Who We Are

PLUTO PRESS / PLUTOBOOKS.COM


Who We Are

Pluto Press is a radical political publishing house. Founded in 1969, we are one of Britain’s oldest radical publishers, but our focus remains making timely interventions in contemporary struggles. Though our collective outlook has developed over time, we proudly identify as anti-capitalist, internationalist and politically independent.

Pluto Press is an independent, radical publishing house, founded in 1969. Anti-Capitalist Emerging out of the Marxist tradition, we see ourselves as supporters of what Marx called ‘the real movement that abolishes the present state of things’. Today that movement takes many forms and appears in many different places, but its defining feature is opposition to the current global order, which places profit ahead of people. Internationalist From call centres in London, to phone factories in Shenzhen, we strive to provide a platform for activists and agitators across the globe. Our books have appeared in countless different languages and on every continent, reflecting an internationalism that is practical and not merely programmatic. Independent Since the 70s, Pluto has been independent of any political party or organisation. This means we publish what we want, without fear or favour. Our books often disagree with one another, but always express a critical solidarity.

Alt-Right: From 4chan to the White House

Mike Wendling A journalist’s investigation into what really makes the Alt-Right tick

This book is a vital guide to understanding the Alt-Right the white nationalist, anti-feminist, far-right movement that rose to prominence during Donald Trump’s successful election campaign in the United States. It looks at the support for this reactionary network, arguing that while Trump is in office and the far-right grows across Europe, we need to gain a deeper understanding of the movement’s philosophy, history and role in politics today. While the movement appears to have burst out of nowhere, Mike Wendling has been tracking the Alt-Right for years. He reveals the role of technological utopians, reactionary philosophers, the notorious 4chan and 8chan bulletin boards, and a range of bloggers, vloggers and tweeters, highlighting the extreme ideas which underpin the movement’s thought. This is an analysis of what the Alt-Right stands for and who its followers and leaders are. Including exclusive interviews with members of the movement and evidence linking extremists with terror attacks and hate crimes, it is clear that despite its high-profile support, the movement’s lack of a coherent base and its contradictory tendencies are already leading to its downfall. MIKE WENDLING is a Senior Broadcast Journalist at the BBC. He works in the BBC’s Digital Current Affairs department, where he is a blogger and editor of BBC Trending. He produced the BBC radio series America’s Own Extremists. He has also presented documentaries for Radio 4 and the BBC World Service on Native Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement.

May Made Me: An Oral History of the 1968 Uprising in France Mitchell Abidor Oral testimonies from the creative, violent and ground-shaking events in France, May ‘68

‘These powerful and moving testimonies create an eyeopening account of the inspiring events of May ‘68, which are more relevant for today’s activists than ever before’ – Paul Mason

The mass protests that shook France in May 1968 were exciting, dangerous, creative and influential, changing European politics to this day. Students demonstrated, workers went on general strike, factories and universities were occupied. At the height of its fervour, it brought the entire national economy to a halt. The protests reached such a point that political leaders feared civil war or revolution. Fifty years later, here are the shocking oral testimonies of those young rebels, and how they feel about their role in the uprising today. By listening to the voices of students and workers, as opposed to those of their leaders, May ‘68 appears not just as a mass event, but rather as an event driven by millions of individuals, achieving a mosaic human portrait of France at the time. This book reveals the legacy of the uprising: how those explosive experiences changed those who took part, and the course of history. May Made Me records these moments before history moves on yet again. MITCHELL ABIDOR is a writer and translator living in Brooklyn, USA. His works include A Socialist History of the French Revolution by Jean Jaurès (Pluto Press, 2015) and Anarchists Never Surrender by Victor Serge (PM Press, 2015).

