‘Yanis Varoufakis is a rare economist: skilled at explaining ideas, happy to join in public debates and able to put his discipline in a broader context.’ Aditya Chakrabortty, Guardian lead economics writer
‘urgent, timely and absolutely necessary.’ Terry Eagleton
In this remarkable and provocative book, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis takes apart the dominant belief that the crises in the eurozone and the global economy have their roots in financialization and the ineffectual regulation of banks. Rather, he argues, they are symptoms of a much deeper malaise which can be traced to the Great Crash of 1929, and which has come to be embodied in the US-dominated system – the ‘global minotaur’. Revealing how we might reintroduce a modicum of reason into what has become a perniciously irrational economic order, The Global Minotaur is a seminal account of the global economic system, which demands new ways of thinking and radically new policies. Yanis Varoufakis is the finance minister of Greece. He has taught at the universities of Essex, East Anglia, Cambridge, Glasgow, Texas and Sydney. He continues to blog at www.yanisvaroufakis.eu.

In her own words, the incredible story of the FBI’s most wanted woman. Following recent high-profile cases of police brutality in the US, a new movement has emerged under the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’. In that movement, the name and spirit of Assata Shakur has returned to the streets. In 2013 Assata, founding member of the Black Liberation Army, former Black Panther and godmother of Tupac
Marikana
Shakur, became the first woman to make the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list. Her trial and conviction for the murder of a white state trooper in the spring of 1973 was highly controversial and divided America. This intensely personal and political autobiography is a major contribution to the history of black liberation. Assata Shakur is the FBI’s most wanted woman. In 1979 she escaped from a US maximum security prison, was granted asylum in Cuba, and has been a fugitive ever since.

A gripping investigation into a dark moment in South Africa’s recent history. In 2012, the world looked on in horror as South African police gunned down striking miners, leaving 34 dead and many more wounded. The massacre shattered the international image of South Africa as a harmonious ‘rainbow nation’. Based on an in-depth investigation on the ground in South Africa, Guardian journalist Jack Shenker explores the origins of the massacre
as well as the resultant rise of worker militancy. In the process, he exposes attempts by the ANC government to conceal the truth of the massacre, and raises important questions about the involvement of international mining interests in the violence. Jack Shenker is a journalist and author based in London and Cairo. He was formerly Egypt correspondent for the Guardian.

‘An admirably clear and calm survey.’
North Korea continues to arouse curiosity and fear in equal measure. The world’s most secretive nuclear power, it still has Gulag-style prison camps, allows no access to the Internet and bans its people from talking to foreigners without official approval. In this remarkable and eyeopening book, internationally best-selling author Paul French
examines in forensic detail the history and politics of North Korea, Pyongyang’s complex relations with South Korea, Japan, China and America, and Kim Jong-un’s increasingly belligerent leadership. Paul French was awarded the 2013 Edgar Prize for his international best-seller Midnight in Peking. He lived and worked in Shanghai for many years and has written a number of books dealing with China’s pre-1949 history, Asian politics and current affairs.

‘the best introduction yet to Thailand’s present political impasse… A brilliant book.’ Simon Long, Banyan columnist, The Economist
The book banned by the Thai police as a ‘threat to public order and morality’. Thailand stands at a defining moment in its history. Scores have been killed on the streets of Bangkok. Freedom of speech is routinely denied. Democracy appears increasingly distant. And many Thais fear that the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej is expected to unleash even greater instability. Breaking Thailand’s draconian lèse majesté law, Andrew MacGregor Marshall provides a comprehensive
explanation that for the first time makes sense of the crisis. From the sweat and swirl of street protests, to intrigue and corruption in the royal court, this is a unique account of a nation on the brink of historic change. Andrew MacGregor Marshall is a journalist, political risk consultant and corporate investigator, focusing mainly on Southeast Asia. A fugitive from Thai law as a result of his journalism about the royal family, he now lives in Scotland.

‘Forces the reader to question our government’s policies in terms of efficacy, adherence to law and, most painfully, moral grounds. A clarion call to reverse course … Read it and act!’ Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPI N K for Peace.
Welcome to the Drone Age. Where self-defence has become naked aggression. Where courage has become cowardice. Where black ops have become standard operating procedure. In this remarkable and often shocking book, Laurie Calhoun dissects the moral, psychological and cultural impact of remote-control killing in the twenty-first century. Find out why a drone operator is no different from a mafia hitman, and the connection between the killing of Trayvon Martin by a US security officer and the drone killing of a teenager in Yemen. We Kill Because We Can takes a scalpel to the dark heart of Western foreign policy and uncovers disturbing truths which will force all of us to question the very foundations of Western foreign policy. Laurie Calhoun is the author of War and Delusion: A Critical Examination as well as dozens of essays on war and morality.

