Summary

In "Class Unionism," Eugene V. Debs presents a compelling critique of the American labor movement, advocating for a unifying approach that transcends traditional craft and trade unions. Debs employs a clear, persuasive literary style that intertwines passionate rhetoric with empirical observations, dissecting the socio-economic disparities of his time. The book emerges in the context of the early 20th century, a period marked by escalating class struggles, industrialization, and the rise of socialist ideals, making Debs' arguments particularly resonant and timely for labor activists seeking a collective vision among workers. Eugene V. Debs, a prominent labor leader and five-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, draws from his extensive experience in the labor movement and his commitment to social justice to craft this work. His own experiences in organizing strikes and advocating for workers' rights inform his belief that a united labor front is essential for achieving meaningful reforms. Debs' familial background and his early engagements in socialism profoundly shaped his vision for a society in which workers are empowered and collectively organized. "Class Unionism" is an indispensable read for anyone interested in understanding the dynamic interactions between class, labor, and politics in American history. It is particularly relevant today as contemporary labor movements grapple with issues of unity and representation. Debs' insightful analysis invites readers to reflect on the importance of solidarity within the workforce and serves as a timeless call to action for collective empowerment.

    Made-Up - A True Story of Beauty...

    A nuanced, feminist, and deeply personal take on beauty culture and YouTube consumerism, in the tradition of Maggie Nelson’s Bluets
    		 
    As Daphné B. obsessively watches YouTube makeup tutorials and haunts Sephora’s website, she’s increasingly troubled by the ways in which this obsession contradicts her anti-capitalist and intersectional feminist politics. In this poetic treatise, she rejects the false binaries of traditional beauty standards and delves into the celebrities and influencers, from Kylie to Grimes, and the poets and philosophers, from Anne Boyer to Audre Lorde, who have shaped the reflection she sees in the mirror. At once confessional and essayistic, Made-Up is a meditation on the makeup that colours, that obscures, that highlights who we are and who we wish we could be.
    		 
    The original French-language edition was a cult hit in Quebec. Translated by Alex Manley—like Daphné, a Montreal poet and essayist—the book’s English-language text crackles with life, retaining the flair and verve of the original, and ensuring that a book on beauty is no less beautiful than its subject matter.
