New.

Statues around the world have become lightning rods for public debates over the meaning of our imperial past and postcolonial present. The Psychic Lives of Statues is an insightful exploration of these global controversies, demonstrating that beneath their surface lie deeper struggles over race, caste and the politics of decolonisation.

Rahul Rao takes readers on an international journey, revealing how these controversies have dramatically rearranged anticolonial political thought through the multifaceted lenses of justice, cultural memory and belonging.

The Psychic Lives of Statues explores both the toppling of colonial statues and the er****on of postcolonial ones, illuminating how statues remain powerful and compelling forms of memorialisation. Engaging with artists, scholars and activists, Rao offers a fresh and exciting perspective on how we understand our past and present through iconography.

Housing is more than bricks and mortar. Feeling at Home grapples with the practical and emotional questions of housing – domestic labour, privacy, security, ownership, and health. Is it possible to imagine success without home ownership? Alva Gotby shows that solving the housing crisis is about much more than housing stock. It means revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.

Toen Amitav Ghosh onderzoek deed voor zijn romantrilogie over o***m was hem al duidelijk hoe die kleine plant, de papaverplant, de loop van de wereldgeschiedenis heeft beïnvloed. Na De vloek van de nootmuskaat is hij er opnieuw in gedoken en ontdekte hij dat zelfs zijn eigen identiteit en familiegeschiedenis onmiskenbaar verweven zijn met papaver. De handel in o***m werd opgezet door het Britse Rijk, maar ook de VOC verdiende haar geld ermee. Ghosh vindt o***m zelfs terug bij het ontstaan van enkele van de grootste bedrijven en machtigste families en prestigieuze instellingen ter wereld.

Rook en as is tegelijkertijd een reisverslag, een essay over kolonialisme, kapitalisme, drugs en verslaving en een traktaat over wie de macht heeft om de geschiedenis op te schrijven. Bovenal is het een verhaal over wortels, over hoe de wereld zoals we die kennen ontsproot aan die éne kleine plant, die in de handen van Ghosh bijna zelf een romanpersonage wordt.

New.

The national racial reckoning that began in 2020 promised to radically restructure American society from the bottom up. But five years on, it has mainly served to strengthen the ruling class and deliver the rich an opportunity to rehabilitate a profoundly unequal economic order precisely at a moment when the stability of the system and the public’s trust in it are drastically deteriorating.

Corporations have used antiracism to consolidate their political power and evade government regulation. Employers have surveilled and undermined workers through counterproductive diversity, equity, and inclusion trainings. Affluent professionals and Democratic politicians have exacerbated a stark class divide by pushing half-baked “racial equity” policies that come at the expense of the majority of working people. And the right has reacted to these developments by stoking a toxic culture war against “wokeness” that serves only as a distraction from the increasing economic hardship faced by Americans of all races.

Selling Social Justice investigates the rise and spread of contemporary antiracist ideology and shows how the rich came to embrace this particular form of justice. In this provocative and thoroughly researched account, Jennifer C. Pan explores why, in a twenty-first-century economy of increasing scarcity, antiracism is the wrong frame for understanding and fighting inequality.

"The Colors of the Parallel World” is a book by Belarusian political prisoner Mikola Dziadok, which tells of the harrowing conditions in Belarusian prisons and the struggle for human dignity in a place where humanity itself is forbidden. The author, Mikola Dziadok, was born in 1988 and, as an activist of the democratic movement, spent 10 years behind bars for his beliefs.

Part of the stories was written by Mikola while in captivity, and part after his release. A distinct section among the essays is occupied by Mikola Dziadok’s reflections on the nature of power relations in Ancient Greek myths, written based on what he read in the prison library. “The Colors of the Parallel World” reveals the true parallel world of the Belarusian prison system: with its evil and kindness, joy and betrayal, honesty and treachery. Horrifying stories are interspersed with uplifting episodes, and the abyss of inhumanity contrasts with lofty acts of the human spirit.

Elke dag brengt een nieuwe lading werk met zich mee, en een man werpt zich 's avonds laat in zijn bed zonder te hebben voltooid wat hij had verwacht te doen; dan haast hij zich 's morgens naar de onvoltooide taak van de vorige dag.

In this magisterial book, historian Sunil Amrith twins the stories of environment and Empire, of genocide and eco-cide, of an extraordinary expansion of human freedom and its planetary costs. Drawing on an extraordinarily rich diversity of primary sources, he reckons with the ruins of Portuguese silver mining in Peru, British gold mining in South Africa, and oil extraction in Central Asia. He explores the railroads and highways that brought humans to new terrains of battle against each other and against stubborn nature. Amrith’s account of the ways in which the First and Second World Wars involved the massive mobilization not only of men, but of other natural resources from around the globe, provides an essential new way of understanding war as an irreversible reshaping of the planet. So too does this book reveal the reality of migration as consequence of environmental harm. The imperial, globe-spanning pursuit of profit, joined with new forms of energy and new possibilities of freedom from hunger and discomfort, freedom to move and explore, has brought change to every inch of the Earth. Amrith relates in gorgeous prose, and on the largest canvas, a mind-altering epic — vibrant with stories, characters, and vivid images — in which humanity might find the collective wisdom to save itself.