‘A great historian of empire.’ Edward Said
‘An erudite Marxist historian with wide-ranging interests that spanned virtually every continent.’ Tariq Ali
While there have been many analyses of American imperialism, few equal the breadth or insight of this seminal text, one of the first to provide a historical perspective on the origins of the American empire. Far reaching and ambitious in its scope, the book combines accounts of the early relationship between native Americans and the white population with readings of the works of key cultural figures such as Melville and Whitman, as well as an analysis of the way in which money and politics became so closely intertwined in American democracy. Eric Hobsbawm’s preface provides insight into his own views on American imperialism as well being a valuable introduction to Victor Kiernan’s work. Together, they shed useful light on issues such as America’s lack of respect for international agreements and the right to pre-emptive defence – issues which remain urgent today. Victor Kiernan (1913–2009) taught in the History Department at the University of Edinburgh from 1970 until his retirement. He is the author of The Lords of Human Kind (Zed Books, 2015), European Empires from Conquest to Collapse, Shakespeare: Poet and Citizen, amongst other books.

‘One of the leading feminists of her generation.’ The Guardian
‘Nawal el Saadawi writes with directness and passion, transforming the systematic brutalisation of peasants and of women in to powerful allegory.’ New York Times
‘All the men I did get to know … filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face.’ So begins Firdaus’s remarkable story of rebellion against a society founded on lies, hypocrisy, brutality and oppression. Born to a peasant family in the Egyptian countryside, Firdaus struggles through childhood, seeking compassion and knowledge in a world which gives her little of either. As she grows up and escapes the fetters of her childhood, each new relationship teaches her a bitter but liberating truth – that the only free people are those who want nothing, fear nothing and hope for nothing. This classic novel has been an inspiration to countless people across the world. Saadawi’s searing indictment of society’s brutal treatment of women continues to resonate today. Nawal El Saadawi was born in 1931, in a small village outside Cairo. She is the author of over fifty novels and short stories. As well as being a world-renowned novelist, she is a trained psychiatrist and outspoken advocate for feminism, socialism and anti-imperialism.

Three classic El Saadawi novels in one volume, tackling religion, love and women’s emancipation. God Dies by the Nile is Nawal El Saadawi’s classic attempt to square religion with a society in which women are respected as equals. Set in Kafr El Teen – a beautiful, sleepy village on the banks of the Nile – it follows Zakeya, an ordinary villager, as she awakens to and struggles against the injustice and oppression around her.

A growing sense of malaise in both new and established democracies has led some to assert that these are not democracies at all. Through a vast range of empirical analysis of a variety of voting methods, across twenty different nations, Roslyn Fuller presents the data that makes this contention indisputable. Proving that the party which forms the government rarely receives the majority of the popular vote, that electoral systems regularly produce manufactured majorities and that the better funded side invariably wins such contests in both elections and referenda, Fuller’s findings challenge the most fundamental elements of both national politics and broader society. But there is hope. Beast and Gods argues for a return to the Aristotelian conception of participatory politics and offers a powerful challenge to the liberal view that democracy should only be about individual citizens seeking to fulfil their particular interests. Roslyn Fuller is research associate at Waterford Institute of Technology and has lectured in international law at Trinity College, Dublin and National University of Ireland, Maynooth. She is also legal correspondent for Russia Today, contributing a regular column on issues of international law.

A book which challenges the idea that paid work should define our lives, taking inspiration from people who have already dared to live without jobs. Paid work is of central importance to people in modern societies. Yet, for many of us, our relationship with paid work is not a happy one. In this original and thought-provoking book, David Frayne asks whether we might consider an alternative to the central place of work in political visions of the future. Drawing on original empirical research into the lives of people who are actively resisting employment, either by reducing their hours to a minimum, or by giving up work altogether, Frayne asks what motivated these people to disconnect from work, how they cope, and what they do with their free time. Are they ‘deviants and malingerers’, or is it possible to learn something positive and inspiring from their beliefs and practices? A crucial dissection of the work centered nature of modern society, and the ethical and political resistance to it, The Refusal of Work calls for a more humane and sustainable vision of social progress. David Frayne is a part-time lecturer in sociology at Cardiff University and a freelance research associate for Public Health Wales.
The Politics of Every Body Feminism, Queer Theory and Marxism at the Intersection
Constituting a paradigm shift in gender studies, this book argues that only a materialist queer theory is capable of creating a true politics of liberation. October 2015 272 Format: 216 x 138mm ISBNs: 9781783602872 pb 9781783602889 hb Pub date: Extent:

