Lusch, Chronicles *\u003cbr\u003eRiveting. * Jill Lepore, The New Yorker   *\u003cbr\u003eEngrossing, well-crafted, The Hardhat Riot… argues persuasively that the riot sparked a vast national political shift driven by a widening divide between the working class and the educated elite that has led to the era of the Trump presidency... Kuhn writes with empathy for both sides... Kuhn's accounts of the violence are vivid and raw... The author concludes with a sharp analysis of how the revolt of the White working class almost immediately reshaped American politics, beginning with Nixon's opportunistic claim of blue-collar Whites as \"Silent Majority\" supporters of his law-and-order presidency. Kuhn shows the reverberations over the decades, right up to the making of Donald Trump's political base... Kuhn argues that class divisions have driven people so far apart that it's as if Americans now live in 'entirely different places, even if they are still called by one name * America.'\"  The Washington Post Book Review *\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps the best book ever on how Democrats lost the white working class. The Hardhat Riot is a great read, but also a must-read to understand the voters that Democrats neglected at their own peril.\" * James Carville, former Chief Strategist for President Bill Clinton   *\u003cbr\u003eOver the past 15 years few writers have covered this realignment with the consistency of David Paul Kuhn, whose warnings about the reasons white working people were moving away from the Democrats were largely dismissed by the news media and party elites... Mr. Kuhn remained an unacknowledged prophet... Now he has synthesized his message with a lesson from history: The Hardhat Riot, a riveting account of... [a] clash on the streets of New York [that] came to symbolize the irreconcilable division taking shape in the rest of the country... Mr. Kuhn avoids polemics and judgment, yet leads the reader to understand the deeper questions implicit in so many of today's political debates... The Hardhat Riot insightfully explains why and how this happened. Perhaps the Democratic Party's leaders will finally understand what David Paul Kuhn has been trying to tell them.\" * Jim Webb, The Wall Street Journal Book Review   *\u003cbr\u003eThe Hardhat Riot, by David Paul Kuhn, vividly evokes... a blue-collar rampage whose effects still ripple, not the least of them being Donald Trump's improbable ascension to the presidency... this is a compelling narrative.\" * The New York Times Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e[An] outstanding new book... through dogged research… combining eyewitness reports with his own gifted storytelling to craft a riveting narrative. In our current intellectual climate, which seems to prize tendentiousness, it is rare to find such a clear-eyed and non-polemical work of history.\" * National Review *\u003cbr\u003eThis is red-meat history with a hot splash of tabasco. David Paul Kuhn brings to life a period that is not only fascinating in itself but also illuminates the age of Donald Trump. If you want to understand how blue-collar Americans came to feel so disparaged and deplored, The Hardhat Riot is a great place to start. A truly captivating read.\" * Robert Guest, Foreign Editor, The Economist   *\u003cbr\u003eDavid Paul Kuhn's Hardhat Riot captures a seminal but long-neglected turning point in the steady erosion of Democratic support among the core of the New Deal Coalition. The May 8, 1970, confrontation * AKA, 'Bloody Friday'between anti-war protestors, mostly students, and tough, unionized construction workers determined to demonstrate their support of American troops in Vietnam, marked the start of the split between a well-educated elite and an increasingly discontented working class, a split that overtime produced the election of Donald Trump.

