For a radical publisher like Pluto, 2017 marks a number of significant anniversaries. One hundred years after the event, Neil Faulkner’s A People’s History of the Russian Revolution depicts the revolution as an explosion of democracy and creativity from below. That revolution may not have taken place if not for the publication of Karl Marx’s great work Capital. On its 150 th anniversary, Marcello Musto digs through the archives to masterfully reconstruct The Formation of Marx’s ‘Capital’, while the acclaimed authors of Reading ‘Capital’ Today look back at Marx’s study from the vantage point of the present. And it seems a fitting time for the gorgeous new edition of The Communist Manifesto, with an essential new foreword by Jodi Dean. This year is also the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration and the 50th of the 1967 war. Our new books include Palestine’s Horizon from former UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk and The Unchosen by Mya Guarnieri Jaradat, which in very different ways examine the legacy of these events in Israel/Palestine today. We are also excited to be publishing the complete English translation of Mario Mieli’s prescient (and still provocative) Towards a Gay Communism, and a crucial career-spanning collection from the pathbreaking scholar Ella Shohat. Finally, for those looking for a lighter touch, musician and activist Dave Randall brings us Sound System: The Political Power of Music. Happy reading! David Shulman, Commissioning Editor

Sound System
The Political Power of Music Dave Randall Series: Left Book Club Musicians have often wanted to change the world. From underground grime artists to pop icons, many have believed in the political power of music. Rulers recognise it too. Music has been used to unsettle the most fundamental political and social conventions, or prop up the status-quo. Sound System is the story of one musician’s journey to discover what makes music so powerful. Years of touring, playing and protesting have given Dave Randall a unique insider’s view of the music industry, enabling him to shed light on the secrets of celebrity, commodification and culture. He finds remarkable examples of music as a force of social change as well as something that has been used to keep people in their place throughout history. This is a book of raves, riots and revolution. From the Glastonbury Festival to the Arab Spring, Pop Idol to Trinidadian Carnival, Randall finds political inspiration across the musical spectrum and poses the question: how can we make music serve the interest of the many, rather than the few? DAVE RANDALL is a musician and activist. He has toured the world playing
guitar with Faithless, Dido, Sinead O’Connor and many others.

New Title - 100 years of the Russian Revolution
A People’s History of the Russian Revolution
Neil Faulkner Series: Left Book Club The Russian Revolution may well be the most misunderstood event in modern history. In A People's History of the Russian Revolution, Neil Faulkner sets out to debunk the myths. In this fast-paced introduction to the tumultuous events, the Russian people are the heroes. Faulkner shows how a mass movement of millions, organised in democratic assemblies, mobilised for militant action, destroyed a regime of landlords, profiteers and warmongers. Faulkner rejects caricatures of Lenin and the Bolsheviks as authoritarian conspirators, ‘democratic-centralists’ or the progenitors of Stalinist dictatorship. He argues that the Russian Revolution was an explosion of democracy and creativity – and that it was crushed by bloody counter-revolution and replaced with a monstrous form of bureaucratic state-capitalism. Laced with first-hand testimony, this history seeks to rescue the democratic essence of the revolution from its detractors and deniers, offering a perfect primer for the modern reader. NEIL FAULKNER is a leading Marxist historian. A Research Fellow at the
University of Bristol, he is the author of numerous books, including A Marxist History of the World: from Neanderthals to Neoliberals (Pluto, 2013) and Lawrence of Arabia’s War (Yale, 2016). He appears regularly on TV and was a lead consultant on Sky Atlantic’s The British series.

Voices from the ‘Jungle’
Stories from the Calais Refugee Camp Calais Writers Often called the ‘Jungle’, the refugee camp in Northern France epitomises for many the suffering, uncertainty and violence which characterises refugees’ situation in Europe today. But the media soundbites we hear ignore the voices of the people living there – people who have travelled to Europe from conflict-torn countries such as Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan and Eritrea: people with astounding stories, who are looking for peace. Voices from the ‘Jungle’ is a collection of these stories. Through its pages, the refugees speak to us in powerful, vivid language. They reveal their childhood dreams and struggles for education; the genocides, wars and persecution that drove them from their homes; their terror and strength during their extraordinary journeys. They expose the reality of living in the camp; tell of their lives after the ‘Jungle’ and their hopes for the future. Through their stories, the refugees paint a picture of a different kind of ‘Jungle’: one with a powerful sense of community despite evictions and attacks, and of a solidarity which crosses national and religious boundaries. Illustrated with photographs and drawings by the writers, and interspersed with poems, this book must be read by everyone seeking to understand the human consequences of this world crisis.

