The picture is a grim one. We are witnessing the rise of nationalism, the spread of racism, and the entrenchment of extreme capitalism worldwide. The Pluto Press autumn list faces the new political realities head on, but also finds grounds for hope. The Death of Homo Economicus by Peter Fleming exposes how mainstream economics is built on a ludicrous and fantastical model of how people are supposed to think and act. In this insightful and witty book, Fleming shows how the implementation of economic models, cooked up in universities and business schools, leads to devastating results. Reclaiming the State by acclaimed economist William Mitchell and journalist Thomas Fazi explores how the turn away from globalisation and back towards the sovereign state, as evidenced by Brexit and the election of Trump, can be turned in a socialist direction. Vital reading for our times! In Looking to London, Cynthia Cockburn relates a fascinating account of the lives of refugee communities in our capital city. While racists and xenophobes have been emboldened by the result of the EU referendum, there has also been a surge in active support for refugees. Here, women refugees from Africa, Asia and the Middle East tell their stories. Finally, in response to the election of Trump and the rise of the alt-right we are publishing the second edition of The Islamophobia Industry by Nathan Lean. Lean unpicks racist and anti-Islamic currents across both the mainstream media and the blogosphere with horrifying results. David Castle, Senior Commissioning Editor

The Death of Homo Economicus

Work, Debt and the Myth of Endless Accumulation Peter Fleming Homo economicus is the ‘dollar-hunting man’ - an abstract model of a human being invented by modern economists. Through egocentric competitiveness they are endlessly maximising their own utility, always at work and seeking the constant accumulation of money. However, as Peter Fleming argues, they don’t really exist. The fake persona of homo economicus is used by politicians and managers to organise the social world through the state, business and the family. We are reminded on a daily basis that egocentric competition is the best way to live, and that if we do not abide by its tenets we are failures, destined for a life of unemployment and poverty. Ironically however, the people who are most often told to follow this model are those who are set up to fail, including the poor, unemployed, students and prisoners. Unpicking the works of economists Gary Becker and Theodore Schultz, Adam Smith and Friedrich Hayek, this book allows us to finally understand why everyday life in late capitalist societies is marked by a peculiar proactive negativity, and how this model for being human now stands for an unattainable project that would actually cause chaos if enacted to the letter. In fact, it already is.

Looking to London

Stories of War, Escape and Asylum Cynthia Cockburn This book looks at five communities of refugees living in London, who have travelled from the maelstrom of recent wars and suffered through displacement and the ‘migration crisis’ in the Middle East and Europe. Women refugees who have made it to London tell of the dangers they’ve fled, of their struggle with the UK’s rigid and racist border controls and the difficulties and rewards of making a home in a strange city. London is celebrated as one of the most ethnically diverse capitals in the world, and has been a magnet of migration since its origin. Looking to London responds to new cohorts of refugees joining their established Kurdish, Somali, Tamil, Sudanese and Syrian communities, under the watchful eye of two sets of security forces, those of the regimes they fled, and those of the UK’s anti-terror police. Cynthia Cockburn brings her lively and lucid style to a world in which hatred is being countered by compassion, at a moment when nationalist, anti-immigrant sentiment, post-Brexit, is being challenged by a warm-hearted ‘refugees welcome’ movement. Her book is helpful reading for all who want to think more deeply about the contradictions of a ‘open borders’ campaign. CYNTHIA COCKBURN first published with Pluto forty years ago. She is an honorary professor at the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender, University of Warwick, and City University London. Researcher and writer in the field of gender, war and peace-making, she is active in the international women's peace movement. Her most recent books are Antimilitarism: The Political and Gender Dynamics of Peace Movements (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and From Where We Stand: War, Women's Activism and Feminist Analysis (Zed Books, 2007).