Edsall, Contributing Opinion Writer, The New York Times   *\u003cbr\u003eDavid Paul Kuhn's revealing new book... does two things remarkably well. It reconstructs a detailed, compelling, and coherent narrative of the riot, assembled from what must have seemed a morass of contradictory sources. The book also provides critical context for the riot, documenting the mounting alienation of the white working class from the ascendant New Left, and arguing convincingly for the Hardhat Riot not so much as the day that turned the tide, but as an unmistakable harbinger of political shifts in the offing, a moment when unlikely symbols of Nixon's Silent Majority roared back, giving voice to grievances that persist to this day.\" * New York Journal of Books   *\u003cbr\u003eVivid. * Ronald Brownstein, The Atlantic   *\u003cbr\u003eI picked up David Paul Kuhn's The Hardhat Riot with the intention of skimming and found myself engrossed, reading every page. Well-written, painstakingly researched, this is an important book that gives life to history and explains the divorce between working-class whites and the Democratic Party, and yet rarer still, is also a real pleasure to read.\" * Charlie Cook, Editor and Publisher of The Cook Political Report   *\u003cbr\u003ePresident Trump's reelection bid rests as much as anything on the political loyalty and fealty of his blue-collar base. That they're such a factor in 2020 reflects one of the biggest shifts in American politics over the last half-century-plus. David Paul Kuhn explains why in his important new book . . . As an author, Kuhn was in many ways prescient about the rise of Trump's coalition nearly a decade before it happened . . . Kuhn's latest work explains in elegant and expert fashion how he won so much support among blue-collar white voters in the first place.\" * Washington Examiner Book Review *\u003cbr\u003eHardhat Riot is an arresting and often chilling narrative of the events that drove a wedge between white working-class voters and the Democratic Party, setting America on the road to today's right-wing populism. I couldn't stop reading it. If you want to understand why cultural issues became central to our politics, read this book.\" * William Galston, former policy advisor to President Clinton and Senior Fellow, the Brookings Institution   *\u003cbr\u003eKuhn makes use of masterful, disturbing imagery to capture the clash... his narration is candid... the perspectives of both sides are shared without favoritism * only the facts. The text is fascinating as it traces the political breakdown that became the platform upon which Nixon built a new base... Hardhat Riot is a timely review of a historical event that contains a reminder that class divisions also create opportunities within politics.\"  Foreword Reviews   *\u003cbr\u003eTrenchant... A welcome resurrection of a forgotten riot with relevance for our current fragmented political landscape.\" * Kirkus   *\u003cbr\u003eA gripping history of a moment when two visions of America clashed * with fists flyingthroughout the Wall Street district. The Hardhat Riot excavates conflicts over protest politics, American military power, and the party loyalties of the white working class that remain with us half a century later.\"  Beverly Gage, Professor of History and American Studies, Yale University   *\u003cbr\u003eSometimes events that are long forgotten have reverberations that dominate our times. In Hardhat Riot, David Paul Kuhn skillfully shows how the split between traditionally Democratic constituencies * blue collar workers and militant studentseerily foreshadows the bitter political splits of our time.\"  Michael Barone, author of The Almanac of American Politics and Emeritus Fellow, American Enterprise Institute   *\u003cbr\u003eDavid Paul Kuhn has breathed new life into an uproarious seminal event in modern political history, skillfully tracing fault lines running from the late 1960s up to the present. A timely, smart, adrenalin-fueled account conveyed with you-are-there immediacy.\" * Laurence Bergreen, author of Over the Edge of the World   *\u003cbr\u003eDavid Paul Kuhn details, with much new research, the changing political conditions before and after the spring of 1970, when Nixon saw the opportunity after the May 8 Hardhat Riot. No previous book has so convincingly documented how important this single event was in changing the class base of both the Republican and Democratic parties.\" * Joan Hoff, former president of the Center for the Study of the Presidency   *\u003cbr\u003eIt's about how elitist politicians left white, blue-collar workers feeling sold out. It's about how those lifelong Democrats * mostly Catholic, ethnic, unionbegan looking for a new home in the Republican Party. And it's about how that day changed American politics, perhaps forever. Kuhn has written a lot about the white working class, and he writes about the '60s here from its anguished perspective. Blue-collar workers saw liberal legislators as snobby, spoiled young radicals. The workers felt demeaned, even demonized. Finally, they demanded their own revolution.\"  New York Daily News Book Review   *\u003cbr\u003eLargely through the microcosm of New York City, David Paul Kuhn's The Hardhat Riot delves deeply into the estrangement of the Democratic Party from America's blue-collar workers. For all of its fascinating detail of the travails of America's metropolis, The Hardhat Riot also offers a broad and rich panorama of American politics of the past 50 years and the most persuasive explanation for the rise of Donald Trump that has yet appeared.\" * Ross K.

