Beschreibung

In "The New Democracy: A Handbook for Democratic Speakers and Workers," Walter Vrooman presents an astute analysis of democratic ideals and their practical applications in the 20th century. The book serves as both a guide and a manifesto, encouraging active participation and eloquence among advocates of democracy. Vrooman employs a clear and persuasive literary style, interweaving historical context with contemporary political concerns, making the work pivotal for those seeking to understand the dynamics of democratic engagement during a transformative period in American history. Walter Vrooman was deeply influenced by the sociopolitical changes of his time, including the rise of Progressive movements and labor activism. His commitment to social justice and community empowerment is evident throughout the text. Vrooman's professional background in education and social reform furnished him with firsthand insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by ordinary citizens in the pursuit of democratic ideals. His experiences undoubtedly shaped his vision of a more inclusive and participatory democracy. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the foundations of democratic practice and rhetoric. Vrooman's accessible yet insightful approach not only equips speakers and activists with vital tools for advocacy but also inspires a renewed commitment to the democratic process, making it an essential read for both scholars and practitioners alike.

    In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need. 
     
     
     
    Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from nineteenth century imperial feminists and police officers to twentieth century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today's anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist. 
     
     
     
    At once a left transfeminist battle cry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.

    Political philosophy plays a central role in the development of societies, offering profound insights into the principles and ideas that shape governance and human relations. At its core, political philosophy seeks to understand the fundamental questions of power, authority, justice, and the rights of individuals within a collective. By examining these issues, political philosophy provides a framework for interpreting and evaluating the structures that govern our lives, from the most intimate social arrangements to the global political order. It is through political philosophy that we come to grips with the nature of justice, equality, freedom, and the role of the state in promoting the common good. 
    In every society, political philosophy serves as a critical lens for understanding the legitimacy of authority and the relationship between the individual and the state. Whether through the ideas of ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle or the modern theorists such as Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, the study of political philosophy allows us to explore the moral and practical foundations of governance. These thinkers sought answers to questions that remain relevant today: What is the rightful role of the government? What are the limits of state power? How can societies balance the competing interests of freedom, equality, and social order? 
    Moreover, political philosophy is essential for the functioning of a healthy democracy. By engaging with political ideas and questioning the established norms, political philosophers encourage critical thinking and the evaluation of political systems. They provide the intellectual tools for assessing the values that underlie our laws, policies, and political institutions. Political philosophy also serves as a guide for navigating complex moral dilemmas in governance, offering insights into how we can create a just society where the rights of individuals are respected while promoting the collective well-being.

    Primordial American Terrorists is a new interpretation of events leading to the end of legalized slavery in the United States. Along the way, it reveals the duality of the terrorist persona, a profile the author pioneered in his earlier book, Sofia Perovskaya, Terrorist Princess. It tells the story, not only of terrorists who struck savagely out of intense passion for a cause, but also of their direct comparison with equally passionate men and women who dedicated themselves to social justice through advocacy and other non-violent methods.

    This is a guidebook on world control and management, a program that Wells believed should be orchestrated (and would be successful) through what he called the "Open Conspiracy". This conspiracy is fully outlined in this work and is designed to be run by many separate organizations working together, as opposed to being run by just one group. Is this required reading for the world's most powerful people? Maybe it is. Or maybe it should be. Wells was a visionary and genius whose work should be paid attention to. Chapters include The Idea of the Open Conspiracy, We Have to Clear and Clean Up Our Minds, The Revolution in Education, Religion in the New World, What Mankind Has to Do, Modern Forces Antagonistic to the Open Conspiracy, The Resistances of the Less Industrialized Peoples to the Drive of the Open Conspiracy, The Open Conspiracy Begins as a Movement of Discussion, Explanation and Propaganda, Development of the Activities of the Open Conspiracy, Human Life in the Coming World Community, and more.

    "Phenomenal . . . Offers us possibilities for rescuing the concept of democracy from its fatal entanglement with racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism." —Angela Y. Davis 
     
     
     
    "A compelling and inspiring book that belongs in our movements and our classrooms." —Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders 
     
     
     
    Become Ungovernable is a provocative new work of political thought setting out to reclaim "freedom", "justice", and "democracy", revolutionary ideas that are all too often warped in the interests of capital and the state. Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H. L. T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics. 
     
     
     
    With each chapter anchored by episodes from the long history of resistance and rebellions against tyranny, Quan calls for us to take up a feminist ethic of living rooted in the principles of radical inclusion, mutuality, and friendship as part of the larger toolkit for confronting fascism, white supremacy, and the neoliberal labor regime.
