    In recent years, Türkiye's foreign policy has been driven by efforts to reset relations with regional competitors in the
    Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Against a backdrop of disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as the redefinition of the US role in the region, Ankara's renewed diplomatic activism has been guided by the willingness to break from regional isolation, as well as the need to relieve Türkiye's deteriorating economy. How did Türkiye ditch its ideological approach in the wake of the 2011 Arab uprisings to adopt a more pragmatic stance? And how is the process of rapprochement with other key actors in the MENA region playing out – namely Gulf monarchies, Israel and Egypt?

    Repairing Our Divided Nation -...

    David Ellison wrote Repairing Our Divided Nation because he, like so many others, is frustrated with the division he sees in our nation, particularly when it comes to race and politics. In his desire to help create a better world for all – no matter one’s color or political persuasion – Ellison studied the works of some of the world’s most respected scholars and summaries of notable Supreme Court cases that continue to negatively impact society today. 
    With malice toward none, Repairing Our Divided Nation offers: 
    • History lessons that should be required reading for all Americans. 
    • A demand that Congress stop abdicating its responsibilities. 
    • A plan for running our elections so the best people are sent to Washington to serve We the People. 
    • A proposal for improving our schools’ curricula and administration. 
    • A call for guaranteeing that all Americans, no matter their color, wealth, or zip code, have a real chance at becoming economically self-reliant and living a life with dignity. 
    Thi book concludes with four of the most important documents in America’s history: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Amendments to the Constitution, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” Ellison believes that if every American did a deep dive into understanding each document’s message, we would have the more perfect Union our Founders envisioned.

    Locked Down Locked Out - Why...

    An analysis of the US prison system through real-life stories, and a look at the complex work of community-based social justice projects. 
     
     
     
    Through the stories of prisoners and their families, including her own family's experiences, Maya Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans and decimates poor communities of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully deal with problems—both individual harm and larger social wrongs—through connection rather than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us. 
     
     
     
    "Maya Schenwar's stories about prisoners, their families (including her own), and the thoroughly broken punishment system are rescued from any pessimism such narratives might inspire by the author's brilliant juxtaposition of abolitionist imaginaries and radical political practices." —Angela Y. Davis, author of Are Prisons Obsolete?

    The Politics of Obedience - A...

    In this seminal work of political philosophy, Boetie asks one of the most obvious questions of political theory: why is it that a minority of rulers can remain in power over a majority of subjects who pay all the taxes? 
    The answer might be quite surprising to us all. The conclusion is that the people tend to enslave themselves, to let themselves be governed by tyrants. 
    Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. People are trained to adore rulers. While freedom is forgotten by many, there are always some who will never submit. 
    What is the answer then? 
    The author brilliantly and obviously outlines these points in the pages that follow in a way that is illuminating and also simple. It is we who enslave ourselves at the beck and call of 'authority'. Enjoy this classic work that roots sovereignty into philosophy and demonstrates how simply the tides can change.
