Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Yates, John (illustratore). Second Edition. 162 Pages Indexed. First published by Arbeiter Ring Publishing. Inked notes on front endpaper and some inked underlining to the first 29 pages. No other defects noted to this otherwise as new book and the remaining interior text pages are flawless. The author argues that while the ideology of nonviolent political action promises that the harsh realities of state power can be transcended through good feelings and purity of purpose, it is in fact a counter-revolutionary movement that defends and reinforces the same status-quo it claims to oppose. Churchill debunks the claims of historical pacifist victories, and proposes ways to diminish much of the delusion, aroma of racism, and sense of privilege which mark the covert self-defeatism of mainstream dissident politics. An important intervention, intended to generate badly-needed debate about this issue in the progressive community. Contents: Preface to the 2007 Edition, Preface to the 1998 Edition, Introduction, Pacifism as Pathology Notes on an American Psuedopraxis by Ward Churchill, and On Ward Churchill's Pacifism as Pathology Toward a revolutionary Practice by Mike Ryan.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'Cancel' or 'call-out' culture is a source of much tension and debate in American society. The infamous 'Harper's Letter,' signed by public intellectuals of both the left and right, sought to settle the matter and only caused greater division. Originating as a way for marginalised and disempowered people to take down more powerful abusers, often with the help of social media, cancel culture is seen by some as having gone 'too far.' adrienne maree brown, a respected cultural voice and a professional mediator, reframes the discussion for us, in a way that points to possible ways beyond the impasse.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this brilliant and hilarious political novella, Leslie Kaplan imagines a series of unconnected crimes occurring throughout France. In each, a subordinate kills someone in a superior position over them - typically with an object used in their work, be it wiring in an auto shop, a huge sack of coffee, or a blackboard eraser. While these acts (no explanation is ever given by the criminals) clearly have a class-related character, the media and public figures are loathe to admit that class struggle still exists. Their denial of reality creates another thread in this joyful, dark satire: the fumbling of experts who mobilise theory after theory in order to analyse what is happening without admitting that the events could have any political content. A fable of political violence taken from today's headlines. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Anarcho-Blackness seeks to define the shape of a Black anarchism. Classical anarchism tended to avoid questions of race - specifically Blackness - as well as the intersections of race and gender. Bey addresses this lack, not by constructing a new cannon of Black anarchists but by outlining how anarchism and Blackness already share a certain subjective relationship to power, a way of understanding and inhabiting the world. Through the lens of Black feminist and transgender theory, he explores what we can learn by making this kinship explicit, including how anarchism itself is transformed by the encounter. If the state is predicated on a racialised and gendered capitalism, its undoing can only be imagined and undertaken by a political theory that takes race and gender seriously. What Black liberation and anarchism have in common, and what they can offer each other. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Abolition of Prison provides a reflection from a longtime prison abolitionist, psychoanalyst, and former prisoner on the history, theory, and practice of anti-prison activism in France and globally over the last fifty years. This book powerfully makes the case for the end of prisons, punishment, and guilt and, instead, suggests we work towards social change, care, collectivity. The book weaves together Lesage de la Haye's own experiences - in prison, as a psychiatrist, and as a social theorist - with the simple argument that, if we take the reasons for prison and punishment at their word, we must evaluate the system as a complete failure. So then why continue to support it and funnel money into it? A $50 billion dollar industry that cages one out of three Black men? End it now!

Includes the essays 'The Opposite of Rape Culture Is Nurturance Culture,' 'On Gaslighting,' and 'Own, Apologize, Repair,' as well as conversations with Serena Bhandar, Ruby Smith Diaz, Aravinda Ananda, Natalie Knight, and Alix Johnson.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Gang Politics, Kristian Williams examines our society's understanding of social and political violence, what gets romanticised, misunderstood, or muddled. He explores the complex intersections between 'gangs' of all sorts - cops and criminals, Proud Boys and Antifa, Panthers and skinheads - arguing that government and criminality are intimately related, often sharing critical features. As society becomes more polarised and conflict more common, Williams's analysis is a crucial corrective to our usual ideas about the role violence might or should play in our social struggles.
