Con el fracaso de las negociaciones de Camp David y el inicio de la segunda Intifada, o intifada de Al-Aksa, este movimiento entr en una grave crisis. Han quedado, eso s, numerosas iniciativas pacifistas y por la convivencia palestino-israel, y un significativo movimiento de rechazo al servicio militar o a servir en los territorios ocupados. Las reflexiones y testimonios que aqu recogemos -voces israeles y palestinas discrepantes, pero unnimes en su deseo de una paz justa- han de servir para entender lo complejo que resulta construir una alternativa que se salga de la lgica militar (y estatal) en un conflicto tan enquistado, tan marcado por una violencia casi ancestral y tan dependiente de coordenadas de la poltica internacional que se escapan a su influencia.

Courageous enough to create revolutionary change in their daily lives, these women mobilized over 20,000 women into an organized network during the Spanish Revolution to strive for community, education, and equality for women and the emancipation of all. Militants in the anarcho-syndicalist CNT union, Mujeres Libres struggled both against fascism, the state, and reaction; and the less than supportive attitudes and concerns of their male comrades. Martha Ackelsberg writes a comprehensive study of Mujeres Libres, intertwining interviews with the women themselves and analysis connecting them with modern feminist movements. This new edition includes additional research Ackelsberg carried out for the Spanish language edition, together with a brand new introduction written in the light of the new social movements, and resurgence of anarchism, post-Seattle.

Trefwoorden: Oost Europa, Zuid Europa, Repressie Andress, David The Terror Civil War in the French Revolution 2005, 448 pag., 33.25 Little Brown, London, isbn: 0316861812 The French Revolution marks the foundation of the modern political world. It was in the crucible of the Revolution that the political forces of conservatism, liberalism and socialism began to find their modern forms, and it was the Revolution that first asserted the claims of universal individual rights on which our current understandings of citizenship are based. But the Terror was, as much as anything else, a civil war, and such wars are always both brutal and complex. The guillotine in Paris claimed some 1500 official victims, but executions of captured counter-revolutionary rebels ran into the tens of thousands, and deaths in the areas of greatest conflict probably ran into six figures, with indiscriminate massacres being perpetrated by both sides. The story of the Terror is a story of grand political pronouncements, uprisings and insurrections, but also a story of survival against hunger, persecution and bewildering ideological demands, a story of how a state, even with the noblest of intentions, can turn on its people and almost crush them.

Nios de la guerra, dirigentes comunistas exiliados, antiguos marinos y aviadores republicanos, fueron a parar o tuvieron que quedarse en la Unin Sovitica tras la Guerra Civil. Durante la segunda guerra mundial, viviran epopeyas tremendas en aquel inmenso Estado que sufri ms vctimas mortales que europeos y americanos juntos.

The two became fast friends. Intellectual as well as political allies, they grew famous overnight after Paris was liberated. As playwrights, novelists, philosophers, journalists, and editors, the two seemed to be everywhere and in command of every medium in post-war France. East-West tensions would put a strain on their friendship, however, as they evolved in opposing directions and began to disagree over philosophy, the responsibilities of intellectuals, and what sorts of political changes were necessary or possible. As Camus, then Sartre adopted the mantle of public spokesperson for his side, a historic showdown seemed inevitable. Sartre embraced violence as a path to change and Camus sharply opposed it, leading to a bitter and very public falling out in 1952. They never spoke again, although they continued to disagree, in code, until Camus's death in 1960. In a remarkably nuanced and balanced account, Aronson chronicles this riveting story while demonstrating how Camus and Sartre developed first in connection with and then against each other, each keeping the other in his sights long after their break. Combining biography and intellectual history, philosophical and political passion, Camus and Sartre will fascinate anyone interested in these great writers or the world-historical issues that tore them apart.

In de winter van 1940 treffen twee mannen elkaar toevallig in een dorpje aan de voet van de Pyreneen. Beiden zijn op de vlucht. De een is een jonge Spaanse republikein die probeert te ontkomen aan de francisten. De ander is een Duitse filosoof, sinds 1933 op de vlucht voor de nazi's. Aan het einde van hun ontmoeting vertrouwt de filosoof de Spanjaard een manuscript toe waaraan hij jaren heeft gewerkt en dat hij als zijn levenswerk beschouwt. Later die nacht pleegt hij zelfmoord, geestelijk en lichamelijk uitgeput. De Spanjaard begint aan een barre tocht over de besneeuwde bergen. Het is ijskoud en wanhopig zoekt hij naar brandstof voor een vuurtje In een fascinerende mengeling van feit en fictie vertelt Bruno Arpaia de geschiedenis van deze twee zo verschillende personen. Aan de ene kant Laureano Mahojo, de jonge Spaanse revolutionair, een man van de daad, een wildebras en pragmaticus. Aan de andere kant de echte Walter Benjamin, een van Europa's grootste denkers van de vorige eeuw, weifelend, ziekelijk, onbegrepen en gekweld. Beiden vertegenwoordigen het idealistische Europa, dat de strijd heeft verloren en wordt geknecht door de fascistische terreur.

Alain Badiou vaagt de gemakzuchtige aannames weg die achter deze ethische trend schuilgaan. Hij hekelt de verschijningsvormen van de 'ethische ideologie': de doctrine van de mensenrechten, de 'humanitaire inmenging', het slachtofferisme, het cultureel relativisme. Hij betoogt met kracht van argumenten dat een ethiek die uitgaat van een universeel Subject en een evident Kwaad een weerzinwekkende vorm van 'westerse' zelfingenomenheid legitimeert. Behalve een pamflet tegen de heersende ethische doctrine is `De ethiek' ook een schets van een alternatieve opvatting van het ethische - een ethiek van 'trouw' aan 'waarheden' (in politiek, kunst, wetenschap of liefde). Badiou pleit voor een bijzondere vorm van universalisme, die vasthoudt aan de idee van het Goede als horizon van de oordeelsvorming en zich verzet tegen het nihilisme van het absolute Kwaad. Het Kwaad - als terreur, verraad of rampzaligheid - kan volgens hem alleen vanuit het streven naar het Goede worden bepaald. `L'thique' is een aanstekelijke denkoefening waarin filosofische vindingrijkheid en politiek engagement elkaar voortdurend aanjagen.

It marks a contribution not only to the literary and cultural history of the late-Victorian period, and to the expanding field of utopian studies, but to the development of a Marxist critique of utopianism. The book is particularly concerned with three kinds of political utopia or anti-utopia, those of 'state socialism', feminism, and anti-communism (the characteristic expression of this last example being the cacotopia). After an extensive contextual account of the politics of utopia in late-nineteenth century England, it devotes a chapter to each of these topics before developing an original reinterpretation of William Morris's seminal Marxist utopia, `News from Nowhere'.

Arguing against the standard interpretation of Hannah Arendt as an anti-modernist lover of the Greek polis, Seyla Benhabib contends that Arendt's thought emerges out of a double legacy: German Existenz philosophy, particularly the thought of Martin Heidegger, and her experiences as a German Jewess in the age of totalitarianism.This volume reconsiders Arendt's theory of

Part 2 contains, in addition to the important longer essays, "Franz Kafka," "Karl Kraus," and "The Author as Producer," the extended autobiographical meditation "A Berlin Chronicle," and extended discussions of the history of photography and the social situation of the French writer, previously untranslated shorter pieces on such subjects as language and memory, theological criticism and literary history, astrology and the newspaper, and on such influential figures as Paul Valery, Stefan George, Hitler, and Mickey Mouse.

This collection of essays aims to offer a more complete and complex picture of Mary Shelley, emphasizing the full range and significance of her writings in terms of her own era and ours.The book brings fresh insight to the life and work of an often neglected or misunderstood writer who, the editors remind us, spent nearly three decades at the centre of England's literary world during the country's profound transition between the Romantic and Victorian eras.The essays in the volume demonstrate the importance of Mary Shelley's neglected novels, including "Matilda", "Valperga", "The Last Man" and "Falkner". Other topics include Mary Shelley's work in various literary genres, her editing of her husband's poetry and prose, her politics and her trajectory as a female writer. The book is intended to advance Mary Shelley studies to a new level of discourse and raise important issues for English Romanticism and women's studies.

The Triumph of an Idea 2002, 352 pag., 26.90 Zed Books, London, isbn: 1842772198 This history of colonial and developmentalist thought tells the story of the West's relationship with those parts of the world it came to dominate, from the conquest of the Americas, the slave trade and the scramble for Africa, through to decolonization, the ideology of development and structural adjustment. Sophie Bessis shows how notions of the West have been used to justify imperial economic interests and the emergence of a free trade ideology. Attempts to emulate the Western model have in turn had devastating consequences for the South. Human rights, in theory at least, have become an accepted nostrum throughout the world. Yet those who pride themselves on having invented this universality still lay claim to some privileged right to define its content. Bessis highlights the hypocrisy with which the North applies these standards: one standard for China, with its huge potential market, another for minor African states, one for Muslim oppression of women in Teheran, another in Riyadh. In other words, human rights are still entirely subordinate to economic interest, as everything else in our society. Trefwoorden: Economie Bonanno, Alfredo M.

