Guillermo Rebollo Gil, Ana G. Méndez University, USA

Here, Guillermo R Gil examines the social construction of whiteness on the island, using the study of American racism to inform his analysis of Puerto Rican racism and the two culturally distinct, yet intrinsically linked, spaces Examining the work of Puerto Rican activists, writers and artists, Gil documents the ways in which whiteness shapes and informs Puerto Rican cultural producers while simultaneously being challenged by them Cross-disciplinary in approach, Whiteness in Puerto Rico speaks to the present political moment in a country marked by austerity, disaster capitalism and protest

August in Kabul

America's Last Days in Afghanistan

Andrew Quilty, independent journalist

This is the story of how America's longest mission came to an abrupt and humiliating end, told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down: a young woman who harbours dreams of a university education; a presidential staffer watching as the government collapses around him; and a prisoner in Bagram Prison who finds himself free when prison guards abandon their post Andrew Quilty was one of only a handful of Western journalists who stayed in Kabul as the city fell. This is his firsthand account of those dramatic final days.

Remembering the Great War in the Middle East

From Turkey and Armenia to Australia and New Zealand

Edited by Hans-Lukas Kieser, University of Zurich, Switzerland, Thomas Schmutz, University of Zurich, Switzerland & Pearl Nunn, University of Newcastle, UK

In Australia and New Zealand, and in the post-Ottoman Middle East, the memory of the First World War still has an immediacy that it has long lost in Europe This volume analyses myths and memories of the war in these countries, showing how and why differing historiographies have developed The book reaches towards a new conceptualization of the “long last Ottoman decade” (1912-22), one that places this era and its actors more firmly at the centre of a history of a Greater Europe, a history comprising – as contemporary maps showed – Europe, Russia, and the Ottoman world

The History of Water in the Land Once Called Palestine

Scarcity, Conflict and Loss in Middle East Water Resources

Christopher Ward, Sandra Ruckstuhl, International Water Management Institute & Isabelle Learmont

Shared water resources in Israel and Palestine are often the site of political, economic, historical, legal and ethical contestation This book looks beyond the political tensions of the region, to argue for the need for shared water security and co-operative resource management The study traces the history of water resources and their development from the Ottoman period until 2020, examining how the state of water security between Palestinians and Israelis has diverged, resulting in the current success of Israeli water security in contrast to the high water insecurity experienced by Palestinians

Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language

James Griffiths, CNN International

In Speak Not, James Griffiths reports from the frontlines of the battle to preserve minority languages, from his native Wales, to Hawaii and indigenous American nations, southern China and Hong Kong He explores the revival of the Welsh language as a blueprint for how to ensure new generations are not robbed of their linguistic heritage, outlines how loss of indigenous languages is the direct result of colonialism and globalisation, and examines how technology is both hindering and aiding the fight to prevent linguistic extinction

Back to Black

Black Radicalism for the 21st Century Kehinde Andrews, Birmingham City University, UK

Back to Black lays out the long, powerful and painful history of Black radical politics Kehinde Andrews shows how Black radicalism has been diluted and moderated over time; wilfully misrepresented and caricatured by others; divested of its legacy, potency, and force

Immensely readable and shocking, Andrews traces the true roots of this tradition in this new edition, and connects the dots to today’s struggles by showing what a renewed politics of Black radicalism might look like in the 21st century

The Infodemic

Disinformation, Geopolitics and the Covid-19 Pandemic

Gabriele Cosentino, American University in Cairo, Egypt

Based on original research combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, Gabriele Cosentino discusses the Covid-19 ‘infodemic’ by drawing on studies of post-truth and disinformation, and framing the issue as a primarily geopolitical concept Cosentino demonstrates how disinformation warfare around Covid-19 is occurring at multiple levels within the social and political bodies of prominent global players such as the United States, Russia, the European Union and China, which have all been dramatically impacted by the pandemic in economic and political terms

Utopia as Methodology

Edited by Teppo Eskelinen,

University of Jyväskylä, Finland

The Revival of Political Imagination offers a unique examination of the methodological aspects of utopia Discussing utopia as a tool for social criticism, method and imaginative spaces - rather than in terms of its content - this volume analyses the function of utopias, to develop utopias as methodology and to show how instrumental utopian modes of thought can be in such diverse fields such as education, labour, and housing.
