  The Korean Famine of 1950-1953 -...

  Before the Korean War and the subsequent famine that gripped the Korean Peninsula from 1950 to 1953, Korea was a land marked by centuries of history, cultural development, and foreign influence. In the early 20th century, the Korean people were under the harsh rule of Japanese colonialism, which lasted from 1910 to 1945. During this period, the Japanese occupation had devastating effects on the Korean economy, agriculture, and society. The Japanese implemented policies that restructured the land distribution system, forced farmers to increase rice production for export, and destroyed much of the local economy in the process. This left the Korean Peninsula struggling with a weakened agricultural system and an economy dependent on Japan. 
  After Japan’s defeat in World War II, Korea was liberated in 1945. However, this newfound freedom came with its own set of challenges. The peninsula was divided along the 38th parallel into two zones of occupation, with the Soviet Union controlling the north and the United States occupying the south. This division set the stage for the creation of two separate Korean states: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) in the north, and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) in the south. Both nations had vastly different political systems, economies, and ideologies, leading to a growing tension between the two that would ultimately culminate in the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. 
  In the years leading up to the war, both North and South Korea were in a fragile state. The land was still reeling from the effects of the Japanese occupation, and the infrastructure was damaged and underdeveloped. The North, under the leadership of Kim Il-sung, began implementing communist policies and land reforms that were intended to restructure the economy. Meanwhile, the South, under the leadership of Syngman Rhee, leaned toward a more capitalist and democratic system.

  Since independence, Algeria has been ruled by Generals who have kept the country in a state of civil war and misery. But how does this power function and endure? Arrested and tortured in Algeria for setting up a free student union in the 1980s, accused of Islamism and frequently harassed ever since, Lyes Laribi has come into close contact with Military Security, Algeria’s political police force.
  The author traces the history of the internal quarrels between General Zeroual's clan and General Nezzar's—coups d'état, economic schemes, political crimes spanning from 1962 to 1999. Now, Lyes Laribi reveals that behind the government of the current president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, lies a third clan of Generals, an extension of these corrupt cliques.
  This courageous investigation by the author of Dans les geôles de Nezzar is an original and passionate critique of Algeria's recent history. An invitation to give back to the Algerian people the trust and voice confiscated from them.

  All Our Trials - Prisons...

  During the 1970s, grassroots women activists in and outside of prisons forged a radical politics against gender violence and incarceration. Emily L. Thuma traces the making of this anticarceral feminism at the intersections of struggles for racial and economic justice, prisoners' and psychiatric patients' rights, and gender and sexual liberation. 
   
   
   
  All Our Trials explores the organizing, ideas, and influence of those who placed criminalized and marginalized women at the heart of their antiviolence mobilizations. This activism confronted a "tough on crime" political agenda and clashed with the mainstream women's movement's strategy of resorting to the criminal legal system as a solution to sexual and domestic violence. Drawing on extensive archival research and first-person narratives, Thuma weaves together the stories of mass defense campaigns, prisoner uprisings, broad-based local coalitions, national gatherings, and radical print cultures that cut through prison walls. In the process, she illuminates a crucial chapter in an unfinished struggle—one that continues in today's movements against mass incarceration and in support of transformative justice.

  How to Destroy America in Three...

  A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 
  A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it’s taken us 250 years to build—and they’ll start by canceling our shared history, ideals, and culture. 
  Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can’t agree on what makes America special. We can’t even agree that America is special. We’re coming to the point that we can’t even agree what the word America itself means. “Disintegrationists” say we’re stronger together, but their assault on America’s history, philosophy, and culture will only tear us apart. 
  Who are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times’ 1619 project, many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American philosophy as a lie – beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system. They see America’s culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals. 
  Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government.  
  This twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional “unionist” understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals. 
  How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself—to be unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don’t recover these shared truths, our future—our union—as a great country is threatened with destruction.
