Solidarity - Latin America and the US Left in the Era of Human Rights

Steve Striffler

Beschreibung

How and why has solidarity changed over time? Why have particular strategies, tactics, and strands of internationalism emerged or re-emerged at particular moments? And how has solidarity shaped the history of the US left in particular?

In Solidarity, Steve Striffler addresses these key questions, offering the first history of US-Latin American solidarity from the Haitian Revolution to the present day. Striffler traces the history of internationalism through the Cold War, exploring the rise of human rights as the dominant current of international solidarity. He also considers the limitations of a solidarity movement today that inherited its organisational infrastructure from the human rights movements.

Moving beyond conventionally ahistorical analyses of solidarity, here Striffler provides a distinctive intervention in the history of progressive politics in both the US and Latin America, the past and present of US imperialism and anti-imperialism, and the history of human rights and labour internationalism.

As Many Reps As Possible -...

Jason Khalipa

Jason Khalipa's actions and accomplishments speak for themselves: devoted father, world champion, global businessman. After years of rigorous training, Jason earned the title of Fittest Man on Earth and finished first in the 2008 CrossFit Games. Hard work and insatiable drive paid off, and his company, NCFIT, grew to success. Jason thought he had overcome insurmountable obstacles throughout his career, but nothing prepared him for the moment when his daughter, Ava, was diagnosed with leukemia. Tasked with facing what no parent should have to confront, he had two choices: succumb to overwhelming anger, or jump headfirst into the fight. He chose the latter.
In his first book, As Many Reps As Possible (AMRAP), Jason reveals the invaluable principles that helped him and his wife dedicate every minute of their lives to Ava's battle. The backbone of Jason's success is a simple and accessible process that, with dedication, will help you take control of life, harness your true potential, and triumph in every way. Borrowing from the fitness idea of completing as many reps as possible of an exercise in a given time period, Jason developed The AMRAP Mentality, a proven system that will help you discover your why, focus on what you can control, work hard, and ultimately blow past your goals. With clear insight, personal anecdotes, and directed reader exercises, this book will help you get where you're going, wherever that may be. Be prepared to dream big, dig in your heels, roll up your sleeves, and get to work.
The AMRAP Mentality is here. Life is waiting for you.

The Entrepreneur's Growth...

David N. Feldman

The purpose of this book is to focus on what goes wrong in  entrepreneurship  what business owners regret and what one  can do to address these laments. The book will  commence with an overview of the personality traits and qualities  that make success in entrepreneurship more likely, and will then  turn to an examination of 7 key laments the author has experienced  and witnessed as an entrepreneur himself and as a corporate  attorney representing hundreds of entrepreneurs over his 26 year  legal career. This book will cover challenges from an  entrepreneurial viewpoint and approach the subject matter in a  casual, anecdotal manner much like the two, multi-part series on  the subject written by the author for Slate.com in 2009, which  inspired this book idea.  These 7 principal obstacles, as  previously stated, are focus, work/life, partners, employees,  financing, boredom, and burnout, can be featured at any level in  the entrepreneurial game, whether it be during the nerve-wrecking  start-up or in the disenchanted later stages when success does not  necessarily guarantee personal or professional contentment.   This book will be a comprehensive and accessible guide to handling  the often unforeseeable consequences of becoming an entrepreneur in  today and tomorrows economy.