Man-Made Woman

The Dialectics of Cross-Dressing Ciara Cremin On July 27th, 2015, Colin Cremin overcame a lifetime of fear and repression and came to work dressed as a woman called Ciara. This book charts her personal journey as a male-to-female cross-dresser in the ever-changing world of gender politics. Interweaving the personal and the political, through discussions of fetishism, aesthetics and popular culture, Man-Made Woman explores gender, identity and pleasure through the lenses of feminism, Marxism and psychoanalytic theory. Cremin interrogates her own experiences of dressing as a woman, both the joy of realising her desires and the social dislocation caused by some of the reactions of those around her. Emancipatory and empowering: Cremin interrogates her, his and our relationship to the gender binary. Man-Made Woman is an experiment in thought and practice through which both author and reader are drawn ultimately into a conflict with our material, ideological and libidinal relationship to patriarchalcapitalism. CIARA CREMIN lectures in sociology at the University of Auckland. She is author of several books, including Totalled: Salvaging the Future from the Wreckage of Capitalism and Capitalism’s New Clothes: Enterprise, Ethics and Enjoyment in Times of Crisis, both published with Pluto Press in 2015 and 2011 respectively.

The Islamophobia Industry

SECOND EDITION

How the Right Manufactures Hatred of Muslims Nathan Lean This is a disturbing account of the campaign to promote fear and hatred of Muslims in the United States and Europe, from the ‘War on Terror’ to Trump’s travel ban. Nathan Lean takes us through a world of conservative bloggers, right-wing talk show hosts, evangelical religious leaders and politicians, united in their efforts to demonise Muslims as the new enemy of Western civilization. Lean uncovers their scare tactics, traces their sources of funding and exposes the ideologies that drive their lucrative propaganda machine. This second edition includes new material on the Trump campaign and presidency, tracking the rise to power of some of the Islamophobia Industry’s most extreme figures. Writers from Breitbart, liberal antiMuslim campaigners such as Bill Maher, and Trump-influencers such as Steve Bannon, Newt Gingrich and John Bolton are all put in the spotlight. This shocking and enlightening book is now more relevant than ever. NATHAN LEAN is a writer and scholar of religion. His four books include,

most recently, Understanding Islam and the West (Rowman and Littlefield, 2017).

The Industrial Workers of the World is a union unlike any other. Founded in 1905 in Chicago, it rapidly gained members across the world thanks to its revolutionary, internationalist outlook. By using powerful organising methods including direct-action and directdemocracy, it put power in the hands of workers. This philosophy is labeled as ‘revolutionary industrial unionism’ and the members called, affectionately, ‘Wobblies’. This book is the first to look at the history of the IWW from an international perspective. Bringing together a group of leading writers, it includes lively accounts from a number of diverse countries including Australia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden and Ireland, which reveal a fascinating story of global anarchism, syndicalism and socialism. Drawing on many important figures of the movement such as Tom Barker, Har Dayal, Joe Hill, James Larkin and William D. "Big Bill" Haywood, and exploring particular industries including shipping, mining and agriculture, this book describes how the IWW and its ideals travelled around the world. PETER COLE is Professor of History at Western Illinois University and

Research Associate at the Society, Work and Development Institute, University of the Witwatersrand. He is the author of Wobblies on the Waterfront (University of Illinois Press, 2007). DAVID M. STRUTHERS is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University

Red International and Black Caribbean Communists in New York City, Mexico and the West Indies, 1919-1939 Margaret Stevens This is the history of the black radicals who organised as Communists between the two imperialist wars of the twentieth century. It explores the political roots of a dozen organisations and parties in New York City, Mexico and the Black Caribbean, including the Anti-Imperialist League, and the American Negro Labour Congress and the Haiti Patriotic League, and reveals a history of myriad connections and shared struggle across the continent. This book reclaims the centrality of class consciousness and political solidarity amongst these black radicals, who are too often represented as separate from the international Communist movement which emerged after the Russian Revolution in 1917. Instead, it describes the inner workings of the ‘Red International’ in relation to struggles against racial and colonial oppression. It introduces a cast of radical characters including Richard Moore, Otto Huiswoud, Navares Sager, Grace Campbell, Rose Pastor Stokes and Wilfred Domingo. Challenging the ‘great men’ narrative, Margaret Stevens emphasises the role of women in their capacity as labourers; the struggles of peasants of colour; and of black workers in and around Communist parties. MARGARET STEVENS is Professor in the Department of History at Essex

County College in Newark. She is a contributor to the volume Communist Histories, Volume 1, edited by Vijay Prashad (LeftWord 2016).