Surpassing Marxist political economy, which was rooted in an era of material scarcity, Bookchin argues that the tools necessary for the self-administration of society have largely been developed and, that, combined with an ecological outlook have greatly altered our revolutionary landscape. Technological advances made during the twentieth century have expanded production greatly, but in the pursuit of corporate profit and at the expense of human need and ecological sustainability. Far from a time when "capital accumulation" could be considered a prerequisite for liberation, the working class now more than ever can dispel the myth that obstructions such as the state, hierarchical social relations and political parties (vanguards) are necessary appendages to their struggle for freedom. Bookchin's utopian vision, rooted in the realities of contemporary society, remains refreshingly pragmatic.

Throughout, the emphasis is on the popular movements that propelled the great revolutions to radical peaks, the little-known leaders who spoke for the people and the liberatory social forms to which the revolutions gave rise. The four volumes form a dramatic ensemble that encompasses the hopes and social conflicts of past eras, as well as prospects for the coming century.The third volume begins with the Russian Revolution of 1905. The narrative moves to the crisis faced by international socialism on the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, and thence to the Russian Revolution of February 1917, the Bolshevik Red October, and the crucial German Revolution of 1918-19.

Maar wie was deze eigenzinnige vrouw die met grote vanzelfsprekendheid haar plek in de wereld opeiste? Gedreven door een onwrikbaar gevoel voor rechtvaardigheid betwistte Aletta Jacobs waar zij kon de fatsoensregels die vrouwen belemmerden in hun vrijheid. Zij werd uiteindelijk de spil en de ziel van de Nederlandse beweging voor vrouwenkiesrecht. Haar wapens waren een scherp politiek en strategisch inzicht, humor, toewijding, idealisme, onuitputtelijke energie en doorzettingsvermogen. Met gevoel voor het sprekende detail beschrijft Mineke Bosch de lange weg die Aletta Jacobs aflegde van 'eenvoudig dorpskind' uit een joods doktersgezin in de Groningse veenkolonin tot wereldburgeres die op bezoek ging bij de paus n de president van Amerika om hen persoonlijk de resoluties van het Haagse Vrouwencongres voor de vrede aan te bieden.

Zij zal gebaseerd moeten zijn op een echte verwerking van de hele Russische ervaring. Zij zal moeten weigeren het ene stel heersers in te wisselen voor een ander, het ene zootje priesters voor het andere, het ene autoritaire -sme voor het andere, de ene beperkende orthodoxie voor de andere. Alle schijnoplossingen die even zovele uitdrukkingen zijn van de voortdurende vervreemding van de mens, moeten ontmaskerd worden. Een echt begrip van het bolsjewisme moet een onderdeel van elke revolutie zijn die zich ten doel stelt alle vormen van vervreemding en zelfbedrog te overstijgen. Als de oude maatschappij ineen stort, dienen zowel de bourgeoisie als de bureaucratie onder haar puinhopen begraven te worden. De werkelijke bestaansgrond waarop zij opgegroeid zijn, moet begrepen worden. Bij deze gigantische taak zal de komende revolutie zijn kracht en inspiratie moeten halen uit de werkelijke ervaring van miljoenen, zowel in het Oosten als in het Westen. Wanneer dit boekje daarbij ook maar een beetje tot steun kan zijn, dan is ons werk de moeite waard geweest. Een opmerkelijke en unieke studie naar de gebeurtenissen gedurende de eerste jaren na de Oktoberrevolutie, waarbij deze worden geanalyseerd vanuit het perspectief van de arbeidersklasse. De chronologische behandeling geeft een ontluisterend beeld van de politiek der bolsjewiki tegenover de zelforganisatie der arbeiders.

Then, taking the World Social Forum as its source of inspiration, the book examines the evolution of alternative development thinking and ideas, exploring the current challenges NGOs face in trying to influence policy. Brunelle warns that if we want to see the world change from how it is now to how it could be, we need to take a somewhat different approach by understanding, and insisting on, a clear distinction between "globalization and free trade" and "the world economy and fair trade." The former he sees as the cause of most of the worlds problems, while the latter he suggests, would give more control to the people and take power away from corporations. In the end, what he presents is both a sober critique of globalization, as well as practical, thoughtful alternatives.

Based on extensive interviews with members of the "intifada generation," those who were between 10 and 18 years old when the intifada began in 1987, the book provides a detailed look at the intifada memories of ordinary Palestinians. These personal stories are presented as part of a complex and politically charged discursive field through which young Palestinians are invested with meaning by scholars, politicians, journalists, and other observers. What emerges from their memories is a sense of a generation caught between a past that is simultaneously traumatic, empowering, and exciting - and a future that is perpetually uncertain. In this sense, Collins argues that understanding the stories and the struggles of the intifada generation is a key to understanding the ongoing state of emergency for the Palestinian people.The book will be of interest not only to scholars of the Middle East but also to those interested in nationalism, discourse analysis, social movements, and oral history.

Celebrating unfettered masculinity and jealously guarding the American road as the preserve of white manhood, hoboes took command of downtown districts and swaggered onto center stage of the new urban culture. Less obviously, perhaps, they also staked their own claims on the American polity, claims that would in fact transform the very entitlements of American citizenship. In this work Todd DePastino tells the epic story of hobohemia's rise and fall, and crafts a stunning new interpretation of the "American century" in the process. Drawing on sources ranging from diaries, letters, and police reports to movies and memoirs, `Citizen Hobo' breathes life into the largely forgotten world of the road, but it also, crucially, shows how the hobo army so haunted the American body politic that it prompted the creation of an entirely new social order and political economy. DePastino shows how hoboes--with their reputation as dangers to civilization, sexual savages, and professional idlers--became a cultural and political force, influencing the creation of welfare state measures, the promotion of mass consumption, and the suburbanization of America. `Citizen Hobo's' sweeping retelling of American nationhood in light of enduring struggles over "home" does more than chart the change from "homelessness" to "houselessness." In its breadth and scope, the book offers nothing less than an essential new context for thinking about Americans' struggles against inequality and alienation.

Laat de Lente komen! 2005, 191 pag., 10.00 Baalprodukties, Sittard, isbn: 9075825285 In de jaren 1990 beleeft de radicale actiebeweging op de Britse eilanden een krachtige opleving. Tegenover een ingeslapen politiek establishment - behalve de mainstream partijen en media, ook onder andere de gevestigde milieubeweging - neemt een bont assortiment groepen het zlf op tegen de wegenbouw, de bio-industrie, de vossenjacht, de praktijken van bedrijven als Shell en McDonalds, de teelt van genetisch gemanipuleerde gewassen, het gebruik van tropisch hardhout en veel meer.... En van de grote drijfveren van deze opleving was de Britse Earth First! en `Weg met het Empire! Laat de lente komen!', geschreven door een van de oprichters daarvan. Het blikt uitgebreid terug op deze periode en wat erop volgde. Uit zoveel 'maatschappelijke praxis' valt veel te leren - over organisatiestructuren en strijdmiddelen, over solidariteit en repressie, over idealisme en realiteitszin. Het boek vervolgt met een kritische zelfanalyse van de beweging, weerslag van talloze discussies op Earth First- gatherings en elders. Maar het gaat ook verder. De klimaatveranderingen zijn nog niet eens in volle hevigheid losgebarsten, overstroomde gifbelten en een tweede golf immuunziekten kunnen ons nog danig verrassen, om nog maar te zwijgen over de rampen die vooralsnog geen naam hebben... Dit alles onder ogen zien is niet gemakkelijk. De ernst en de urgentie van de situatie zijn bijna niet te vatten. En toch zullen we de noodtoestand cht onder ogen moeten zien, haar dynamiek doorgronden en samen met anderen een handelingsperspectief en -praktijk ontwikkelen. En dat is precies wat de schrijver van dit boek, vanuit zijn jarenlange ervaring bij de radicale milieubeweging Earth First!, op boeiende en doorwrochte wijze doet. Niet vanuit een idealistisch perspectief maar door de enorme, existentile problematiek van onze tijd in haar sociaal-economische, haar materile en historische, context te plaatsen. Helder worden de contouren van een mogelijke politieke strategie voor de komende jaren geschetst. Vanuit een analyse van de sterke en zwakke kanten van de tegenbeweging, zoals deze zich de laatste jaren concreet heeft gemanifesteerd, stelt de schrijver dat we nu voor een aantal belangrijke 'opgaven' staan, vanuit de ecologische tijdsdruk en het politieke krachtenveld waarin we nu als activisten moeten leven en opereren. Want, zo zegt hij nuchter: "We moeten onszelf niet alleen zien als rebellen tegen het Empire, zoals zo velen vr ons, maar als rebellen op het meest kritieke moment in de geschiedenis van de mensheid." Het boek bevat meer, veel meer, en is een boeiend geschreven en gengageerd relaas dat nergens terugdeinst om dingen bij

Meer dan de helft van het gebied is al van de aardbodem verdwenen: afgegraven door de mergelindustrie. Anno 2005 zijn er nog maar elf huizen over - en op honderd meter afstand bevindt zich een gapend gat. In `De duivel groef een paradijs' vertelt de journaliste Nanne Dorren het prachtige, dramatische verhaal van 't Rooth. Een verhaal over intriges van politiek en bedrijfsleven, boeren die om grond twisten, de listen van de duivel en de lotgevallen van de geelbuik vuurpad die, paradoxaal genoeg, een paradijselijk onderkomen heeft gevonden in de mergelgroeve. Dit boek gaat niet alleen over dat kleine Zuid-Limburgse dorpje met zijn veelbewogen geschiedenis. Overal in het land voeren mensen strijd tegen de aanleg van Betuwe en hogesnelheidslijnen, nieuwe snelwegen, bedrijventerreinen en luchthavens. `De duivel groef een paradijs' is een verhaal waarin velen zich zullen herkennen.

