Calling My Deadname Home - Trans...

Avi Ben Zeev

In this extraordinarily compelling trans memoir, Avi, a bearish trans man and Psychology Professor, navigates sex and dating in a phallic-centric universe of men who love men. But something is missing. To become the man he aspires to be, he needs to reconnect with Talia, his hyper-feminine straight female past, and invite her back in.  Growing up in a working-class right-wing Israeli family and barely finishing high school, he became involved in pro-Palestinian activism and escaped compulsory military service by faking madness. Despite poor schooling Avi went on to attain a PhD from Yale and change his life entirely. This memoir is the story of that journey and explores what it means to come home to oneself with brutal honesty, humour, and self-compassion.  Told in three episodes, early transition, later transition and Talia's story, this memoir tackles contemporary gender and social issues. At its heart is a universal theme: to become who we already are, we must integrate the past into the present

The Classic of Filial Piety -...

Ivan Chen (translator)

For over two thousand years, this books has been the foundation of Chinese family life. Based on a series of conversations with Confucius, and supplemented by a series of story examples by an Emperor in the 11th Century, it is essential to understanding the nature and order of Chinese society. It speaks of how one should behave towards a senior such as one’s parents, elder brother or ruler, and the obligations that follow in the opposite direction. Written in 400BC, the Xiaojang is legendarily a dialogue between Confucius and Zeng Zi, a disciple who was well known for his filial piety.Since that time, it has been an essential tool of Chinese civilisation, often being the first book that Chinese children are given when they are able to read it. For Confucius and his disciples, family life is the foundation and cornerstone of society, and recognising the value and impact of family harmony on both the local and greater environments is crucial to stability and prosperity.SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESSThe Athenaeum.--"We wish that there were more of them; they are dreamy, lifelike, and fascinating."Pall Mall Gazette.--"No translation of this important work has been made since the beginning of the eighteenth century."Manchester Courier.--"Worthy of close study by all who would penetrate to the depth of Eastern thought and feeling."The Scotsman.--" should not fail to please readers of the more studious sort."Southport Guardian.--"will find considerable favour with all Students of Eastern Literature and Eastern Philosophy."Bristol Mercury.--"We commend these little books to all who imagine that there is no knowledge worth having outside Europe and America."Field.--"Such books are valuable aids to the understanding of a far-off age and people, and have a great interest for the student of literature."

The Ripple Effect - China's...

Enze Han

Many studies of China's relations with and influence on Southeast Asia tend to focus on how Beijing has used its power asymmetry to achieve regional influence. Yet, scholars and pundits often fail to appreciate the complexity of the contemporary Chinese state and society, and just how fragmented, decentralized, and internationalized China is today. 
 
 
 
In The Ripple Effect, Enze Han argues that a focus on the Chinese state alone is not sufficient for a comprehensive understanding of China's influence in Southeast Asia. Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China, such as private businesses and Chinese migrants. These actors affect people's perception of China in a variety of ways, and they often have wide-ranging as well as long-lasting effects on bilateral relations. Looking beyond the Chinese state's intentional influence reveals many situations that result in unanticipated changes in Southeast Asia. Han proposes that to understand this increasingly globalized China, we need more conceptual flexibility regarding which Chinese actors are important to China's relations, and how they wield this influence, whether intentional or not.

Revolutionary Algorithms - A...

Torey Akers

From an artist and TikTok creator, a critical look at the controversial app and its effect on cultural heritage, artificial intelligence, community organizing, and digital censorship. In Revolutionary Algorithms, Torey Akers approaches TikTok with a deep understanding of the app, as both a prolific creator and consumer of its content. In these essays, she interrogates how the TikTok ban and the multiple genocides happening around the world are deeply intertwined; how the app can empower creators, amplify social movements, and document abuses of power. She addresses the good, bad, and sometimes uncanny parts of maneuvering and communicating in a digital space.  As a new era of social media looms, Akers makes the case for techno-progressivism, looking toward a future where TikTok continues to connect, inspire, and create space for more intersectionality, equity, and joy.

Menexenus

Plato

"Menexenus" is a dialogue written by Plato in which Socrates delivers a funeral oration in honor of Athenian soldiers who have died in battle. The dialogue takes place between Socrates and Menexenus, a young man who has just returned from the funeral of his own father. In his oration, Socrates uses the occasion to criticize the way in which Athenian leaders often exploit the deaths of soldiers for their own political gain. He argues that true patriotism and heroism are not based on fame or glory, but on the love of one's country and fellow citizens. Overall, "Menexenus" is a thought-provoking exploration of rhetoric, patriotism, and political manipulation, making it a valuable addition to the philosophical literature of ancient Greece. Read in English, unabridged.
