Sinopsis

In 'Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism,' Alexander Berkman presents a profound exploration of anarchist philosophy, particularly its intersection with communist ideology. Through a direct and accessible prose style, Berkman elucidates complex political concepts, making the text both intellectually engaging and practically relevant. He critiques state power and capitalism, advocating for a societal transformation rooted in mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. Drawing from historical movements and his own experiences, Berkman situates his arguments within the broader context of early 20th-century radical thought, making this work a crucial reference for understanding the evolution of anarchist theory. Alexander Berkman (1870-1936), a prominent anarchist thinker and activist, was deeply influenced by the socio-political landscape of his time, including the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of totalitarian regimes. Berkman's own experiences, including his imprisonment for a failed assassination attempt on an industrialist, shaped his perspectives on individual freedom and collective action. His life's work embodies a commitment to social justice, making 'Now and After' both a personal testament and a scholarly contribution to anarchist literature. This essential work is recommended for anyone seeking insight into anarchist critiques of modern society and the foundational principles of communist anarchism. Readers will find Berkman's ideas strikingly relevant in today's discussions on freedom, social hierarchy, and the quest for equality. Whether one is a seasoned activist or a curious newcomer to political philosophy, Berkman's work provides a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the possibilities for social change.

    In everything from health care and politics to technology and economics, we are experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us feel better temporarily but don't last. 
     
     
     
    For those who want to dive deeper into Enneagram wisdom, expert teacher Suzanne Stabile opens the concept of three Centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling, and doing. When we learn to manage these centers, each for its intended purpose, we open a path to reducing fear, improving relationships, growing spiritually, and finding wholeness. Drawing on the dynamic stability of the Enneagram, she explains each number's preferred and repressed Center of Intelligence and its role in helping us move toward internal balance. Using brief focused chapters, this book provides what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting transformation in our lives.

    Ghosts spoke. Women listened. Everything changed. 
     
     
     
    In the 1840s, the Fox Sisters—and the legions of mediums they inspired—ignited the Spiritualist movement that swept through Victorian parlors and presidential campaigns alike. Contacting the dead wasn't merely a parlor trick: It was a political statement, a declaration of self that still echoes. Séances attracted suffragists and scientists, skeptics and charlatans, giving women a voice in a society that often refused to hear them. But as Spiritualism surged, it also blurred the lines between faith, fraud, feminism, and financial opportunity, drawing figures as varied as Harry Houdini, Victoria Woodhull, and even modern self-help gurus into its ever-expanding orbit. 
     
     
     
    From wartime séances to the rise of televangelists, from Victorian ghosts to goop-approved wellness rituals, When We Spoke to the Dead unearths the forgotten roots of today's obsession with manifestation, mysticism, and the power of belief. Exploring America's deep-seated hunger for the unseen—whether through politics, personal empowerment, or grief—this book traces how the supernatural, once condemned as heresy, became the ultimate commodity.

    Faith - A Very Short Introduction

    What is faith? It usually means religious belief, and sometimes diverse religions are grouped together as "faiths," with reference to "faith leaders" or "faith schools." What we have faith in matters, and that involves our reason, involving claims to truths that affect everyone. Faith is not just a personal attribute, like tastes, but should be open to public examination and debate. 
     
     
     
    In this Very Short Introduction, Roger Trigg argues that all faith needs reason. He puts contemporary discussions into historical perspective, particularly in the context of Christianity. The author argues that faith also involves a commitment to action and that matters for all social life. Because religion is typically directed at what is seen as of crucial importance for human life, faith should not be marginalized or privatized. It will permeate every idea of how people should behave, and has a role in the public square, however respectful it should be to competing views within a democracy.

    The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
     
     
     
    Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
     
     
     
    Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.