Cultural anthropologists Duncan Earle and Jeanne Simonelli, drawing on decades-long relationships and fieldwork, attained a collegiality with the Zapatistas that reveals a more complex portrait of a people struggling with self-determination on every level. Seeking a new kind of experimental ethnography, Earle & Simonelli have chronicled a social experiment characterized by resistance, autonomy and communality. Combining their own compelling narrative as participantobservers, and those of their Chiapas compadres, the authors effectively call for an activist approach to research.

What you get here, in words, and over 200 photographs, is a thorough historical account of the first 17 years of the all-ages, volunteer-run punk club in Berkeley, CA, as recounted by those that actually worked there, went there, and occasionally played there. Some of the names you may know - some of them are (in)famous scenesters, zinesters and play(ed) in bands too - most of them you won't.

Trefwoorden: Oost Europa Eisner, Willie The Plot The secret story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion 2005, 160 pag., 25.20 Norton, London, isbn: 0393060454 Completing `The Plot' in the last month of his life, Will Eisner tackled what he regarded as his most powerful work. Deeply disturbed that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purports to be the actual blueprint by Jewish leaders to take over the world, continued to be published and disseminated to millions of people around the globe, Eisner hoped that his own graphic account of this outrageous fabrication could reach a mass audience in a way that no academic work possibly could. In presenting this history, Eisner takes the reader on a journey that begins in late nineteenth-century Paris, where an agent of the Russian secret police stumbles upon an old French philosophical work, which he plagiarizes, often word for word, creating a new document that seeks to implicate Jewish leaders and bankers in a plot to take over the world. Thus hatched as an antisemitic scheme to deflect widespread criticism of the tsar's repressive government, the Protocols was first published in Russia in 1905. In time, as World War I engulfed both Russia and most of the Western world in a deadly conflagration, the lie became an internationally accepted truth. Not even the venerable Times of London, which exposed the Protocols as a crude hoax in 1921, could put a stop to the publications, which soon sprang up in dozens of countries. Presenting a pageant of historical figures that includes, among many others, Tsar Nicholas II, Adolf Hitler, and Henry Ford, Eisner powerfully depicts the rise of modern antisemitic thought as seen through the spread of the Protocols itself. Written during the height of the Dreyfus Affair, which bitterly divided turn-of-the-century France, the Protocols, as Eisner reveals, was quickly adopted by numerous racist organizations, parties, and religions, be it the Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, or Islamic fundamentalists. Yet, despite periodic denunciations and new French revelations, the Protocols continues to be published throughout the Arab, Asian and European continent.

Wat de staat Palestina moest worden, geraakt onderhand volledig volgebouwd met Isralische huizen, terwijl het Isralische leger er de hele tijd Palestijnse huizen afbreekt. Hoe kan men twee staten maken als Isral alle grond wil, maar geen Palestijnen? En hoe kan Isral twee staten maken als er met de Palestijnen niet te praten valt? Als er geen twee staten naast elkaar kunnen leven, moet er dan gekozen worden voor n, democratische, binationale constructie? Afgezien van enkele Isralische zieners en vermoeide Palestijnen gelooft niemand dat dit mogelijk is. Als twee staten niet kunnen, en n staat kan niet, wat zijn dan nog de mogelijkheden?

He then details the prison war over political status, culminating in the hunger strikes of the early 1980s, moves on to describe the Provisionals' subsequent emergence as a more commitedly political force, and concludes with the peace process.

Dat ook het christenfundamentalisme een gevaar vormt, komt helaas veel minder aan de orde. Maar het gaat in beide gevallen om extreem-rechtse stromingen in een religieus jasje. Christenfundamentalisten nemen de teksten van de bijbel letterlijk. Ze geloven dus echt in "de satan", "de eindtijd", "de Antichrist" en de aanstaande wederkomst van Jezus. Ze misbruiken de godsdienstvrijheid om anderen openlijk te discrimineren en criminaliseren, verwerpen het zelfbeschikkingsrecht over lichaam en geest. Ze bestrijden liberalisme, socialisme, feminisme, athesme en alle andere emancipatiestromingen die de menselijke autonomie centraal stellen. Want er zou er maar n de baas zijn: God.

Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the battle against the rebel body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization. In the neoliberal era of postmodernism, the proletariat is whited-out from the pages of history. Federici recovers its historical substance by telling its story starting at the beginning, with the throes of its birth. This is a book of remembrance, of a trauma burned into the body of women, which left a scar on humanity's memory as deep and painful as those caused by famine, slaughter, and enslavement.

However, the parallel realities of disintegrating physical and psychological conditions in the ghetto, and the efforts of ghetto undergrounds to counter both collaborationist judenrat policies and the despair of a beaten down population, could not but lead to a breakdown in spiritual life. James M. Glass examines spiritual resistance to the Holocaust and the place of this within political and violent resistance. He explores Jewish reactions to the murderous campaign against them and their creation of new spiritual and moral rules to live by. He argues that the Orthodox Jewish response to annihilation, often seen as unduly passive, was predicated in the insanity of the times and can be seen as spiritually noble. Trefwoorden: Verzet

Kritik an Weltbild und Methode des Bert Hellinger. 2005, 240 pag., 16.47 Alibri, Aschaffenburg, isbn: 3865690076 Bert Hellinger gilt mit seiner besonderen Form der "systemischen Familienaufstellung" als absoluter "Superstar" der Therapieszene - jedenfalls sofern die Anzahl seiner Verffentlichungen sowie die Zahl der nach seiner Methode arbeitenden "TherapeutInnen" zugrunde gelegt wird. Fr die PatientInnen birgt die Behandlung "nach Hellinger" jedoch unwgbare Risiken: der ehemalige Missionar hat (ebenso wie die meisten seiner praktizierenden Anhnger) keine solide therapeutische Ausbildung und verstt gegen einfachste Regeln der Psychotherapie. Stattdessen propagiert er ein erzreaktionres Familienbild, in dem die Frau dem Mann untergeordnet ist, Konflikte nicht ausgesprochen werden drfen und die eigene Situation als Schicksal "angenommen" werden muss. Selbst sexueller Mibrauch und Vergewaltigung werden auf diese Weise als "Schicksalsereignis" dargestellt, fr das der Tter letztlich nicht selbst verantwortlich sei. Seine "Erkenntnisse", zu denen er nicht aufgrund wissenschaftlichen Studiums gelangt, sondern durch "hhere Eingebungen", wendet Hellinger nicht nur auf zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen an. Auch die Geschichte interpretiert er nach diesem Strickmuster neu. Insbesondere dienen seine "Erkenntnisse" zur Relativierung der Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus. Der Band stellt die zentralen Kritikpunkte an Hellingers Menschen- und Geschichtsbild kompakt dar, unterzieht seine Vorstellung von systemischer Therapie einer kritischen Betrachtung und wirft einen Blick auf das Netzwerk seiner Anhnger.

Goldstein spent time in prisons from Warsaw to Siberia, took part in the Russian Revolution and was a respected organizer within the vibrant labor movement in independent Poland. In 1939, with the Nazi invasion of Poland and establishment of the Jewish Ghetto, Goldstein and the Bund went undergroundorganizing housing, food, and clothing within the ghetto; communicating with the West for support; and developing a secret armed force. Smuggled out of the ghetto just before the Jewish militia's heroic last stand, Goldstein assisted in procuring guns to aid those within the ghetto's walls and aided in the fight to free Warsaw. After the liberation of Poland, Goldstein emigrated to America, where he penned this account of his five and a half years within the Warsaw ghetto and his brave comrades who resisted to the end. His surprisingly modest and frank depiction of a community under siege at a time when the world chose not to intervene is enlightening, devastating, and ultimately inspiring. "His active leadership before the war and his position in the Jewish underground during it qualify him as the chronicler of the last hours of Warsaw's Jews. Out of the tortured memories of those five and a half years, he has brought forth the picture with all its shadingsthe good with the bad, the cowardly with the heroic, the disgraceful with the glorious. This is the valedictory, his final service to the Jews of Warsaw."

Gordon challenges such slanders, and portrays instead the genius of this extraordinary woman. The twogeneration approach to her life examines not only Wollstonecraft herself, but also her effect on her daughters and heirs (Mary Shelley, Fanny Imlay, Claire Clairmont and Margaret Mount Cashell), and the ways in which they carried her influence into subsequent generations. Gordon takes stock of Wollstonecraft's life in accord with her own values rather than through the reputation history has given her. The author looks at her important relationships with Gilbert Imlay and William Godwin, and her ideas about issues such as the problems of communication between the sexes and parenthood. Through this brilliant study, Gordon, the author of biographies of Virginia Woolf and Charlotte Bronte among others, successfully reinterprets Mary Wollstonecraft for the twenty-first century.

