Winner of the Oakland Blue Collar PEN AwardA work of history, a manifesto, and an intergenerational story of resistance that shows how two centuries of Indigenous struggle created the movement proclaiming Water is LifeIn 2016, a small protest encampment at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota, initially established to block construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, grew to be the largest Indigenous protest movement in the twenty-first century, attracting tens of thousands of Indigenous and non-Native allies from around the world. Its slogan Mni WiconiWater is Lifewas about more than just a pipeline. Water Protectors knew this battle for Native sovereignty had already been fought many times before, and that, even after the encampment was gone, their anti-colonial struggle would continue.In Our History is the Future, Nick Estes traces traditions of Indigenous resistance leading to the #NoDAPL movement from the days of the Missouri River trading forts through the Indian Wars, the Pick-Sloan dams, the American Indian Movement, and the campaign for Indigenous rights at the United Nations. While a historian by trade, Estes also draws on observations from the encampments and from growing up as a citizen of the Oceti Sakowin (the Nation of the Seven Council Fires), making Our History is the Future at once a work of history, a personal story, and a manifesto.

The philosophical and political development that converted Georg Lukács from a distinguished representative of Central European aesthetic vitalism into a major Marxist theorist and Communist militant has long remained an enigma. In this this now classic study, Michael Löwy for the first time traced and explained the extraordinary mutation that occurred in Lukács's thought between 1909 and 1929. Utilizing many as yet unpublished sources, Löwy meticulously reconstructed the complex itinerary of Lukács's thinking as he gradually moved towards his decisive encounter with Bolshevism. The religious convictions of the early Lukács, the peculiar spell exercised on him and on Max Weber by Dostoyevskyan images of pre-revolutionary Russia, the nature of his friendships with Ernst Bloch and Thomas Mann, were amongst the discoveries of the book. Then, in a fascinating case-study in the sociology of ideas, Löwy showed how the same philosophical problematic of Lebensphilosophie dominated the intelligentsias of both Germany and Hungary in the pre-war period, yet how the different configurations of social forces in each country bent its political destiny into opposite directions. The famous works produced by Lukács during and after the Hungarian Commune-Tactics and Ethics, History and Class Consciousness and Lenin-were analysed and assessed. A concluding chapter discussed Lukács's eventual ambiguous settlement with Stalinism in the thirties, and its coda of renewed radicalism in the final years of his life. In this new edition, Löwy has added a substantial new introduction which reassess the nature of Lukács's thought in the light of newly published texts and debates.

Pegg's narrative of the massacres of the crusades - a fervour of 'cleansing' the world of heresy, and a fear that Christendom was being eaten away by heretics - is gripping. Innocent III's holy genocidal war fundamentally changed how Western civilization dealt with individuals accused of corrupting society, and led to the creation of the inquisition.

When the state recedes, the commune-form flourishes. This was as true in Paris in 1871 as it is now whenever ordinary people begin to manage their daily lives collectively. Contemporary struggles over land - from the zad at Notre-Dame-des-Landes to Cop City in Atlanta, from the pipeline battles in Canada to Soulèvements de la terre - have reinvented practices of appropriating lived space and time. This transforms dramatically our perception of the recent past. Rural struggles of the 1960s and 70s, like the "Nantes Commune," the Larzac, and Sanrizuka in Japan, appear now as the defining battles of our era. In the defense of threatened territories against all manners of privatization, hoarding, and infrastructures of disaster, new ways of producing and inhabiting are devised that side-step the state and that give rise to unprecedented kinds of solidarity built on pleasurable, fruitful collaborations. These are the crucial elements in the present-day reworking of an archaic form: the commune-form that Marx once called "the political form of social emancipation," and that Kropotkin deemed "the necessary setting for revolution and the means of bringing it about."

