Book SynopsisBased upon exhaustive research in all presidential libraries from Hoover to Clinton, the voluminous archives of the African National Congress [ANC] at Fort Hare University in South Africa, along with allied archives of the NAACP, the Ford and Rockefeller fortunes, etc., this is the most comprehensive account to date of the entangled histories of apartheid and Jim Crow that culminated in 1994 with the election of Nelson Mandela as president in Pretoria.The author traces in detail the close ties between e.g. Mandela, Robeson, and Du Bois--among others--and how their working in tandem with the socialist camp (particularly the Soviet Union and Cuba) was the deciding factor (along with the struggles of Africans and their allies on both sides of the Atlantic) in compelling the reluctant retreat of the comrades-in-arms: apartheid and Jim Crow. However, weeks after the collapse of the Berlin Wall the apartheid regime chose to free Mandela and to legalize the ANC and its close a

Pluto Press Abolition Revolution
Book SynopsisAn abolitionist manifesto for everyone fighting for revolutionTrade Review‘A powerful analysis of the transformative potential of the abolitionist project. Day and McBean show why we must go beyond shifting a few dollars around to directly challenge the logics of capitalism, racism and patriarchy at the heart of the carceral state’ -- Alex S. Vitale, author of ‘The End of Policing’'Vibrantly chronicles the cultural and political landscape of abolitionist practices in the UK. Day and McBean weave a powerful array of analysis, histories and voices - from organisers, scholars, unionists and/or incarcerated people - to offer profoundly necessary historical lessons that formulate the pathways that shape our abolition feminist revolutions' -- Erica R. Meiners, co-author of ‘Abolition. Feminism. Now.’'Aviah Sarah Day and Shanice Octavia McBean speak with such eloquence, conviction and passion that readers will want to join their struggle for abolition revolution. Their trenchant and concrete analysis of the criminalisation of the Black and Asian youth, of carceral white bourgeois feminism, gentrification, police and state violence make essential reading. Let's heed their call for an abolitionist future' -- Francoise Vergès, author of A Decolonial Feminism'Not only does this superlative book expertly dismantle the dogmas of liberal anti-racism and carceral feminism which reproduce the systems of power, it also points the way forward to a post-abolitionist future in a meticulous, clear-headed way. Highly recommended' -- Silvia Federici, author of ’Caliban and the Witch’'A thorough, engaging and important read - that held me through new information whilst never sacrificing depth. I’m so glad this book exists!' -- Travis Alabanza, award winning writer, performer and theatre maker'An essential contribution to the debate on strategies for effective political action against systems of criminalisation. A must for read for activists and those who seek a deeper understanding of the development of international abolitionist movement and its relevance to radical and revolutionary politics today' -- Leila Howe, founding member of the Race Today Collective'An energising, and timely contribution to global debates about abolition and the growing interest in the UK in building on the organising and resistance to state violence and challenging the racism, misogyny and harms of policing and incarceration. A book to help us imagine and develop a world without carceral injustice but transformative social and racial justice.' -- Deborah Coles, Director of INQUEST'This book adds to the excellent emerging literature about police, prison and border abolition in a UK specific context. Abolition Revolution is very special because McBean and Day combine deep theoretical and historical knowledge with practical organising experience, specifically in the context of violence against women and austerity. If you feel that there must be a better way to deal with harm and violence then this book is for you.' -- Yara Rodrigues Fowler, ‘Guardian’'Amazing!' -- A reviewerTable of ContentsIntroduction Thesis 1. A national abolitionist movement has erupted in Britain. Abolition is a tool to reimagine revolutionary politics. Thesis 2. Our journey to abolition in Sisters Uncut was long and bumpy: abolition is a road, not a destination! Part 1 - The Tools of Police Power Thesis 3. Race is at the heart of policing; without race policing can’t function. Dismantling the police means dismantling race. Thesis 4. The police need public consent in order to exist. Withdrawing our consent brings us closer to abolition. Thesis 5. Coercion and control are the tactics of abusers, and coercing and controlling the working class is the job of the police. Abolition is class struggle! Thesis 6. Women have always experienced the sharp end of state violence: if your feminism is carceral, it’s bullshit. Part 2 - Roots In Empire: The History of Criminalisation and Resistance Thesis 7. Class struggle in the 18th century sparked a prison abolitionist fire. Abolition is nothing new. Thesis 8. The UK rehearsed its strategies of control and punishment in the colonies. Abolition continues anti-colonial and class struggle in Britain today. Part 3 - Systems of Criminalisation Today Thesis 9. From student revolt to urban rebellion, abolition must harness the radical energy of our youth! Thesis 10. Bordering and policing protects colonial, imperialist and capitalist wealth. Open borders is abolition and abolition is open borders! Thesis 11. From the streets to the cell block incarcerated people have organised to resist state violence. Thesis 12. The 'War on Terror' expanded policing powers into everyday institutions. Fighting Islamophobic racism is central to abolitionist struggle. Thesis 13. Capitalist crisis, neoliberalism and gentrification drive racist ‘gangs’ policing in Black communities. Abolition is a struggle against the whole system! Part 4 - Abolitionist Futures Thesis 14. Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities have led fierce resistance to state violence. Abolition must unite different struggles. Thesis 15. Crime is a social construct, but harm is real. Revolution is an essential ingredient to building transformative approaches to harm from the community level up. Thesis 16. Revolution needs you… Part 5 - Symposium: Abolition in the UK