‘An indispensable, pioneering example of the long, difficult effort to articulate queer struggle with anti-capitalist struggle, and especially to understand the way in which sexuality can figure into the imagination of communism’
First published in Italian in 1977, Mario Mieli's groundbreaking book is an early landmark of revolutionary queer theory – now available for the first time in a complete and unabridged English translation. Among the most important works ever to address the relationship between homosexuality, homophobia and capitalism, Mieli’s essay continues to pose a radical challenge to today’s dominant/mainstream queer theory and politics. With extraordinary prescience, Mieli exposes the efficiency with which capitalism co-opts 'perversions' which are then ‘sold both wholesale and retail’. In his view, the liberation of homosexual desire requires the emancipation of sexuality from both patriarchal sex roles and capital. Drawing heavily upon Marx and psychoanalysis to arrive at a dazzlingly original vision, Towards a Gay Communism is a hitherto neglected classic that will be essential reading for all who seek to understand the true meaning of sexual liberation under capitalism today. MARIO MIELI was a leading figure in the Italian gay movement of the
1970s, respected as one of the movement’s most profound intellectuals. He committed suicide in 1983 at the age of 30.

Delirium and Resistance
Activist Art and the Crisis of Capitalism Gregory Sholette, edited by Kim Charnley. Foreword by Lucy R. Lippard Capitalist crises do not begin within art, but art reflects and even amplifies their effects. The dizzying prices achieved by artists who pander to the financial elites, the proliferation of museums that contribute to the global competition between cities to attract capital, and the strange relationship between art and the rampant gentrification that restructures the urban landscape: these are the obvious features of art’s subservience to capitalism. There is a flipside, however, which shows art playing an increasingly important role in resistance to austerity and the prefiguration of a different world. Delirium and Resistance engages in critical dialogue with artists’ collectives, counter-institutions and activist groups, while reflecting on the inequalities of neoliberal culture. It draws on over thirty years of critical debates and practices both in and beyond the art world to historicise and advocate for the art activist tradition that radically entangles the visual arts with political struggles. GREGORY SHOLETTE is a New York City based artist, writer and core
member of the activist art collective Gulf Labor Coalition. He is the author of It’s The Political Economy, Stupid (Pluto, 2013), co-edited with Oliver Ressler, and Dark Matter: Art and Politics in an Age of Enterprise Culture (Pluto, 2010). He currently teaches in the Queens College Art Department, City University of New York. KIM CHARNLEY is a UK-based art theorist and art historian whose work
examines the relationship between politics and contemporary art.

Toussaint Louverture A Black Jacobin in the Age of Revolutions Charles Forsdick and Christian Høgsbjerg Series: Revolutionary Lives ‘In overthrowing me, you have done no more than cut down the trunk of the tree of liberty - it will spring back from the roots, for they are numerous and deep.’ - Toussaint Louverture

The leader of the only successful slave revolt in history, Toussaint Louverture is seen by many to be one of the greatest anti-imperialist fighters who ever lived. Born into slavery on a Caribbean plantation, he was able to break from his bondage to lead an army of freed African slaves to victory against the professional armies of France, Spain and Britain in the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804. In this biography, Louverture’s fascinating life is explored through the prism of his radical politics. It champions this ‘black Robespierre’ whose revolutionary legacy had inspired people and movements in the two centuries since his death. For anyone interested in the roots of modern-day resistance movements and black political radicalism, Louverture’s extraordinary life provides the perfect starting point.

The Violence of Austerity
Edited by Vickie Cooper and David Whyte Austerity - a response to the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2008 continues to devastate contemporary Britain. In The Violence of Austerity, Vickie Cooper and David Whyte bring together the voices of campaigners and academics to show that rather than stimulating economic growth, austerity policies have led to a dismantling of the social systems that operated as a buffer against economic hardship. The book frames austerity as a form of institutional violence that is more socially harmful and far-reaching than other (more politicised) forms of violence. Exposing a range of highly significant cases of institutional violence in British public life, the contributors argue that police attacks on the homeless, violent evictions in the rented sector, the risks faced by people on workfare schemes, community violence in Northern Ireland and cuts to the regulation of social protection, are all being driven by austerity and reductions in public sector funding. The end result is an authoritative, encyclopaedic study of the myriad ways in which austerity policies harm people in Britain. VICKIE COOPER is a Lecturer in Criminology at the Open University where
she is Co-Director of HERC (Harm and Evidence Research Collaborative) and researches issues related to homelessness, the criminal justice system, housing and eviction. Vickie works with a number of organisations including Women in Prison, Revolving Doors and St Paul's welfare rights charity. DAVID WHYTE is Professor of Socio-Legal Studies at the University of