This is not a book about alternative sexualities, nor is it a book about desire. The Politics of Every Body examines the production and maintenance of the terms ‘man’, ‘woman’ and ‘other', the contradictions of these categories and the prospects of a Marxist approach to queer bodies. Few thinkers have attempted to reconcile queer and Marxist analysis. Those who have propose the key contested site to be that of desire/sexual expression. This emphasis on desire, Lewis argues, is symptomatic of the neoliberal project and has led to a continued fascination with the politics of identity. Lewis develops a theory of gender and the sexed body that is wedded to the realities of a capitalist political economy. Boldly calling for a new, materialist queer theory, Lewis defines a politics of liberation that is intersectional, transnational and grounded in lived experience. Holly Lewis is an assistant professor of philosophy at Texas State University, where she teaches continental philosophy, aesthetics and political philosophy.

Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores develops the analysis begun in the seminal feminist work Mothers, Monsters, Whores, arguing that most characterizations of ‘violent’ women are heavily gendered, and calls for a new, non-gendered, theory of individual violence in global politics. Looking at high-profile case studies of women in terrorist groups and genocidal governments, the book analyses how the social, political and historical context shapes the actions of ‘violent’ women. The book shows how often this context is either forgotten or skewed in gender-dominated narratives. In a world of increasing turmoil and destruction, Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores brings an essential feminist perspective to the question of women’s violence, mapping the intersection between gender and other identifiers, such as race, religion and geopolitical location. Caron Gentry lectures in international relations at the University of St Andrews. She is the incoming chair of the Feminist Theory and Gender Studies Section of the International Studies Association and an associate editor for the International Feminist Journal of Politics. Laura Sjoberg is associate professor of political science at the University of Florida.

Women’s empowerment is critical to environmental sustainability, isn’t it? When Friends of the Earth asked this question on Facebook half of respondents said yes and half said no, with women as likely to say no as men. This collection of articles and interviews, from some of the leading lights of the environmental and feminist movements, demonstrates that achieving gender equality is vital if we are to protect the environment upon which we all depend. It is a rallying call to environmental campaigning groups and other environmentalists who have, on the whole, neglected women’s empowerment in their work. FoE hopes that the book will encourage the environmental movement and women’s movement to join in fighting the twin evils of women’s oppression and environmental degradation, because social justice and environmental sustainability are two sides of the same coin. Friends of the Earth campaigns across the world for a positive and sustainable relationship between human beings and the natural environment, and for a world based on social justice. www.foe.co.uk

In the past quarter-century, ninety-eight wars have been fought. Twenty-six of these are still ongoing. The bill for maintaining huge stores of weapons and some 70 million people in uniform currently stands at $1.7 trillion a year. Of these wars, over 85 per cent are not settled on the battlefield; they are fought to desperately hurting stalemates, eventually being turned over to diplomats and politicians who go in search of whatever facesaving outcomes may still be available. In this brave and discerning book, Ernie Regehr explains the approaches and initiatives needed to steer away from the futility of global, military effort. Combining four decades of experience in conflict zones, Regehr boldly shows that political stability will never be issued from the barrel of a gun. Ernie Regehr is co-founder of Project Ploughshares, one of Canada’s leading peace and security NGOs. He is senior fellow in Arctic security at The Simons Foundation of Vancouver, and research fellow at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, Conrad Grebel University College, the University of Waterloo.

Nigeria’s story is a complex one. How, despite the ravages of colonialism, civil war, ongoing economic disappointment and most recently the Boko Haram armed insurgency, has the country managed to stay together for a hundred years? Why, despite an abundance of oil, mineral and agricultural wealth, have so many of its people remained in poverty? These are the key questions explored by Richard Bourne in this remarkable and wide-ranging account of Nigeria’s history since it came into existence as a defined geographical entity in 1914. Featuring a wealth of original research and interviews, this is an essential insight into the shaping of a country where – despite the seemingly dashed hopes that were raised at independence – there still remains hope that ‘the Nigeria project’ will succeed. Richard Bourne is senior research fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, London University and secretary to the Ramphal Institute. He has written and edited eleven books and numerous reports, including Catastrophe: What Went Wrong in Zimbabwe? (Zed Books, 2011) and Lula of Brazil: The Story So Far (Zed Books, 2008).

