  In this provocative and captivating dialogue, bell hooks and Cornel West come together to discuss the dilemmas, contradictions, and joys of Black intellectual life. The two friends and comrades in struggle talk, argue, and disagree about everything from community to capitalism in a series of intimate conversations that range from playful to probing to revelatory. In evoking the act of breaking bread, the book calls upon the various traditions of sharing that take place in domestic, secular, and sacred life where people come together to give themselves, to nurture life, to renew their spirits, sustain their hopes, and to make a lived politics of revolutionary struggle an ongoing practice.

  A Weaponised Field Guide to...

  Being right doesn't mean you're going to win. This is why. 
  You've been here before. You make a solid point, logically sound, only to watch the conversation get hijacked. Suddenly, you're defending against a ridiculous exaggeration, a personal jab, or clever-sounding nonsense that has nothing to do with what you said. You get frustrated, derailed, and defeated-even though you know you're correct. You know you're right-so why do you keep losing the argument? 
  In real life, victory often goes not to the most logical, but to those who master cheap shots, clever distractions, and emotional mind games. You don't have to put up with it, and this book will tell you how. The tricks are supplemented with how they work, how to defend against them, and other useful information. Having it laid out clearly like this is the perfect armour to stop people derailing you. 
  This book is your street-smart field guide to that messy reality. Whether you're up against a bully in a meeting, a troll online, or just someone who argues in bad faith, you'll know their game before they even start. Learn to identify tactics like "Changing the Topic," "Emotional Manipulation," and "Philosophical Tricks." Call out the nonsense, stay on point, and turn cheap moves against your opponent. Inside, you'll find a practical toolkit of nine key defenses to keep your cool and control any conversation-whether in a boardroom, online, or at the dinner table. 
  This isn't about becoming a manipulator. It's about becoming inoculation-proof. Beyond 38 classic tactics, enrich your understanding with appendices on cognitive biases, logical fallacies, and Schopenhauer's essays on the brutal difference between logic (the search for truth) and eristic dialectic (the art of winning). Whether you're preparing for a formal debate, navigating a high-stakes negotiation, or simply tired of losing personal conversations to underhanded tactics, this guide is your essential armour. 
  Stop just being right. Start winning.

  The 61 poems here concentrate on some of the most traumatic events in Black history from colonial to contemporary times, from the arrival of enslaved Africans in 1619 to Black revolts, Civil War atrocities, incalculable lynchings, the Tulsa massacre, the brave sacrifices of Rosa Parks, the Freedom Riders, the heroes of school desegregation, the murders of Emmett Till, Dr. King, Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, and Tyre Nichols. And so many other Black tragedies. Each poem here carries a brief head note identifying the person, place, time, or event that addresses the historical context of the poem. Some poems are written in a his/her recollection of the historical event. Above all, each poem highlights the topography of Black trauma, be that a Civil War fort, a lynching tree, a prison, a school, an island, a ghetto, a river, a national monument, a church, or city street. These resistance poems are chronicles, laments, petitions, heroic recollections about racial attacks on Black people in America.

  The Capitalist Economy and its...

  Gerhard H. Wächter

  Notwithstanding its ruthless dynamics, the capitalist economy has the flaw of deficient employment-generating spending. This leads to unemployment of non-owners, individual suffering, social unrest and it undermines military strength. To deal with these issues, states use prosthetic policies, artificial transfers to the productive economy and to non-owners. But the funding of such prosthetic policies - through violent wealth appropriation abroad, protectionism, war, domestic expropriation and taxation, debt and money creation - is caught in dilemmas, while politicians are caught between non-solutions. According to Gerhard H. Wächter, the history of capitalist society is largely the history of this dilemmatic brotherhood.
