    How to reclaim power in a time of perpetual crisis 
     
     
     
    We are living through a Long Emergency: a near-continuous train of pandemics, heatwaves, droughts, resource wars, and other climate-driven disasters. In Lifehouse, Adam Greenfield asks what might happen if the tactics and networks of care that spring up in response to these times might be brought together in a single, coherent way of life? 
     
     
     
    Using examples from the Black Panthers' "survival programs," the astonishingly effective Occupy Sandy disaster-relief effort, and the neighborhood-based mutual aid groups that sustained many during COVID lockdowns to the large-scale, self-organized polities of municipalist Spain and Kurdish Rojava, Greenfield argues for rethinking local power as a bulwark against despair—a way to discover and develop the individual and collective capacities that have gone underutilized during all the long years of late capitalism, and a means for thriving in the face of impending catastrophe.

  • Flowers Guns and Money - Joel Roberts Poinsett and the Paradoxes of American Patriotism - cover

    Flowers Guns and Money - Joel...

    A fascinating historical account of a largely forgotten statesman, who pioneered a form of patriotism that left an indelible mark on the early United States. 
     
    Joel Roberts Poinsett’s (1779–1851) brand of self-interested patriotism illuminates the paradoxes of the antebellum United States. He was a South Carolina investor and enslaver, a confidant of Andrew Jackson, and a secret agent in South America who fought surreptitiously in Chile’s War for Independence. He was an ambitious Congressman and Secretary of War who oversaw the ignominy of the Trail of Tears and orchestrated America’s longest and costliest war against Native Americans, yet also helped found the Smithsonian. In addition, he was a naturalist, after whom the poinsettia—which he appropriated while he was serving as the first US ambassador to Mexico—is now named. 
      
    As Lindsay Schakenbach Regele shows in Flowers, Guns, and Money, Poinsett personified a type of patriotism that emerged following the American Revolution, one in which statesmen served the nation by serving themselves, securing economic prosperity and military security while often prioritizing their own ambitions and financial interests. Whether waging war, opposing states’ rights yet supporting slavery, or pushing for agricultural and infrastructural improvements in his native South Carolina, Poinsett consistently acted in his own self-interest. By examining the man and his actions, Schakenbach Regele reveals an America defined by opportunity and violence, freedom and slavery, and nationalism and self-interest.

    “Offers hope in the face of desperate odds” – ELLE Magazine, ELLE’s Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2020 
    “[D]isturbing and unforgettable memoir…This wrenching story brings to vivid life the plight of the many families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.” – Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED REVIEW 
    “[The] haunting and eloquent…narrative of a Guatemalan woman's desperate search for a better life."" -Kirkus, STARRED Review 
     
    Compelling and urgently important, The Book of Rosy is the unforgettable story of one brave mother and her fight to save her family.  
    When Rosayra “Rosy” Pablo Cruz made the agonizing decision to seek asylum in the United States with two of her children, she knew the journey would be arduous, dangerous, and quite possibly deadly. But she had no choice: violence—from gangs, from crime, from spiraling chaos—was making daily life hell. Rosy knew her family’s one chance at survival was to flee Guatemala and go north. 
    After a brutal journey that left them dehydrated, exhausted, and nearly starved, Rosy and her two little boys arrived at the Arizona border. Almost immediately they were seized and forcibly separated by government officials under the Department of Homeland Security’s new “zero tolerance” policy. To her horror Rosy discovered that her flight to safety had only just begun. 
    In The Book of Rosy, with an unprecedented level of sharp detail and soulful intimacy, Rosy tells her story, aided by Julie Schwietert Collazo, founder of Immigrant Families Together, the grassroots organization that reunites mothers and children. She reveals the cruelty of the detention facilities, the excruciating pain of feeling her children ripped from her arms, the abiding faith that staved off despair—and the enduring friendship with Julie, which helped her navigate the darkness and the bottomless Orwellian bureaucracy. 
    A gripping account of the human cost of inhumane policies, The Book of Rosy is also a paean to the unbreakable will of people united by true love, a sense of justice, and hope for a better future.

  • Anthropology - Understanding Human Evolution and Cultural Development - cover

    Anthropology - Understanding...

    Anthropology is the holistic study of humanity, examining human origins, cultural development, social structures, language, and biological evolution. It seeks to understand what it means to be human by analyzing the past, studying present societies, and considering future changes. Unlike other disciplines that focus on a single aspect of human life, anthropology integrates multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of human existence. 
    The field of anthropology is traditionally divided into four main branches: biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. Biological anthropology focuses on human evolution, genetics, and physical adaptation, comparing humans to primates and studying fossil records to understand the biological roots of our species. Cultural anthropology examines the customs, beliefs, and social institutions of different societies, exploring how culture shapes human behavior and interactions. Linguistic anthropology investigates the role of language in human communication, social identity, and cultural transmission. Archaeology studies past human civilizations through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and environmental data, providing insight into how societies developed over time. 
    A key principle of anthropology is cultural relativism, which emphasizes understanding cultures within their own context rather than judging them by external standards. This contrasts with ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture is superior to others. By adopting cultural relativism, anthropologists aim to promote a deeper appreciation for human diversity and challenge stereotypes and biases. Fieldwork, often involving ethnographic research, is a fundamental method in anthropology.
