  Ousted from power by the French army on April 11, 2011, following the disputed presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire of November 2010, Laurent Gbagbo was charged with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on December 5, 2011.
  
  This book, written from 2012 onwards, thanks to numerous prison visits and interviews, is the only one to have been produced with the participation of the Ivorian president during his incarceration and trial.
  This unique testimony is more than ever a document for history, because it sheds light on the manipulations of the 2010 elections, the collusion between Nicolas Sarkozy's France and the ICC to get rid of Laurent Gbagbo, and the stalling tactics and maneuvers that marred "Gbagbogate."
  Over meetings with François Mattei, Laurent Gbagbo looks back on his seven years in prison, explains what they mean and shares his vision for the future—that of a free man, come what may.

  Imagination - A Manifesto

  A world without prisons? Ridiculous. Schools that foster the genius of every child? Impossible. Work that doesn't strangle the life out of people? Naive. A society where everyone has food, shelter, love? In your dreams. Exactly. 
   
   
   
  We have the power to use our imaginations to create a world in which everyone can thrive. But obstacles abound. We have inherited destructive ideas that trap us inside a dominant imagination. Consider how racism, sexism, and classism make hierarchies, exploitation, and violence seem natural and inevitable—but all emerged from the human imagination. 
   
   
   
  The most effective way to disrupt these deadly systems is to do so collectively. Ruha Benjamin highlights the educators, artists, activists, and many others who are refuting powerful narratives that justify the status quo, crafting new stories that reflect our interconnection, and offering creative approaches to seemingly intractable problems. 
   
   
   
  Imagination: A Manifesto offers visionary examples and tactics to push beyond the constraints of what we think, and are told, is possible. This book is for anyone who is ready to take to heart Toni Morrison's instruction: "Dream a little before you think."

  The little-known history of black soldiers and defense workers in the First World War, and what happened afterward: “Highly recommended.” —Choice   In one of the few book-length treatments of the subject, historian Nina Mjagkij conveys the full range of the African American experience during the “Great War.” Prior to World War I, most African Americans did not challenge the racial status quo. But nearly 370,000 black soldiers served in the military during the war, and some 400,000 black civilians migrated from the rural South to the urban North for defense jobs.    Following the war, emboldened by their military service and their support of the war on the home front, African Americans were determined to fight for equality—but struggled in the face of indifference and hostility in spite of their combat-veteran status. America would soon be forced to confront the impact of segregation and racism—beginning a long, dramatic reckoning that continues over a century later.   “Painstakingly describes the frustration, sometimes anger, and frequent courage demonstrated by southern and northern African Americans in their attempts to include themselves in the national crusade of making the world safe for democracy . . . one of the most comprehensive treatments of the race issue in the early twentieth century that this reader has seen.” —Journal of Southern History

  The Politics of Urban...

  Urban development has long been a critical component of economic and social growth worldwide. As populations continue to increase and cities expand, the planning, management, and policies surrounding urban spaces become ever more complex. Urban development encompasses the physical, economic, and social transformation of cities, focusing on housing, infrastructure, transportation, and public spaces, while also addressing broader issues such as economic disparity, environmental sustainability, and social justice. 
  Historically, urbanization has been driven by industrialization, technological advancements, and shifts in global economic patterns. The migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of better job opportunities and living conditions has accelerated this process. As a result, cities have grown in both size and importance, becoming hubs for innovation, culture, and commerce. However, this growth has not come without challenges. Rapid urbanization often leads to overcrowded living conditions, increased pollution, traffic congestion, and the strain of public services. 
  At the heart of urban development is the relationship between power, policy, and planning. Political decisions and governmental priorities often shape the trajectory of cities, influencing everything from zoning laws and land use to infrastructure development and housing affordability. In this context, urban planning becomes not just a technical exercise, but a deeply political one, with differing interests—ranging from developers and business leaders to community groups and activists—competing for influence. The way these decisions are made can either foster inclusivity and equity or exacerbate social inequalities.
