  For some of us, the family is a source of love and support. But for many others, the family is a place of private horror, coercion, and personal domination. In a capitalist society, the private family carries the impossible demands of interpersonal care and social reproductive labor. Can we imagine a different future? 
   
   
   
  In Family Abolition, author M. E. O'Brien uncovers the history of struggles to create radical alternatives to the private family. O'Brien traces the changing family politics of racial capitalism in the industrial cities of Europe and the slave plantations and settler frontier of North America, explaining the rise and fall of the housewife-based family form. From early Marxists to Black and queer insurrectionists to today's mass protest movements, O'Brien finds revolutionaries seeking better ways of loving, caring, and living. Family Abolition takes us through the past and present of family politics into a speculative future of the commune, imagining how care could be organized in a free society.

  From 1924 till his death in 1953, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet politician who ruled the Soviet Union. He was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952 and Chairman of the Soviet Union's Council of Ministers from 1941 to 1953. In spite of ruling the nation as part of a collective management, he ultimately combined power and ended up being the totalitarian of the Soviet Union by the 1930s. Stalin, a communist dedicated to Lenin's grasp of Marxism, formalized these concepts as Marxism-- Leninism, while his personal policies were called Stalinism.Stalin was born into an penniless family in Gori, Georgia, under the Russian Empire. He participated in the Tbilisi Spiritual Academy before signing up with the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. He went on to modify the party's paper, Pravda, and used thefts, kidnappings, and security rackets to raise cash for Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik faction. He was usually imprisoned and banished within the nation. Stalin ended up being a member of the freshly formed Communist Party's ruling Politburo when the Bolsheviks took power at the time of the October Revolution and developed a one-party state. Following Lenin's death in 1924, Stalin got control of the nation after serving in the Russian Civil War and managing the development of the Soviet Union in 1922. Socialism in one nation ended up being a major component of the party's concept under Stalin. The nation observed farming collectivization and quick industrialization because of the Five-Year Plans launched under his management, leading to a central command economy. That led to serious food production disturbances, which added to the starvation of 1932-- 33. Between 1934 and 1939, Stalin carried out the Great Purge to rid the nation of declared "working-class adversaries."

  The Late Medieval Scottish...

  In this ground-breaking study of the medieval parliament, Roland Tanner gives the Scottish Parliament a human face by examining the actions and motives of those who attended. In the past, the Scottish Parliament was seen as a weak and ineffective institution – damned because of its failure to be more like its English counterpart. But Roland Tanner shows that the old picture of weakness is far from accurate. In its very different way, the Scottish Parliament was every bit as powerful as the English institution. The ‘Three Estates’ (the clergy, nobility and burgh representatives who attended Parliament) were able to wield a surprising degree of control over the Crown during the fifteenth century. For instance, they threatened to lock James I’s taxation in a box to which he, the king, would have no access, made James II swear not to alter acts of Parliament, and prevented him from using his own lands and wealth as patronage for his supporters, and forbade James III to leave the country.  Roland Tanner has avoided a dry constitutional approach. Instead he has sought to bring Parliament to life through the people who attended, the reasons why they attended, and the complex interactions which occurred when all the most wealthy, powerful and ambitious people in the kingdom gathered in one place.