While the exhibition catalogue provides a general and richly illustrated introduction to the theme, this book provides a range of academic texts by some of the leading scholars of the period. Background and contextual essays investigate indepth the art, history and culture of psychedelia, providing a rich and varied interpretation of the 1960s and its long-lasting legacy. Psychedelic art and culture is presented as an international creative phenomenon that made an essential, unjustly neglected contribution to the art and culture of one of the most turbulent periods in 20th-century history. While highlighting the expansive nature of psychedelic art, related aspects such as counterculture, student revolution, sexual liberation, drugs, literature and poetry,

music, fashion, comics, typography are also investigated.This collection of essays will be an invaluable addition to the growing body of literature on the 1960s, highlighting a particular significant and exciting aspect of the period. It will be of interest to the general reader as well as students and scholars of the art and culture of the 1960s.

Y sin conocer ni mucho menos esperar cuando llegar su final, reunimos aqu, dispuestos en orden cronolgico, los escritos redactados de forma colectiva con la intencin de cortarle el paso a los acontecimientos y aportar su particular punto de vista con respecto a la omnipresente cuestin social. El lenguaje, la creacin, el intercambio, el trabajo, el deporte, la relacin con la naturaleza y lo salvaje, la psicogeografa, el juego, el encuentro de distintas cosmovisiones, etc., son perfectas coartadas para activar una crtica implacable al modelo actual de civilizacin, al que en todos sus aspectos se trata de hostigar, a la vez que se arroja nueva luz sobre las viejas formas de accin que se tornan dainas a la tarea de hacer avanzar la crtica al Viejo Mundo. Para llevar a buen puerto estos fines, el Grupo Surrealista de Madrid hace uso de la percepcin, la experimentacin, el juego, la deriva y, en definitiva, de la experiencia de lo maravilloso. Todo esto se concreta en el plano prctico en un proyecto poltico de vida potica, o lo que es lo mismo, en una actividad colectiva empeada en realizar los sueos. Tal proyecto y tal actividad hacen del pensamiento de sensibilidad surrealista (lo que algunos definieron cmo el padre al querramos ver muerto) un sujeto enteramente vivo, que camina en direccin opuesta a las modernas ideologas radicales televisadas que ahora se nos ofrecen como manuales de supervivencia. Sin entrar de momento en la discusin de si el surrealismo es el padre al que odiamos o al que amamos, y al margen del etiquetaje dispuesto para el consumo, proponemos dejar los prejuicios a un lado y embadurnarnos en la harina que mancha este libro, para llegar a constatar en qu medida la carga subversiva del surrealismo esta an muy lejos de ser desactivada.

The third daughter of Richard and Emmeline Pankhurst, Sylvia was undoubtedly the most complex and unconventional of the Pankhurst girls. Expelled from the Women's Social and Political Union by her mother in 1914, Sylvia continued to fight tirelessly for the rights of women and other repressed people all over the world. Born in Manchester in 1882, Sylvia grew up in a bohemian household that played host to great activists and artists such as Keir Hardie, George Bernard Shaw, William Morris and Thomas Mann. Sylvia's father, Dr Richard Pankhurst, was a militant feminist who jeopardised his own legal career in order to found the Manchester National Women's Suffrage Movement in 1865. He was a compassionate and visionary man, and Sylvia adored him; but sadly, in 1898, when she was just 16, he died in her arms.Sylvia inherited her father's unshakeable idealism, and this set her on a collision course with her mother and sisters. In 1914 she protested vehemently against the WSPU's support for the war effort. On her subsequent expulsion from the movement, she took over an East End pub and converted it into a maternity clinic, a Montessori school and a day nursery, renamed "The Mothers' Arms". She also founded a toy factory nearby to provide work for women left unemployed after the closure of local clothing factories.Up until his death in 1915, Sylvia was involved in an anguished love affair with Keir Hardie, cofounder of the Independent Labour Party. Wherever they travelled in the world, they wrote each other long, passionate letters about love, life and politics. Later, at the age of 47, Sylvia gave birth to a son, Richard Keir Pethick Pankhurst, who she brought up in the leafy London suburb of Woodford Green, together with the baby's father, the Italian revolutionary Silvio Corio. Corio ran their teashop, The Red Cottage, while Sylvia wrote and travelled.Sylvia finally made her home in Ethiopia, enthusiastically joining the people in their struggle for independence. On her death in 1960, she was honoured with a state funeral. Drawing on her journals, letters, writings and paintings, this is the story of her colourful life.

Met de titel `Een wereld apart' verwees hij naar Dostojevski, die zijn `Aantekeningen uit het dodenhuis' begon met: `Binnen de omheining was een aparte wereld, anders dan die wij kennen, met eigen wetten, eigen zeden en gewoonten. Dit is het huis van de levende doden - een apart leven en mensen als nergens anders.' De verschillende hoofdstukken bestaan uit verhalen rond een aspect van het kampleven. Herling vertelt over martelingen en verraad, willekeur en geweld, maar ook over onvergetelijke blijken van menselijkheid. In de tientallen jaren van zijn leven die hij in Itali woonde, ontpopte Herling zich als een groot schrijver van historische verhalen en unieke dagboeken. `Een wereld apart' is in twintig talen vertaald, maar nimmer in het Nederlands. Na ruim vijftig jaar is het eindelijk toegankelijk voor de Nederlandse lezer. Na al die tijd heeft het nog niets van zijn authenticiteit, zijn kracht en zijn wrede schoonheid verloren.

When is such terrorism right, if it ever is, and when is it wrong? Here, Ted Honderich challenges the presuppositions, inconsistencies and prejudices of liberal-democratic thinking. He tackles such emotive subjects as the IRA, the PLO and the ANC, arguing the importance of understanding the justification for political violence in all its manifestations. Exploring the moral issues that lie at the heart of these difficult questions, Honderich reminds us that political philosophy should be an attempt to inquire with an open mind and - and that to open one's mind it is not necessarily to lose one's convictions.

The so-called "people's war" was launched in 1996 by the Communist Party of Nepal to overthrow the political establishment, including the monarchy. Tactics have included killing members of rival parties as well as attacks on police stations, banks, and power installations. The indiscriminate nature of the government's military response has been widely criticized. In 2001, Nepal's political situation came to the attention of Western news media with the murders of members of the royal family. This book provides historical, social, and political background on the movement and related events in this ongoing struggle. The contributors examine the war's origins and antecedents, provide ethnographic accounts from rural and urban perspectives, and draw comparisons with other Maoist movements elsewhere in the world.

For example, the Workers Group around Miasnikov and others, formed in 1923, formulated a critique of the Communist Internationals opportunist tactic of the United Front and the Workers Government in terms very similar to those elaborated by Bordiga in the same period; and its understanding of the tasks of revolutionaries faced with the degeneration of the proletarian party are certainly on the same wavelength as the

It documents Gramsci's concern with language from his university studies in linguistics, where he initially derived his famous concept of hegemony, to his last prison notebook. Hegemony has been seen as Gramsci's most important contribution, but without knowledge of its linguistic roots, it is often misunderstood. It is only from the vantage point of Gramsci's writings on language that the full explanatory power of hegemony, and his unique combination of Marxist economic analysis and social critique can be fully appreciated.

Aber das Ende der Geschichte hat nicht lange gedauert. Die herrschende Unordnung sieht sich berall auf der Welt erneut in Frage gestellt. Allerdings: die Unzufriedenheit mit dem Bestehenden uert sich nur sehr diffus. Der Blick fr die grundlegenden Ursachen der gesellschaftlichen Verwerfungen und Zerfallserscheinungen bleibt verstellt, weil nach dem Niedergang des traditionellen Marxismus eine konsequente und umfassende Gesellschaftskritik fehlt. Um diese Lcke zu schlieen, mssen ganz grundstzliche Fragen neu aufgeworfen werden: Was ist eigentlich eine Ware? Was bedeutet es, dass eine Gesellschaft auf Warenproduktion beruht? Welche Zwnge, Krisen und Katastrophen ergeben sich hieraus? Es ist notwendig, die Basiskategorien der kapitalistischen Modernisierung als solche zu kritisieren, und sich nicht nur ber ihre angeblich bessere Anwendung und Regulation den Kopf zu zerbrechen. Karl Marx Kritik der Ware, der abstrakten Arbeit und des Geldes ist nicht lnger eine Art Geheimphilosophie, sondern hchst aktuell geworden.

Those trying to change government policy were well aware that their only hope was to overthrow the system. Many people attempting such change were aided by the government itself, whose acts were so irrational and self-defeating that they only encouraged more opposition. The author describes the activities of the most important dissidents and agitators from the reign of Ivan the Terrible to Nicholas II and the fall of the Romanovs in 1917. Some were fascinating individuals, serious activists, and some of the individuals covered were opportunistic scoundrels and adventurers. The author explores the causes that provoked them and the consequences they faced, and demonstrates that the tsars, time and again, were goaded into overreacting.

