  Are White Men Smarter Than...

  Just six years after the Racial Reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd, we are witnessing a full-scale assault on equality in America unparalleled since the overthrow of Reconstruction. Building on the urgency and clarity of his New York Times and Washington Post bestseller Brown Is the New White and his "spirited and persuasive" (Publishers Weekly) How We Win the Civil War, Steve Phillips now calls on the nation to go back on the offensive in the fight for racial justice. 
  In twelve short, animated chapters covering the fields of government, education, business, philanthropy, media, arts and entertainment, and democracy itself, Phillips exposes how Straight White American Male Preference (or S.W.A.M.P.) has come roaring out of the shadows once again. He makes a powerful argument for how widespread persistent inequality largely stems from the deeply ingrained practice of providing unfair, if not unconstitutional, preferences to straight white men. 
  Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else? calls for nothing less than draining the swamp of white male privilege. Fearless, sharp, and deeply researched, this much-needed corrective offers those who wish to help make this nation a multiracial democracy—where all people are truly equal—the arguments, evidence, and inspiration they need to launch a new counterattack.

  Eric Arthur Blair alias George Orwell was born on 25th June 1903 and died on 2t1 January 1950 was an English writer and essayist, critic, and journalist. His work is characterized by a concise writing, sharp social critique, and resistance to totalitarianism and vocal support for democratic socialism. 
  Orwell had created literary analysis and poetry, polemical journalism, and fiction as a writer; and is best remembered for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and the allegorical novel Animal Farm (1945). His non-fiction novels, such as The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), describing his conception of working-class living in northern England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his work experiences as a soldier for the Spanish Civil War Republican contingent (1936–1939), is as critically regarded as his essays on language and culture and politics and literature. He was ranked second by The Times in 2008 among The 50 finest British authors since 1945.

  In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands. She centers the voices of people who resist residual governance and the harms of toxic mining waste to highlight how mining's centrality to South African history reveals the links between race, capitalism, the state, and the environment. In this way, Hecht shows how the history of mining in South Africa and the resistance to residual governance and environmental degradation is a planetary story: the underlying logic of residual governance lies at the heart of contemporary global racial capitalism and is a major accelerant of the Anthropocene.