For a year over 100,000 members of the National Union of Mineworkers, their families and supporters, in hundreds of communities, battled to prevent the decimation of the coal industry on which their livelihoods and communities depended. Margaret Thatcher's government aimed to smash the most militant section of the British working class. She wanted to usher in a new era of greater management control at work and pave the way for a radical refashioning of society in favour of neo-liberal objectives that three decades later have crippled the world economy. \tVictory required draconian restrictions on picketing and the development of a militarised national police force that made widespread arrests as part of its criminalisation policy. The attacks on the miners also involved the use of the courts and anti-trade union laws, restrictions on welfare benefits, the secret financing by industrialists of working miners and the involvement of the security services. All of which was supported by a compliant mass media but resisted by the collective courage of miners and mining communities in which the role of Women against Pit Closures in combating poverty and starvation was heroic. Thus inspired by the struggle for jobs and communities an unparalleled movement of support groups right across Britain and in other parts of the world was born and helped bring about a situation where the miners long struggle came close on occasions to winning. \tAt the heart of the conflict was the Yorkshire region, where even at the end in March 1985, 83 per cent of 56,000 miners were still out on strike. The official Yorkshire National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) area photographer in 1984-85 was the late Martin Jenkinson and this book of his photographs  -  some never previously seen before - serves as a unique social document on the dispute that changed the face of Britain.","brand":"Pen \u0026 Sword Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741171855703,"sku":"9781783463664","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781783463664.jpg?v=1720056796"},{"product_id":"overtime-why-we-need-a-shorter-working-week-9781788738682","title":"Overtime: Why We Need A Shorter Working Week","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOvertime\u003c\/i\u003e is about the politics of time, and specifically the amount of time that we spend labouring within capitalist society.

Kenney presents two detailed, but highly contrasting, case-studies of Lödz and Wroclaw in the 1945–50 period.\"—George Sanford, Slavonic and East European Review\u003cbr\u003e\"An important book on an important subject.

Rather that viewing every negotiation as an antagonistic and combative relationship, this book shows you how to move beyond the traditional pseudo win-win to construct a deal in which all parties get what they need. By exploring who we are as negotiators in the context of social conditioning, this model examines the cognitive, psychological, social, physical, and spiritual aspects of negotiation to help you produce more sustainable, prosperous, and satisfying agreements.    We often think of negotiation as taking place in a boardroom, a car dealership, or any other contract-centered situation; in reality, we are negotiating every time we ask for something we need or want.

When we understand paid work as a power relationship, argues Alex J. Wood, we see how the spread of precarious scheduling constitutes flexible despotism; a novel regime of control within the workplace.    Wood believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffers a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world he uncovers how control in the contemporary \"flexible firm\" is achieved through the insidious combination of \"flexible discipline\" and \"schedule gifts.\" Flexible discipline provides managers with an arbitrary means by which to punish workers, but flexible scheduling also requires workers to actively win favor with managers in order to receive \"schedule gifts\": more or better hours. Wood concludes that the centrality of precarious scheduling to control means that for those at the bottom of the postindustrial labor market the future of work will increasingly be one of flexible despotism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDespotism on Demand\u003c\/i\u003e comes with the well-deserved praise of two seminal scholars in the field of industrial sociology.

In 2008, at the height of the HIV\/AIDS crisis, timber corporations distributed hot cooked meals as a nutrition intervention to bolster falling productivity and profits. But life and sustenance are about much more than calories and machinic bodies. What is at stake is the nurturing of capacity across all domains of life—physical, relational, cosmological—in the form of \u003ci\u003eamandla\u003c\/i\u003e. An Nguni word meaning power, strength or capacity, amandla organizes ordinary concerns with one’s abilities to earn a wage, to strengthen one’s body, and to take care of others; it describes the potency of medicines and sexual vitality; and it captures a history of anti-colonial and anti-apartheid struggle for freedom.\u003cbr\u003e The ordinary actions coordinated by and directed at amandla do not obscure the wounding effects of plantation labor or the long history of racial oppression, but rather form the basis of what the Algerian artist Kader Attia calls \u003ci\u003erepair\u003c\/i\u003e. In this captivating ethnography, Cousins examines how amandla, as the primary material of the work of repair, anchors ordinary scenes of living and working in and around the plantations. As a space of exploitation that enables the global paper and packaging industry to extract labor power, the plantation depends on the availability of creative action in ordinary life to capitalize on bodily capacity. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Work of Repair\u003c\/i\u003e is a fine-grained exploration of the relationships between laborers in the timber plantations of KwaZulu-Natal, and the historical decompositions and reinventions of the milieu of those livelihoods and lives. Offering a fresh approach to the existential, ethical and political stakes of ethnography from and of late liberal South Africa, the book attends to urgent questions of postapartheid life: the fate of employment; the role of the state in providing welfare and access to treatment; the regulation of popular curatives; the queering of kinship; and the future of custom and its territories. Through detailed descriptions, Cousins explicates the important and fragile techniques that constitute the work of repair: the effort to augment one’s capacity in a way that draws on, acknowledges, and reimagines the wounds of history, keeping open the possibility of a future through and with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Repair and the Question of Capacity | 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eLabor Power and Amandla | 37\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Plantation and the Making of a Labor Regime | 58\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Game of Marriage | 88\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eRepair and the Substance of Others | 115\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eIn the Vicinity of the Social | 144\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e: The Work of Repair | 181\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e| 197\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e| 201\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e| 277\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e| 319\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867521626455,"sku":"9781531503543","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781531503543.jpg?v=1722283681"},{"product_id":"social-dialogue-in-the-gig-economy-a-comparative-empirical-analysis-9781800372368","title":"Social Dialogue in the Gig Economy: A Comparative","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs our digital economy continues to expand, gig work becomes increasingly significant.