As Esther Kaplan shows in her richly detailed investigation, it's no wonder the Christian right voted for Bush in droves - their loyal support has produced results. While organizations that offer abortion counseling and services or help to prevent HIV see their funds cut, church groups receive millions in federal dollars to promote sexual abstinence and marriage (provided, of course, it is heterosexual). Bush has appointed a Christian right dream team to the federal courts, deadicated to tearing down what one such judge calls the "so-called separation of church and state." Religious zeal even shapes Bush's foreign policy, as Chritian belief in the end times spurs the administration's support for hard-line policies in Israel. A comprehensive and prescient stud of the Christain right's growing political clout, With God on Their Side is essential reading for anyone concerned about America's direction under the second administration of George W.

Welke veiligheidsdiensten hebben toegang tot welke informatie en waarom? Welke beslissingen worden genomen op basis van 'chatter'? Patrick Radden Keefe deed drie jaar wereldwijd onderzoek naar wie wie afluistert, en hoe, om de waarheid te achterhalen achter de vele geruchten en complottheorien die de ronde doen. Zijn meeslepende verhaal voert ons van een geheim afluister-station in het Engelse Yorkshire naar de inlichtingendiensten in Washington en Londen; en van een verlaten NSA-basis in NorthCarolina naar het Europees Parlement. Hij sprak met medewerkers van geheime diensten, die hun dagen doorbrengen met het afluisteren van andermans privgesprekken, met politici die pleiten voor meer toezicht op de inlichtingendiensten, met voormalige spionnen, en met de journalisten die het bestaan van Echelon onthulden. In Chatter wordt voor het eerst duidelijk welke rol dit wereldwijde afluistersysteem speelt in de oorlog van Amerika tegen het terrorisme. De 'chatter' van terroristen wordt systematisch onderzocht.

This 'new violence' stems from a variety of social actors: drug mafias, peasant militias and urban gangs, the so-called actores armadas, and includes state-related actors such as the police, military intelligence agencies and paramilitary forces. The results include both 'governance voids' - domains where the legitimate state is effectively absent - and the erosion of the capacity and willingness of state officials to abide by the rule of law themselves. These tendencies in turn raise the threat that authoritarian regimes under the control of political armies will be re-installed, or, at the very least, that state violence in one form or another will spread. This book explores these developments and discovers links with the weakening of state structures undertaken in the name of neoliberal economic reforms.

Auf je eigene Weise glaubten sie sich als Reinkarnation eines Che Guevara begreifen zu knnen mitten im Kalten Krieg, im gespaltenen Deutschland, an dem am weitesten vorgeschobenen Posten des Westens, in der Frontstadt West-Berlin. Dutschke ist der erste gewesen, der hierzulande die Idee von der Stadtguerilla aufgriff bereits lange vor dem Ausbruch der Studentenrevolte. Und Baader war derjenige, der sich nach ihrem Ende wie kein anderer als ein solcher stdtischer Guerillero begriff. Was Dutschke noch mit klassenkmpferischer Diktion propagiert hatte, das wurde von dem Abenteurer, dem Auto- und Waffennarr Baader ohne groes ideologisches Federlesen praktiziert. Wer die Geschichte der RAF verstehen will, der kommt deshalb nicht an dieser lange Zeit bersehenen Beziehung vorbei. Diejenigen, die unter dem fnfzackigen Stern und der Kalaschnikow als Rote Armee Fraktion antraten, waren alles andere als fehlgeleitete Idealisten. Sie waren Desperados. Ihnen ging es ganz im Gegensatz zu ihren Deklarationen - nicht um irgendein politisches Konzept, ber das sie gar nicht verfgten, ihnen ging es im Kern um die Befriedigung eines narzitischen Bedrfnisses. Nicht Ohnmachts-, sondern Machterfahrungen sind fr sie mageblich gewesen. Die obsessive Machtausbung wurde ihnen, zuerst im Untergrund, dann im Knast, zu einer Art eigener Lebensform. Ohne deren Attraktivitt zu begreifen, lassen sich auch die affektiven Beziehungen der radikalen Linken zu ihr nicht verstehen. Und ohne diesen Kitt lt sich auch die Geschichte der RAF nicht verstehen und noch weniger ihre mythologische Aufladung. Es ist an der Zeit, sich endlich von jener so beraus klebrigen Beziehung zu verabschieden, die den Gefhlskitsch vom bewaffneten Kampf selbst nach der Auflsung der RAF noch am Leben erhalten hat, und einen vernderten, einen khlen Blick auf jene terroristische Herausforderung zu werfen, die im nachhinein kaum vorstellbar ber so viele Jahre hinweg Staat und Gesellschaft in Atem zu halten verstand.

Rotterdam leeft in de euforie van de bevrijding maar voor 225 Rotterdammers barst de hel opnieuw los. 'Het was nog vroeg in de ochtendschemer om half vijf 's morgens toen de nachtmerrie begon. Opeens waren er Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten, met geweren in de aanslag. Er werd op deuren gebonsd, iedereen eruit. Namen werden geroepen. We moesten in bussen stappen, samen met de BS-ers en gewapende politieagenten. We wisten niet waar we naartoe gebracht werden', zo herinnert een van die mensen zich. Deportatie. Niets meer en niets minder. Na de oorlog werden in Drente speciale kampen ingericht voor, zoals het in een ambtelijke nota werd omschreven: gezinnen als een schip zonder roer; losgeslagen op de woeste zee, de zeilen gebold door de windhozen van degeneratie. Ze drinken te veel, verwaarlozen hun kinderen, vervuilen zichzelf en zijn sexueel losbandig. Ze werden 'asociaal' of 'onmaatschappelijk' genoemd. Heropvoeding in gezinsoorden op de Drentse heide was voor de overheid de enige oplossing om het kankergezwel van de samenleving te elimineren. In hun nieuwe onderkomens werden de gezinnen nauwlettend in de gaten gehouden.

Biotechnology Corporate Power Versus the Public Interest 2005, 250 pag., 28.50 Pluto Press, London, isbn: 0745319742 A review of the EU legal framework concerning biotechnology Analyses how corporations lobby the relevant institutions (both in the EU and in the US) to influence favourable legislation A clear and accessible reference similar in spirit to the author's critical guide to the European Union Frankenfoods, designer babies, Dolly the Sheep and Raelian fantasists: few subjects generate as much controversy and misinformation as biotechnology. This book takes the reader behind the headlines to examine the new laws on genetic-based technologies, who's making them, and why. Steven P. McGiffen offers a lucid analysis of the real implications of biotechnology legislation in the US and the EU, and contrasts it with approaches to agricultural and medical biotech in the rest of the world. He argues that the EU and America are removing decision-making power from the people and their elected representatives. Biotechnology regulation is a local manifestation of a global process of transferring power: from the people to corporations, from poor countries to rich ones, from the public to the private.He shows that biotechnology demands effective and democratic international decision-making procedures -- and that we are very far from achieving them. Ideal for the general reader, this is an indispensable guide for activists and anyone who wants to know more about how to control biotech regulation and how to resist handing control of our future to corporations.

McLuhan, Marshall Understanding me Lectures and interviews 2005, 344 pag., 29.60 MIT, Cambridge, isbn: 0262633175 In the last twenty years of his life, Marshall McLuhan published a series of books that established his reputation as a world-renowned communications theorist and the pre-eminent seer of the modern age. It was McLuhan who made the distinction between "hot" and "cool" media. And it was he who coined the phrases "the medium is the message" and "the global village" and popularized other memorable terms including "feedback" and "iconic." McLuhan was far more than a pithy phrasemaker, however. He foresaw the development of the personal computer at a time when computers were huge, unwieldy machines available only to institutions. He anticipated the wide-ranging effects of the Internet. And he understood, better than any of his contemporaries, the transformations that would be wrought by digital technology -in particular, the globalization of communications and the instantaneous-simultaneous nature of the new, electric world. In many ways, we're still catching up to him. In Understanding Me, Stephanie McLuhan and David Staines have brought together nineteen previously unpublished lectures and interviews either by or with Marshall McLuhan. They have in common the informality and accessibility of the spoken word. In every case, the text has been transcribed from the original audio, film, or videotape of McLuhan's actual appearances. This is not what McLuhan wrote but what he said -- the spoken words of a surprisingly accessible public man. He comes across as outrageous, funny, perplexing, stimulating, and provocative. McLuhan will never seem quite the same again. Trefwoorden: Media McNeil, Legs & Gillian McCain Please Kill Me The Uncensored Oral History of Punk 1997, 450 pag., 17.00 Penguin, London, isbn: 0140266909 As its sensationalist title suggests, this stresses the sex, drugs, morbidity and celebrity culture of punk at the expense of the music. Starting out with the electroshock therapy Lou Reed received as a teenager, working through such watersheds as the untimely deaths by overdose or mishap of Sid Vicious, Johnny Thunders and Nico, as well as the complicated sexual escapades of the likes of Dee Dee Ramone, the portrayal here of the birth of an alternative culture is intermittently entertaining and often depressing. McNeil, one of the founding writers of the original 'zine, Punk, in 1975, is certainly qualified to tell this tale. But the book's take on punk rock as "doing anything that's gonna offend a grown-up" overemphasizes the self-destructive side of the movement. Details of Iggy Pop's drug abuse and seedy sex with groupies receive more attention than important bands such as Television and Blondie, which had comparatively puritan lifestyles. Constructed as an oral history, the book weaves together personal accounts by the crucial players in the scene, many of whom seem to have been so drugged out most of the time that their reliability is questionable. McNeil and McCain (Tilt) provide a vivid look at the volatile and needy personalities who created punk, if they do not offer perceptive musical or cultural analysis.

