Summary

Political Art Conflicts delves into the intricate relationship between warfare and art, revealing how military actions have driven the looting, destruction, and manipulation of art for propaganda across history. The book explores the vulnerability of art during conflicts and the evolution of international laws intended to protect cultural property, laws often disregarded in wartime. It examines how art has been systematically stolen as spoils, deliberately destroyed as a tool for cultural erasure, and strategically used as propaganda to shape public opinion. The book is structured around these three central themes, drawing from historical archives, military records, and art historical analyses. Case studies span diverse periods and regions, including World War II and conflicts in the Middle East.

 
The book differentiates itself by focusing on the active role of art within conflicts, examining the specific political and military objectives that motivated the misuse or destruction of art. Written for a broad audience, Political Art Conflicts offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between military history, art history, and political science. The book progresses by first establishing the landscape of art and war and then diving into how art is looted, destroyed, and used as propaganda. It encourages readers to consider the enduring value of art as a reflection of human history and a vital component of cultural identity.

    A prescriptive on how to re-discover joy and live with it in our personal, professional, and creative lives, written by a top music executive who guided the careers of legendary hip-hop, R&B, and pop singers. In her thirty years working as a music industry executive at Island Def Jam and Jive Records, Grace Harry has lived her many creative lives at the intersection of music, art, and the passionate pursuit of joy—a long forgotten, but vital birthright. Many of us have no idea what joy truly is, and capturing it is often easier said than done. In The Joy Strategist, Grace takes readers on a journey to explore all dimensions of joy: how we find it, how we can re-discover it, and how we can incorporate it into our daily lives. Sometimes lighthearted and always real, The Joy Strategist shows readers how to break through creative or emotional ruts that keep them from tapping into their innate ability to feel true and unfettered joy. Grace coaches readers with meaningful autobiographical anecdotes and her toolbox of playful activities, which include: --Reconnecting with your “inner GPS,” the pilot light that guided you toward joyful experience without inhibition as a child. --Ceasing the war you’ve waged against your Heart and heal the wounds preventing you from giving and receiving love. -- Cultivating your “Starting Five,” or the community of people closest to you that will show up and support you on your journey, and how to best show up for them as well. --Breaking free from your Ego and dismantling the limiting beliefs that keep your deepest hopes and aspirations out of grasp. A mix of memoir, prescriptive self-help exercises, and cultural commentary on joy, The Joy Strategist will equip readers to define what exactly brings them joy so that they can live lives imbued with wonder, self-love, and creative abundance.

    For the past fifty years, the Palestinian question has served as a rallying cry in the struggle for migrant rights in postcolonial France, from the immigrant labor associations of the 1970s and Beur movements of the 1980s to the militant decolonial groups of the 2000s. In Natives against Nativism, Olivia C. Harrison explores the intersection of anticolonial solidarity and antiracist activism from the 1970s to the present. 
 
 
 
Natives against Nativism analyzes a wide range of texts—novels, memoirs, plays, films, and militant archives—that mobilize the twin figures of the Palestinian and the American Indian in a crossed critique of Eurocolonial modernity. Harrison argues that anticolonial solidarity with Palestinians and Indigenous Americans has been instrumental in developing a sophisticated critique of racism across imperial formations—in this case, France, the United States, and Israel. 
 
 
 
Serving as the first relational study of antiracism in France, Natives against Nativism observes how claims to indigeneity have been deployed in multiple directions, both in the ongoing struggle for migrant rights and racial justice, and in white nativist claims in France today.

    "I am Mathilde, alias Mathilda. I am 37 years old and I prostitute myself to be a free woman. I have been an executive assistant, a sales manager in media, a communication manager for an employers' confederation and a company director in business aviation. But I was a precarious woman, being used for a low price, like a great majority of women in France. In parallel to my work activities, I became an escort to get out of my social condition and not be a free and disposable object anymore. I have been leading this double life for 10 years in Lyon; and today men, but also women, respect me for what I am. I like this life and I embrace it fully."
Like 5% to 10% prostitutes in France (and certainly many more), Mathilde engages in this profession freely and without constraint, to no longer be the prey of males and a patriarchal society. Free, authentic and without pretense, she takes the reader on a journey of discovery of a profession that fascinates and that no one talks about in this way. With a provocative but always human tone, she reveals with strength and fragility her non-conformist universe and her atypical personality. From her family to her friends, from her lovers to her clients, from her jobs to her first trick, Mathilde shares her way of life openly because her reality does not need to be hidden.