"Hazel Carby is a foundational scholar of race, class, and empire as critical lenses for understanding culture." Elizabeth Alexander, author of The Light of the World Twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of a transatlantic Black feminist classic Bringing together multi-award-winning author Hazel Carbys most important and influential essays, Cultures in Babylon addresses the political dilemmas of representing Black women as sexual subjects, considers how far female sexuality is exploited by consumerism, and traces the contradictions Black women in the culture industry navigate. Carbys writing is invariably sharp and provocative, her political insights shrewd and often against the grain. A powerful intervention, Cultures in Babylon quickly became a standard reference point in debates over race, ethnicity, and gender. Autorid: Hazel V Carby
Born in Poona, India, Farrukh Dhondy came to England in 1964 and immersed himself in radical politics and the counterculture. He kicked off a career in journalism interviewing Pink Floyd and Allen Ginsberg and covering the first meeting between the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Dhondy was soon drawn into political activism. He joined the Indian Workers Association and the British Black Panther Movement. Within the radical activist collective Race Today, he worked alongside Darcus Howe and C. L. R. James. An award-winning writer, he co-wrote the ground-breaking sit-com Tandoori Nights. In 1984 he became Channel 4's Commissioning Editor for multicultural programming and was a driving force behind Desmond's, Salaam Bombay!, and the trailblazing Bandung File. In Fragments against My Ruin, Dhondy explores a life to salvage precious moments against the inevitable decay of age. The result is a fascinating social and historical document of the late twentieth century, addressing politics, culture, friendship, and the determination to break down boundaries. It is an autobiography packed with compelling anecdotes, such as an insightful take on Jeffrey Archer's conviction, as well as portraits of Richard Attenborough, Arundhati Roy, V. S. Naipaul, Charles Sobhraj, and many others. Autorid: Farrukh Dhondy
The most successful political party in history? The Tory Party has been in power for eighty-five of the past 135 years. In 2019 they won their largest parliamentary majority in more than three decades. They have had a long way to fall since, and they've done it at incredible speed. As Geoffrey Wheatcroft shows, we have witnessed not simply the collapse of the party but the shattering of its very foundations. Bloody Panico! opens the sorry tale with the Tories' return to power in 2010, with 'Call Me Dave' Cameron at the helm. The turmoil of the referendum followed, as Boris championed a Leave campaign he didn't believe in for supporters with no clear idea what they were demanding. Beyond the pantomime of Boris, Truss's kamikazee premiership, and the squirming managerial tedium of Sunak, the party is riven by resentment and confusion. It is a maelstrom of petty and shameless in-fighting. The Tories' ancient instinct for survival has deserted them, along with any shred of concern for public well-being. The next general election could see them cast into the wilderness for decades. Leading political commentator Geoffrey Wheatcroft argues that this is an existential crisis for the party, a tipping point in British political history. Autorid: Geoffrey Wheatcroft

But inevitably he is impelled to return to Pakistan.From Pakistan, Saleem is drawn across the border into the killing fields of Afghanistan. Among Russian soldiers and the holy warriors of the Mujahadeen, he meets Gulzarina, the woman whose life and experiences promise to make sense of Saleems own tortuous history. Autorid: Tariq Mehmood

Experimental Criticism offers a series of close critical engagements with one of the world's most innovative literary thinkers. Franco Moretti, author of such major works as Signs Taken for Wonders, The Way of the World, Modern Epic, Atlas of the European Novel and The Bourgeois, may be best known for his 'distant reading' of vast numbers of literary texts at the Stanford Literary Lab. Francesco de Cristofaro and Stefano Ercolino lead a lively exploration of his work as a springboard for rethinking the fundamentals of literary studies. Topics include literary theory and method, problems of scale and canonisation, the evolution of literary forms, abstract modelling and the digital humanities, comparative versus world literature, Marxism and literary history, and tragedy and the novel. There are essays from Moretti himself on Lukács and the tensions between close and distant reading, plus a 'provisional epilogue' in which he reflects on his intellectual itinerary and the challenges posed by contributors to this volume. 'Why study literature?' he asks. For the pleasure of reducing complex things to their simple elements; to bring them back to earth. This key retrospective amounts to a critical manifesto for an experimental literary materialism, one unafraid to test radical new hypotheses.

After a decades-long absence, class is once again central to our understanding of ailing Britain. But what does it mean to be working class today? As Jonas Patrick Marvin shows, questions of class have often been replaced by talk of race and geography. Meanwhile, a collective identity capable of pushing for change has become increasingly weakened and sidelined. Retelling the story of the working class over the last forty years - from Thatcher's war against the unions to New Labour neoliberalism - Marvin shows how power and capital have combined to shatter a radical identity into many parts: white, male, northerner, homeowner, immigrant, unemployed, disabled. These fragments are then set in conflict against each other. Blending political analysis with an account of his own experiences of class in London and the rustbelt Midlands, Marvin shows how the working class have been demonised and managed into impotence. The working class is more than just an identity. As Marvin argues, it embodies a collective will to demand change, one that can - and must - be rekindled. Autorid: Jonas Patrick Marvin
Maalilisel Järvamaal leidub uhkeid härrastemaju ja põliseid parke, suurejoonelisi losse, nagu Väinjärve või Kolu, tõelisi aadlipaleesid, nagu Roosna-Alliku, Purdi või Aruküla, kunagist hiilgust meenutavaid varemeid, nagu Mäo, ning salapäraseid või isegi süngeid ja ebamaiseid mõisarahulaid ja kirikaedu. Paljudes Järvamaa mõisaansamblites on praeguseks suudetud kunagine ilu taastada, ent omaaegse toreduse jälgi aimub ka hüljatud varemetest, maalingufragmentidest seintel või vanadest pargipuudest ja puiesteedest. Nende najal võib lugeja ja rändaja end hõlpsasti kujutleda nüüdseks kadunud maailma võrratusse miljöösse ning uurida kunagist aadlikultuuri, mõttes taaselustades möödaniku lugusid ja neis üles astunud tegelasi. Sel retkel sobib teejuhiks rikkalikult illustreeritud raamat, mis kirjeldab nii Järvamaa omaaegseid pärleid kui ka praeguseks pea unustusse vajunud paiku, vanadelt fotodelt õhkumas igale mõisale ainuomast hõngu. Raamatu autori, põlise järvaka Alo Särje sulest on varem ilmunud sari põhjalikke käsitlusi Eesti mõisatest ja mõisnikest, viimastena Hiiumaa mõisad ning Tallinna mõisad ja mõisakesed.