The ferocity of the killing and the cruelty inflicted on defenseless people has no comparison in modern times. Conspiracy To Murder is the story of how that genocide was planned. It reveals how, from as early as 1990, the political, military and administrative leadership of Rwanda became involved in planning the complete extermination of the Tutsi population. A vicious hate campaign filled the media, urging Hutus to kill; a network of roadblocks was devised to prevent any escape; civil-defence groups were established through the country, with eventually every third Hutu being armed; half a million machetes and other agricultural tools were imported, and 85 tons of munitions distributed countrywide, in the year leading up to the genocide. Melvern reveals the full story behind the conspiracy, detailing the involvement of world governments: how the French military trained the killers and how their 'humanitarian' intervention in June 1994 enabled many of those killers to escape justice; how the British government misled Parliament about what was really happening; how the US is still withholding wiretap and satellite evidence showing that the genocide had begun; and how significant was the knowledge of the then Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Gali Trefwoorden: Afrika Mies, Maria Patriarchy & Accumulation on a World Scale Women in the international division of labour 2001, 251 pag., 24.00 Zed Books, London, isbn: 1875559582 In this book Mies focuses on third world women, the international division of labor, and the capitalist system from a Marxist perspective. She claims that there is an intrinsic relationship between capitalism and patriarchy and that we can no longer accept a classical Marxist explanation of the capitalist system, because it does not include women. She goes on to propose that capitalism usurps the labor of women through a patriarchal system, which labels it as housework or subsistence work. In turn this "subsistence" work is not accounted for in the cost of labor (i.e. production), which leads to the accumulation of capital. This means that the labor of women is exploited by the system of capitalist-patriarchy, because it is not given credit for the economic benefits that it provides for the system. In Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale Mies goes on to evaluate womens role within the International Division of Labor (IDL), which she represents as a sexual division of labor. With the rise of multinational corporations (MNCs) and the global economy, womens labor has been increasingly exploited, for women are viewed as docile, low wage, flexible workers with low visibility and little power.

Pluto Press, London, isbn: 0745323375 This collection of specially commissioned essays is the first of its kind in English on the work of Antonio Negri, the Italian philosopher and political theorist. The spectacular success of 'Empire', Negri's collaboration with Michael Hardt, has brought Negri's writing to a new, wider audience. A substantial body of his writing is now available to an English-speaking readership. Outstanding contributors including Michael Hardt, Sergio Bologna, Kathi Weeks and Nick Dyer-Witheford - reveal the variety and complexity of Negri's thought and explores its unique relevance to modern politics. Negri is one of the most sophisticated analyists of modern political philosophy. Philosophers and critics alike find his work both difficult and exhilarating, engaging as it does with Marx, Spinoza, Deleuze, Guattari, Tronti and others. This book is ideal for readers who want to get to grips with Negri's key themes, in particular his theories on labour, capital, power, the state and revolution. It makes a great introduction to his work for students of political philosophy, as well as providing a comprehensive critical approach for Negri enthusiasts. Trefwoorden: Maatschappijkritiek, Filosofie, Economie Negri, Antonio Negri on Negri 2005, 201 pag., 24.95 Routledge, London, isbn: 041596895X Political philosopher, convicted activist, leftist intellectual and coauthor of the bestselling Empire, Antonio Negri is one of the most controversial thinkers at work today. In this booklength conversation with Anne Dufourmentelle, Negri offers thoughtful responses to twenty-six terms, alphabetically arranged, that have had special significance for his life and work. Negri speaks openly here of his involvement with political movements, his exile, his return to Italy and years there in prison, and his life since. But beyond the biographical there is much here to explain Negri's ideas on globalization, the future of social change, and the history of political thought. The book's subjects - fascism, Heidegger, the Red Brigades, Wittgenstein, empire, Kant, the unconscious, and many others - are often thresholds from which Negri shares his views on still larger topics. Negri on Negri provides a fascinating glimpse into his mind and life. Perhaps nowhere else can one engage so readily the ideas of this major contemporary thinker.

Written in prison two decades apart, these two essays reflect Negri's abiding interest in the philosophy of time and resistance. The first is a central work in Negri's oeuvre, tracing the fracture lines which force capitalist society into perpetual crisis. The second essay, written immediately after the global bestseller, Empire, provides a conceptual toolbox, deepening our understanding of the two key concepts of empire and multitude.

Drawing on his years of investigation, O'Harrow shows how the government now depends on burgeoning private reservoirs of information about almost every aspect of our lives to promote homeland security and fight the war on terror. Consider the following: When you use your cell phone, the phone company knows where you are and when. If you use a discount card, your grocery and prescription purchases are recorded, profiled, and analyzed. Many new cars have built-in devices that enable companies to track from afar details about your movements. Software and information companies can even generate graphical link-analysis charts illustrating exactly how each person in a room is related to every other - through jobs, roommates, family, and the like. Almost anyone can buy a dossier on you, including almost everything it takes to commit identity theft, for less than fifty dollars. O'Harrow tells the inside stories of key players in this new world, from software inventors to counterintelligence officials. He reveals how the government is creating a national intelligence infrastructure with the help of private companies. And he examines the impact of this new security system on our traditional notions of civil liberties, autonomy, and privacy, and the ways it threatens to undermine some of our society's most cherished values, even while offering us a sense of security.

Olivera, Oscar Cochabamba! Water Rebellion in Bolivia 2003, 160 pag., 14.55 South End Press, Boston, isbn: 0896087026 A new phase in the international movement to turn back the rising tide of corporate globalization was marked by U.S. protests in Seattle and the triumphs of grassroots activists in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Volumes have been written about the struggle to shut down the World Trade Organization meetings, but little has been documented about the arguably more successful struggle to regain control of Cochabamba's water supply and kick out the transnational corporation that privatized it. Cochabamba! Water Rebellion in Bolivia tells this story-the story of the first great victory against corporate globalization in Latin America. Oscar Olivera, a 45-year-old machinist, was at the center of the movement that brought tens of thousands of ordinary people to the streets in the Andean city of Cochabamba, Bolivia. Olivera, in collaboration with Tom Lewis, presents the ideas and emotions of a first hand participant in the victorious rebellion and street battles that have inspired activists in social movements around the world. Cochabamba! explains how the city's water supply was sold to Aguas del Tunari, a subsidiary of the U.S.based transnational corporation Bechtel. Water prices subsequently rose astronomically and povertystrapped Bolivians refused to pay. Olivera explains the process of organizing an opposition movementthe Coordinator for the Defense of Water and Lifeand relates the dramatic struggles that eventually defeated the neoliberal privatizers. Olivera reflects on the themes that emerged as a result of the war over water; the fear and isolation which the Cochabambinos overcame through a spirit of solidarity and mutual aid; Bolivia's criminalization of social movements as part of Bush's global "war on terrorism"; and the challenges of democratically administering the city's water supply. Cochabamba! also discusses the impact of the "water wars" on subsequent resistance. Trefwoorden: Zuid Amerika Organic Chaos Network e.a More fun 4 animals!

Instead of their original clearly defined, circumscribed and even benign responsibilities, they have now become the financial policemen of a global economy characterized by mounting extremes of rich and poor, recurrent instability, and failure over a half century to solve the problems of the developing countries. The story of the mounting opposition to these institutions is told. And the book concludes with a trenchant review of the various ideas now being canvassed not simply for their radical reform, but for alternative principles that might guide a very different form of globalization.

De traditie van het Duitse idealisme bleek te sterk. Taaie autocratische structuren lieten zich gelden. De gebroken verhouding tot de Duitse natie eiste haar tol. Het onvoltooide, beschamende verleden dwong tot zuivering door geweld. Auteurs uit Nederland, Duitsland en Oostenrijk schrijven over deze Duitse worsteling met politiek geweld. Het gaat onder meer over de verwerking van traumatische geweldservaringen in de Eerste Wereldoorlog en het Derde Rijk, over geweld in de politieke arena van de Republiek van Weimar en over Rudi Dutschke, de RAF en de linkse kritiek op het geweld der kameraden. Nieuwe perspectieven op geweld worden betrokken op de Duitse geschiedenis, vanuit historisch, filosofisch, politicologisch en sociologisch standpunt.

The participants in these impassioned debates included many of surrealism's best-known figures - Andre Breton, Paul Eluard, Louis Aragon, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Antonin Artaud and more. Though there is plenty of humor in these transcripts, the surrealists were engaging in the most rigorous self-exploration, trying scrupulously to record every aspect of sexual love, and eroticism. With questions posed such as 'Would You Show Your Wife A Stain On Your Trousers' and the ever thorny subject of homosexuality (they were all rampantly homophobic, with the notable exception of Benjamin Peret), there can be few who have ever explored sexual desire with such honesty or such desperate hope.

