The Game of Life and How to Play it

Florence Scovel Shinn

Most  people  consider  life  a  battle,  but  it  is  not  a battle,  it  is  a  game. It  is  a  game,  however,  which  cannot  be  played successfully  without  the  knowledge  of  spiritual law,  and  the  Old  and  the  New  Testaments  give  the rules  of  the  game  with  wonderful  clearness.  Jesus Christ taught  that  it  was  a  great  game  of  Giving and  Receiving.  "Whatsoever  a  man  soweth  that  shall  he  also reap."  This  means  that  whatever  man  sends  out  in word  or  deed,  will  return  to  him;  what  he  gives,  he will  receive.

Dog Meat Samosa

Stanley Gazemba

Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, is a rambling traffic-choked metropolis, bursting at the seams with people striving to earn a living on its mean streets. While Nairobi has every appearance of a fast-growing, modern African city with the mushrooming skyscrapers and superhighways, the city possesses a dark underbelly. Dog Meat Samosa delves into the bowels of Nairobi’s crowded urban backstreets to paint a gritty picture of its underworld, to describe the human experience within this once glorious “City in the Sun” that has since metamorphosed into a cutthroat hustlers’ paradise.

The Subversive Seventies

Michael Hardt

In The Subversive Seventies, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies—often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful—are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. While many accounts of the 1970s have been written about the regimes of domination that emerged throughout the decade, Hardt approaches the subversive from the perspectives of those who sought to undermine the base of established authority and transform the fundamental structures of society. In so doing, he provides a novel account of the theoretical and practical projects of liberation that still speak to us today, too many of which have been all but forgotten. 
 
 
 
The movements of the seventies responded directly to emerging neoliberal frameworks and other structures of power that continue to rule over us today. They identified and confronted political problems that remain central for us. The 1970s, in this sense, marks the beginning of our time. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, The Subversive Seventies provides a reassessment of the political action of the 1970s that sheds new light not only on our revolutionary past but also on what liberation can be and do today.
