  Improvised Explosive Device

  Arji Manuelpillai

  Improvised Explosive Device is a startlingly innovative exploration of extremism, hate crime and violence by poet Arji Manuelpillai. In this powerful and unsettling first collection, Manuelpillai presents a vision of the contemporary haunted by Melville's image of the whale – the terror beneath the surface of the sea. His uncompromising focus on violence is laced with gallows humour and the surreal, framed against the mundane detritus of modern life: two boys playing Mortal Kombat; a field of old trainers; the lonely glare of laptop light; a suspicious looking package in the back seat of a van.
  The poems in Improvised Explosive Device emerged through research and interviews with academics, sociologists, and former members of extremist groups and their families – from the English Defence League and the National Front to ISIS and the Tamil Tigers. These complex, unnerving texts ask a series of important questions. What drives a person to commit a radical act of violence? How is that violence mediated through screens and social media? And how does the British government police marginalised groups? Improvised Explosive Device is a brave, surprising and risk-taking book; it will change the way you look at the world.
  "Refusing glib analysis and easy answers, Improvised Explosive Device is a work of radical empathy, fuelled by honesty and compassion, both for those stirred to violence against minorities, and those who suffer from it." Rishi Dastidar
  "The project of Arji Manuelpillai's Improvised Explosive Device leans into the mighty disciplines of poetry, sociology, and reportage to formulate an arresting debut which contests the ways we're conditioned to internalise notions of terrorism, nationalism and belonging...a bold and startling new work." Anthony Anaxagorou

  Nihilism - The Philosophy of...

  Hector Davidson

  Nihilism is often misunderstood as mere pessimism or despair, yet it is far more complex than a simple rejection of hope. At its core, nihilism is the philosophical stance that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. This perspective challenges the foundations of morality, knowledge, and existence itself, questioning whether anything possesses objective significance. While nihilism can evoke feelings of emptiness and disillusionment, it can also serve as a liberating force, stripping away illusions and compelling individuals to forge their own meaning. 
  The term "nihilism" originates from the Latin word "nihil," meaning "nothing." Though traces of nihilistic thought can be found in ancient skepticism, it was in the 19th century that the philosophy gained prominence. Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared the "death of God," arguing that traditional religious and moral values had lost their authority. He warned that without these guiding structures, society risked falling into despair and meaninglessness. However, Nietzsche did not advocate surrendering to nihilism but instead sought a way to overcome it through the creation of new values. Russian nihilists of the same era took a different approach, rejecting societal norms and advocating for radical change, often through extreme means. Their interpretation of nihilism fueled revolutionary movements, demonstrating its potential to inspire both destruction and transformation.  
  Nihilism manifests in various forms, from existential and moral nihilism to epistemological and political nihilism. Existential nihilism is perhaps the most well-known, asserting that life has no ultimate purpose or inherent meaning. This idea has been explored by thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, who wrestled with the absurdity of existence.

  We are thrust into a world of comparisons and competition from the time we are born. We are judged based on the colour of our skin, size & shape of our nose, eyes and other body parameters. As we grow older, our value as a person is not only assessed by our parents but also by those around us in the community. Besides, attractiveness and intelligence play a significant role in finding a place for ourselves in society. These factors lead to low self-esteem, which hinders people from achieving their full potential. In the book, Thomas Skaria explores several crucial questions, including what self-esteem is, sources of low self-esteem, signs and impact, and how to find a true basis for self-esteem.

  Undoing Manifest Destiny -...

  L. Daniel Hawk

  As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion―over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told. 
   
  In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices. 
   
  Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.