A handbook for global activists that takes the reader on a round-the-world tour of resistance to neoliberal globalization. Although the anti-globalization movement is truly global, each region has its own specific groups and agendas. Most books concentrate on the European and American movements. This book is different -- writers and activists from every continent summarise what's going on in their area to provide a truly international view of alternative social and political struggles. From Bolivia to New Zealand, from South Africa to Russia and China. Struggles against capitalism, privatisation, social exclusion and exploitation. Increasingly, these groups are exchanging ideas, particularly at the new Social Forums of Porto Alegre and Mumbai. The authors examine the World Social Forums as a dynamic for moving things forward. They explore the global anti-war movement and the successful mobilisation for the protests of 15th February 2003; analyse new media strategies; and offer a disturbing account on new police arrangements to control demonstrators.

Ik leef in het heden en noteer wat ik zie', schrijft de Russische journaliste en mensenrechtenactiviste Anna Politkovskaja in haar voorwoord van Poetins Rusland. Haar aantekeningen in de marge van het leven van Rusland geven een onthutsend beeld van het beleid van president Poetin en de uitwassen waartoe dat leidt. Het werk van Politkovskaja is internationaal vermaard vanwege de menselijkheid en de passie, en haar focus op individuen en hun verhalen. Haar boek is dan ook niet zomaar een biografie of een analyse van het presidentschap van Poetin. Ze schrijft over grootschalige maffiapraktijken en schandalen in de provincie, over dodelijke corruptie in het leger en de rechtspraak. Over de grootschalige omkoping die het gevolg is van de opkomst van de straathandel, en de waarheid achter de bestorming van het Moskouse theater aan de Doebrovskaja-straat, waar zij als bemiddelaar optrad. En altijd staan individuen centraal: moeders van zonen die zich ophangen in militaire dienst, of vrienden van vroeger die tot moord in staat blijken te zijn.

Yet her writings and speeches on anarchism and feminismas radical, passionate, and popular at the time as Goldman'sare virtually unknown today. This important book brings de Cleyre's eloquent and incisive work out of undeserved obscurity. Twenty-one essays are reprinted here, including her classic works: "Anarchism and the American Tradition," "The Dominant Idea," and "Sex Slavery." Three biographical essays are also included: two new ones by Sharon Presley and Crispin Sartwell, and a rarely reprinted one from Emma Goldman. At a time when the mainstream women's movement asked only for the right to vote and rarely challenged the status quo, de Cleyre demanded an end to sex roles, called for economic independence for women, autonomy within and without marriage, and offered a radical critique of the role of the Church and State in oppressing women. In today's world of anti-globalization actions, de Cleyre's anarchist ideals of local self-rule, individual conscience, and decentralization of power still remain fresh and relevant.

There is probably more rubbish talked about anarchism than any other political idea. Actually, it has nothing to do with a belief in chaos, death and destruction. Anarchists do not normally carry bombs, nor do they ascribe any virtue to beating up old ladies.It is no accident that the sinister image of the mad anarchist is so accepted. The State, the press and all the assorted authoritarian types, use every means at their disposal to present anarchy as an unthinkable state of carnage and chaos. We can expect little else from power-mongers who would have no power to monger if we had our way. They have to believe that authority and obedience are essential in order to justify their own crimes to themselves. The TV, press and films all preach obedience, and when anarchy is mentioned at all, it is presented as mindless destruction.

Five control the worldwide trade in grain. Two have cornered the private market for drinking water. In terms of actual dollars, trade in heroin and cocaine ranks alongside that in grain or metals. There are more slaves in the world today than ever before. With brief sections on broad categories of resources, `It's All for Sale' is an reference guide to who owns what: who controls the world's natural resources and what exactly is bought and sold. Some - such as fuel, metals, fertilizers, drugs, fibres, food, forests, and flowers - have, for better or worse, long been thought of as commodities. Others - including fresh water, human beings, the sky, the oceans, and life itself (in the form of genetic codes) - are more startling to think of as products with price tags, but, as James Ridgeway shows, they are treated as such on a massive scale in lucrative markets around the world. Revealing the surprisingly small number of companies that control many of the basic commodities we use in everyday life, `It's All for Sale' confirms in specific detail that globalization has been accompanied by an extraordinary concentration of ownership. At the same time, it is about much more than what company has cornered the market in corn or diamonds. Corporations and captains of industry, wars and swindles, oppressors and the oppressed, empires and colonies, military might and commercial power, economic boom and bust - all these come alive in Ridgeway's fascinating and surprising reporting about the global scramble for power and profit.

These essays focus on the ways in which surrealist perspectives have continued to evolve and expand since the movement's worldwide resurgence in the 1960s. This wideranging and well-illustrated collection includes prefaces to international surrealist exhibitions and texts concerning wilderness, the politics of humor, the black radical tradition, and the critique of whiteness documenting key developments in surrealism's collective evolution. Other essays explore the work of individual poets, paints, musicians and dancers whose creative activity exemplifies the movement's ongoing transformative project. Rosemont remarks in his Introduction: "As a book about surrealism, this is also inevitably a book about freedom, desire, surprise, love, play, humor, black music, painting, collage, dance, film, ecology, subversion, revolt and revolution. Above all it is concerned with the practice of poetry: poetry as audacity and insubordination, a source and method of knowledge, a model for a better society, an adventure and experience that makes all the difference in the world."

Rejecting traditional left dogma, and proudly affirming the influence of Bugs Bunny and the Incredible Hulk, these playful rebels against work expanded the critique of Capital into a critique of daily life and developed a truly radical theory and practice, rooted in poetry, provocation, blues, jazz and the pleasure principle. Active in strikes, free-speech fights and other tumults, they also introduced countless readers to important writings by and about surrealists, situationists, IWWs, anarchists, libertarian Marxists, Provos, the Japanese Zengakuren, and other political/cultural revolutionary-minded individuals and movements from all over the world.

Said beschouwt orintalisme als een invloedrijke, effectieve, Europees-ideologische creatie, die schrijvers, filosofen en koloniale bestuurders de mogelijkheid bood om te kunnen omgaan met het andere van de oosterse cultuur, gewoonten en godsdienstige overtuigingen. Hij volgt verwoed en bewonderend het pad door de werken van Homerus, Nerval, Flaubert, Disraeli en Kipling, wier fantasievolle beschrijvingen flink hebben bijgedragen aan het romantische en exotische beeld dat het Westen kreeg van het Oosten. Ook gaat hij uitvoerig in op de geschiedenis van de wetenschappelijke orintalistiek. Said onderzoekt, steunend op zijn eigen ervaring als Palestijn die leefde in het Westen, hoe de orintalistische beeldvorming een reflectie kan zijn van Europees imperialisme en racisme.

Anarchism and coultercultural politics in early twentieth-century Cuba 2005, 304 pag., 62.40 University Press of Florida, Gainsville, isbn: 0813027918 This is the first critical in-depth study of the anarchist movement in Cuba in the three decades after the republic's independence from Spain in 1898. Kirwin Shaffer shows that anarchists played a significant until now little-known - role among Cuban leftists in shaping issues of health, education, immigration, the environment, and working-class internationalism. They also criticized the state of racial politics, cultural practices, and the conditions of children and women on the island. In the chaotic new country, members of the anarchist movement interpreted the War for Independence and the revolutionary ideas of patriot Jose Marti from a far left perspective, embarking on a nationwide debate with the larger Cuban establishment

about what it meant to be "Cuban." To counter the dominant culture, the anarchists created their own initiatives to help people - schools, health institutes, vegetarian restaurants, theater, and fiction writing groups - and as a result they challenged both the existing elite and the U.S. military forces that occupied the country. Shaffer also focuses on what anarchists did to prepare the masses for a social revolution.While many of their ideals flowed from Europe, and in particular from Spain, their programs, criticisms, and literature reflected the specifics of Cuban reality and appealed to Cuba's popular classes. Using theories on working-class internationalism, countercultures, popular culture, and social movements, Shaffer analyzes archival records, pamphlets, newspapers, and novels, showing how the anarchist movement in republican Cuba helped shape the country's early leftist revolutionary agenda.

Trefwoorden: Politieke Geschiedenis Sheppard, Brian Olivier The Inefficiency Of Capitalism An Anarchist View 2003, 36 pag., 3.00 See Sharp Press, Tucson Instead of engaging in the usual moralistic leftist critique of capitalism, this pamphlet tackles the subject head on, on its own turf - economics - and demolishes the common belief that 'capitalism delivers the goods'. Sheppard does this through close consideration of 10 of the most outstanding inefficiencies of capitalism - things such as manufacture of false desires, product duplication, cost-shifting, systemic unemployment, waste of unsold goods, and the inefficiency of hierarchies. Through this analysis, Sheppard shows that, given the labor and resources at hand, capitalism is a horribly wasteful system that produces a pitifully small amount of useful goods and services.

First English translations of some key Dutch texts in pirate history. Unique focus on the politics of piracy in the 17th and 18th century. This book explores pirate culture as radical social organization: a salty picture of anarchic pirate life, liberated, pleasurable and violent. Rebelling against hierarchical society and choosing the Jolly Roger, pirates entered the political spheres of anarchist organization and festival, with death and violence everpresent. Pirates created an upside-down world full of heroics as well as the deep horrors of life outside authority. Examining piracy as limited social rebellion, `The Devil's Anarchy' travels from the Hollywood pirate-as-hero to the stories of two great Dutch pirates: Claes Compaen, who terrorized the seas from 1623 to 1627, and Jan Erasmus Reyning, who ruled the seas a half-century later.

