Sinossi

War Propaganda explores how nations mobilized public support during the World Wars, examining the techniques used to shape opinions and encourage participation. The book delves into emotionally charged imagery, the demonization of enemies, and the selective dissemination of information, revealing how these methods influenced soldiers, civilians, and political leaders alike. Understanding war propaganda is essential because it showcases the power of persuasion and manipulation in large-scale conflicts. The book analyzes specific propaganda techniques across different nations, highlighting both common strategies and contextual variations. By drawing from government documents, posters, films, and personal accounts, it investigates propaganda's impact on morale, recruitment, and public support. This approach challenges conventional understandings of war by asserting that manipulating public consciousness was as crucial as military strategies. The book progresses logically, starting with a definition of propaganda and its historical roots, then moves to analyze specific techniques and their effects. By combining historical analysis, media studies, and social psychology, War Propaganda offers a nuanced perspective on this complex subject. This book's exploration of historical events provides readers with a framework for understanding contemporary political communication and media manipulation.

Tangled in Terror - Uprooting...

Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan

'Lyrical and uncompromising - Suhaiymah writes to disrupt' - gal-dem 
Islamophobia is everywhere. It is a narrative and history woven so deeply into our everyday lives that we don’t even notice it – in our education, how we travel, our healthcare, legal system and at work. Behind the scenes it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs. 
In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does. 
Tangled in Terror shows that until the most marginalised Muslims are safe, nobody is safe.

Hanging Out - The Radical Power...

Sheila Liming

A smart and empowering book about the simple art of hanging out . . . and of taking back our social lives from the deadening whirl of contemporary life. 
 
 
 
Almost every day it seems that our world becomes more fractured, more digital, and more chaotic. Sheila Liming has the answer: we need to hang out more. 
 
 
 
Starting with the assumption that play is to children as hanging out is to adults, Liming makes a brilliant case for the necessity of unstructured social time as a key element of our cultural vitality. The book asks questions like what is hanging out? why is it important? why do we do it? how do we do it? and examines the various ways we hang out—in groups, online, at parties, at work. 
 
 
 
Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time makes an intelligent case for the importance of this most casual of social structures and shows us how just getting together can be a potent act of resistance all on its own.

The Tory’s Wife - A Woman and...

Cynthia A. Kierner

The Spurgin family of North Carolina experienced the cataclysm of the American Revolution in the most dramatic ways—and from different sides. This engrossing book tells the story of Jane Welborn Spurgin, a patriot who welcomed General Nathanael Greene to her home and aided Continental forces while her loyalist husband was fighting for the king as an officer in the Tory militia. By focusing on the wife of a middling backcountry farmer, esteemed historian Cynthia Kierner shows how the Revolution not only toppled long-established political hierarchies but also strained family ties and drew women into the public sphere to claim both citizenship and rights—as Jane Spurgin did with a dramatic series of petitions to the North Carolina state legislature when she fought to reclaim her family's lost property after the war was over. 
 
 
 
While providing listeners with stories of battles, horse-stealing, bigamy, and exile that bring the Revolutionary era vividly to life, this book also serves as an invaluable examination of the potentially transformative effects of war and revolution, both personally and politically.

Inventing the Future -...

Nick Srnicek, Alex Williams

This major new manifesto offers a "clear and compelling vision of a postcapitalist society" and shows how left-wing politics can be rebuilt for the twenty-first century (Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism 
 
 
 
Neoliberalism isn't working. Austerity is forcing millions into poverty and many more into precarious work, while the left remains trapped in stagnant political practices that offer no respite. 
 
 
 
Inventing the Future is a bold new manifesto for life after capitalism. Against the confused understanding of our high-tech world by both the right and the left, this book claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities of our society can be reclaimed.