Women Workers and the Trade Unions  -  now republished with the addition of two new chapters  -  is the only comprehensive account of this neglected overlap of women's history and labour history. In this enlightening history, Sarah Boston argues that male trade unionists' exclusionary treatment of women workers contradicted not only the socialist aims of most trade unions but also the very logic of trade unionism itself. The account is essential reading for anyone concerned with the history of industrial relations, but also with the history of feminism and of women in the workplace.  This new and updated edition includes a new preface by Frances O'Grady, as well as the two new chapters by Sarah Boston. The new chapters cover the period from 1987 to 2010, exploring the specific struggles of that period, and women's ongoing fight for equal rights and equal pay in the post-Thatcher period and under New Labour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface by Frances  O'Grady Introduction 1.

Moreover, it changed the way unions thought about the law, and raised big questions about their will to win.In the beginning, Grunwick wasn't a strike about wages - it was about something much more important than that. It was about dignity at work. And, for the small band of Asian women strikers, who braved sun, rain and snow month-in and month-out on the picket-lines, from August 1976 to July 1978, rights in the workplace and pride at work, were far more important than any amount of money.At the time, this book was the seminal account of the dispute, providing the workers' own story in their own words and told by two of the leading participants in the strike.

The story of children in pioneer communities, much like the story of women, is not well understood, so this project adds much to the understanding of the history of the Canadian west and the role that children played.\" Rob Alexander, Rocky Mountain Outlook, August 13, 2009\u003cbr\u003e\"This book shows through charts and first-person accounts that children were put to work on farms and homesteads as soon as they were able, and that families benefited because of it. When setting out, homesteaders had so much to do that any family contributions were essential.\" Alberta History, Autumn 2009\u003cbr\u003e\"Heavy Burdens on Small Shoulders by Sandra Rollings-Magnusson makes noteworthy contributions to our understanding of children's work in the past. The overarching point that Rollings-Magnusson's study fleshes out is that the varied labor contributions made by children, particularly during the intense phase of settlement on the prairies, was critical to the survival of settler families. Likening the 'economically invisible' but critical work done by farm women to that of children, Rollings-Magnusson lays out a typology or system of classification based on both gender and age to more fully account for the kinds of work that children did and what this work represented for various farm family economies. This compact book would be an excellent volume for undergraduate courses devoted to the history of the family, work, and\/or the history of children and youth\" Mona Gleason, H-Canada, H-Net Reviews, November 2009. [Full review at: http:\/\/www.h-net.org\/reviews\/showrev.php?id=25772]\u003cbr\u003e\"Heavy Burdens is a well-researched and documented study which illuminates an important aspect of pioneer life on the prairies. In many books of this nature, children are rarely, if ever, mentioned. In this book, their contribution to the establishment and survival of farming is the story. Pioneers, given land grants for moving to Canada, were expected to have their farms up and running in three years. Without the help of children, this would have been impossible.... Some of the details in Heavy Burdens are fascinating.... The experiences of some of the children included in Heavy Burdens could form the basis of scenes in plays.... There are a number of helpful teaching aids in Heavy Burdens, which make it useful for independent study. These include an index, data sources, a bibliography, and extensive notes. In addition, there are a number of quite dramatic black and white photographs placed throughout the book. There are also a number of useful tables illustrating the activities of farm children....

