Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future...

Chris Smaje

A defense of agroecological, small-scale farming and a robust critique of an industrialized future.  
As a breakdown of the climate, state power and globalized markets pushes us toward an epochal transition, Chris Smaje offers us a hopeful vision of a relocalized, self-sufficient world.—David Bollier  
One of the few voices to challenge The Guardian's George Monbiot on the future of food and farming (and the restoration of nature) is academic, farmer and author of A Small Farm Future Chris Smaje. In Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future, Smaje presents his defense of small-scale farming and a robust critique of Monbiot’s vision for an urban and industrialized future.  
Responding to Monbiot’s portrayal of an urban, high-energy, industrially manufactured food future as the answer to our current crises, and its unchallenged acceptance within the environmental discourse, Smaje was compelled to challenge Monbiot’s evidence and conclusions. At the same time, Smaje presents his powerful counterargument – a low-carbon agrarian localism that puts power in the hands of local communities, not high-tech corporates.  
In the ongoing fight for our food future, this book will help you to understand the difference between a congenial, ecological living and a dystopian, factory-centered existence. A must-read!

Varieties of Hope - Stories of...

Jan Campbell

This book explores how hope operates as an ambivalent force in relation to issues of sex and gender, power, and identity in both our private and public lives. 
 
The author blends her deep knowledge of psychotherapy and mental health with cultural and philosophical understanding to consider how we have reached our current dilemmas around sex and gender, race, power and identity. Psychoanalysis is put to task in relation to clinical practice, literature, feminism, politics, and the understandings of how our personal lives and selves interact with the wider cultural moment we are living through. She explores these issues with compassion and understanding and offers a vision of how we may be able to navigate through widely varying perspectives to a new way of envisioning hope today, as both a false promise and a real and necessary component in our lives and within the clinical encounter. 
 
Drawing on clinical psychoanalytic work as well as literature and memoir, this is essential listening for anyone wanting a psychoanalytically informed understanding of where society is on key issues and where we may be able to get to with hope.
