HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Super Age
Book SynopsisA demographic futurist explains the coming Super Age—when there will be more people older than sixty-five than those under the age of eighteen—and explores what it could mean for our collective future.Trade Review"An intelligent warning to pay more attention to your elders. . . . Schurman combines ideas for an elderly-friendly future with a denunciation of present conditions. . . . Good insights for right now." — Kirkus Reviews "[Schurman's] insistence on a more thoughtful approach to an aging society is buoyed by his optimism and his dedication to justice and care for all citizens: ‘The future may be gray,’ he writes, ‘but it’s incredibly bright.’ Policymakers and business leaders, take note." — Publishers Weekly “The Super Age is upon us. Bradley Schurman inspires and challenges us to confront head-on the implications for the economy, business, how we live, and how we treat one another. He offers a road map for seizing the opportunities that are ahead and offers a clear view of the risks of inaction.” — Almar Latour, CEO, Dow Jones “Global aging is transformational on the scale of climate change, the freight train we can see coming, and in The Super Age, Bradley Schurman reveals it to us in all its complexity and opportunity. Discarding the tired discourse of the burdens of an aging planet, he offers instead a fundamental revisioning of what life could look like—of what our lives could look like—a new world that is hugely exciting, if we do it right.” — Claire Casey, global head of Policy & Insights, Economist Impact, The Economist Group “Demography may be destiny, yet there are few prognosticators who can see the future like Bradley Schurman. The Super Age is a super-readable book, a crystal ball into a society like we’ve never seen before. This book will help you tap into the longevity dividend.” — Chip Conley, New York Times bestselling author and founder, the Modern Elder Academy “The Super Age provides one of the most comprehensive understandings of the gift of longevity and the work we need to do as a society to maximize the ability for all to age well. This timely book provides leaders the data, insights, and tangible solutions needed to tap into the moral, economic, and societal benefits of truly embracing the Super Age. Leaders from every sector (public, private, and nonprofit) should read and share the book.” — Ramsey Alwin, president and CEO, National Council on Aging (NCOA) “This book is an eye-opener to those already in, or those preparing to serve, older and generationally diverse markets. Schurman gives both an objective view of the existing landscape and a bright road map for future growth. Customers are changing at a rapid pace, and in many cases, they are becoming healthier and wealthier. Those who truly understand and embrace the Super Age will be the winners.” — Jee Eun “Geannie” Cho, CEO, CIGNA Korea “Be prepared to have your conception of aging—and the power potential of the ‘gray’ generation—turned upside down . . . or in this case, right side up.” — Rebecca Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of War Dogs and Into the Forest “The Super Age focuses on one of the biggest trends that will shape our individual and collective future. It also shows in a nuanced and insightful way why the pessimism around an aging society is too simplistic to capture the fundamental changes that are happening and need to happen.” — Andrew Scott, professor of economics, London Business School, and coauthor of The 100-Year Life “We have entered a new Super Age—which will profoundly alter public policies, education, careers, communities, and commerce. For business leaders, it is especially imperative to understand this and to rethink products, services, and markets in the new world of longevity. This book is the road map.” — Bill Novelli, professor of business, Georgetown University; former CEO, AARP; and author of Good Business “Powerful and provocative. . . . Bradley Schurman breaks through as a much-needed, compelling new demographic futurist—and just in the nick of time.” — Michael Adams, CEO, SAGE “At a time when ageism is on full display, Bradley Schurman’s The Super Age is a much-needed counterpoint to the dominant and negative narrative. . . . An invaluable resource for any business interested in diversity, equity, and inclusion.” — Fabrice Houdart, managing director, Out Leadership “Beautifully written and magically orchestrated by Bradley Schurman, The Super Age is like a symphony where all the chords, the tones, the nuances about our demographic past, present, and future come together.” — Nicola Palmarini, director, UK National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA), and author of Immortali “The Super Age brilliantly explores the new economic, political, social, and cultural norms that are reshaping our world—and how we got here. . . . A must read for anyone who wants to truly understand how these demographic megatrends will impact us all.” — Jake Rothstein, founder, Papa and UpsideHoM “Thoroughly researched and elegantly written. . . . An excellent narrative about what is indeed the Super Age.” — Jim Mellon, founder and executive chairman, Burnbrae Group, and coauthor of Juvenescence “Schurman describes a megatrend that cannot be debated, nor ignored: the Super Age. It urges you to stop discussing and start acting. That probably makes it the best book on aging yet.” — Arjan in ’t Veld, cofounder and CMO, The Aging Group BV “Bradley lays forth a vision for the Super Age that is inclusive of all people, regardless of age, race, gender, or sexuality, as key contributors and consumers.” — Patrick Church, multimedia artist and fashion designer “Will population aging lead to stagnation and decline, or a new era of innovation and human flourishing? There are daunting challenges, to be sure, but Schurman’s book offers hope for a brighter future. It’s a must read and a must reference.” — Paul Irving, chairman, Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging; distinguished scholar-in-residence, University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology; and chairman, Encore.org “Aging, like gender equality and climate change, is an essential lens for any community, business or policy leader with foresight. Schurman's book gives a comprehensive view of the latest research on the complexities, challenges and opportunities of creating an age inclusive society.” — Cynthia Wu, executive director, Shin Kong Life Foundation “Finally, a modern take on the perception of ageism, marginalization, and inequality for the rapidly evolving 50+ demographic. . . . Schurman shows us a path toward a hopeful future.” — Jeff Tidwell, founder and CEO, Next For Me “Finally—everything you’ve ever wanted to know about age and longevity in one package, or rather under one cover! . . . The best part is the optimism about the future of longevity and opportunities it brings for the business environment and for society at large.” — Stela Lupushor, chief reframer, Reframe.Work Inc. “A comprehensive and fast-paced tour through the past, present and future of our rapidly Super Ageing Societies, written by one of the leading proponents in the space.” — Stephen Johnston, co-founder, Aging2.0