A Party with Socialists in It: A History of the Labour Left Foreword by John McDonnell Simon Hannah A history of the British Labour Party, uncovering its deep internal divisions and shifting position in politics

‘This informative and thought-provoking historical account allows us to assess the Party’s history, whilst acknowledging that the progressive movement inspired by Corbyn’s leadership is something new and exciting’ – Liz Davies, Labour Party activist

For over a hundred years, the British Labour Party has been a bastion for working-class organisation and struggle. However, has it ever truly been on the side of the workers? Where do its interests really lie? And can we rely on it to provide a barrier against right-wing forces? By looking into its history, this book shines a light on the internal dynamics of the ‘party with socialists in it’. From its origins in the late nineteenth century, the Labour Party was uncomfortably divided between a metropolitan liberal and a working-class milieu, which characterises the party to this very day. This history guides us through the Bevanite movement and the celebrated government of Clement Attlee, to the emergence of a New Left that was highly sceptical of the Labour Party during the Wilson era. It explores the move towards Blairism and the disheartening story of the decline of the Labour Left after its historic defeat in the 1980s. With the emergence of socialist leader Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour Party’s fate rests in the balance. Will it reconcile its internal divisions or split into obscurity? Published in partnership with the Left Book Club.

‘The story I offer here comes from a sense of urgency and fear, but also a refusal of the paranoia and panic—and the rush to understanding—so common among the progressive opposition, as well as a refusal to make it all about Trump himself; it is a response to the shadow of even darker times yet to come’

Under the Cover of Chaos: Trump and the Battle for the American Right Lawrence Grossberg An intervention into the origins of Donald Trump’s nationalism, populism and illiberalism

‘A profound and insightful analysis of the diverse forces that have led to Trump’s election’ – Henry Giroux, McMaster University Professor for Scholarship in the Public Interest

Donald Trump’s administration has been catastrophic, but there may be other catastrophes behind the chaos assigned to Trump’s psychology and incompetence. What’s happening in American politics is bigger and more frightening than Trump alone. Under the Cover of Chaos locates Trump’s nationalism, populism and illiberalism in the longer history of post-World War Two conservatism. While Trump’s themes are familiar, they are transformed by the increasing legitimisation of old forms of extremist, reactionary conservatism. The chaos of contemporary politics is not accidental, it is the result of a struggle between these two antagonistic versions of the right over the future of conservatism and its vision for America. Grossberg argues that contemporary political struggles, both within and against the Right, are being shaped by the changing national landscape of moods and feelings, a passive nihilism marked by the hyperinflation of judgement and belief (and the resulting culture of fanaticism, victimage and cruelty), a growing sense of anxiety, an experience of being lost or stuck in time, and new forms of narcissism. Finally, he projects a possible nightmare future scenario: a vision of an anti-political nation, a cultural corporatocracy without a state.

PLUTO PRESS / PLUTOBOOKS.COM

After decades of occupation and creeping annexation, Israel has created an apartheid, one-state reality in historic Palestine. Peace efforts have failed because of one, inconvenient truth: the Israeli maximum on offer does not meet the Palestinian minimum, or the standards of international law. But while the situation on the ground is bleak, Ben White argues that there are widening cracks in Israel’s traditional pillars of support. Opposition to Israeli policies and even critiques of Zionism are growing in Jewish communities, as well as amongst Western progressives. The election of Donald Trump has served as a catalyst for these processes, including the transformation of Israel from a partisan issue into one that divides the US establishment. Meanwhile, the Palestinianled boycott campaign is gathering momentum, prompting a desperate backlash by Israel and its allies. With sharp analysis, Ben White says now is the time to plot a course that avoids the mistakes of the past – a way forward beyond apartheid in Palestine. The solution is not partition and ethnic separation, but equality and selfdetermination – for all. BEN WHITE is a journalist and analyst, who has been visiting and writing about Palestine for over a decade. His books include Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner’s Guide (Pluto, 2014). His articles have been published by the Guardian, Independent, Newsweek Middle East and many others. Ben is a frequent guest expert on Al Jazeera, and is a contributor to Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network.


Shut Down the Business School: What’s Wrong with Management Education Martin Parker A clarion call to shut down the business school!

