  How To Fix Northern Ireland

  In this thought-provoking and engaging book, Malachi O'Doherty argues that division in Northern Ireland is fundamentally not about whether the country should be governed as part of Ireland or as part of Britain - as presumed by the Good Friday Agreement - but rather is entirely sectarian, an inter-ethnic stress comparable to racism. 
  Part memoir, part history and part polemic, How to Fix Northern Ireland shows how the split between catholics and protestants infests everyday life - from education and segregated housing, from street protests, bonfires and parades to the high politics of power sharing and Brexit - and asks what can be done to solve a centuries-old social rift and heal the relationship at the heart of the problem.

  Despite reform efforts that have grown in scope and intensity over the last two decades, the machine of American mass incarceration continues to flourish. In this powerful polemic, formerly incarcerated activist, essayist, and organizer Emile Suotonye DeWeaver argues that the root of the problem is white supremacy. 
   
   
   
  During his twenty-one years in prison, DeWeaver covertly organized to pass legislation impacting juveniles in California's criminal legal system; was a culture writer for Easy Street Magazine; and cofounded Prison Renaissance, an organization centering incarcerated voices and incarcerated leadership. DeWeaver draws on these experiences to interrogate the central premise of reform efforts, including prisoner rehabilitation programs, arguing that they demand self-abnegation, entrench white supremacy, and ignore the role of structural oppression. 
   
   
   
  With lucid, urgent prose, DeWeaver intervenes in contemporary debates on criminal justice and racial justice efforts with his eye-opening discussion of the tools we need to end white supremacy—both within and outside the carceral setting. For readers of Mariame Kaba, Susan Burton, and Derecka Purnell, Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine adds a sharp and unique perspective to the growing discourse on racial justice, incarceration, and abolition.

  The *Simple Sabotage Field Manual*, created in 1944 by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), is a unique World War II-era document that provides guidance on simple methods of sabotage. Originally intended for citizens in enemy-occupied territories, it describes easy-to-execute tactics for disrupting enemy operations without special tools or skills. The manual covers areas such as industrial sabotage, transportation interference, and general workplace disruption, encouraging small acts like misplacing tools, giving incorrect directions, or insisting on unnecessary bureaucracy to lower productivity and morale. Emphasizing the power of collective minor disruptions, this field manual offers a fascinating look at unconventional resistance strategies and reflects the ingenuity of wartime intelligence efforts. Now in the public domain, it serves as a historical document on guerrilla tactics and psychological warfare.

  Radical Antiquity - Free Love...

  When you think of Ancient Greece and Rome, what do you see? The Acropolis and the Colosseum? Perhaps the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle and the rule of the Caesars? Or the birth of democracy and the vast reach of an empire? This well-trodden history of great thinkers, military leaders, and early state formation in the classical world still enthralls us, but it tells only half the story . . . 
   
  How democratic was Athenian democracy? How much power did states wield beyond their city walls? And who looked upon the systems of domination that prevailed and sought to create something different? 
  Radical Antiquity takes you on a unique journey in search of anarchy, statelessness, and social experimentation in the Graeco-Roman world. Sweeping across the Mediterranean from the time of the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE until the emergence of Islam in 610 CE, Christopher B. Zeichmann introduces the listener to communities of escaped enslaved people, pirates, and religious sects—all of whom sought a more egalitarian way of life that avoided the coercion, hierarchy, and exploitation of the state. This history from below brings the experiences of ordinary and marginal people out of obscurity and radically expands our understanding of social and political life in the classical world.

  Gordon Menzies was in the room as bankers, economists and Cabinet members deregulated Australia’s economy. And he was personally shaped by a greater, cultural, deregulation — the sexual revolution. Menzies argues that both changes are part of the same hard-line movement: Western Fundamentalism. As our economies and families are in flux, it’s time to question the assumptions that got us here.  
  Are you prepared to challenge your fundamentals?