This groundbreaking collection explores the profound power of Social Reproduction Theory to deepen our understanding of everyday life under capitalism. While many Marxists tend to focus on the productive economy, this book focuses on issues such as child care, health care, education, family life and the roles of gender, race and sexuality, all of which are central to understanding the relationship between economic exploitation and social oppression. In this book, leading writers such as Lise Vogel, Nancy Fraser, David McNally and Susan Ferguson reveal the ways in which daily and generational reproductive labour, found in households, schools, hospitals and prisons, also sustains the drive for accumulation. Presenting a more sophisticated alternative to intersectionality, these essays provide ideas which have important strategic implications for anti-capitalists, anti-racists and feminists attempting to find a path through the seemingly ever more complex world we live in. TITHI BHATTACHARYA is a Professor of South Asian History at Purdue

She is also a long-time activist for Palestinian justice and is on the editorial board of the International Socialist Review. Besides her academic scholarship, her writing has appeared in Electronic Intifada, Salon.com, Huffington Post, New Left Review, Mondoweiss, Jacobin, Jadaliyya and other publications.

Reclaiming the State

G IN E M T

A Progressive Vision of Sovereignty for a Post-Neoliberal World

AI TA L C S E E R

William Mitchell and Thomas Fazi The crisis of the neoliberal order has resuscitated a political idea widely believed to be consigned to the dustbin of history. Brexit, the election of Donald Trump, and the neo-nationalist, anti-globalisation and antiestablishment backlash engulfing the West all involve a yearning for a relic of the past: national sovereignty. In response to these challenging times, economist William Mitchell and political theorist Thomas Fazi reconceptualise the nation state as a vehicle for progressive change. They show how despite the ravages of neoliberalism, the state still contains resources for democratic control of a nation’s economy and finances. The populist turn provides an opening to develop an ambitious but feasible left political strategy. Reclaiming the State offers an urgent, provocative and prescient political analysis of our current predicament, and lays out a comprehensive strategy for revitalising progressive economics in the 21st century. WILLIAM MITCHELL is Professor of Economics and Director of the Centre

of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE) at the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia. He is the author of various books including Eurozone Dystopia: Groupthink and Denial on a Grand Scale (Elgar, 2015). He is considered one of the world’s leading heterodox economists.

‘A timely and courageous book. A must read for those seeking truth and reconciliation in the Middle East’ NUR MASALHA, editor of the Journal of Holy Land and Palestine Studies

This is the controversial history of the British government’s involvement in the Zionist project, from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to the present day. Written by the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, the Declaration stated: ‘His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object.’ Its impact on history has been immense and still reverberates a century later, starting what has been referred to as a hundred years of war against the Palestinian people. This history focuses on the devastating events which resulted from the Declaration, such as the Arab Revolt, the Nakba and establishment of the state of Israel, the 1956 and 1967 wars, the Cold War and the Oslo Agreement. It also shines a light on controversial figures such as Tony Blair. In doing so, Balfour’s Shadow provides a fascinating take on this much-contested, important history. DAVID CRONIN is a journalist specialising in European politics. He is

the author of Corporate Europe: How Big Business Sets Policies on Food, Climate and War (Pluto, 2013) and Europe's Alliance With Israel: Aiding the Occupation (Pluto, 2011) and has written for a variety of publications, including the Guardian, Wall Street Journal Europe, European Voice, the Irish Times and Electronic Intifada.

Storming Heaven

NEW EDITION

Class Composition and Struggle in Italian Autonomist Marxism Steve Wright. New foreword by Harry Cleaver. New afterword by Massimiliano Tomba & Riccardo Bellofiore This is the only book which looks at Italian workerist theory and practice, from its origins in the anti-Stalinist left of the 1950s to its heyday twenty years later. It focuses on the theme of workerism, or ‘operaismo’, which includes the refusal of work, class self-organisation, mass illegality and the extension of revolutionary agency, all of which are still practiced today by workers across the world. Emphasising the dynamic nature of class struggle as the distinguishing feature of workerist thought, the book reveals how this form of radical politics developed alongside emerging social movements to great effect. It assesses the strengths and limitations of workerism as first developed by Antonio Negri, Mario Tronti, Sergio Bologna and others. This edition includes a new chapter looking at the debates around operaismo and Autonomia since the book originally appeared in 2002, and is updated with a new foreword and afterword. STEVE WRIGHT is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Information

Technology at Monash University.