‘As a force for change, its influence has been surpassed only by the Bible. As a piece of writing, it is a masterpiece’ GUARDIAN
The Communist Manifesto is arguably the world's most influential political manuscript. Surviving through countless decades of revolution and counter-revolution, Marx and Engels' iconic work remains relevant to this day, providing a solution for the peoples' liberation as they struggle under conditions of extreme oppression worldwide. Fiery and alarmingly well-written, this is a call-to-arms for anyone who is engaged in the movement to expose and overthrow the continuation of crisis-ridden capitalism. This collectible edition includes a new introduction by Jodi Dean and an afterword by David Harvey. KARL MARX was born in 1818. In 1848 he collaborated with Friedrich
Engels in writing The Communist Manifesto. Expelled from Prussia in the same year, Marx took up residence first in Paris and then in London where, in 1867, he published his magnum opus Capital. A co-founder of the International Workingmen's Association in 1864, Marx died in London in 1883. FRIEDRICH ENGELS was born in 1820. He moved to England in 1842 to
work in his father's Manchester textile firm. After joining the fight against the counter-revolution in Germany in 1848 he returned to Manchester and the family business. In subsequent years he provided financial support for Marx and edited the second and third volumes of Capital. He died in 1895.

Black Skin, White Masks
NEW EDITION
Frantz Fanon New foreword by Paul Gilroy This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first English translation. Black Skin, White Masks is the classic, devastating account of the dehumanising effects of colonisation experienced by black subjects living in the white world. With beautiful, angry prose, Frantz Fanon provides an unsurpassed study of the psychology of racism using scientific analysis and poetic grace. Fanon’s writings have been read and emulated by black radical thinkers - from Malcolm X to Eldridge Cleaver, and movements from the Black Panther Party to Black Lives Matter. First published in English in 1967, Black Skin, White Masks remains the cornerstone to our understanding of the formation of modern black identity and its revolutionary consciousness. This new edition will bring Fanon’s writing to a new, wider readership. This stunning new edition includes a new introduction by Paul Gilroy. FRANTZ FANON (1925 – 1961) was an author, psychoanalyst and
revolutionary from Martinique. He was the pre-eminent thinker of the twentieth century on the issue of decolonisation and the psychopathology of colonisation, and his works have inspired anti-colonial liberation movements for over half a century. He is also the author of the classic The Wretched of the Earth (Penguin Classics, 2011).

Praise for previous works:
‘Abdullah Öcalan seems to have done a better job writing with the extremely limited resources allowed him by his jailers than authors like Francis Fukuyama or Jared Diamond did with access to the world’s finest research libraries’ DAVID GRAEBER Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics
These are the essential writings of a man who inspired a new, egalitarian socialist regime in the Middle East, which is currently fighting for survival against religious extremism and state violence. Abdullah Öcalan led the struggle for Kurdish liberation for more than 20 years until his capture in 1999. Now, writing from prison in Turkey, he has inspired a new political movement. Called Democratic Confederalism, this revolutionary model is developing on the ground in parts of Syria and Turkey; it represents an alternative to religious sectarianism, patriarchy, capitalism and chauvinistic nationalism, providing the blueprint for a burgeoning radical democratic society. This selection of Öcalan’s writings is an indispensable introduction for anyone wanting to engage with his political ideas. His central concepts address the Kurdish question, gender, Democratic Confederalism and the future of the nation. With The Political Thought of Abdullah Öcalan, his most influential ideas can now be considered and debated in the light of his continuing legacy, most notably in the ongoing revolution in Rojava. ABDULLAH ÖCALAN actively led the Kurdish liberation struggle as the
head of the PKK from its foundation in 1978 until his abduction on 15 February 1999. He is still regarded as a leading strategist and the most important political representative of the Kurdish freedom movement. Under isolation conditions at Imrali Island Prison, he has authored more than ten books which have revolutionised Kurdish politics.

