Sinossi

Swahili Coast Exchange explores the vibrant history of the Swahili Coast, highlighting its pivotal role in maritime trade and cultural exchange within the Indian Ocean world. It unveils how the Swahili city-states, located in East Africa, actively shaped their destiny by strategically leveraging their unique cultural assets. The book details the fascinating blend of African, Islamic, and Asian influences that fostered a thriving society, challenging Eurocentric views that often overlook African contributions to global exchange.

 
The book examines how Swahili architecture, characterized by unique designs reflecting wealth and cultural identity, and the evolution of the Swahili language, a Bantu language enriched by Arabic, were central to the region's success. It also traces the intricate maritime trade networks that connected the Swahili Coast to distant shores, facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the historical and cultural context, followed by in-depth explorations of architecture, language, and trade, supported by diverse evidence ranging from archaeological findings to linguistic studies.

    Empire of Deterrence - Nuclear...

    This book considers nuclear deterrence as a form of authority. It describes the rise of deterrence in the Anglosphere particularly as the rule of economic law hardened to protect a civilization in its deterministic, automated phase. Nuclear deterrence has increasingly been leveraged against populations to smother politics and protect an absolute stasis with its heart in a cybernetics of human eclipse – helping to explain why, when nuclear war became immanent and taken for granted in the 1990s, much political campaigning began to collapse into culture wars turning politics into currency for an anxious managerial class. Pre-set political values now flow from the world’s foremost nuclear power, the US, and its British satellite, relying on a growing sense that conflict is pointless and there is no escape from the feedback loop of performative affirmation. This book resurrects some half-buried Cold War cultural and theoretical resources, from Paul Virilio to Stephen Poliakoff to Folk Horror, and brings up questions of local action and the undoing of the old Anglosphere commercial empire, to ask if there are ways of unthinking deterrence blackmail.

    What Is Art?

    What Is Art? is the result of fifteen years’ reflection on the nature and purpose of art. 
    Tolstoy claims that all good art is related to the authentic life of the broader community and that the aesthetic value of a work of art is not independent of its moral content. The book is noteworthy not only for its famous iconoclasm and compelling attacks on the aestheticist notion of “art for art’s sake” but even more for its wit, its lucid and beautiful prose, and its sincere expression of the deepest social conscience. 
    Tolstoy is an author critics typically rank alongside Shakespeare and Homer. A sustained consideration of the cultural import of art by someone who was himself an artist of the highest stature will always remain relevant and fascinating to anyone interested in the place of art and literature in society.