Whatever happened to the student revolt? In 2010 young people across Britain took to the streets to defy a wave of government attacks on education, increasing tuition fees, and cuts to grants for college students. Months of occupations, ‘kettling’ and outbreaks of violence ensued, but to what effect? Today, students face new attacks on higher education from the current Conservative government. Student Revolt tells the story of the year that introduced a generation to the power of the mass movement, through the voices of the people involved. Activists’, students’, university-occupiers’, young workers’ and politicians’ testimonies are woven together to create a narrative which starkly captures both the deep divisions as well as the intense energy that sprung from its actors. The ‘Millbank Generation’ has since moved on – some fell into political inactivity – but many went on to explore different forms of politics, where they continue to fight. This book will provide poignant reminder of the revolt for today’s activists, as well as an opportunity to reflect on its many lessons. MATT MYERS is a doctoral student at the University of Oxford. A writer

and contributor to several publications and journals, he was a participant in the 2010 student movement.

Culture as Politics

Selected Writings Christopher Caudwell, edited by David Margolies Considered by many to be the most innovative British Marxist writer of the twentieth century, Christopher Caudwell was killed in the Spanish Civil War at the age of 29. Although already a published writer of aeronautic texts and crime fiction, he was practically unknown to the public until reviews appeared of Illusion and Reality, which was published just after his death. A strikingly original study of poetry’s role, it explained in clear language how the organising of emotion in society plays a part in social change and development. Caudwell had a powerful interest in how things worked – aeronautics, physics, human psychology, language and society. In the anti-fascist struggles of the 1930s he saw that capitalism was a system that could not work properly and distorted the thinking of the age. Self-educated from the age of 15, he wrote with a directness that is quite alien to most cultural theory. Culture as Politics introduces Caudwell’s work through his most accessible and relevant writing. Material will be drawn from Illusion and Reality, Studies in a Dying Culture and his essay ‘Heredity and Development’. CHRISTOPHER CAUDWELL (1907-1937) was the pen-name of Christopher

St. John Sprigg, a British Marxist poet, writer and thinker. He joined the Communist Party in 1935, and soon became a dedicated grassroots activist, continuing his writing, even though none of his Marxist works were printed during his lifetime. In 1936, he left for Spain to join the International Brigade in the anti-fascist struggle against Franco. He was killed by the fascists in the valley of Jarama, February 12th 1937, during his first day of battle. DAVID MARGOLIES is Emeritus Professor of English at Goldsmiths,

University of London. He is the editor of the cultural politics journal Red Letters, edited Writing the Revolution: Cultural Criticism from Left Review (Pluto Press, 1998) and is the author of Monsters of the Deep: Social Dissolution in Shakespeare’s Tragedies (MUP, 1992).

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has been the subject of intense scrutiny in the West. Considered by many to be the most dangerous terrorist organisation in the world, it has become shrouded in numerous myths and narratives, many emanating from the US, which often fail to grasp its true nature. Against these narratives, Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou presents a bold new theory of ISIS. By tracing its genealogy and documenting its evolution in Iraq and Syria, he argues that ISIS has transcended Osama Bin Laden’s original project of Al Qaeda, mutating into a unprecedented hybrid form that distils postcolonial violence, postmodernity and the emerging post-globalisation international order. This book analyses ISIS from a social sciences perspective and unpacks its dynamics by looking beyond superficial questions such as its terrorist nature and religious rhetoric. It transforms our understanding of ISIS and its profound impact on the very nature of contemporary political violence. MOHAMMAD-MAHMOUD OULD MOHAMEDOU is Professor of

International History at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva and teaches at the doctoral school at Sciences Po Paris. Previously the Associate Director of the Harvard University Programme on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research, he is the author of Understanding Al Qaeda (Pluto, 2011).

The Privatisation of Israeli Security

Shir Hever Between 1994-2014, Israel’s security service was transformed, becoming one of the most extreme examples of privatised security in the world. This book is an investigation into this period and the conditions that created ‘Occupation Inc.’: the institution of a private military-security-industrial complex. State sponsored violence is increasing as a result of this securitisation, but why is it necessary, and what are its implications? In this book, Shir Hever considers the impact of the ongoing Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation, the influence of U.S. military aid and the rise of neoliberalism in Israel, to make sense of this dramatic change in security policy. Through the lens of political economy, this book shows how the Israeli security elites turn violence into a commodity in order to preserve their status and wealth, providing a fresh new perspective on the Israeli occupation. SHIR HEVER is an economic researcher based at the Alternative

Information Centre in Jerusalem. He contributes to countless publications and is the author of The Political Economy of Israel's Occupation (Pluto Press, 2010).

