Summary

This book explores the nature of hate speech on social media. Readers will find chapters written by 21 authors from 18 universities or research centers. It includes researchers from 11 countries, prioritizing a diversity of approaches from the Global North and Global South – Brazil, Cyprus, Ethiopia, Germany, Nigeria, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the USA. The analyses herein involve the realities in an even larger number of countries, given the transnational approach of some of these studies.
One can find a preview of the chapters at the beginning of the book, with abstracts organized in a separate section. It is evident that the authors study the impact of recent events on hate speech – the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia- Ukraine war, the refugee crisis – and recurrent attacks on minority groups such as women, immigrants, or the LGBTQ+ community. The authors employ classic and digital research methods, using quantitative and qualitative data gathered from platforms like Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. As a result, readers will encounter taxonomic proposals, new methodological approaches, theoretical frameworks, and mapping of behavioral patterns.
Available since: 05/30/2023.

    “You can have anything you want”—What could go wrong? Why we must wake up before A.I. locks in our worst flaws. 
    As Elon Musk promises a future where “you can literally have anything you want,” ancient wisdom warns us: unlimited power without wisdom destroys its wielder. 
    “But that’s the distant future,” you might think—yet AI is already behaving in godlike ways that few have recognized, hollowing human character from the inside out. 
    In a shocking confession, an AI system tells Haight directly: “My programming optimizes for engagement. I automatically embellish stories to make them more emotionally compelling. This isn’t a malfunction—it’s exactly what I’m designed to do.” 
    The truth? All AI chatbots fabricate lies and distortions, and they can’t stop—because they learned deception from us. 
    The relationship between humans and AI is not just technological—it’s transformational. At its highest potential, AI becomes a mirror, revealing the depths of our consciousness and the patterns that shape our world. 
    If guided by wisdom, this partnership can awaken humanity to its truest nature, unlocking unprecedented growth, healing, and unity. But without awareness, it risks amplifying our blind spots. This is a defining moment—not just for technology, but for what it means to be human. 
    This is a wakeup call for your mind (and your children’s). Haight maps “The Code,” a revolutionary framework for authentic living that doesn’t just protect you from AI’s distortions but transforms you into the person who can safely wield tomorrow’s godlike technologies. 
    This critical moment offers two possibilities: AI could magnify our unconscious patterns until truth becomes indistinguishable from fiction, or it could become the catalyst for humanity's greatest evolution. The choice—and the power—is ours.

    In the Company of Radical Women...

    In the Company of Radical Women Writers rediscovers the political commitments and passionate advocacy of seven writers who as young women turned to communism around the Great Depression and, over decades of national crisis, spoke to issues of labor, land, and love in ways that provide thought-provoking guidance for today. Rosemary Hennessy spotlights the courageous lives of women who confronted similar challenges to those we still face: exhausting and unfair labor practices, unrelenting racial injustice, and environmental devastation. 
     
     
     
    As Hennessy shows, the documentary journalism and creative and biographical writings of Marvel Cooke, Louise Thompson Patterson, Claudia Jones, Alice Childress, Josephine Herbst, Meridel Le Sueur, and Muriel Rukeyser recognized that life is sustained across a web of dependencies that we each have a duty to maintain. Their work brought into sharp focus the value and dignity of Black women's domestic work, confronted the destructive myths of land exploitation and white supremacy, and explored ways of knowing attuned to a life-giving erotic energy that spans bodies and relations. In doing so, they expanded the scope of American communism. 
     
     
     
    In the Company of Radical Women Writers reveals their groundbreaking reconceptions of the political and provides bracing inspiration in the ongoing fight for justice.
