and indigenous marginalisation. Evo Morales, leader of the MAS, became the first indigenous president of Bolivia. Kepa Artaraz looks at the attempt to refound the nation which the new government has made as its goal. He shows how the mix of Marxism, indigenous liberation politics, anti-imperialism and environmentalism has made Bolivia one of the most interesting and unique political experiments of Latin Americas red decade. As the historic left-turn in Latin America reaches a crossroads, Bolivia: Refounding the Nation guides us through the politics and ideas which have animated this popular movement, drawing out important lessons for progressive politics everywhere.

Writings in exile
leon Trotsky, edited by Kunal chattopadhyay and Paul le blanc Series: Get Political
Leon Trotsky was a key political figure of the twentieth century a leader of the Russian Revolution, founder of the Red Army, author of books on literature, history, morality and politics. Leon Trotsky: Writings in Exile contains some of his most insightful and penetrating works. Exiled and isolated by Stalin, Trotsky used the only weapon he had left words. In these writings he defends the 1917 revolution, warns prophetically of fascism and analyses anticolonial movements in the global south. This collection gives a sense of the real Trotsky passionate, humanist, Marxist. It will introduce the writings of one of historys great revolutionaries to a new generation.
leoN TroTsKy was one of the most prominent leaders of the Russian
Revolution in 1917. He was one of the primary contenders for the leadership of the Bolshevik Party in 1922 after the death of Lenin. When Stalin took this post, Trotsky swiftly concluded that the Revolution had been undermined. He was expelled from the Communist Party in 1927 and subsequently went into exile in Mexico, where he was assassinated by Soviet agents in 1940.
KUNAl chATToPAdhyAy is Professor at the Department of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University. He is the author of The Marxism of Leon Trotsky (2006). PAUl le blANc is Professor of History at La Roche College, Pittsburgh. He is the author of Marx, Lenin and the Revolutionary Experience (2006), A Short History of the US Working Class (1999) and editor of Revolution, Democracy, Socialism: Selected Writings of VI Lenin (Pluto, 2008) and Rosa Luxemburg: Socialism or Barbarism (Pluto, 2010).
Leon Trotskys ideas inspired Minnesota teamsters and Bolivian miners, Filipino peasants from Mindanao and rebel students in the Latin Quarter, New York intellectuals and French Surrealist poets. Thanks to the initiative of Kunal Chattopadhyay and Paul Le Blanc, some of the most important writings from this period are now available in one volume; considered with an open and critical mind, they will certainly provide precious tools for a Socialism of the 21st Century.

Exposing a system where workers lose, even when they win
struck out
Why Employment Tribunals Fail Workers and What Can be Done
david renton
Every year, over a hundred thousand workers bring claims to an Employment Tribunal. The settling of disputes between employers and unions has been exchanged by many for individual litigation. In Struck Out, barrister David Renton gives a practical and critical guide to the system. In doing so he punctures a number of media myths about the Tribunals. Far from bringing flimsy cases, two-thirds of claimants succeed at the hearing. And rather than paying lotterysize jackpots, average awards are just a few thousand pounds scant consolation for a loss of employment and often serious psychological suffering. The book includes a critique of the present governments proposals to reform the Tribunal system. Employment Tribunals are often seen by workers as the last line of defence against unfairness in the workplace. Struck Out shows why we cant rely on the current system to deliver fairness and why big changes are needed.
dAVid reNToN is a barrister at Garden Court chambers in London and appears regularly for claimants at Employment Tribunals. Before being called to the Bar, Renton was a lecturer, senior researcher, and visiting professor in the UK and South Africa. He writes on employment law for the Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers and is the author of Fascism (Pluto, 1999).
David Rentons new book is very approachable and readable. It opens up employment law to students and employees alike.

Corporate Spying on Activists
eveline lubbers
The exposure of undercover policeman Mark Kennedy in the ecoactivist movement revealed how the state monitors and undermines political activism. This book shows the other grave threat to our political freedoms - undercover activities by corporations. Secret Manoeuvres in the Dark documents how corporations are halting legitimate action and investigation by activists. Using exclusive access to previously confidential sources, Eveline Lubbers shows how companies such as Nestl, Shell and McDonalds use covert methods to evade accountability. She argues that corporate intelligence gathering has shifted from being reactive to pro-active, with important implications for democracy itself. Secret Manoeuvres in the Dark will be vital reading for activists, investigative and citizen journalists, and all who care about freedom and democracy in the 21st century.