On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements
Selected Writings of Ella Shohat Ella Shohat Spanning several decades, Ella Shohat’s work has introduced conceptual frameworks that fundamentally challenged conventional understandings of Palestine, Zionism and the Middle East, focusing on the pivotal figure of the Arab-Jew. This book gathers together her most influential political essays, interviews, speeches, testimonies and memoirs. as well as previously unpublished material. Defying the binarist and Eurocentric Arab-versus-Jew rendering of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Shohat’s work has dared to engage with the deeper historical and cultural questions swirling around colonialism, Orientalism and nationalism. Shohat’s paradigm-shifting work unpacks such fraught issues as the anomalies of the national/ colonial in Zionist discourse; the narrating of Jewish pasts in Muslim spaces; the links and distinctions between the dispossession of the Nakba and the dislocation of Arab-Jews; the traumatic memories triggered by partition and border-crossing; the echoes within Islamophobia of the anti-Semitic figure of ‘the Jew’; and the efforts to imagine a possible future inter-communal ‘convivencia’. Shohat’s transdisciplinary perspective illuminates the cultural politics in and around the Middle East. Juxtaposing texts of various genres written in divergent contexts, the book offers a vivid sense of the author’s intellectual journey. ELLA SHOHAT is an Iraqi Israeli living, writing and teaching in the US. She
is Professor of Cultural Studies at New York University, and the author of Israeli Cinema: East/West and the Politics of Representation (IB Tauris; revised ed, 2010) and Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices (Duke University Press, 2006) amongst other books.

‘Musto has set the gold standard for Marxological studies in the modern era’ BERTELL OLLMAN Professor of Politics at New York University
Despite being among the most important books of the last 150 years, Karl Marx's Capital represents an incomplete project. In this new book, renowned scholar Marcello Musto aims to reconstruct the development of Marx's critique of political economy in the light of newly available notebooks – published in the recent German edition of Marx's complete writings (Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe) to provide the fullest account yet of the formation of Marx's thought. Through the intimate study of these notebooks, Musto revives debate on Capital - a work that has inspired and guided generations of people looking to change the world. Indeed, on the 150th anniversary of its publication, Capital’s continuing relevance is clear, with economists and political activists turning to its lessons in the wake of the international financial crisis. The Formation of Marx’s ‘Capital’ will also carefully consider some of the most important Marxist debates of the twentieth century. Did Engels oversimplify Marx? How limiting are Marxist-Leninist readings? And is it possible to produce a new reading of Marx for our time? Ultimately, Musto’s analysis offers a distinctive account of the genesis of Marx’s thought, with important implications for Marxist studies but also for the refounding of critical thought that aims to transform the present. MARCELLO MUSTO is Associate Professor of Sociological Theory at York
University, Toronto. He is the author of The Workers Unite!: The International 150 Years Later (Bloomsbury, 2014) and edited Marx for Today and The International after 150 Years: Labor vs Capital, Then and Now (Routledge, 2015). His work has been translated into many languages including Korean, Spanish, Farsi, Chinese, Japanese and French.

New Title - 150 years of ‘Capital’
Reading ‘Capital’ Today
Edited by Ingo Schmidt and Carlo Fanelli Recent years have seen a surge of interest in Marxian political economy and especially Marx’s great work Capital. 150 years after the book’s original publication, are there readings of Capital that can help us find new pathways to progressive or revolutionary change? In this wide-ranging new volume, leading thinkers reflect on Capital’s legacy, its limitations and its continuing relevance for today, highlighting issues including ecology, gender, race, labour, communism, the ‘Third World’ and imperialism. The contributors also aim to identify the connections between Capital and various socialist projects of the past, and draw lessons from those experiences that might contribute to the reinvention of socialist politics today. Contributors include: Ingo Schmidt, Beverly Silver, Carlo Fanelli, Jeff Noonan, Paul Thompson, Chris Smith, Prabhat Patnaik, Hannah Holleman, Silvia Federici, Nancy Fraser, Peter Gose, Justin Paulson, William Pelz, Anej Korsika, Vijay Prashad, Geoffrey McCormick and Peter Hudis. INGO SCHMIDT is academic coordinator of the Labour Studies Program
at Athabasca University, Canada. His research focuses on international political economy and labour movements. His recent books include Rosa Luxemburg’s Accumulation of Capital (VSAVerlag, 2013) and The Three Worlds of Social Democracy (Pluto Press, 2016).