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Why Race Still Matters
Book Synopsis'Why are you making this about race?' This question is repeated daily in public and in the media. Calling someone racist in these times of mounting white supremacy seems to be a worse insult than racism itself. In our supposedly post-racial society, surely it’s time to stop talking about race? This powerful refutation is a call to notice not just when and how race still matters but when, how and why it is said not to matter. Race critical scholar Alana Lentin argues that society is in urgent need of developing the skills of racial literacy, by jettisoning the idea that race is something and unveiling what race does as a key technology of modern rule, hidden in plain sight. Weaving together international examples, she eviscerates misconceptions such as reverse racism and the newfound acceptability of 'race realism', bursts the 'I’m not racist, but' justification, complicates the common criticisms of identity politics and warns against using concerns about antisemitism as a proxy for antiracism. Dominant voices in society suggest we are talking too much about race. Lentin shows why we actually need to talk about it more and how in doing so we can act to make it matter less.Trade Review"Lentin's book is necessary reading. Lentin explains the whitewashing of racial-colonial history and how structural white advantage must be dismantled for progress to take place."Sydney Morning Herald '13 Books to Take Your Mind Off 2020'"The sharp analysis that Lentin offers exposes what [discourses that advance racist ideas under the guise of realism or common sense] actually do – obscure, gaslight or shift blame in order that a white supremacist order is maintained. […A] vital book for those who wish to understand race, and more importantly, desire to make it matter less." Sydney Review of Books"A persuasive and exhaustive study of how race pervades our societies. [Alana Lentin] has crafted this book in race critical scholarship with meticulous attention to the world around us. […] This book is a clear exposition of how race has been made to appear insignificant in certain strands of scholarship and popular culture, and why this is dangerous and must be resisted at all costs."Patterns of Prejudice"A wide-ranging, powerful and timely account of what race is, what is does, and why it still matters in our supposedly 'post-racial' times. […] Eloquent and accessible, [… it] is also valuable to a popular audience for whom the book would provide a thorough entry point into thinking more deeply about race and racism and a resource from which to cultivate racial literacy."The Sociological Review"A bracing corrective to the simplifications and elisions that plague commonsensical and officially sanctioned conceptions of racism." Sivamohan Valluvan, Ethnic and Racial Studies review symposium "Lentin identifies the many actors entangled together in a battle of ideas (and lives) to powerfully portray the ideological mess that sabotages public understanding of how racism works. But although Lentin skilfully measures our many failures in contemporary discussions, she also invites the reader to pause and ask what we can do better. Rising to her own challenge makes the work reflective, insightful and therapeutic." Yassir Morsi, Ethnic and Racial Studies review symposium"An important book that sets out both the progressive and dangerous traits of anti-racism."Göteborgs-Posten"The most prominent strength of Why Race Still Matters is the breadth and depth of analyses, pulling from diverse sources from multiple national contexts to build upon and challenge contemporary discourses on race and racism. Lentin provides critiques of both the political right and left in the ways that both minimise the continued significance of race in the structuring of societies around the world."Chinelo L. Njaka, Sociology“Why Race Still Matters [considers] how our unwillingness to talk about race emboldens the power of whiteness to define and re-define what racism is. […] Centring the voices of Indigenous and Black communities and people of colour helps tear down the structures that presuppose who can and cannot be knowers about race matters.”Leah Hrycun, Aboriginal Policy Studies"Offers key insights on how racism is denied and why naming racism is seen as offensive based on cases in politics and media across US and Australia. These cases, Lentin clearly explains, underlie the systemic redefinition of racism to serve white agendas and make it challenging to bring racial literacy into public discourse. […] A valuable contribution and resource."F. Zehra Colak, European Centre for Populism Studies"Decolonial activists are troubled by the tendency, among certain scholars, towards what is ironically called ‘the race for theory’, or, in other words, academic work which is based on the concept of race but whose real purpose is personal career-building. Alana Lentin escapes this. Not only does this book draw inspiration from decolonial struggles and deepen them, it also fully recognises their legitimacy. For this, my infinite appreciation." Houria Bouteldja, Spokesperson for the Parti des Indigènes de la République (Party of the Indigenous of the Republic) "Presently, mainstream intellectual and public discourse fundamentally lacks literacy in race. Lentin's book provides this literacy with rigor, accessibility and honesty. Above all, Lentin explains why race still matters in sociologically and geopolitically expansive ways."

