  Social Justice - Strategies for...

  Social justice has a rich and complex history, shaped by numerous social, political, and economic movements over centuries. Its roots can be traced back to the Enlightenment era, where philosophers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced ideas of equality, individual rights, and the social contract. These concepts laid the groundwork for future social justice movements by emphasizing the inherent rights and dignity of every individual. 
    
  In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the abolition of slavery marked a significant milestone in the evolution of social justice. Abolitionists fought tirelessly to end the inhumane practice of slavery, advocating for the freedom and equal treatment of all people regardless of race. This movement not only aimed to abolish slavery but also to challenge the deeply entrenched racial hierarchies and discrimination that persisted even after slavery was formally ended. 
    
  The labor movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries further expanded the scope of social justice by addressing economic inequalities and workers' rights. These movements sought fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable working hours, and the right to unionize. The struggle for labor rights highlighted the connection between economic justice and broader social equity, demonstrating that fair treatment in the workplace is essential for overall social justice.

  Vagabond Princess - The Great...

  Situated in the early decades of the magnificent Mughal Empire, this first ever biography of Princess Gulbadan offers an enthralling portrait of a charismatic adventurer and unique pictures of the multicultural society in which she lived. Following a migratory childhood that spanned Kabul and north India, Gulbadan spent her middle years in a walled harem established by her nephew Akbar to showcase his authority as the Great Emperor. Gulbadan longed for the exuberant itinerant lifestyle she'd known. With Akbar's blessing, she led an unprecedented sailing and overland voyage and guided harem women on an extended pilgrimage in Arabia. Amid increasing political tensions, the women's "un-Islamic" behavior forced their return, lengthened by a dramatic shipwreck in the Red Sea. 
   
   
   
  Gulbadan wrote a book upon her return, the only extant work of prose by a woman of the age. A portion of it is missing, either lost to history or redacted by officials who did not want the princess to have her say. 
   
   
   
  Vagabond Princess contemplates the story of the missing pages and breathes new life into a daring historical figure. It offers a portal to a richly complex world, rife with movement and migration, where women's conviviality, adventure, and autonomies shine through.

  Cannibal Capitalism - How our...

  A trenchant look at contemporary capitalism's insatiable appetite—and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world 
   
   
   
  Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life—guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. 
   
   
   
  What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital—and starve it to death.