‘Richard Falk boldly confronts, with careful analysis and nuanced judgements, the most important issue of our time’ HOWARD ZINN Author of A People’s History of the United States (Harper Perennial, 2015)
Richard Falk, former UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine (20082014), has dedicated much of his life to the study of the Israel/ Palestine conflict. In Palestine's Horizon, he brings his experiences to bear on one of the most controversial issues of our times. This book explores the intricacies and interconnections of the history and politics of Israel/Palestine, in light of the global community’s troubled morality. After enduring years of violent occupation, the Palestinian movement is exploring different avenues for peace. These include the pursuit of rights under international law in venues such as the UN and International Criminal Court, and the new emphasis on global solidarity and non-violent militancy embodied by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign, among others. Falk refutes the notion that the Palestinian struggle is a ‘lost cause’ by focusing on new tactics of resistance. He also reflects on the legacy of Edward Said, drawing on the importance of his humanist thought. Against this background, he provides a vision of peace that is mindful of the formidable difficulties of achieving a just solution to the long conflict. RICHARD FALK is one of the leading voices on the Israel/Palestine
conflict. He was the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine (2008-2014). He is Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University and a Research Fellow in Global Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He is the author of over twenty books including Chaos and Counterrevolution: After the Arab Spring (Zed Books, 2015).

The Unchosen
Non-Jews in the Jewish State Mya Guarnieri Jaradat Drawing on a decade of courageous and pioneering reporting, Mya Guarnieri Jaradat brings us an unprecedented and compelling look at the lives of asylum seekers and migrant workers in Israel, who hail mainly from Africa and Asia. From illegal kindergartens to anti-immigrant rallies, from detention centres to workers’ living quarters, from family homes to the high court, The Unchosen sheds light on one of the most little-known but increasingly significant aspects of Israeli society. In highlighting Israel’s harsh and worsening treatment of these newcomers, The Unchosen presents a fresh angle on the Israel-Palestine conflict, calling into question the state’s perennial justification for mistreatment of Palestinians: ‘national security’. More fundamentally, this beautifully written book captures the voices and the struggles of some of the most marginalised and silenced people in Israel today. MYA GUARNIERI JARADAT is a journalist and writer who spent nearly a
decade covering Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Her work has been published in a number of literary and media outlets, including The Nation, Al Jazeera English, Foreign Policy, Guardian and Boston Review.

‘If you have ever wondered what happened to the beacon of hope that was, until recently, Latin America, this is the book to turn to’ ANDREAS MALM
In this penetrating volume, Jeffery Webber explains the political dynamics and conflicts underpinning the contradictory evolution of left-wing governments and social movements in Latin America in the last two decades. Throughout the 2000s, Latin America transformed itself into the leading edge of anti-neoliberal resistance in the world. What is left of the Pink Tide today? What is the governments’ relationship to the explosive social movements that propelled them to power? As China's demand slackens for Latin American commodities, will they continue to rely on natural resource extraction? Webber grounds his study in an analysis of trends in capitalist accumulation from 1990 to 2015, in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Venezuela. He explains inequality there today through a decolonial Marxist framework, rooted in a new understanding of class and its complex associations with racial and gender oppression. He also discusses indigenous and peasant resistance to the expansion of private mining, agro-industry and natural gas and oil activities. The book concludes with chapters on ‘passive revolution’ in Bolivia under Evo Morales and debates around dual power and class composition during the era of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. JEFFERY R. WEBBER is Senior Lecturer in the School of Politics and International Relations, Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of Red October and From Rebellion to Reform in Bolivia. With Todd Gordon, he is co-author of Blood of Extraction: Canadian Imperialism in Latin America (Fernwood, 2016).

The Latino Question
Politics, Laboring Classes and the Next Left Rodolfo D. Torres, Armando Ibarra and Alfredo Carlos. Foreword by Mike Davis While so many Latino Americans struggle in pursuit of the ‘American dream’, only to find themselves hostage to its reality, while figures such as Donald Trump are increasingly accepted in mainstream politics, and scaremongering and paranoia is rife, the need for a vivid, empirically grounded study on Latino politics, culture and social issues has never been greater. The Latino Question fulfils this need, offering a cutting-edge overview and analysis of the transformative nature of Latino politics in the US. In a radical alternative to dominant ideas, the authors emphasise the importance of political economy for understanding Latino politics, culture and social issues. Accessible and in-depth, the book draws from extensive original research and a number of critical traditions including the thought of Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault, to make the crucial links between socio-economic and culture-based approaches for understanding the politics of race and ethnicity in capitalist society. Presenting evidence of how some in Latino communities across the US are not only resisting, but also reinventing and transforming market-driven ethnic politics in the age of neoliberalism, this book will be required reading for all those hoping to understand the ‘Latino question’ in contemporary America.