Since 1991, nominally independent Ukraine has been in turmoil, with the Orange Revolution and the Maidan protests marking its most critical moments. Now, its borders are threatened and both the civil unrest and armed conflict continue to destabilise the country. In order to understand these dramatic events, this book looks to the country’s post-Soviet past in an ambitious analysis of contemporary Ukrainian political economy. Providing distinctive and unexplored reflections on the origins of the conflict, Yulia Yurchenko unpacks the four central myths that underlie Ukraine's post-Soviet reality: the myth of transition, the myth of democracy, the myth of two Ukraines, and the myth of 'the other'. In doing so, she sheds light on the current intensification of class rivalries in Ukraine, kleptocracy, resource wars and analyses existing and potential dangers of the rightwing shift in Ukraine's polity, stressing a historic opportunity for change. Critiquing the concept of Ukraine as ‘transition space’, this book provides a sweeping analysis which includes the wider neoliberal restructuring of global political economy since the 1970s, with particular focus on Ukraine's relations with the US, the EU and Russia. This is a book that reveals the current conflict as a dangerous reminder of the empire of capital. YULIYA YURCHENKO is a Lecturer in International Business and

researcher at the Public Services International Research Unit, the Centre for Business Network Analysis, and Political Economy Research Centre at University of Greenwich. She is a contributor to the Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, New Political Economy, Sustainability and Commons.

Art & Production

Boris Arvatov, edited by John Roberts. Translated by Shushan Avagyan. Afterword by Alexei Penzin This is the first English translation of a classic of the early Soviet avantgarde. Now nearing a century since its first publication in Russia, it is a crucial intervention for those seeking to understand the social dynamic of art and revolution during the period. Derived from the internal struggles of Soviet Constructivism, as it confronted the massive problems of cultural transformation after ‘War Communism’, Arvatov’s writing is a major force in the split that occurred in the revolutionary horizons of Constructivism in the early 1920s. Critical of early Constructivism’s social-aesthetic process of art’s transformation of daily life - epitomised in studio-based painting, photography and object-making - Arvatov polemicises for the devolution of artistic skills directly into the relations of production and the factory. Whilst acknowledging the problems of a pure factory-based Productivism, Arvatov remains overwhelmingly committed to a new role and function for art outside the conventional studio and traditional gallery. Addressing issues such as artistic labour and productive labour, the artist as technician, art and multidisciplinarity and a life for art beyond ‘art’ - finding new relevance amidst the extensive social turn of contemporary participatory art - Art & Production offers a timely and compelling manifesto.

‘This superior and remarkably thorough study of the Holy Land enigma is strongly recommended as an introduction’

The Palestine-Israel conflict is the most notorious and ingrained conflict in living memory. Yet the way it is reported in the media is often confusing, leading many to falsely assume the hostilities stretch continuously back to an ancient period. The Palestine-Israel Conflict provides a balanced, accessible, and annotated introduction that covers the full history of the region, from Biblical times until today. Perfect for the general reader, as well as students, it offers a comprehensive yet lucid rendering of the conflict, setting it in its proper historical context. This fourth edition brings us up to date, and includes recent events such as Israel’s Operation Protective Edge, developments between Fatah and Hamas, ongoing Palestinian resistance, and changes in US Middle East policy under the Trump administration. This book cuts though the layers of confused and contradictory information on the subject, and will help clarify the ongoing conflict for its readers.

Brazil

Neoliberalism versus Democracy Alfredo Saad-Filho and Lecio Morais Brazil is the world’s sixth largest economy, has played a key role as one of the ‘pink wave’ administrations in Latin America, and was also responsible for wrecking the US-sponsored proposal for a Free Trade Area of the Americas. It is also one of the few large countries where social spending has risen and the distribution of income has improved in the last thirty years. However, as protests during the World Cup in 2014 have shown, the country remains highly unequal, unmet social needs are vast and its infrastructure is precarious. Alfredo Saad-Filho and Lecio Morais review the paradox that is modern-day Brazil. Focusing on the period from 1980 onwards, they analyse the tensions between the two systemic transitions to have dominated the country: the political transition from military rule to democracy, and to neoliberalism. The authors show how these transitions had contradictory logics and dynamics, yet ultimately became mutually supportive as they unfolded and intertwined.

