Technological advances made during the twentieth century have expanded production greatly, but in the pursuit of corporate profit and at the expense of human need and ecological sustainability. Far from a time when \"capital accumulation\" could be considered a prerequisite for liberation, the working class now more than ever can dispel the myth that obstructions such as the state, hierarchical social relations, and political parties (vanguards) are necessary appendages to their struggle for freedom.

Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans, the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly, the entrenched system of racial segregation seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape.

With over 20 years of experience practicing and teaching Kingian Nonviolence, Haga offers us a practical approach to societal conflict first begun by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, which has been developed into a fully workable, step-by-step training and deeply transformative philosophy (as utilized by the Women's March and Black Lives Matter movements). Kingian Nonviolence takes on the timely issues of endless protest and activist burnout, and presents tried-and-tested strategies for staying resilient, creating equity, and restoring peace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookspace Columbus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36470627696792,"sku":"HLNGRSSTNC","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0435\/6299\/1768\/products\/healingresistance.jpg?v=1600800927"},{"product_id":"debt-the-first-5-000-years-david-graeber","title":"Debt: The First 5,000 Years | David Graeber","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpdated and Expanded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e560 pages | Melville House | 10.28.14\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe groundbreaking international best-seller that turns everything you think about money, debt, and society on its head—from the “brilliant, deeply original political thinker” David Graeber.\u003cbr\u003e--Rebecca Solnit, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMen Explain Things to Me\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBefore there was money, there was debt.

Fanon uses the fifth year of the Algerian Revolution as a point of departure for an explication of the inevitable dynamics of colonial oppression. This is a strong, lucid, and militant book; to read it is to understand why Fanon says that for the colonized, having a gun is the only chance you still have of giving a meaning to your death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookspace Columbus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40186991411397,"sku":"ADYNGCLNLSM","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0435\/6299\/1768\/products\/adyingcolonialism.jpg?v=1626809204"},{"product_id":"copy-of-society-of-the-spectacle-guy-debord","title":"The Society of the Spectacle | Guy Debord","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e128 pages | Critical Editions | 5.1.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst published in 1967, Guy Debord's stinging revolutionary critique of contemporary society, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Society of the Spectacle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e has since acquired a cult status.

Invited to Israel to give the keynote address at an LGBT studies conference at Tel Aviv University, Schulman declines, joining other artists and academics honoring the Palestinian call for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel. Anti-occupation activists in the United States, Canada, Israel, and Palestine come together to help organize an alternative solidarity visit for the American activist. Schulman takes us to an anarchist, vegan café in Tel Aviv, where she meets anti-occupation queer Israelis, and through border checkpoints into the West Bank, where queer Palestinian activists welcome her into their spaces for conversations that will change the course of her life. She describes the dusty roads through the West Bank, where Palestinians are cut off from water and subjected to endless restrictions while Israeli settler neighborhoods have full freedoms and resources.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Schulman learns more, she questions the contradiction between Israel's investment in presenting itself as gay friendly--financially sponsoring gay film festivals and parades--and its denial of the rights of Palestinians. At the same time, she talks with straight Palestinian activists about their position in relation to homosexuality and gay rights in Palestine and internationally. Back in the United States, Schulman draws on her extensive activist experience to organize a speaking tour for some of the Palestinian queer leaders whom she had met and trusted. Dubbed \"Al-Tour,\" it takes the activists to LGBT community centers, conferences, and universities throughout the United States. Its success solidifies her commitment to working to end Israel's occupation of Palestine, and it kindles her larger hope that a new \"queer international\" will emerge and join other movements demanding human rights across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookspace Columbus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40621137133765,"sku":"ISRLPLSNQRNTRNTNL","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0435\/6299\/1768\/products\/israel_palestineandthequeerinternational.jpg?v=1632160339"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookspacecolumbus.com\/collections\/shop-history\/translations.oembed","provider":"Bookspace Columbus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