Belonging is both a fundamental human emotion and a political project that affects millions. The EU, since its 1957 origins, has encouraged people in its member states to feel a sense of belonging to one European community, with mixed results. Today, faced with the fracturing impacts of the migration crisis, the threat of terrorism and rising inter-communal tensions, Brussels and individual governments within and outside the EU seek to impose rigid senses of belonging on their populations through policies of exclusion and bordering. In this collection of original essays, a diverse group of novelists, journalists and academics reflect affectingly on their own paradoxical senses of belonging. In creative and disarming ways, they confront the challenges of nationalism, populism, racism and fundamentalism. The result is a book that offers fascinating insights into such questions as: Why fear growing diversity? Is there a European identity? Who determines who belongs? Is a single sense of ‘good’ belonging in Europe dangerous? This timely collection provides a unique commentary on an insufficiently understood defining phenomenon of our age. Authors include: Zia Haider Rahman, Goran Rosenberg, Isolde Charim, Hanno Loewy, Diana Pinto and Doron Rabinovici, among others. ANTONY LERMAN is a Senior Fellow of the Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue in Vienna. He has written on multiculturalism, racism, antisemitism and Israel/Palestine for the Guardian, Independent, New York Times, London Review of Books, Prospect, The Nation, New Statesman and Haaretz. He is the author of The Making and Unmaking of a Zionist: A Personal and Political Journey (Pluto, 2012).

We Will Not Be Silenced
The Academic Repression of Israel’s Critics Edited by William I. Robinson and Maryam S. Griffin. Foreword by Cynthia McKinney This book is a collection of first-hand testimonials by scholars and students in the United States who have been targeted for persecution by the Israel lobby over the content of their teaching, scholarship and activism with regards to the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the Palestinian freedom struggle. As criticism continues to mount over Israel's violation of Palestinian human rights and of international law, campaigns to silence and repress those who speak out against Israeli apartheid and US complicity have grown alarmingly. College and university campuses across the United States now find themselves at the centre stage of this conflict over free speech: scholars have been turned away from jobs, denied tenure and promotion, rejected for funding, and expelled from institutions, while student organisations have faced harassment and sanctions. We Will Not Be Silenced contains thirteen testimonials from scholars and students from a variety of backgrounds, whose struggle to defend their academic freedom and free speech has garnered widespread public and international attention. WILLIAM I. ROBINSON is Professor of Sociology, Global Studies, and Latin American Studies, at the University of California-Santa Barbara. He has lectured widely at universities around the world on contemporary global affairs and is active in several social justice movements. Among his many award-winning books are Global Capitalism and the Crisis of Humanity (2014), and Latin America and Global Capitalism (2008). MARYAM S.

‘I know of no previous work which has so skillfully presented the fluctuating state of the mood of the ‘masses’ in the Russian capital in those fateful months’ LEONARD SHAPIRO New York Review of Books
The Bolsheviks Come to Power is one of the most important histories of the Russian Revolution to challenge the mainstream narratives. Originally published to great acclaim in 2004, this new edition marks the 100th anniversary of one of the explosive and game-changing moments in modern times. In this absorbing narrative, Alexander Rabinowitch counters the claims by mainstream historians that the revolution was a military coup led by Lenin and a small band of fanatics. He refutes the Soviet myth that the party’s triumph in the October Revolution was inevitable, and explains the ebbs and flows of the revolutionary period, tracing the moods of the working class and the political positions of the Bolsheviks at different historical moments, including the immediate aftermath of the February Revolution, the July Days, the Kornilov affair, and up to and including the October Revolution itself. Drawn from a wealth of primary sources and archival material, this new edition of Rabinowitch’s classic account is a must-have for anyone interested in clearing away the tired platitudes of mainstream historians, and reclaiming the revolution on this important anniversary. ALEXANDER RABINOWITCH was Professor of History at Indiana
University from 1968 until 1999, and an Affiliated Research Scholar at St. Petersburg Institute of History, Russian Academy of Sciences since 2013. He is the author of Prelude to Revolution: The Petrograd Bolsheviks and the July 1917 Uprising (Indiana University Press, 1991), and The Bolsheviks in Power: The First Year of Soviet Rule in Petrograd (Indiana University Press, 2008). He is also the co-editor of Russia in the Era of NEP.