The case gained international attention as community members rejected their elected officials, designed their own local government and eventually won bitter victory against both the state and the internationally financed corporation developing a golf course and country club.This work focuses on how, in a time of generalized political change in Mexico, activists blended local, national and transnational courses of identity and social change to produce political practices that allowed them to win redress of their grievances, to alter local social relations and to contribute to changes within the national political system. Here, the anti-golf movement is chronicled. Important symbolic and organizational networks within Tepoztlan that took part in the conflict are explored.The role of global influences on the community's everyday life is examined, as well as the ways in which the movement contributed to the evolution of a more democratic culture. Parallels in the more recent movement in Atenco against the construction of Mexico City's new international airport are analyzed.

Notes on when the stories were writter plus commentary from Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska, Native American poet Simon Ortiz, and Marcos himself bring the book to a rich completion. On New Years Day, 1994, the Zapatistas, wearing their trademark ski masks, erupted on the world scene by declaring war on the Mexican government and attacking San Cristobal, Chiapas. Since that time Marcos, because of his charm, intelligence and charisma, has become a post-modern revolutionary icon. It is his person, more than any other factor, that has pushed the Zapatista movement and the plight of the indigenous people in Mexico onto the international scene. Marcos continues to be the focus of media attention in Mexico, in the States, and internationally, despite the Mexican governments attempts to discredit him. Alma Guillermoprieto in The New Yorker has remarked that the most visible and critical part of the Zapatistas revolution were the letters that the Mexican press publishes regularly, particularly the long, sometimes irreverent, personified postcripts that are the Subcomandantes contribution to epistolary art. Now swaggering, now full of righteous fury, now impudent and hip, the Marcos of the postscripts is at all times both elusive and intimate, and this seductive knack has allowed him to become a faceless stand-in for all the oppressed, an anonymous vessel for all fantasies from the sexual to the bellicose, a star. In his communiqus to the Mexican people, Marcos has often related folktales that the very wise Viejo Antonio has told him, stories that reflect the culture and wisdom of the indigenous peoples of Chiapas. `Questions and Swords' contains two of those tales.

Thematisch gewohnt breit gefchert, untersucht das Team um Martin Bsser diesmal linke Mythen der Popkultur, wobei es weniger um die Zerstrung derselben als vielmehr um die Beschreibung deren Entstehung, Bedeutung und Vernderung sowie um das Aufzeigen von Schnittmengen zwischen politisch motivierten Kulturen und realen politischen Bewegungen geht. Ein interessanter Beitrag zeichnet beispielsweise nach, wie der schwule Anarcho und Ton-Steine-Scherben-Frontman Rio Reiser sptestens seit seinem Tod relativ problemlos in den deutschen Rock-Kanon aufgenommen und beinahe schon zu einem alternativen Schlagersnger umgedeutet wurde. Im krassen Gegensatz dazu trgt ein Gesprch mit dem einstigen RAF-Mitglied Irmgard Mller - sie hatte die so genannte Todesnacht von Stammheim im Gegensatz zu Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin und Jan-Carl Raspe einst schwer verletzt berlebt - den sinnigen Titel "Zur Mythenbildung nicht geeignet". Neben weiteren Beitrgen zum Dauerbrenner "RAF" spannen die Texte einen thematischen Bogen von linken deutschen Buchverlagen ber die historischen Wurzeln des aktuellen Dance-Punk-Undergrounds und den afroamerikanischen Pop der Black-Panther-ra bis zu linken Perspektiven in der Avantgarde der Sechziger- und Siebzigerjahre. Die Analyse musikalischer Subkulturen beschrnkt sich schlielich nicht nur auf die in diesem Kontext unumgnglichen Grogenres wie Punk, Reggae und Industrial, sondern es werden auch weniger gelufige Szenen beleuchtet; aktuell etwa Antifolk oder Neue Musik historisch die kompositorische (Post-) Avantgarde der Sechziger- und Siebzigerjahre.

Williams & The Roots Of Black Power 2005, 416 pag., 16.35 University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, isbn: 0807849235 This book tells the remarkable story of Robert F. Williams--one of the most influential black activists of the generation that toppled Jim Crow and forever altered the arc of American history. In the late 1950s, as president of the Monroe, North Carolina, branch of the NAACP, Williams and his followers used machine guns, dynamite, and Molotov cocktails to confront Klan terrorists. Advocating "armed self-reliance" by blacks, Williams challenged not only white supremacists but also Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights establishment. Forced to flee during the 1960s to Cuba--where he broadcast "Radio Free Dixie," a program of black politics and music that could be heard as far away as Los Angeles and New York City-and then China, Williams remained a controversial figure for the rest of his life. Historians have customarily portrayed the civil rights movement as a nonviolent call on America's conscience--and the subsequent rise of Black Power as a violent repudiation of the civil rights dream. But Radio Free Dixie reveals that both movements grew out of the same soil, confronted the same predicaments, and reflected the same quest for African American freedom. As Robert Williams's story demonstrates, independent black political action, black cultural pride, and armed self-reliance operated in the South in tension and in tandem with legal efforts and nonviolent protest.

Overal stond 'links' op het punt de macht te grijpen. Ook in Nederland waren de verwachtingen hooggespannen. Radicalen, verspreid over talloze groepen, partijen, bonden, fracties, cellen en comits, bereidden zich voor op de grote omwenteling - die niet kwam. In `Tien rode jaren' onderzoekt Antoine Verbij waar dat revolutionaire elan van de jaren zeventig vandaan kwam, waar het op stukliep en hoe het van karakter veranderde. Hij sprak met communisten, trotskisten, maosten en anarchisten over hun motieven, hun hooggestemde idealen en hun onderlinge twisten. Aan feministen, milieuactivisten, vredesbewegers, krakers en antimilitaristen vroeg hij hoe het hen na de teloorgang der ideologien is vergaan. `Tien rode jaren' biedt een bont panorama van het rijke linkse leven in die eigenlijk zo onbekende jaren zeventig.

A Polish Frenchman and a rabbi's son, Michel Warschawski left for Israel at the age of sixteen to to study the Talmud, and eventually became one of the most renowned figures of the Israeli left. Warschawski's involvement in radical politics led to inspiring alliances with Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Marxists. Yet as the border lines hardened, he became targeted by the Shin Bet, Israel's notorious intelligence agents. Finally arrested, incarcerated and interrogated for 20 days, Michel gives his readers an insider's view of the psychological and political pressures that Shin Bet brought to bear, even on Jews, and never lets you forget the severity of treatment that his Palestinian colleagues faced. In touch with the Jewish diaspora, and inspired by a socialism without borders, the book mixes sharp analysis of the

ongoing conflict with deep personal insight into the events of the last three decades.

In Otto Wenzels Buch "1923 Die gescheiterte Deutsche Oktoberrevolution" wird ein weier Fleck im historischen Gedchtnis der Deutschen getilgt: der gescheiterte Griff der sowjetischen Fhrung nach der politischen Macht in Deutschland. Das Politbro der Kommunistischen Partei Russlands beschloss ber die Kpfe der deutschen Parteifhrer hinweg einen bewaffneten Aufstand der KPD, und Kriegskommissar Trotzki war bereit, mit der Roten Armee einzurcken, sobald er in Gang gekommen war.

She talked and thought on paper - her letters were a large part of the drama of her life. In them she grows from an awkward child of 14 to a woman of 38 facing death in childbirth. At different times they reveal her very modern desire to reconcile the irreconcilable: integrity and sexual longing, the needs and duties of a woman, motherhood and intellectual life, fame and domesticity, and reason and passion. Written on the hoof in cramped lodgings or swaying boats, the wilds of Scandinavia or freezing Paris, they form an extensive autobiographical document.

Desde 1989 las viejas formas de lucha haban perdido su relevancia; la nica opcin fue encontrar nuevas formas para llevar adelante un cambio social, que no puede esperar al futuro, como estos movimientos dejaron en claro. La lucha contra el capital es al mismo tiempo la construccin de un mundo alternativo, no hay trminos medios (construccin del partido, conquista del poder) entre los dos procesos. En este proceso, el desarrollo de redes alternativas de produccin y consumo asentadas en un concepto diferente de trabajo es de crucial importancia. Este es un rasgo central de la lucha de los piqueteros (John Holloway).

Baskenland en ook de aanhangers hiervan hebben maar n ding voor ogen: onafhankelijkheid. In `Zonen van Noach' laat Cees Zoon zien hoezeer het nationalisme het dagelijks leven in de deelstaat heeft ontwricht. Alles is ervan doordrongen, van de politiek tot de cultuur, van de media tot het voetbal. Andersdenkenden wordt het leven onmogelijk gemaakt. De nationalistische, door rassentheorien genspireerde politici behandelen de Spanjolen als tweederangsburgers. Maar het door de nationalisten aanbeden Baskenland is een verzonnen land. Als staat heeft het nooit bestaan, het is een constructie die volledig uit de literatuur komt. Een mengeling van mythen en sterke verhalen die de pretentie heeft geschiedenis te zijn.