Beware the falling rate of profit
The failure of capitalist Production

Underlying Causes of the Great Recession
Andrew Kliman
The recent financial crisis and Great Recession have been analysed endlessly in the mainstream and academia, but this is the first book to conclude, on the basis of in-depth analyses of official US data, that Marxs crisis theory can explain these events. Marx believed that the rate of profit has a tendency to fall, leading to economic crises and recessions. Many economists, Marxists among them, have dismissed this theory out of hand, but Andrew Klimans careful data analysis shows that the rate of profit did indeed decline after the post-World War II boom and that free-market policies failed to reverse the decline. The fall in profitability led to sluggish investment and economic growth, mounting debt problems, desperate attempts of governments to fight these problems by piling up even more debt and ultimately to the Great Recession. Klimans conclusion is simple but shocking: short of socialist transformation, the only way to escape the new normal of a stagnant, crisis-prone economy is to restore profitability through full-scale destruction of existing wealth, something not seen since the Depression of the 1930s.

Is the US empire in decline?
The fall of the Us empire

Global Fault-Lines and the Shifting Imperial Order
Vassilis K. fouskas and blent gkay
Whither the US empire? Despite Washingtons military supremacy, its economic foundations have been weakening since the Vietnam war accelerated by the great recession and credit-rating downgrade and its global authority dented by the quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan. In this accessible, punchy text, Vassilis K. Fouskas and Blent Gkay intervene in the debates that surround the USs status as an Empire. They survey the arguments amongst Marxist and critical scholars, from Immanuel Wallerstein and others who argue that the US is in decline, to those who maintain that it remains a robust superpower. By explaining how Americas neo-imperial system of governance has been working since WWII, Fouskas and Gkay link the USs domestic and foreign vulnerabilities. The Fall of the US Empire argues that the time has come to understand the US empire not by its power but by its systemic vulnerabilities of financialisation, resource depletion and environmental degradation. Its informed and accessible style will have wide appeal to students looking for an introduction to these issues.

When governments shoot to kill
state Violence, collusion and the Troubles

Counter Insurgency, Government Deviance and Northern Ireland
maurice Punch
The period in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles (1968-98) seemed to have been conclusively ended by the official peace process. But recent violence from dissident Republicans shows that tensions from the past remain unresolved. State Violence, Collusion and the Troubles reveals disturbing unanswered questions about the use of state violence during this period. Maurice Punch documents in chilling detail how the British government turned to desperate, illegal measures in a time of crisis, disregarding domestic and international law. He broadens out his analysis to consider other cases of state violence against insurgent groups in Spain and South Africa. This is the story of how the British state collaborated with violent groups and directly participated in illegal violence. It also raises urgent questions about why states around the world continue to deploy such violence rather than seeking durable political settlements.
mAUrice PUNch is Visiting Professor at the Mannheim Centre for Criminology, LSE, and Visiting Professor at the Law School, Kings College London. He is the author of Shoot to Kill: Exploring Police Use of Firearms (2010) and Police Corruption: Deviance, Accountability and Reform in Policing (2009).
State Violence, Collusion and the Troubles brings to bear a mature, discerning and knowledgeable mind on a vexed area and the results are disquieting, fascinating and provocative.

The Western legacy in Sierra Leone
When the state fails

Studies on Intervention in the Sierra Leone Civil War
edited by Tunde zack-Williams
Compared with Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, the recent western intervention in Sierra Leone has been largely forgotten. When the State Fails rectifies this, providing a comprehensive and critical analysis of the intervention. The civil war in Sierra Leone began in 1991 and was declared officially over in 2002 after UK, UN and regional African military intervention. Some claimed it as a case of successful humanitarian intervention. The authors in this collection provide an informed analysis of the impact of the intervention on democracy, development and society in Sierra Leone. The authors take a particularly critical view of the imposition of neoliberalism after the conflict. As NATO intervention in Libya shows the continued use of external force in internal conflicts, When the State Fails is a timely book for all students and scholars interested in Africa and the question of humanitarian intervention.

The Global Compact is one of the many ways the transnational corporations try to show a smiley face to the world. An irresponsible UN helps them get away with it, and the good showcase project here or there doesnt change that reality. The scholars in this book explain as nowhere else why the Global Compact should be abolished forthwith.

The New Arab revolutions That shook the World

farhad Khosrokhavar
From Libya in the east to the Gulf peninsula in the west, the Arab Spring has shaken entrenched regimes. Decades-old dictatorships have fallen after mass protests. Whilst the final outcome is unclear, the historical importance of these events is beyond doubt. Farhad Khosrokavar contextualizes the demands of the protesters. He looks beyond the Arab world to show how the movements are leaving a deep imprint on countries like Iran and how a new conception of democracy is emerging in the region, challenging traditional ideas. Looking to the future, Khosrokavar discusses how the new movements may change the world.