Double Crossed The Failure of American Organized Crime Control Michael Woodiwiss Gangsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano are infamous as figureheads of organized crime, which has become synonymous with a small number of giant, hierarchically structured criminal groups such as the Mafia. However, in Double Crossed, Michael Woodiwiss challenges perpetuated mythologies to reveal a more disturbing side to organized crime, one in which government officials and the wider establishment are deeply complicit. Like the War on Drugs, the US’s organized crime control policies are mired in deception and corruption. They have not worked, except as a cloak for repressive government action. Despite this, the US, allied with the UK and other G7 nations exported those policies to other parts of the world, whose kleptocrats and gangsters then washed much of their illegal profits through western financial institutions. Woodiwiss reveals the contribution of organized criminality to the 1929 and 2008 global economic meltdowns and the subsequent cover-ups of corporate corruption. He explains the destructive rise of prison gangs as a direct consequence of the US government’s wars against organized crime, amongst many other elements. This book is a revealing and disturbing look at a criminal double-standard in the international establishment.

This book sets out to challenge this by establishing the historical context that resulted in humanism’s eclipse, critiquing anti-humanism, and exploring alternative, neglected traditions and possible new directions. Humanism is a diverse and complex tradition that may facilitate the renewal of progressive theory through the championing of human subjectivity, agency and freedom. Across four extended essays, David Alderson, Kevin Anderson, Barbara Epstein and Robert Spencer engage critically with the Marxist tradition, recent developments in poststructuralism, postcolonialism and queer theory.

Rubbish Theory
SECOND EDITION
The Creation and Destruction of Value Michael Thompson. Foreword by Joshua O. Reno How do objects that are of little worth become valuable? In Rubbish Theory, Michael Thompson argues that there are two mutually exclusive cultural categories that are socially imposed on the world of objects: a transient category and a durable category. However, he identifies a ‘region of flexibility’, where a transient object, which declines in value and life span, can in fact linger on in a valueless and timeless limbo of ‘rubbish’, until it is discovered by a creative individual and transferred across into the durable category. Who are the people who are able to affect this value-creating transfer, and which types of people feel at home with transient objects, durable objects and rubbish objects? Thompson links stability and change on the one hand, with materiality on the other, providing a rich analysis of social and cultural dynamics. First published in 1979, this book has become a classic in its field. This second edition includes a new introduction, preface, foreword and afterword, which describes Rubbish Theory’s huge influence across the arts and social sciences - from cultural studies to anthropology - over the four decades since it was first published, placing it in a contemporary context that shines light on the relevance of the book today.

Revolutionary Learning explores the Marxist and feminist theorisation of dialectics, praxis and consciousness in education and learning. Moving beyond previous books on Marxism and education, this groundbreaking text explores the core philosophical concepts that build the Marxist analysis of learning, extending its critique with significant implications for critical education scholarship, research and practice by drawing upon work by feminist, anti-racist and anticolonial scholars. The authors reconsider the contributions of Marx, Gramsci and Freire to educational theory from an explicitly feminist perspective, moving Marxist analysis of education into a more complex relation to patriarchal and imperialist capitalism. The authors’ distinctive approach moves beyond other Marxian analyses which focus on the reproductive nature of schooling and educational institutions, by expanding theorisation into domains of radical and revolutionary educational praxis. Revolutionary Learning’s importance lies not only in its contribution to theory, but its extension into pedagogical practice with special attention to how a revolutionary critique of ideology is taken up by educators in their daily work.

What is Islamophobia? Racism, Social Movements and the State Edited by Narzanin Massoumi, Tom Mills and David Miller As racist undercurrents in many western societies become ever-more manifestly entrenched, the prevalence of Islamophobia - and the need to understand what perpetuates it - has never been greater. Critiquing the arguments found in notionally left accounts and addressing the limitations of existing responses, What is Islamophobia? demonstrates that Islamophobia is not simply a product of abstract, or discursive, ideological processes, but of concrete social, political and cultural action undertaken in the pursuit of certain interests, that puts the infrastructure of subordination in its place. The book’s theoretical framework centres on what the editors refer to as the ‘five pillars of Islamophobia’: the institutions and machinery of the state; the far right, incorporating the counterjihad movement; the neoconservative movement; the transnational Zionist movement; and assorted liberal groupings including the pro-war left, and the new atheist movement. The book concludes with reflections on existing strategies for tackling Islamophobia, considering what their distinctive approaches mean for fighting back.