This new edition of the groundbreaking textbook is a critical guide to postwar studies of modernisation and development. In the midtwentieth century, models of development studies were products of postwar American policy. The focus on newly independent states in the Global South, aiming to assure their pro-Western orientation by promoting economic growth, political reform and liberal democracy. However, this prevented meaningful democracy and radical change. Today, projects of democracy have evolved in a radically different political environment that seems to have little in common with the postwar period. Development Against Democracy, however, maps out a revealing continuity in foreign policy, including in justifications of ‘humanitarian intervention’ that echo those of counterinsurgency decades earlier in Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. This book demonstrates that the fundamental ideas on which theories of modernisation and development rest have been resurrected in contemporary policy and its theories, representing the continuity of postwar US foreign policy in a world permanently altered by globalisation and its multiple discontents, the proliferation of ‘failed states,’ the unprecedented exodus of refugees, and Washington’s declaration of a permanent war against terrorism.

The Message is Murder

Substrates of Computational Capital Jonathan Beller Written as a wake-up call to the field of media studies, The Message is Murder analyses the violence bound up in the everyday functions of digital media. At its core is the concept of ‘computational capital’ – the idea that capitalism itself is a computer, turning qualities into quantities, and that the rise of digital culture and technologies under capitalism should be seen as an extension of capitalism’s bloody logic. Engaging with Borges, Turing, Claude Shannon, Hitchcock and Marx, this book tracks computational capital to reveal the lineages of capitalised power as it has restructured representation, consciousness and survival in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It argues that the global intensification of inequality relies on the discursive, informatic and screen-mediated production of social difference. Ultimately, The Message is Murder makes the case for recognising media communications across all platforms - books, films, videos, photographs and even language itself - as technologies of political economy, entangled with the social contexts of a capitalism that is inherently racial, gendered and genocidal. JONATHAN BELLER is Professor of Humanities and Media Studies at the

Pratt Institute of New York, and Director of the Graduate Program in Media Studies. He is the author of The Cinematic Mode of Production: Attention Economy and the Society of the Spectacle (UPNE, 2006) and Acquiring Eyes: Philippine Visuality, Nationalist Struggle and the World-Media System (Ateneo de Manila University Press, 2006).

In 2009, Elinor Ostrom became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Economics. Her theorising of the commons has been celebrated as groundbreaking and opening the way for non-capitalist economic alternatives, yet, many radicals know little about her. This book redresses this, revealing the indispensability of her work for green politics, left economics and radical democracy. Ostrom has often been viewed as a conservative or managerial thinker; but Derek Wall’s analysis of her work reveals how it is invaluable for developing a left political programme in the twenty-first century. Central to Ostrom’s work was the move ‘beyond panaceas’; transforming institutions to widen participation, promote diversity and favour cooperation over competition. She regularly challenged academia as individualist, narrow and elitist and promoted a radical take on education, based on participation. Her investigations into how we share finite resources have radical implications for the Green movement and her rubric for a functioning collective ownership is highly relevant in order to achieve radical social change. As activists continue to reject traditional models of centralised power, Ostrom’s work will become even more vital, offering a guide to creating economics that exists beyond markets and states. DEREK WALL is the author of six books including Economics After

Capitalism (Pluto, 2015) and The Sustainable Economics of Elinor Ostrom (Routledge, 2014). He teaches Political Economy at Goldsmiths College, University of London and is International Coordinator of the Green Party of England and Wales.