The gatekeeper
60 Years of Economics According to the New York Times
robert chernomas and ian hudson
The New York Times is possibly the most influential newspaper in the world. Because of this, it has become the topic of much debate about media bias, with some claiming that it is liberal and others that it is conservative. The Gatekeeper argues that this debate is misleading and that the paper can more accurately be characterised as supporting the interests of US corporations, which involves both liberal and conservative positions. Through examining the papers coverage of key issues, including the 2008-2009 economic crisis, The Gatekeeper reframes the debate about the most venerable institution in US journalism.

Theory from the south

Or, How Euro-America is Evolving Toward Africa
Jean comaroff and John l. comaroff Series: The Radical Imagination
As nation-states in the Northern Hemisphere experience economic crisis, political corruption and racial tension, it seems as though they might be evolving into the kind of societies normally associated with the Global South. Anthropologists Jean and John Comaroff draw on their long experience of living in Africa to address a range of familiar themes democracy, national borders, labour and capital and multiculturalism. They consider how we might understand these issues by using theory developed in the Global South. Challenging our ideas about developed and developing nations, Theory from the South provides new insights into key problems of our time.

speaking Up for Animals

An Anthology of Womens Voices
edited by lisa Kemmerer. foreword by carol J. Adams
Speaking Up for Animals highlights eighteen courageous members of a growing international animal advocacy movement that is overwhelmingly powered by women. These remarkable activists take us with them as they lift factory farmed chickens and cows from quagmires of filth, free gigantic sea lions caught in fishing gear and secure undercover footage of dogs crying for mercy on stainless steel vivisection tables. In the process, these dedicated women expose the many ways that most of us are complicit in the suffering and exploitation of animals, and creatively suggest a variety of ways in which we might help bring change.

save the humans?

Common Preservation in Action
Jeremy brecher
Save the Humans? argues that individual self-interest depends on common preservation cooperation to provide for mutual well-being. As world leaders fail to cooperate to address climate change, nuclear proliferation, economic meltdown and other threats to our survival, increasing numbers of people experience a pervasive sense of denial and despair. But Jeremy Brecher has seen common preservation in action, and in Save the Humans? he shows how it works. From Gandhis civil disobedience campaigns in India, to the 2011 uprisings throughout the Middle East, Brecher shows what we can learn from past social movements to help us confront todays global threats.
Jeremy brecher is the author of 10 books on labour and social movements, including Global Visions and Global Village or Global Pillage.

saving society
Breaking Out of Our Bureaucratic Way of Life
bernard Phillips and david christner Series: The Sociological Imagination
Why do many problems throughout the world seem to be getting worse? Saving Society argues that a dramatic change in our mode of thinking is required. The authors show how many of our fundamental assumptions lead to an overly bureaucratic approach, blocking solutions to many of our problems. They contrast our present emotional repression and conforming behaviour with a more liberated form of perception, thought and emotional expression, which could allow us to break out of these bureaucratic routines. Saving Society shows how this alternative approach might lay the basis for more effective and democratic institutions.

Responsibility-Taking in the Political World
edited by michele micheletti and Andrew s. mcfarland
Creative Participation presents the theory and practice of new innovative forms of political participation. Examples covered in the book include consumers engaging in political shopping, capitalists building green developments, UK Muslim youth campaigning on the internet, Sicilian housewives taking on the Mafia, young evangelical ministers becoming concerned with social change and vegetarians making political statements. The authors show how in these new campaigns individuals swarm like honeybees around particular issues, causing those in power to sit up and take notice. This is the essential guide to the new politics of participation.

The structural lie

Small Clues to Global Things
charles lemert Series: Great Barrington Books
The Structural Lie tackles one of social sciences most mysterious problems. How is it possible to derive statements about the grand structures of social life from their effects in the small movements of everyday life? Prominent sociologist Charles Lemert shows how Marx and Freud provide some answers to this question. Marx derived from the commodity his picture of the capitalist system, Freud diagnosed the character of psyches from the details of dreams, slips and jokes. This wonderfully readable and engaging book lays the foundation for a new social science in an age where a microchip can convey a world of information.

Paulo freire in the 21st century

Education, Dialogue, and Transformation
Peter roberts Series: Interventions: Education, Philosophy, and Culture
This book explores the implications of world renowned educationalist Paulo Freires theories for educational practice and how his ideas can help in bridging different genres and traditions. It addresses themes, questions and issues that have received little attention to date, including Freires conception of the critical intellectual, the problem of defining literacy, and the possibility of a Freirean response to debates over political correctness. Roberts also relates Freires ideas to those of other writers: Israel Scheffler, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Hermann Hesse, among others. Paulo Freire in the 21st Century makes a distinctive contribution to the international literature on Freires work.