Business schools are institutions which, a decade after the financial crash, continue to act as loudspeakers for neoliberal capitalism with all its injustices and planetary consequences. In this lively and incendiary call to action, Martin Parker offers a simple message: shut down the business school. Parker argues that business schools are ‘cash cows’ for the contemporary university that have produced a generation of unreflective managers, primarily interested in their own personal rewards. If we see universities as institutions with responsibilities to the societies they inhabit, then we must challenge the common notion that ‘the market’ should be the primary determinant of the education they provide. Shut Down the Business School makes a compelling case for a radical alternative, in the form of a ‘School for Organising’. This institution would develop and teach on different forms of organising, instead of reproducing the dominant corporate model, enabling individuals to discover alternative responses to the pressing issues of inequality and sustainability faced by all of us today. MARTIN PARKER is a Professor in the School of Management at the University of Leicester. He writes about alternative economies, and culture and organisations. He is a co-author of Fighting Corporate Abuse (Pluto, 2014).

‘In the finest tradition of people’s history, these sensitive, painful and evocative pieces provide a human face to the painful saga of Palestinian torment and the remarkable courage and resilience of the victims’ – Noam Chomsky

Stretching over decades, encompassing bombing campaigns, ceasefires and mass exoduses, The Last Earth tells the story of modern Palestine through the memories of those who have lived it. Palestinian history has long faced obstacles, first from Orientalist readings of the Middle East, and then from attempts by Zionists to replace Palestinian historical narratives. The Last Earth challenges previous takes on Palestinian history, unearthing the commonalities within the Palestinian narrative, separated through political divisions, geographical barriers and walls, factionalism, military occupation, and exile. Through moving personal testimonies, we come to understand the complexities and contradictions of memory and the telling of history in the midst of conflict. As well as offering a history of the conflict and the region, The Last Earth also acts as a reclamation of history for the Palestinian people, representing them as active participants in shaping the present and the future.

Ramzy Baroud is a journalist, media consultant, author and editor of the Palestine Chronicle. He is a Non-Resident Scholar at Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara.

Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War - New Edition Robin Yassin-Kassab and Leila Al-Shami A vivid look at a modern-day political and humanitarian nightmare

‘Full of fascinating details’ – The New York Review of Books

In 2011, many Syrians took to the streets of Damascus to demand the overthrow of the government of Bashar al-Assad. Today, much of Syria has become a war zone where foreign journalists find it almost impossible to report on life in this devastated land. Burning Country explores the horrific and complicated reality of life in present-day Syria with unprecedented detail and sophistication, drawing on new first-hand testimonies from opposition fighters, exiles lost in an archipelago of refugee camps, and courageous human rights activists among many others. These stories are expertly interwoven with a trenchant analysis of the brutalisation of the conflict and the militarisation of the uprising, of the rise of the Islamists and sectarian warfare, and the role of governments in Syria and elsewhere in exacerbating those violent processes. With chapters focusing on ISIS and Islamism, regional geopolitics, the new grassroots revolutionary organisations, and the worst refugee crisis since World War Two, Burning Country is a vivid and groundbreaking look at a modern-day political and humanitarian nightmare. ROBIN YASSIN-KASSAB is a regular media commentator on Syria and the Middle East. He is the author of the novel The Road from Damascus (Penguin, 2009) and contributor to Syria Speaks (Saqi, 2014).

From ‘Covfefe’ to #FraudNewsCNN and #FakeNews, Donald Trump’s tweets have caused an international frenzy. He is a reality TV and Twitter-president, who uses digital and entertainment culture as an ideological weapon – as an expression of his authoritarianism. This book delves into new political-economic structures, as expressed through political communication, to explain the rise of authoritarian capitalism, nationalism and right-wing ideology throughout the world. Christian Fuchs does this through updating Marxist theory and the Frankfurt School’s critical theory. He re-invigorates the works on authoritarianism of Franz L. Neumann, Theodor W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer in the age of Trump and Twitter. In a world of big data and social media, Digital Demagogue studies the expressions of ideology, nationalism and authoritarianism today and discusses prospects for overcoming capitalism and renewing the Left. CHRISTIAN FUCHS is a leading critical theorist of communication and society. He is a Professor at the University of Westminster and co-editor of the open access journal tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique. He is the author of Social Media: A Critical Introduction (Sage, 2017) amongst other works.