If you are interested in Western Canadian pioneer history, if you are a descendant of a pioneer family and have heard about the trials and tribulations of prairie life, or even if you are convinced that today's children might learn from reading about pioneer farm life in the 1890s and early 1900s, then this book is worth reading.

She makes no judgments, but it's plain from the anecdotes she has compiled that children from the late 1800s and early 1900s were called upon to do work that few parents would ask of children today. Hand-milk 11 cows twice daily? Cut sod blocks for houses? Drive a herd of cattle for 60 miles, on foot, at the age of 11?

The book contributes to the study of western Canadian history as well as family and gender studies.\" Oregon Historical Quarterly, Winter 2009\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a useful little book, accessible to undergraduates in history, sociology, Canadian Studies, and other fields, while providing a handy addition to the libraries of scholars of child labour and family life. Its strength lies in its detailed confirmation of children's work as critical to family survival in the nineteenth and early twentieth century period of prairie farm settlement. Using diaries, letters, memoirs, autobiographies, and other first person accounts, historical sociologist Sandra Rollings-Magnusson draws on the evidence of 260 children, 97 girls and 132 boys, aged from three to their late teens, living in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The result is some wonderfully thick description that is hard to find elsewhere. I especially enjoyed the fulsome account of the process of building a soddie, or sod house, in the second chapter and of youngsters' efforts to aid family economies, and sometimes their own dreams of pony or rifle ownership, through entrepreneurial initiatives. Children's voices, dreams, and pride emerge very clearly as a marked feature of this volume.\" Veronica Strong-Boag, Left History 14.1\u003cbr\u003e\"Drawing on a wealth of diaries, memoirs, letters, photography and poems, and supplemented by official records including census reports, this book analyses the work experiences of 260 children, concentrated between the ages of nine and fourteen. Although it does not look at such topics as children's schooling, social interactions, religious practices or play, it exemplifies a new paradigm in child studies, one that foregrounds children's voices, experience and agency... Like Elizabeth Hampsten, Pamela Riney-Kehrberg and Lillian Schlissel, this volume paints a grim picture of demanding labour and bitter exploitation, loneliness and privation. But this volume also breaks fresh ground. First, it demonstrates that farm children contributed to virtually every job on pioneer farms and that these contributions were essential. Without child labour, many pioneer farms would certainly have failed. Second, this work shows how children's economic contributions, like those of their mothers, were rendered invisible. Unpaid and subsumed within a farm's total production, children's farm labour went unmentioned in public records, leaving the misimpression that it was of marginal value. Third, and perhaps most important, this book's highly detailed and profoundly moving first-hand accounts of children's work make it devastatingly clear that children worked not out of a fear of punishment, but out of an understanding that their labour was essential to their family's collective wellbeing.\" Steven Mintz, Gender and History, 2010\u003cbr\u003e\"The contribution of pioneer children (aged 4-16) to the economic survival of Canadian prairie farms is little known. Heavy Burdens examines the self-reported labor of 260 children in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba between 1871 and 1913... The nature and value of such tasks are considered through extremely readable excerpting and summarizing of first-hand accounts. It is difficult to convey how truly engaging this approach is--the work, its circumstance, meaning and effect are vivid and poignant.... The book's essential values is in clarifying the extent and worth of child agricultural labor and, secondarily, the role of children in the pioneer family. Yet it also sheds useful light on modern policy debates.... Pedagogically, the book is accessible to undergraduates and provides a useful introduction to both frontier life and the way in which families adapt to the demands of economic systems.\" Bob Barnetson, Great Plains Research, Vol. 20, No. 2., 2010\u003cbr\u003e\"Rollings-Magnusson's work is a treasure trove. Anyone familiar with rural and agricultural history knows that young people worked, but her book provides a wealth of information with which scholars may not be familiar.... The author gives the children the opportunity to speak for themselves, sometimes revealing desperation and overwhelming burdens, but also acknowledging the pride they felt in vital work done well.... The book provides an excellent addition to the scholarship on prairie agriculture in North America and the family dimensions of farm-making. Historians may, however, want a bit more....