Emile Durkheim, along with Karl Marx and Max Weber, is one of the three ‘founding fathers of sociology’. This is the first book to situate his sociology in the context of his republican politics, freeing his ideas from more conventional studies and allowing the reader to see his ideas afresh. This critical introduction argues that Durkheim’s defence of Republican France in the 1890s had a considerable influence on his sociology, which cannot be fully understood when removed from its historical and political context. His dismissal of economic factors in suicide rates, the influence of his anti-feminist position on his findings on marriage rates, and the idealism behind his claim that religion is the key determinant in shaping society are all discussed. Through analysing his writings, including The Division of Labour in Society, Suicide and The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, this book provides a fascinating, critical counterpoint to the existing works on this key figure of sociology. KIERAN ALLEN is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at University College

Dublin. His books include 1916: Ireland’s Revolutionary Tradition, Durkheim: A Critical Introduction, Marx: The Alternative to Capitalism and Weber: Sociologist of Empire, all published by Pluto Press. BRIAN O’BOYLE is a lecturer in Economics at St Angela’s College, National

Weber

NEW EDITION

Sociologist of Empire Kieran Allen Max Weber is one of ‘the founding fathers of sociology’. This book provides a sharp, lucid introduction to his role in the formation of modern sociological thought. This book approaches Weber’s ideas of rationalisation and secularisation from a critical standpoint. He has always been a divisive figure, seeing himself as a ‘class conscious bourgeois’ and his sociology reflects this outlook. Concentrating on the key themes of his work, this book shows how his sociology cannot be divorced from his political standpoint. Weber’s background is explored through his life and writing – suggesting that he was a ‘neoliberal’ who believed the market guaranteed efficiency and rationality when in reality it created oppression and inequality. The book also criticises his advocacy of empire and his support for the carnage of the First World War, showing his fundamental opposition to the outlook of Karl Marx. Using this political framework, this introduction is ideal for those seeking to develop a more critical approach to his work.

The Alternative to Capitalism Kieran Allen Karl Marx is one of ‘the founding fathers of sociology’. Through his economic and political work, he changed the discourse on the understanding of human society. This book is an introduction to his work and its relevance today. Dispensing with the dryness of traditional analyses, Kieran Allen shows how Marx’s ideas apply to modern society. He outlines Marx’s life and the development of his work, and clearly explains his key theories, including historical materialism and surplus value. He continues to examine alternatives to capitalism, the concept of ‘anticapitalism’ and in doing so provides concrete, contemporary examples of Marx’s theories being put into practice in today’s world. This introductory book is perfect for anyone wanting to understand the basis of Marx’s approach to an alternative society.

Privatising Justice examines the accelerated privatisation of the state, looking closely at the criminal justice system, to show how the character of the private-state is not a journey of modernising, but a complete reversal of previous economic tendencies. The dynamics of neoliberalism - the successor to the Keynesian welfare state – are surveyed through an examination of the probation service, the police service and prisons. The growth in the private policing of public space as well as the changes within the traditional criminal justice agencies provide an opportunity to theorise changes in the politico-economic order and locate them within global economic, social and political structures. The anachronism of the security industry is hereby revealed in the study of its organisation and culture, which identifies the working classes as a ‘risk group’, marginalising them in a manner reminiscent of the early nineteenth century. This book is a powerful petition for the exclusion of private enterprise from the public sector and an argument against neoliberalism as a modernising economic order.

New Title - Radical Geography

Space Invaders

Radical Geographies of Protest Paul Routledge Series: Radical Geography Space Invaders argues for the importance of a radical geographic perspective in enabling us to make sense of protests and social movements around the world. Under conditions of increasing global economic inequalities, we are witnessing the flourishing of grassroots people's movements fighting for improved rights. Whether it be the alter-globalisation mobilisations of the turn of the century, the flurry of Occupy protests, or the current wave of antiausterity mobilisations taking place, there is a geographical logic to all forms of protest - through transforming landscapes, occupying enemy territory or developing solidarity and communication networks. Paul Routledge takes a primarily auto-ethnographical perspective, drawing upon his extensive experience over the past thirty years working with various forms of protest in Europe, Asia and Latin America, to provide an account of how a radical geographical imagination can inform our understanding and the prosecution of protest. PAUL ROUTLEDGE is Professor of Contentious Politics and Social Change

