  Practicing New Worlds explores how principles of emergence, adaptation, iteration, resilience, transformation, interdependence, decentralization, and fractalization can shape organizing toward a world without the violence of surveillance, police, prisons, jails, or cages of any kind, in which we collectively have everything we need to survive and thrive. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on decades of experience as an abolitionist organizer, policy advocate, and litigator in movements for racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice and the principles articulated by adrienne maree brown in Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, Ritchie invites us to think beyond traditional legislative and policy change to create more possibilities for survival and resistance in the midst of the ongoing catastrophes of racial capitalism—and the cataclysms to come. Rooted in analysis of current abolitionist practices and interviews with on-the-ground organizers resisting state violence, building networks to support people in need of abortion care, and nurturing organizations and convergences that can grow transformative cities and movements, Practicing New Worlds takes listeners on a journey of learning, unlearning, experimentation, and imagination to dream the worlds we long for into being.

  Abraham - The First Jew

  The story of Abraham, the first Jew, portrayed as two lives lived by one person, paralleling the contradictions in Judaism throughout its history 
   
   
    
  In this new biography of Abraham, Judaism's foundational figure, Anthony Julius offers an account of the origins of a fundamental struggle within Judaism between skepticism and faith, critique and affirmation, thinking for oneself and thinking under the direction of another. Julius describes Abraham's life as two separate lives, and as a version of the collective life of the Jewish people. 
   
   
    
  Abraham's first life is an early adulthood of questioning the polytheism of his home city of Ur Kasdim until its ruler, Nimrod, condemns him to death and he is rescued, he believes, by a miracle. In his second life, Abraham's focus is no longer on critique but rather on conversion and on his leadership over his growing household, until God's command that he sacrifice his son Isaac. This test, the Akedah (or "Binding"), ends with another miracle, as he believes, but as Julius argues, it is also a catastrophe for Abraham. The Akedah represents for him an unsurpassed horizon—and in Jewish life thereafter. This book focuses on Abraham as leader of the first Jewish project, Judaism, and the unresolvable, insurmountable crisis that the Akedah represents—both in his leadership and in Judaism itself.

  An Enemy of the Crown - The...

  In the early 1970s, Sir Maurice Oldfield of the British Secret Service, MI6, embarked upon a decade-long campaign to derail the political career of Charles Haughey. The English spymaster believed Haughey was a Provisional IRA godfather, therefore, a threat to Britain. Oldfield was assisted by unscrupulous British agents and by a shadowy group of conspirators inside the Irish state's security apparatus, all sharing his distrust of Haughey. Escaping scrutiny for their actions until now, Enemy of the Crown examines more than a dozen instances of their activities.
  Oldfield was conspiratorial by nature and lacked a moral compass. Involved in regime change plots and torture in the Middle East, in the Republic of Ireland he engaged with convicted criminals as agent provocateurs as well as the exploitation of pedophile rings in Northern Ireland. He and his spies engaged in dirty tricks as they ran vicious smear campaigns in Ireland, Britain and the US. MI6 and IRD intrigues were deployed to impede Haughey's bid to secure a position on Fianna Fáil's front bench and any return to respectability.
  London's hateful drive against Haughey saw no let-up after Fianna Fáil's triumphal return to power in 1977 which saw them win a large majority of seats in the Dáil. When Haughey sought a place at Cabinet, Oldfield and his spies devised more dirty tricks to impede him. While Haughey was suspicious of MI6 interference, he had no inkling of the full extent of London's clandestine efforts to destroy him. By circulating lurid stories about him, they played a major part in trying to prevent him succeed Jack Lynch as Taoiseach in 1979. This book attempts to shed light on some of the anti-Haughey conspiracies which took place during the period of the late 1960s right through to the early 1980s.

  The Iranian Revolution - Rise of...

  Before the streets of Tehran echoed with revolutionary chants and the name of Ayatollah Khomeini became a global symbol of defiance, Iran was ruled by Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi—a monarch whose ambition was to modernize his country at any cost. Known as the "King of Kings," the Shah envisioned an Iran that could rival Western nations in technology, infrastructure, and global prestige. His White Revolution, launched in the 1960s, was a sweeping series of reforms aimed at rapidly modernizing the nation. Land redistribution, women's suffrage, industrial expansion, and increased secular education were all central to his vision. In the eyes of Western powers, especially the United States, he was a key ally and a symbol of stability in a volatile region. 
  But beneath this polished exterior, discontent festered. The Shah’s modernization efforts, while bold, were top-down and often clashed with Iran’s deeply rooted religious and traditional structures. Many in the rural population saw land reforms as chaotic and unfair, while urban intellectuals criticized the regime's autocratic nature. The clergy, once influential in shaping public life and morality, saw their role increasingly diminished. Religious scholars and conservative families grew uneasy as Western influence crept deeper into Iranian society, challenging long-standing cultural and Islamic norms. 
  Moreover, the Shah ruled with an iron grip. Political dissent was crushed by SAVAK, the brutal secret police known for its surveillance, torture, and disappearances. Political parties were neutered or banned altogether, and elections were often staged performances. Public criticism of the monarchy was not tolerated, driving opposition voices either underground or into exile. Despite vast oil revenues, economic inequality widened, and rapid urbanization led to overcrowded cities, job shortages, and growing disillusionment among the working class and youth.
