  The Laws and the Land - The...

  As the settler state of Canada expanded into Indigenous lands, settlers dispossessed Indigenous people and undermined their sovereignty as nations. One site of invasion was Kahnawà:ke, a Kanien’kehá:ka community and part of the Rotinonhsiónni confederacy. The Laws and the Land delineates the establishment of a settler colonial relationship from early contact ways of sharing land; land practices under Kahnawà:ke law; the establishment of modern Kahnawà:ke in the context of French imperial claims; intensifying colonial invasions under British rule; and ultimately the Canadian invasion in the guise of the Indian Act, private property, and coercive pressure to assimilate. What Daniel Rück describes is an invasion spearheaded by bureaucrats, Indian agents, politicians, surveyors, and entrepreneurs.This original, meticulously researched book is deeply connected to larger issues of human relations with environments, communal and individual ways of relating to land, legal pluralism, historical racism and inequality, and Indigenous resurgence.

  Our Woman in Havana - A...

  After the United States embassy in Havana was closed in 1961, relations between the countries broke off. A thaw came in 1977 with the opening of a de facto embassy in Havana, the United States Interests Section—where Vicki Huddleston would serve under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. 
   
   
    
  In her memoir of a diplomat at work, she tells gripping stories of face-to-face encounters with Fidel Castro and the initiatives she undertook, like the transistor radios she furnished to ordinary Cubans. Along with inside accounts of dramatic episodes such as the Elián González custody battle, Huddleston also evokes the charm of the island country and her affection for the Cuban people. 
   
   
    
  Uniquely qualified to explain the inner workings of United States-Cuba relations, Huddleston examines the Obama administration's diplomatic opening of 2014, the mysterious "sonic" brain and hearing injuries suffered by United States and Canadian diplomats serving in Havana, and the rescinding of the diplomatic opening under the Trump administration. She recounts missed opportunities for détente, and the myths, misconceptions, and lies that have long pervaded United States-Cuba relations. Our Woman in Havana is essential for everyone interested in Cuba as well as policymakers and observers who study the stormy relationship with our near neighbor.

  The Open Conspiracy - Blueprints...

  H. G. Wells

  This version of The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution was published in 1928. Apparently Wells knew this would be a temporary version and would stop printing after a year or so. It was rewritten a couple of times between then and 1933 under various other subtitles. 
  The book is, in Wells' words, a "scheme to thrust forward and establish a human control over the destinies of life and liberate it from its present dangers, uncertainties and miseries. It proposes that largely as the result of scientific progress, a common vision of a world 'politically, socially and economically unified' is emerging among educated and influential people, and that this can be the basis of 'a world revolution aiming at universal peace, welfare and happy activity' that can result in the establishment of a 'world commonwealth'." 
  Chapter index: 
  Preface 
  I. "Necessity of Religion to Human Life" 
  II. "Subordination of Self the Essence of Religion" 
  III. "Need for a Restatement of Religion" 
  IV. "Objective Expression of Modern Religion" 
  V. "The Frame of the Task Before Mankind, the World Commonweal" 
  VI. "Broad Characteristics of the World Commonweal" 
  VII. "No Stable Utopia Is Contemplated" 
  VIII. "The Open Conspiracy Must Be Heterogeneous" 
  IX. "Forces and Resistances in the Great Modern Communities Now Prevalent, Which Will Be Antagonistic to the Open Conspiracy" 
  X. "The Open Conspiracy and the Resistances of the Less Industrialised Peoples" 
  XI. "Resistances and Antagonistic Forces in Ourselves" 
  XII. "The Open Conspiracy Must Begin as a Movement of Explanation and Propaganda" 
  XIII. "Early Constructive Work of the Open Conspiracy" 
  XIV. "Existing and Developing Movements with Which the Open Conspiracy May Hope to Coalesce" 
  XV. "The Creative Home, Social Group and School: The Present Waste of Youthful Seriousness"
