Ferguson's Despair and the Devastation of White Privilege All day people gathered, waiting, daring to hope, that maybe this time black lives would matter. Minutes passed. Then hours. And, as darkness descended on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, the now enormous crowd continued to wait patiently -- trying its best to remain optimistic. Perhaps, despite so many decades of history, black people really could find justice in the American legal system. That such a faith still flickered was, itself, remarkable.
But having faith and clinging to hope is what it means to be human. And then they don't. At 9:00 p.m. on November 24, 2014, St. Hope then became despair. And yet too many Americans -- overwhelmingly white Americans -- didn't remotely recognize, let alone understand, Ferguson's despair. And, when even these military measures couldn't keep people from expressing their grief, and indeed only deepened their misery, these same white Americans began the shaming process. Dr. Three Californias Trilogy. The Three Californias Trilogy (also known as the Wild Shore Triptych and the Orange County Trilogy) consists of three books by Kim Stanley Robinson, that depict three different possible futures of Orange County, California. The three books that make up the trilogy are The Wild Shore, The Gold Coast and Pacific Edge. Each of these books describes the life of young people in the three very different near-futures.
Summaries[edit] The Wild Shore[edit] The Wild Shore was Robinson's first published novel. The Wild Shore (1984) is the story of survivors of a nuclear war. The nuclear strike was 2000 to 3000 neutron bombs which were detonated in 2000 of America's biggest cities in 1987. The Gold Coast[edit] Pacific Edge[edit] Pacific Edge (1990) can be compared to Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia, and also to Ursula K. These books, especially Pacific Edge, can be seen as forerunners to Robinson's Mars trilogy.

The neoliberal capture of the state has laid the ground for the financialization of capitalism, a stage of capitalism that cannot be reversed without developing new methods of public provision in housing, education, health, pensions and the other sources financialization has used to create profit. This is the crux of the argument advanced in Costas Lapavitsas's latest work, Profiting without Producing: How Finance Exploits Us All. With this book, Lapavitsas sheds much light into one of the most misunderstood processes in the evolution of capitalism, correcting in the process the tendency on the part of many "progressive" economists to regard regulation as the ultimate solution to the exploitative nature of finance capital.
For Lapavitsas, the struggle against finance capital is simultaneously a struggle against capitalism and for democratic socialism. Continue Reading.

Where the Bird Sings Best by Alejandro Jodorowsky — Restless Books. “This epic family saga, reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Cien anos de soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude) in structure and breadth, reads at a breakneck pace.
Though ostensibly a novelization of the author's own family history, it is a raucous carnival of the surreal, mystical, and grotesque....It weaves together Jewish philosophy, passion, humor, Tarot, ballet, circuses, natural disasters, spectacular suicides, lion tamers, knife throwers, Catholic devotion, farmers, betrayals, prostitutes, leftist politics, political violence, and the ghost of a wise rabbi who follows the family from the Old World to the New.” —Publishers Weekly "I divide the world into two categories: the originals, and the ones who follow. The originals are the people looking differently, who take the simple elements of everyday life and make miracles. –Marina Abramović "A man whose life has been defined by cosmic ambitions.

Black Reconstruction in America 1860-1880 by W.E.B. Du Bois. Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War by Drew Gilpin Faust. River of Dark Dreams — Walter Johnson. When Jefferson acquired the Louisiana Territory, he envisioned an “empire for liberty” populated by self-sufficient white farmers. Cleared of Native Americans and the remnants of European empires by Andrew Jackson, the Mississippi Valley was transformed instead into a booming capitalist economy commanded by wealthy planters, powered by steam engines, and dependent on the coerced labor of slaves.
River of Dark Dreams places the Cotton Kingdom at the center of worldwide webs of exchange and exploitation that extended across oceans and drove an insatiable hunger for new lands. This bold reaccounting dramatically alters our understanding of American slavery and its role in U.S. expansionism, global capitalism, and the upcoming Civil War. Walter Johnson deftly traces the connections between the planters’ pro-slavery ideology, Atlantic commodity markets, and Southern schemes for global ascendency.

Reading is a Feminist Issue: Radical Women for your Bookshelf Although women reportedly read more than men, women writers are much less reviewed – and when they actually are, they are too often marginalized into chick-lit sections. Throughout the intellectual world, authors, publishers and journalists are taking small steps against the blatant imbalance in how male and female writers and reviewers are treated.
One inspiring example that might go viral on the social networks is the #readwomen2014As a Guardian article suggests, the project started as “listing 250-odd names from Angela Carter to Zadie Smith and encouraging recipients to ‘if not vow to read women exclusively, look up some of the writers I've drawn on the front or listed on the back’.”Committing to reading more women authors is, in itself, a strong political stance.

I’ve just discovered that Arlette Farge’s book Le Goût de l’archive was translated into English and was published last year as The Allure of the Archive. Farge worked with Foucault on the lettres de cachet collection Le désordre des families - also being translated into English (see here). It’s good to see her work getting some more notice in English debates, though a couple of her works on Paris are translated.
Arlette Farge’s Le Goût de l’archive is widely regarded as a historiographical classic. While combing through two-hundred-year-old judicial records from the Archives of the Bastille, historian Farge was struck by the extraordinarily intimate portrayal they provided of the lives of the poor in pre-Revolutionary France, especially women. She was seduced by the sensuality of old manuscripts and by the revelatory power of voices otherwise lost. Thanks to Matt Farish for sending me this review. Like this: Like Loading...

Intersectionality Saving Intersectionality from Feminist Intersectionality Studies1 Sirma Bilge Département de sociologie, Université de Montréal Abstract This article identifies a set of power relations within contemporary feminist academic debates on intersectionality that work to “depoliticizing intersectionality,” neutralizing the critical potential of intersectionality for social justice-oriented change.
At a time when intersectionality has received unprecedented international acclaim within feminist academic circles, a specifically disciplinary academic feminism in tune with the neoliberal knowledge economy engages in argumentative practices that reframe and undermine it.

The Dream of the Great American Novel, by Lawrence Buell | Books. Peter Messent redefines the concept with close readings and illuminating insights We tend to think of the Great American Novel, Lawrence Buell rightly suggests, as “the brainchild of another era”.
It harks back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, a time of “anxious collective hand-wringing” about the apparent “maddeningly slow emergence of a robust national literary voice”. This book starts by asking whether such a concept has any validity, or was and is simply a product of “bad exceptionalism or national swagger”. If the latter is indeed sometimes true, it is noticeable that the novels generally put forward as candidates for such honours tend to be “anything but patriotic”, focusing, rather, on the gap between the ideal of America as a “land of promise” built on principles of liberty and equality, and the countervailing social reality.
As Buell knows, any work of criticism with “the Great American Novel” in its title will be met with some scepticism by a contemporary audience. We Got the Neutron Bomb : The Untold Story of L.A.
