Shadow Workers - Peronist Echoes

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In the heart of 20th-century Argentina, a political movement emerged that would forever change the nation's destiny: Peronism. This book delves into the intricate relationship between Peronism and the Argentine working class, shedding light on the movement's origins, its impact on labor, the economy, and society, and its enduring legacy.

Juan Perón, a charismatic military leader, ascended to power in 1946, promising a new era of social justice and economic prosperity. Peronism quickly gained traction among the working class, who were drawn to its populist message and its emphasis on workers' rights. Perón implemented a series of policies that transformed Argentina, including the nationalization of key industries, the expansion of social welfare programs, and the creation of a powerful labor union movement.

However, Peronism also had a darker side. Perón's government suppressed political dissent and used violence and intimidation to maintain control. The movement's close ties to organized crime and its authoritarian tendencies alienated many Argentines, leading to Perón's eventual overthrow in 1955.

Despite his fall from power, Perón's legacy continued to haunt Argentina. The Peronist movement remained a potent force in Argentine politics, and Perón himself returned to power in 1973. His second presidency was marked by economic instability and political violence, culminating in a military coup in 1976.

The military dictatorship that followed unleashed a wave of terror on Argentina, targeting suspected Peronists and other dissidents. Thousands of people were killed, disappeared, or tortured. The "Dirty War," as it became known, left a deep scar on the nation's psyche.

After the fall of the dictatorship in 1983, Peronism reemerged as a major political force. The Peronist Party has won several presidential elections since then, and its policies have continued to shape Argentina's economic, social, and political landscape.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of this complex and controversial movement, drawing on a variety of sources, including archival documents, interviews, and scholarly research. It provides a deeper understanding of Peronism's impact on Argentine society and its enduring legacy.

Abortion Pills Go Global -...

Dr. Sydney Calkin

A bold, unique look into the global self-managed abortion movement 
 
Abortion pills have made safe abortion possible for millions of people around the world, even in the most restrictive circumstances. Sydney Calkin illustrates the profound, transformative promise of these pills—which are safe, effective, and responsible for a sharp decline in maternal mortality. This timely book demonstrates that the widespread practice of self-managed medication abortion makes it more difficult for countries to enforce oppressive abortion laws and less willing to do so. 
 
Following these pills as they are manufactured and transported by feminist activists in nations from India to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland, and the United States, Calkin shows that their growing availability in places with restrictive laws means more people have access to self-managed healthcare. Abortion Pills Go Global looks ahead to see how the broader politics of abortion could shift in response to this global movement—one that looks not to laws for protection but to on-the-ground feminist mobilizations across borders.

The Beginning Comes After the...

Rebecca Solnit

Rebecca Solnit offers a thrilling account of the sheer breadth and scale of social, political, scientific, and cultural change over the past three quarters of a century. 
 
In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the year 1960. Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability. 
 
The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized. 
 
While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.

Breakneck - China's Quest to...

Dan Wang

For close to a decade, technology analyst Dan Wang―"a gifted observer of contemporary China" (Ross Douthat)―has been living through the country's astonishing, messy progress. China's towering bridges, gleaming railways, and sprawling factories have improved economic outcomes in record time. But rapid change has also sent ripples of pain throughout the society. This reality―political repression and astonishing growth―is not a paradox, but rather a feature of China's engineering mindset. 
 
 
 
In Breakneck, Wang blends political, economic, and philosophical analysis with reportage to reveal a new framework for understanding China―one that helps us see America more clearly, too. While China is an engineering state, relentlessly pursuing megaprojects, the United States has stalled. America has transformed into a lawyerly society, reflexively blocking everything, good and bad. 
 
 
 
Blending razor-sharp analysis with immersive storytelling, Wang offers a gripping portrait of a nation in flux. Breakneck traverses metropolises like Shanghai, Chongqing, and Shenzhen, where the engineering state has created not only dazzling infrastructure but also a sense of optimism. The book also exposes the downsides of social engineering, including the surveillance of ethnic minorities, political suppression, and the traumas of the one-child policy and zero-Covid.
