The Spirit of the Laws emerges as a seminal collection, presenting a profound inquiry into the philosophies that have shaped the development of political and legal systems across cultures and epochs. This anthology captures an array of literary styles, from analytical essays to thought-provoking treatises, revealing the depths of Enlightenment thinking.

    Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state, and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political science's current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seek political office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization, and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black women's political work. By focusing on Black women's experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections.

    If China seems unstoppable, so too does its leader Xi Jinping. As general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and president of China, he commands over 1.4 billion people, in a vast country that spans the prosperous megacities of Beijing and Shanghai and desperately poor rural regions where families still struggle with malnutrition. 
     
     
     
    Today, Xi Jinping faces a series of monumental challenges that would make other global leaders tremble: a trade war with the USA, political unrest in Hong Kong, accusations of genocide in Xinjiang, stuttering economic growth, and a devastating global pandemic that originated inside China. 
     
     
     
    But who is Xi Jinping and what does he really want? To rejuvenate China and bring economic prosperity to all its people? To challenge American supremacy and turn China into the world's dominant power? Avoiding both sycophantic flattery and outright condemnation, this new biography by Stefan Aust and Adrian Geiges gets inside the head of one of the world's most mysterious leaders. Skillfully unraveling the hidden story of Xi Jinping's life and career, from his early childhood to his rise to the pinnacles of the Party and the State, they flesh out his views and uncover how he became the most powerful man in the world.

    "Israel: The Last Vestige of European Colonialism in the Middle East" is an in-depth examination of the historical and ongoing impact of European colonialism on the formation and expansion of Israel. Through a critical lens, this book challenges the mainstream narratives that depict Israel as the rightful homeland of the Jewish people and instead explores its colonial roots and the displacement of the indigenous Palestinian population. 
      
    The book delves into the role of European powers, from the Zionist movement's inception in the late 19th century to the political maneuvers that facilitated the establishment of Israel in 1948. It uncovers how Western support, particularly from Britain and the United States, enabled the colonization of Palestine while ignoring the rights of the native population. It also analyzes the demographic changes brought about by waves of European Jewish immigration and presents genetic evidence highlighting the European ancestry of much of the modern Israeli population. 
      
    By exploring topics such as the marginalization of non-European Jewish communities, the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories, and the influence of Western powers, this book aims to shed light on the historical injustices and colonial dynamics that continue to shape the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Readers will be encouraged to question established narratives, understand the broader geopolitical implications, and consider the pathways to justice and accountability for the Palestinian people.
