In "Anarchy and Anarchists," Michael J. Schaack presents a compelling examination of the philosophical underpinnings and historical narratives surrounding anarchism. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and sociopolitical contexts, Schaack elucidates the various strands of anarchist thought, exploring its emergence in response to state power and capitalism. The book's literary style is both rigorous and accessible, employing a narrative approach that intertwines theoretical discussions with empirical case studies, thus situating anarchism within broader socio-historical movements. This scholarly work is particularly noteworthy for its critical engagement with both contemporary and historical anarchist figures, presenting a nuanced understanding of their ideologies and motivations. Michael J. Schaack, a scholar known for his extensive research in social movements and political philosophy, brings personal insight into the discourse on anarchism. His background in political theory and activism informs a passionate yet critical analysis of anarchist movements, exploring themes of agency, resistance, and the quest for liberation. The author'Äôs engagement with various anarchist communities offers readers a rich, contextual exploration that enriches academic understanding. "Anarchy and Anarchists" is a vital read for anyone interested in political theory, history, and social movements. Scholars, students, and casual readers alike will find Schaack'Äôs meticulous research and engaging prose both enlightening and thought-provoking. This work invites a deeper consideration of how anarchist principles can inform contemporary societal struggles and contribute to ongoing discussions about freedom and governance.

    "What can we do amidst all the controversies over race and gender in society today? Do we have anything constructive to offer the world? As Jesus's followers, we do, and this book shows the way. A dangerous and revolutionary philosophy is responsible for the street fires in America. It fuels the actions of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. It invades curricula in public schools and in our military. It is in our churches. You have heard the phrase “white privilege,” the need for “safe spaces” on campuses, and perhaps the tongue-twister “intersectionality.” Behind all of these is an ideology called critical theory, which is a form of cultural Marxism that divides society into the oppressed and the oppressors. It claims that America is “systemically racist” and founded on slavery. It believes that the voices of minorities should trump the perspective of dominant culture. Unfortunately, this flawed perspective is overtaking our culture and infiltrating many of our churches. In this book, we consider the importance of critical theory, explain its origins, question its aims, and subject it to a logical critique. Listeners will -Gain a better understanding of critical theory; -See how it is permeating many aspects of society; -Discover how it opposes a Christian worldview; -Learn how to counter it constructively. A biblical alternative to matters of justice and politics is available, one that is right and true, one based on the ideals of the American founding. Find it in these pages."

    Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? 
     
     
      
    In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. 
     
     
      
    In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job?

    In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need. 
     
     
     
    Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from nineteenth century imperial feminists and police officers to twentieth century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today's anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist. 
     
     
     
    At once a left transfeminist battle cry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.