Why Turkey is Authoritarian: From Atatürk to Erdogan

Halil Karaveli A radical history of Turkey, rejecting traditional narratives of a ‘clash of civilisations’

For the last century, the Western world has regarded Turkey as a pivotal case of the ‘clash of civilisations’ between Islam and the West. Why Turkey is Authoritarian offers a radical challenge to this conventional narrative. Halil Karaveli highlights the danger in viewing events in Turkey as a war between a ‘westernising’ state and the popular masses defending their culture and religion, instead seeing the conflict in terms of competing elites from which the Left and labour movement is excluded. This book goes beyond cultural categories that overshadow more complex realities when thinking about the ‘Muslim world’, while highlighting the ways in which these cultural prejudices have informed ideological positions. Karaveli argues that Turkey’s cultural politics has disabled the Left, which has largely been unable to transcend these divisions. This book asks the crucial question: why does democracy continue to elude Turkey? Ultimately, Karaveli argues that Turkish history is instructive for a Left that faces the global challenge of a rising populist right, which succeeds in mobilising culture and identity to its own purposes. Published in partnership with the Left Book Club. HALIL KARAVELI is a Senior Fellow at the Central AsiaCaucasus Institute and Silk Road Studies Program Joint Centre, a US-Swedish think tank, and the editor of the Turkey Analyst. His articles have also appeared in the New York Times, Foreign Affairs and National Interest.

The bitter struggle of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, against the Turkish state has delivered inspirational but often tragic stories. This memoir by Kurdish revolutionary Sakine Cansız is one of them. Sakine, whose code name was ‘Sara’, co-founded the PKK in 1978 and dedicated her life to its cause. On 10 January 2013 she was assassinated in Paris in circumstances that remain officially unresolved. This is the first chapter of her iconic life, leading up to her arrest in 1979, covering dramatic events that unfolded against the backdrop of the Turkish revolutionary left. She writes about the excitement of entering the movement as a young woman, discovering she would have to challenge traditional gender roles as she rose amongst its ranks. She was one of the first to demand the recruitment and education of female revolutionaries, and demanded total gender equality within the PKK, which is now one of its central tenets. Today, ‘Sara’ is an inspiration to women fighting for liberation across the world. This is her story in her own words, and is in turns shocking, violent and path-breaking.

A People’s History of the German Revolution, 1918-1919

William A. Pelz A myth-busting popular history focusing on the roles of women, workers and ordinary people

In October 1918, war-weary German sailors mutinied when the Imperial Naval Command ordered their engagement in one final, fruitless battle with the British Royal Navy. This revolt, in the dying embers of the World War One, quickly erupted into a full-scale revolution that toppled the monarchy and inaugurated a period of radical popular democracy. The establishment of the Weimar Republic in 1919 ended the revolution, relegating all but its most prominent leaders to a historical footnote. In A People’s History of the German Revolution, William A. Pelz cuts against the grain of mainstream accounts that tend to present the revolution as more of a ‘collapse’, or just a chaotic interregnum that preceded the country’s natural progression into a republic. Going beyond the familiar names of Karl Liebknecht, Rosa Luxemburg and Clara Zetkin, Pelz explores the revolution from the bottom up, focusing on the active role that women, rankand-file activists, and ordinary workers played in its events. Rejecting the depiction of agency as exclusively in the hands of international actors like Woodrow Wilson or the German elites, he makes the compelling case that, for a brief period, the actions of the common people shaped a truly revolutionary society. WILLIAM A. PELZ is Director of the Institute of Working Class History in Chicago, Illinois and a Professor of History at Elgin Community College. His recent works include Wilhelm Liebknecht and German Social Democracy (Haymarket, 2015), The Eugene V. Debs Reader (Merlin Press, 2014) and A People’s History of Modern Europe (Pluto, 2016).