This book critiques how impoverished communities are represented by politicians, the media, academics and policy makers - and how our understanding of these neighbourhoods is, often misleadingly, shaped by these stories. The alleged behavioural failings of ‘poor people’ have attracted a great deal of academic and political scrutiny. Spatial inequalities are also well documented and poor neighbourhoods have been extensively researched. However, other spaces have been re-imagined in different ways by politicians, academics, journalists and social reformers. These imagined geographies include exoticised slums, cities being reclaimed by nature, the street and domestic spaces like the kitchen, or even the bedroom. In Their Place highlights how these spaces are represented and how these representations are deployed, manipulating political and media discourses around the individuals and communities who live there. These distortions are often used to keep people in their place by making sure everyone knows where ‘the poor’ belong. This book will reorientate those interested in human geography away from ‘deprived neighbourhoods’ and back to the foundational spaces where political decisions - and poverty - are made in Britain today. STEPHEN CROSSLEY is Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at Northumbria

University. He previously worked on a regional child poverty project in the North East of England and has also worked in local government and with local voluntary sector organisations in neighbourhood youth work and community development roles.

New Title - Radical Geography

Making Workers

Radical Geographies of Education Katharyne Mitchell Series: Radical Geography As capitalism sinks its logic ever deeper into the organisation of society, so too is its impact felt in the field of education. Katharyne Mitchell argues that as this logic is apparent in every aspect of education, imprinting itself deep into the psyche of children. Education, in a context of shifting spaces, narratives, actors and values, plays a critical role in the social and political formation of youth. Mitchell looks at the struggles over student identity and allegiance - as well as spaces of resistance. She investigates the transition to educational narratives emphasising flexibility and strategic global entrepreneurialism and examines the role of education in a broader political project of producing new generations of economically insecure but compliant workers. Scrutinising the impact of an influx of new actors and ideologies, she argues that public education is the latest institution to embrace the logic of ‘choice’ - pertaining to schools, faculty, and curricula - that, if unchecked, will lead to further incursions of the market and the eventual privatisation of schools.

The recent eruption of WikiLeaks, Anonymous, Snowden and other tech-savvy actors onto the global political stage raises urgent questions about the impact of digital activism on political systems around the world. The Rise of Nerd Politics is an anthropological exploration of the role that such actors play in sparking new processes of political change in the digital age. Drawing from long-term ethnographic research in Spain, Indonesia and Malaysia – as well as on a wealth of empirical examples from other countries, including the United States, Iceland and Taiwan – the book tracks the rise of technology ‘nerds’ as a new transnational class of political brokers with growing influence. Postill identifies and explores four domains of nerd politics that have experienced a dramatic expansion since 2010: digital rights, data activism, social protest and institutional politics. Together, these various explorations reveal a dynamic ‘space of nerd politics’ inextricably entwined with broader processes of political change and continuity. Written in an accessible style, The Rise of Nerd Politics offers students, scholars and lay persons alike a highly original and compelling account of the shape that digital activism and political change are taking at a challenging time for progressive politics worldwide. JOHN POSTILL is an anthropologist specialising in the comparative

study of socio-cultural change and digital politics. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne. He is the author of numerous articles and book chapters and of the books Media and Nation Building: How the Iban Became Malaysian (Berghahn Books, 2008), and Localising the Internet: An Anthropological Account (Berghahn Books, 2011).

New Title - Anthropology, Culture and Society

Private Oceans

The Enclosure and Marketisation of the Seas Fiona McCormack Series: Anthropology, Culture and Society As the era of thriving, small-scale fishing communities continues to wane across waters that once teemed with (a way of) life, Fiona McCormack opens a window into contemporary fisheries quota systems, laying bare how neoliberalism has entangled itself in our approach to environmental management. Grounded in fieldwork in New Zealand, Iceland, Ireland and Hawaii, McCormack offers up a comparative analysis of the mechanisms driving the transformations unleashed by a new era of ocean grabbing. Exploring the processes of privatisation in ecosystem services, this book traces how value has been repositioned in the market, away from productive activities. The result? The demise of the small-scale sector, the collapse of fishing communities, cultural loss, and the emergence of a newly propertied class of producers - the armchair fisherman. Ultimately, Private Oceans demonstrates that the deviations from the capitalist norm explored in this book offer grounds for the reimagining of both fisheries’ economies and broader environmental systems. FIONA MCCORMACK is Senior Lecturer and Convenor of Anthropology at

the University of Waikato, New Zealand. She is the author of Sustainability in New Zealand's Quota Management System: A Convenient Story (Marine Policy, 2016), and a contributor to Anthropologies of Value: Cultures of Accumulation Across the Global North and South (Pluto Press, 2016).