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Imperial Bodies
Book SynopsisThis innovative volume demonstrates that the body was central to the construction and maintenance of British authority in India. Imperial Bodies explores ways in which the transformation of the British presence in India between 1800 and 1947 involved and relied upon changes in the way the British in India managed, disciplined and displayed their bodies. The move from commerce to control, and then to imperialism and Empire corresponded to a shift in bodily norms. As the nineteenth century progressed, an openness and interest in India gave way to a ban on things Indian. The British rejected curries for tinned ham, cool white clothing for black broadcloth and Indian mistresses for English wives. By the twentieth century, the British official had been transformed into an upright, decent representative of British virtues whose task was to bring civilization to India. By the late nineteenth century, racial theory focused attention on the physique to such an extent that the bTrade Review'I am deeply impressed by the assurance, craftsmanship and historical judgement displayed by Imperial Bodies. It represents the new fusion of colonial history and body history at its very best.' Roy Porter, Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine 'Collingham's work on the physical experience of the British is a remarkable piece of research and analysis. Perhaps the most extraordinary part of the work is her section at the end of the book on the "Social Body" where she describes the new tasks (mostly not undertaken) that confronted the British understanding of their bodies as the moment of Independence of India and Pakistan loomed.' Gene Irschick, University of California at Berkeley "its ambition is to be applauded" Mark Harrison, University of Oxford 'Lively and insightful.' Times Literary Supplement 'A first-rate read ... What makes Imperial Bodies such fun to delve into is the mass of fascinating social detail that its author has uncovered and assembled; by turns medical, biological, culinary, sartorial, sexual, even scatological, drawn from sources as diverse as advertisements for soft flannels in The Englishman, Chota Sahib's Camp Recipes for Camp People (Madras, 1890) and the Whipping Bill of 1864. In sum, a fine body of work.' The Spectator 'Beautifully written, this history of the body during the Raj is a telling antidote to the traditional imperial histories of the British occupation of India. Weaving analytical and empirical knowledge E.M. Collingham produces a very readable and at times shocking history of British arrogance and ignorance of Indian cultures and histories ... It is a remarkable book, one that reaches well beyond an academic audience to all of us concerned with the trends behind the cultural and social inequalities and confusions with which we continue to struggle.' Development 'Using this evolving parade of the colonial presence, Cambridge academic E.M. Collingham provides a fascinating sweep of Anglo-Indian society and its attitudes to a variety of topics, among them the home, dress, food, cleanliness, sexuality, and servants.' The Natal Witness "I found this book more illuminating than any previous postcolonial history, both because it sees the world that children saw - which is not far from a world that an observant doctor sees - and because it goes further in accounting for it and explaining its unique mix of lovable and repellant features than anything else I have read." International Journal of Epidemiology "Readers will find much that is original and of interest in this book." Victorian Studies "This is a highly readable and lucid account of a relatively new topic in imperial history and historiography and should prove of value to historians as well as scholars in a number of other disciplines." Kleio "Well researched, clearly argued, and full of rich and interesting detail, this is a book that will be of interest to anthropologists, culture historians and scholars working in the field of colonial and post-colonial studies."

Book SynopsisIn Conquerors, New York Times bestselling author Roger Crowley gives us the epic story of the emergence of Portugal, a small, poor nation that enjoyed a century of maritime supremacy thanks to the daring and navigational skill of its explorers—a tactical advantage no other country could match.