Global capitalism is a precarious system. Relying on the steady flow of goods across the world, trans-national companies such as Walmart and Amazon depend on the work of millions in docks, warehouses and logistics centres to keep their goods moving. This is the global supply chain, and, if the chain is broken, capitalism grinds to a halt. This book looks at case studies across the world to uncover a network of resistance by workers who, despite their importance, often face exploitation and economic violence. Including first-hand wildcat strikes, organised blockades and boycotts, the authors explore a diverse range of case studies, from South China dockworkers to the transformation of the port of Piraeus in Greece, from the Southern California logistics sector, to dock workers in Chile and unions in Turkey. JAKE ALIMAHOMED-WILSON is an Associate Professor of Sociology at California State University, Long Beach. He is the author of Solidarity Forever? Race, Gender, and Unionism in the Ports of Southern California (Lexington Books, 2016) and co-author of Getting the Goods: Ports, Labor, and the Logistics Revolution (Cornell University Press, 2008). IMMANUEL NESS is Professor of Political Science at City University of New York.

Towards a Gay Communism: Elements of a Homosexual Critique Introduction by Massimo Prearo Foreword by Tim Dean Mario Mieli Definitive publication in English of a ground-breaking book of revolutionary queer theory

‘An indispensable, pioneering example of the long, difficult effort to articulate queer struggle with anti-capitalist struggle’ – Kevin Floyd, author of The Reification of Desire: Toward a Queer Marxism

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 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.

24 PLUTO PRESS / PLUTOBOOKS.COM

Thomas Sankara was one of the world’s most important anti-imperialist leaders of the late twentieth century. His declaration that fundamental socio-political change would require a ‘certain amount of madness’ drove the Burkinabé Revolution and resurfaced in the country’s popular uprising in 2014. This book looks at Sankara’s political philosophies and legacies and their relevance today. Analyses of his synthesis of Pan-Africanism and humanist Marxist politics, as well as his approach to gender, development, ecology and decolonisation offer new insights into Sankarist political philosophy. Critical evaluations of the limitations of the revolution examine his relationship with labour unions and other aspects of his leadership style. His legacy is revealed by looking at contemporary activists, artists and politicians who draw inspiration from Sankarist thought in social movement struggles, from South Africa to Burkina Faso. This book illustrates how Sankara’s political praxis continues to provide lessons and hope for decolonisation struggles today. With a preface by Horace Campbell. AMBER MURREY is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Sociology at The American University in Cairo. Her award-winning research considers contemporary Pan-Africanism, resistance to neocolonial violence, resource extraction and decolonisation. She has been published in a variety of academic journals, including Third World Quarterly, Political Geography, The Journal of Black Studies, The Postcolonialist and Capital & Class.


Painting the Town Red: Politics and the Arts During the 1919 Hungarian Soviet Republic Bob Dent An examination of the dialogue between art and politics during the brief Hungarian Soviet Republic

The intensely political cultural production that erupted during Hungary’s short-lived Soviet Republic of 1919 encompassed music, art, literature, film and theatre. Painting the Town Red is the little-known history of these developments. The book opens with an overview of the political context in Hungary after World War One and how the Soviet Republic emerged in the chaotic months which followed the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy. It looks at the subsequent roles during the Soviet Republic of artists, filmmakers, actors, musicians and writers, and the attitude of the newly established People’s Commissariat for Education and Culture, in which the internationally renowned Marxist György Lukács played a leading role. At its centre are the questions: why did so many prominent people in the arts world participate in the Soviet Republic and why did their initial enthusiasm later subside? Painting the Town Red is an important contribution to the lively debate about the interaction between art and politics. BOB DENT is a British independent researcher and writer. He has been living in Budapest since 1986 and has had several works published about Hungary, its history and culture, including Budapest 1956: Locations of Drama (Európa, 2006), Budapest: A Cultural and Literary History (Signal Books, 2007), Every Statue Tells a Story: Public Monuments in Budapest (Európa, 2009) and Hungary 1930 and the Forgotten History of a Mass Protest (Merlin Press, 2012).