Lying at the centre of a tumultuous region, the Central African Republic and its turbulent history have often been overlooked. Since independence in 1960, the CAR has had only one democratic transfer of power, in 1993. Since then, army mutinies and serial rebellion have resulted in two major successful coups. Over the course of these upheavals, the country has become a laboratory for peacebuilding initiatives, hosting a two-decadelong succession of UN and regional peacekeeping, peacebuilding and special political missions. Drawing together the foremost experts on the Central African Republic, this much-needed volume provides the first in-depth analysis of the country’s recent history of rebellion, instability, and international and regional intervention. Tatiana Carayannis is deputy director of the Social Science Research Council’s Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum and leads the forum’s Africa programmes. Louisa Lombard is an assistant professor of anthropology at Yale University. She has worked in the CAR as a field consultant to several international organizations, including Human Rights Watch, Small Arms Survey, Refugees International and the World Bank.

An original investigation into the tensions of liberal democracy in post-apartheid South Africa. Two unmistakable features describe post-apartheid politics. The first is the formal framework of liberal democracy, including regular elections, multiple political parties and a range of progressive social rights. The second is the politics of the ‘extraordinary’, which includes a political discourse that relies on threats and the use of violence, and protests over various popular grievances.
In this highly original work, Thiven Reddy shows how conventional approaches to understanding democratization have failed to capture the complexities of South Africa’s post-apartheid transition. An important work that sheds light on the nature of modernity, democracy and the complex politics of contemporary South Africa.

How the ‘rainbow nation’ consensus has fractured, making space for new political possibilities. Twenty years on from South Africa’s first democratic election, the postapartheid political consensus is more fractured than ever before. Police violence seems to be the order of the day. For many, this has signalled the end of the South African dream; politics, they declare, is the preserve of the corrupt and the violent. They are wrong.
In South Africa’s Insurgent Citizens, Julian Brown argues that a new kind of politics can be seen on the streets and in the courtrooms of the country. This politics is made by a new kind of citizen - one that is neither respectful nor passive, but instead insurgent. Julian Brown is lecturer in political studies at the University of the Witwatersrand and a member of the Wits History Workshop.

In the wake of economic crises in much of the developed world, alongside rapid economic growth in parts of Africa, the impetus to ‘return’ is likely to increase in the coming years. Such returnees are often portrayed as agents of development who will bring with them economic capital, knowledge and skills as well as social connections and experience gained in the ‘developed North’. Yet the reality is altogether more complex. In this original and much-needed volume, based on extensive original fieldwork, the authors reveal a gaping mismatch between policy assumptions and migrants’ actual practices. In contrast to the prevailing optimism in policies on migration and development, Africa’s Return Migrants demonstrates that the capital obtained abroad is not always advantageous and that it sometimes even hampers successful entrepreneurship and other forms of economic, political and social engagement. Lisa Åkesson is associate professor in social anthropology at the University of Gothenburg and senior researcher at the Nordic Africa Institute. Maria Eriksson Baaz is associate professor at the School of Global Studies, the University of Gothenburg and senior researcher at the Nordic Africa Institute.

Within the already heavily polarized debate on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, parallels between Israel and apartheid South Africa remain highly contentious. A number of prominent academic and political commentators, including former US president Jimmy Carter, have argued that Israel’s treatment of its Arab-Israeli citizens and the people of the occupied territories amounts to a system of oppression no less brutal or inhumane than that of South Africa’s white supremacists. Yet while the ‘apartheid question’ has become increasingly visible in this debate, there has been little in the way of genuine scholarly analysis of the similarities (or otherwise) between the Zionist and apartheid regimes. In Peoples Apart, Ilan Pappé brings together a range of analysts to assess the implications of the apartheid analogy for international law, activism and policy making. Peoples Apart offers a bold and incisive perspective on one of the defining moral questions of our age. Ilan Pappé is professor of history, co-director of the Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies and director of the Palestine Studies Centre at the University of Exeter.

The 2011 revolutions that started in Tunisia and swept across the region have been extensively covered, but until now Bahrain has almost been forgotten in the events that have dramatically changed the region. Bahrain Uprising reveals a complex society defined by its conflicts, in which oil has enriched the ruling elite while the nation remains underdeveloped. Drawing on testimonies from those involved, this book provides a voice for the lived experiences of ordinary Bahrainis and describes the way in which a dynamic culture of street protest continues to hamper the efforts of the ruling elite to rebrand itself as a liberal monarchy. Bahrain Uprising will be of lasting value not only to scholars and students of the Middle East, but also to activists seeking to learn from the uprising’s legacy. Ala’a Shehabi is a co-founder of Bahrain Watch, an independent collective monitoring state corruption and promoting transparency. She writes regularly for Foreign Policy, Open Democracy, Guardian CiF and Jadaliyya and speaks widely on TV and public forums. Marc Owen Jones is a member of Bahrain Watch. He has written extensively about Bahrain for CNN, Democracy Now, Index on Censorship, Muftah, Your Middle East and Middle East Eye.