Science and technology are playing increasingly important roles in our lives. New projects in development today will fundamentally shape the world around us, and manipulate our lived experience. But how and why are such important scientific and technological projects chosen, and what are the consequences of this process? In this book, Kate O’Riordan unpicks this crucial question. She discovers that many objects, such as genomes and genomic projects, smart grids, de-extinction projects and biosensors cannot be granted scientific legitimacy and developed without extraordinary amounts of media, public relations, celebrity endorsements and private investment. As a result of these filters, only certain projects take centre stage when it comes to funding and political attention. O’Riordan calls these ‘unreal objects’, or, scientific projects and technologies where utopian visions for the future are combined with investment and materialisation in the here and now. This attention to these unreal objects hides many current social issues, especially injustices and inequalities. They cast shadows in which experience is lived, while at the same time they conjure utopian visions for how life might be lived. KATE O’RIORDAN is a Reader in Digital Media at the University of Sussex. Her research is on cultural studies of emerging technologies, from the web in the 1990s to genome editing in 2014. She has authored or edited five books including The Genome Incorporated: Constructing Biodigital Identity (Routledge, 2016).

Kurdish Hizbullah in Turkey Islamism, Violence and the State Mehmet Kurt Series: State Crime This study analyses Kurdish Hizbullah as a social movement and investigates this biggest Kurdish Islamist group by means of ethnographic fieldwork in their daily lives. As opposed to Hizbullah in Lebanon, whose followers are mainly adherents of the Shiite sect of Islam, Hizbullah in Turkey is populated by Sunnis, more specifically by Shafii Kurds. Mehmet Kurt charts the development of a particularly powerful Islamist social movement – Kurdish Hizbullah - from its origins in violent militancy to a more ‘civic’ mode of engagement, an engagement which nonetheless provides a rationale for disenchanted young Islamists to engage in political violence. It offers a unique insight into Kurdish Hizbullah, its political rise and the apparent power of Islamism amongst Kurds in the region, particularly in a context in which the leftist Kurdish political movement is the hegemonic political discourse. Through ethnographic field work and extensive interviews with members, leaders and supporters of Hizbullah, Kurt reveals the manner in which Islamic civil society has taken root in a region where ethnic identity has been the primary organising tool against a repressive and violent state. DR. MEHMET KURT studied Theology and Islamic Studies, and has a
PhD in Sociology. He worked as a visiting researcher at Yale University Department of Anthropology. His areas of expertise are Kurdish Islamist groups, social movements, radicalisation, the Kurdish issue in Turkey, visual ethnography and oral history. He is the author of Turkiye'de Hizbullah (İletişim Publication, 2015), and is the British Academy Newton Advanced Post-Doctoral Fellow at Queen Mary University of London.

Leading anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen shows how anthropology is a revolutionary way of thinking about the human world. Perfect for students, but also for those who have never encountered anthropology before, this book explores the key issues in an exciting and innovative way. Eriksen explains how to see the world from below and from within – emphasising the importance of adopting an insider’s perspective. He reveals how seemingly enormous cultural differences actually conceal the deep unity of humanity. Lucid and accessible, What is Anthropology? draws examples from current affairs as well as anthropological studies. The first section presents the history of anthropology, its unique research methods and some of its central concepts, such as society, culture and translation. Eriksen shows how anthropology helps to shape contemporary thinking and why it is inherently radical. In the second section he discusses core issues in greater detail. Reciprocity, or exchange, or gift-giving, is shown to be the basis of every society. Eriksen examines kinship in traditional societies, and shows why it remains important in complex ones. He argues nature is partly cultural, and explores anthropological views on human nature as well as ecology. He delves into cultural relativism and the problem of understanding others. Finally, he describes the paradoxes of identity – ethnic, national, religious or postmodern, as the case may be. THOMAS HYLLAND ERIKSEN is Professor of Social Anthropology at the
University of Oslo and currently President of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA). He is the author of numerous books, including Ethnicity and Nationalism, A History of Anthropology, Small Places, Large Issues, Tyranny of the Moment and Fredrik Barth, all available from Pluto Press.