Individual prospective workers offer their services to individual employers, each acting solely out of self-interest and facing each other as equals. The forces of demand and supply operate so that there is neither a shortage nor a surplus of labor, and, in theory, workers and bosses achieve their respective ends. Michael D. Yates, in Work Work Work: Labor, Alienation, and Class Struggle, offers a vastly different take on the nature of the labor market.  This book reveals the raw truth: The labor market is in fact a mere veil over the exploitation of workers. Peek behind it, and we clearly see the extraction, by a small but powerful class of productive property-owning capitalists, of a surplus from a much larger and propertyless class of wage laborers. Work Work Work offers us a glimpse into the mechanisms critical to this subterfuge: In every workplace, capital implements a comprehensive set of control mechanisms to constrain those who toil from defending themselves against exploitation. These include everything from the herding of workers into factories to the extreme forms of surveillance utilized by today’s “captains of industry” like the Waltons family (of the Walmart empire) and Jeff Bezos.  In these strikingly lucid and passionately written chapters, Yates explains the reality of labor markets, the nature of work in capitalist societies, and the nature and necessity of class struggle, which alone can bring exploitation – and the system of control that makes it possible – to a final end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA high percentage of people in the wealthy centers like the United States see capitalism as doing more harm than good.

Today, as the world’s forests burn and our oceans acidify, grassroots movements are tenaciously defending the environmental commons and forging just and sustainable ways of living on Earth.

Taking up the four critical challenges we face in a warming world—food, urban sustainability, energy transition, and conservation—Dawson shows how the unruly power of environmentalism from below is charting an alternative path forward, from challenging industrial agriculture through fights for food sovereignty and agroecology to resisting extractivism using mass nonviolent protest and sabotage.  An urgent, essential intervention, Environmentalism from Below offers a hopeful alternative to the gridlock of UN-based climate negotiations and the narrow nationalism of some Green New Deal efforts.

In it, Dawson goes beyond narrow and technocratic imaginaries rooted in the nation-state, but also takes us past abstract romantic appeals to clearly trace the emancipatory potentials of global peoples' environmental movements.  Carefully researched and accessibly written, the book connects food, cities, energy, conservation, debt and borders in a narrative that manages to be both a sharp wake-up call and an optimistic assessment of what our common liberation can look like.  This book is a must-read for anyone who feels there must be more to environmental justice than climate accords.\" —Gianpaolo Baiocchi            Praise for Extinction:  “An elegant, controversial thesis” —The Guardian  “A welcome contribution to the growing literature on this slow-motion calamity.” —Los Angeles Review of Books  “Dawson's searing report on species loss will sober up anyone who has drunk the Kool-Aid of green capitalism.” —Andrew Ross  “Fusing social and ecological challenges to power is the only way forward … a long-awaited, elegant and comprehensive expression of why the time is right to make these links.\" —Patrick Bond  “A great tool for anti-capitalists, climate change activists, and those still making sense of the intrinsic connections between the two.\" —Jasbir Puar  “Historically grounded, densely researched, fluidly written … a powerful and painful exploration of human civilization's environmental irrationalities.” —Christian Parenti   Praise for People’s Power:  “For anyone wanting to understand what comes after oil and how we might get there.” —Imre Szeman, author of On Petrocultures  “A gift to activists, providing a clear and accessible history of energy as well as a vision towards the publicly owned, democratically controlled, 100% renewable world we need.” —Aaron Eisenberg, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation  “A brilliant guide to building collective, equitable, and radical energy democracies in the here and now.” —Lavinia Steinfort, Transnational Institute  Praise for Extreme Cities:  Named One of the Top 10 Books of the Year by Publishers Weekly and Planetizen  “Extreme Cities is a ground-breaking investigation of the vulnerability of our cities in an age of climate chaos. We feel safe and protected in the middle of our great urban areas, but as Sandy and Katrina made clear, and as this fine book reveals anew, the massive shifts on our earth increasingly lay bare the social inequalities that fracture our civilization.”—Bill McKibben, author and founder of 350.org","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887365828951,"sku":"9781642599701","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642599701.jpg?v=1722544194"},{"product_id":"showdown-making-modern-unions-9781771132725","title":"Showdown!: Making Modern Unions","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on interviews and other archival materials, this graphic history illustrates how Hamilton workers translated their experience of work and organizing in the 1930s and early 1940s into a new kind of unionism and a new North American society in the decades following World War II.","brand":"Between the Lines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887571087703,"sku":"9781771132725","price":17.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781771132725.jpg?v=1722545207"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/industrial-relations-occupational-health.oembed?page=12","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