26 PLUTO PRESS / PLUTOBOOKS.COM

Marx’s analysis of society has traditionally advanced a twoclass framework; of worker and capitalist. In Managerial Capitalism, Gerard Duménil and Dominique Lévy argue that a transition is underway towards a new mode of production, shaped by a third, intermediary class: managerialism. With a focus on the US and Europe in particular, the authors provide a historically rooted interpretation of major current economic and political trends. They argue that the transition towards managerialism as a new mode of production is much more advanced than usually understood, especially in the US. While reasserting the explanatory power of Marx’s theory of history and political economy, they update the Marxian framework to incorporate the transformation of relations of production and class patterns whose main expression has been the rise of managerial features. The book makes the case for a revision of Marxist analysis on analytical as well as political grounds. GERARD DUMÉNIL and DOMINIQUE LÉVY are economists and former Research Directors at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. They are members of the editorial board of Actuel Marx. They have co-authored many books, including The Crisis of Neoliberalism (Harvard University Press, 2014).


Hope Lies in the Proles: George Orwell and the Left

John Newsinger A critical account of Orwell’s politics, exploring his anti-fascism, criticism of the USSR and enduring commitment to socialism

George Orwell was one of the most significant literary figures on the left in the twentieth century. While titles such as 1984, Animal Farm and Homage to Catalonia are still rightly regarded as modern classics, his own politics are less well understood. Hope Lies in the Proles offers a sympathetic yet critical account of Orwell’s political thinking and its continued significance today. John Newsinger explores various aspects of Orwell’s politics, detailing Orwell’s attempts to change working-class consciousness, considering whether his attitude towards the working class was romantic, realistic or patronising - or all three at different times. He also asks whether Orwell’s anti-fascism was eclipsed by his criticism of the Soviet Union, and explores his ambivalent relationship with the Labour Party. Newsinger also breaks important new ground regarding Orwell’s shifting views on the USA, and his relationship with the Left and feminism. Focusing on the enduring interest in Orwell and his influence on current political causes, the book is ultimately a unique, nuanced attempt to demonstrate that Orwell remained a committed socialist up until his death. JOHN NEWSINGER is Professor of Modern History at Bath Spa University. He is the author of over a dozen books, including the graphic novel 1917: Russia’s Red Year (Bookmarks, 2016), British Counterinsurgency (Palgrave, 2015), The Blood Never Dried: A People’s History of the British Empire (Bookmarks, 2006) and Rebel City: Larkin, Connolly and the Dublin Labour Movement (Merlin, 2003).

Overripe Economy: American Capitalism and the Crisis of Democracy Alan Nasser The history of the development of the profoundly undemocratic American capitalism

Are democracy and capitalism incompatible? This is a new genealogy of the emergence of a finance-ridden, authoritarian, austerity-plagued American capitalism, from industrialisation to the present day. Providing a panoramic political-economic history of the US, it surveys the ruthlessly competitive capitalism of the nineteenth century, the maturation of industrial capitalism in the 1920s, the rise and fall of capitalism’s Golden Age and the ensuing decline into the modern era.

Class Matters: Inequality and Exploitation in Twenty-firstcentury Britain Charles Umney How class is structured in the call centres, office blocks and fast-food chains of modern Britain

This book shows how core Marxist concepts are vital to understanding increasing pay inequality, decreasing job security, increasing routinisation and managerial control of the labour process. Providing a critical analysis of competing perspectives, Umney argues that class must be understood as a dynamic and exploitative process integral to capitalism - rather than a descriptive categorisation - in order for us to better understand the gains capital has made at the expense of labour over the last four decades.