The Arab Spring has consistently confounded expectations. While many in the West believed that the uprisings would usher in a new age of liberal democracy in the Middle East, in reality their outcomes have proven to be more complex. Most ominously of all, many countries have already experienced a dramatic counterrevolution, while others have descended into chaos and internal conflict. Richard Falk, a distinguished scholar of international law and former UN Rapporteur on Palestine, has been writing on the Arab Spring since its inception in 2011. Chaos and Counterrevolution offers a unique perspective on these momentous events. From the Syrian civil war and the emergence of ISIS to the coup in Egypt and the Gezi Park protests in Turkey, Falk explores how and why the Arab Spring has drifted so far from its original goals, and demonstrates how the West has exacerbated the problem through inept and counterproductive interventionism. Richard Falk is professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University, the author of more than twenty books and a specialist on the role of international law in global politics.

In Jordan, amidst censorship, repression and election rigging, political activism is limited – despite the democratic opening glimpsed in 1989. In this important new book, Pénélope Larzillière charts the path of longstanding activists and shows how opposition has shifted from underground movements to a heavily controlled public sphere. They discuss their motivations, their commitments and the consequences it has had throughout their lives. These political journeys serve to highlight the general conditions for political activism in a repressive regime, but also the meaning individuals attach to their commitment and their chosen ideologies. How do future activists perceive different points of reference and how do they decide on their first affiliations? Pénélope Larzillière is senior research fellow at the Research Institute for Development in Paris.

Cult-of-personality or true democracy? The overwhelming success of left-wing leaders in Latin America has positioned the region at the forefront of political debate. Conventional wisdom presents this trend as a handful of charismatic individuals leading an ideological challenge to liberal democracy. But is it really that simple? Based on exclusive interviews with over four hundred politicians – former presidents, vice presidents, current party officials and hundreds more – Latin America’s Leaders exposes what the ‘Pink Tide’ really thinks of its presidents. Arguing that the political styles of leaders such as Hugo Chávez, Rafael Correa, Álvaro Uribe and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are far better explained in the context of their respective countries’ party systems, the authors examine political stability through the paradoxical relationship between democracy and the concentration of power in charismatic individuals. Rut Diamint is professor of international relations in the Department of Political Science and International Studies at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. Laura Tedesco is associate professor of political science at Saint Louis University, Madrid Campus, and at Instituto de Empresa.

The precarious state of economic and political security in Latin America. Linking the experiences of labour migrants crossing Latin America’s international borders, indigenous Mexicans defending their territories against capitalist mega-projects and farmers tired of paying protection to criminal mafias, The New War on the Poor looks at how and why governments are failing to provide security to disadvantaged citizens, whilst painting them as a menace to the rest of society.
Showing that shifts between public power and private interest, combined with deeply rooted social discrimination, lead to serious problems in implementing security policies, John Gledhill looks at an array of unintended consequences and resistance, arguing that it is not difficult to specify alternatives, but moving towards them will depend on advances in democratization. John Gledhill is Max Gluckman professor of social anthropology at the University of Manchester, and a fellow of the British Academy.

Original fieldwork mapping crime, insecurity and violence in Latin American cities. Latin American cities are amongst the most violent in the world. In response, governments and law enforcement agencies have been facing increasing pressure to address violence through repressive strategies, which in turn has led to law enforcement based on the victimization of entire marginal populations. Featuring original fieldwork across a broad array of case studies,
this cutting-edge volume focuses on questions not only of crime, insecurity and violence but also of Latin American cities’ ability to respond to these problems in creative and productive ways.

The complexities of indigenous self-determination in Venezuela. Considered a beacon of twentyfirst century socialism by many, Venezuela is witnessing the paradoxical emergence of ‘indigenous capitalisms’ as government and various indigenous actors are driven by notions of development grounded in the ideology of multiculturalism. Boldly arguing that romanticized notions of cultural indigeneity hide growing class struggle, this book is
essential reading not just for those interested in Venezuela, but everyone interested in broader debates on the prospects of democracy, contemporary states and alternatives to capitalism worldwide.
