Sinopse

Christmas Island, an Australian territory, serves as a microcosm for understanding global issues. This book explores the island's complex history, focusing on its strategic importance in resource economics and immigration policy.The story of phosphate mining on Christmas Island, for instance, reveals how a seemingly remote location became a key player in global trade, impacting the island's unique cultural and ecological landscape. The book also examines the ethical and geopolitical implications of using the island as a site for immigration detention, raising critical questions about national sovereignty and humanitarian obligations.The book provides a comprehensive historical context, tracing the island's geological formation to its present-day challenges. It begins with the discovery and exploitation of phosphate, detailing how this resource attracted laborers from various countries and transformed the island's demographics. Later chapters shift to Australia's controversial use of Christmas Island for processing asylum seekers.Christmas Island provides valuable insights into how resource management, migration control, and environmental sustainability are intertwined, making it essential reading for anyone interested in politics, history, and the challenges facing island communities in a globalized world.

    The underground cult bestseller! Essays that redefine the psychogeographical nooks of autonomy. Recipes for poetic terror, anarcho -black magic, post-situ psychotropic surgery, denunciations of spiritual addictions to vapid infotainment cults - this is the bastard classic, the watermark impressed upon our minds. Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, T.A.Z. is beginning to worm its way into above-ground culture. This book offers inspired blasts of writing, from slogans to historical essays, on the need to insert revolutionary happiness into everyday life through poetic action, and celebrating the radical optimism present in outlaw cultures. It should appeal to alternative thinkers and punks everywhere, as it celebrates liberation, love and poetic living. The new edition contains the full text of Chaos: The Broadsheets of Ontological Anarchism, the complete communiques and flyers of the Association fo Ontological Anarchy, the long essay 'The Temporary Autonomous Zone, ' and a new preface by the author