What’s Wrong With Rights?: Social Movements, Law and Liberal Imaginations Radha D’Souza A critique of liberal rights exposing the paradox between ‘good’ capitalism and the reality of its actions

How should social movements understand and engage with the concept of rights? In this provocative book, legal scholar and activist Radha D’Souza argues that the notion of ‘rights’ has been mobilised in support of transnational finance capitalism and imperialism. Liberal ideas like ‘accountability’, ‘governance’ and ‘democracy’ continue to be promoted by the Left, while in practice they reinforce existing relations of power. How did this come about, and what can we do to escape this paradox?

Media Amnesia: Rewriting the Economic Crisis

Laura Basu How the media has been complicit in sustaining free market capitalism

What role has the media played in shaping our current political moment? Rather than remembering its roots in the dynamics of ‘free market’ capitalism, the media remains devoted to a narrative of swollen public sectors, out-of-control immigration and benefits cheats. Going behind the coverage to decode the workings of media power, Basu shows that without a rejection of neoliberal capitalism we’ll be stuck in an infinite cycle of crisis.

Small is Necessary: Shared Living on a Shared Planet

Anitra Nelson Amidst crisis and fragmentation, the need for social, practical and sustainable housing is manifest

In an era of housing crises, environmental unsustainability and social fragmentation, the need for more sociable, affordable and sustainable housing is vital. The answer? Shared living — from joint households to land-sharing, cohousing and ecovillages. This book places contemporary models of ’alternative’ housing centre stage, arguing that they are outward-looking, culturally rich, with low ecological footprints and offer governance techniques for a more equitable and sustainable future.

Shifting Baselines of Europe: New Perspectives beyond Neoliberalism and Nationalism Edited by European Alternatives, Daphne Büllesbach, Marta Cillero and Lukas Stolz Opens the narrow discourse on the future of Europe and criticises the false dichotomy between nationalism and a neoliberal version of Europe

‘The ideas and projects presented in this book are exactly what the debate on Europe needs right now’ - Saskia Sassen, Professor of Sociology, Columbia University

This book opens the often narrow discourse on the future of Europe and criticises the false dichotomy between nationalism on the one hand and a neoliberal version of Europe on the other. Existing emancipatory projects from across the continent are presented together with reflections on strategies to achieve a democratic Europe beyond the nation state: from the municipal level to the level of transnational media, from technology and counter-surveillance to the systemic change provided by the commons movement and more. The shift towards a new way of thinking and doing politics is possible! With contributions by Etienne Balibar, Ulrike Guérot, Gesine Schwan, Renata Avila, Barbara Spinelli, Andreas Karitzis, Lorenzo Marsili, Jonas Staal, among others, and interviews with city governors from Madrid to Naples.

EUROPEAN ALTERNATIVES works to promote democracy, equality and culture beyond the nation states. With offices in four European countries and a network of activists and local groups stretching to over fourteen, the organisation is unique in being at once a breeding ground for new ideas and proposals for politics and culture at a European level.

Trouble on the Far Right: Contemporary Right-Wing Strategies and Practices in Europe Edited by Maik Fielitz and Laura Lotte Laloire A cutting-edge analysis on the increasing influence of the far right in Europe

‘Highly recommended, especially for those who wish to gain deeper insights into the European context of current rightwing movements’ - Ludovicus Schoenblick, zwischenzeit

In Europe, the far right is gaining momentum on the streets and in parliaments. By taking a close look at contemporary practices and strategies of far-right actors, the present volume explores this right-ward shift of European publics and politics. It assembles analyses of changing mobilization patterns and their effects on the local, national and transnational level. International experts, among them Tamir Bar-On, Liz Fekete, Matthew Kott, and Graham Macklin, scrutinise new forms of coalition building, mainstreaming and transnationalization tendencies as aspects of diversified far-right politics in Europe.