Basic Books The Sum of the People: How the Census Has Shaped
Book SynopsisIn April 2020, the United States will embark on what has been called "the largest peacetime mobilization in American history": the decennial population census. It is part of a long, if uneven, tradition of counting people that extends back at least three millennia. Tracing the remarkable history of the census from ancient China, through the Roman Empire, revolutionary America, and Nazi-occupied Europe, right up to today's Supreme Court battles, The Sum of the People shows how the impulse to count ourselves is universal, how the census has evolved with time, and how it has always profoundly shaped the societies we have built. As data scientist Andrew Whitby reveals, the earliest censuses in ancient China and the Fertile Crescent had purely extractive aims: taxation and conscription. Later, as Enlightenment-era governments began to answer to citizens, the census was reinvented to support political representation and to delimit the boundaries of new nation-states. As the role of government grew through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, censuses became more complex and scientific. Census bureaus spun out dozens of other surveys, which formed the statistical foundation of modern, technocratic, data-driven government. For the first time, counting every person on the planet became a real possibility-and debates about who was counted, who was not, and what questions they were asked became the subject of intense political controversy in places from Australia to South Africa to the United States. The census at its best is a marvel of democracy, but it has at times been an instrument of exclusion, and, as in the case of Nazi Germany, a tool of tyranny and genocide.Today, governments and businesses alike now routinely collect "big data" that would have been unimaginable just a few decades ago, prompting fears similar to those the census once provoked and leading to some to suggest that traditional censuses will soon be obsolete. The Sum of the People closes by making the case that, for all its past faults, the census can be an alternative and an antidote to a future of constant, invasive surveillance.

Verso Books Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the
Book SynopsisJust as Donald Trump's victorious campaign for the US presidency shocked liberal Americans, the seemingly sudden national prominence of white supremacists, xenophobes, militia leaders, and mysterious "Alt-Right" leaders mystifies many. But the extreme Right has been growing steadily in the US since the 1990s, with the rise of patriot militias. Following 9/11, conspiracy theorists found fresh life; and in virulent reaction to the first black president of the country, militant racists have come out of the woodwork. Nurtured by a powerful right-wing media sector in radio, TV, and online, the Far Right, Tea Party movement conservatives, and Republican activists found common ground - an alternative America that is resurgent, even as it has been ignored by the political establishment and mainstream media.Investigative reporter David Neiwert has been tracking extremists for more than two decades, and here he provides a deeply reported and authoritative report on the background, mindset, and growth of Far Right movements across the country. The product of years of reportage, and including the most in-depth investigation of Trump's ties to Far Right figures, this is a crucial book about one of the most disturbing sides of American society.Trade ReviewThe seemingly sudden reemergence of the far right in America has left many in a state of panic and bewilderment. Alt-America will be essential in helping us to comprehend the depth of its foundations in national life. -- Angela Nagle, author of Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4Chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-RightOver the last two decades, David Neiwert has been one of our finest analysts of the American far right, paying sustained, serious and careful attention to the seemingly fringe movements of conspiracy theorists and insurrectionists. Now it turns out these movements are not so fringe after all but have helped elect Donald Trump as president. This crisply written book, grounded in his solid reporting, tells the whole sordid story with clarity and force. More than anyone else, Neiwert understands that Trumpism has deep roots in American culture and history. In this book, he lays out those roots for all to see. -- Jeet Heer, Senior Editor at the New RepublicFor over a decade, David Neiwert has been America's canary in the coal mine-our national early-warning system on the spread of corrosive, eliminationist, right-wing hatred in our midst. -- Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of AmericaDavid Neiwert is among the most astute analysts of the contemporary right. -- Joe Conason, author of Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the TruthNeiwert has not only earned his investigative chops over the past decade or so by exploring the dangerous side of right-wing extremism-he's proven himself to be one of the more lyrical and elegant writers on the beat. * Daily Kos *An alarming, well-researched account of how the far-right extremist underground became empowered in the era of Trump . A prescient discussion of one of the darkest issues facing America today. -- KirkusOffers the most comprehensive account of the United States' renewed extremist cultures . Alt-America excites in its ability to connect the seemingly extraordinary alt-right to the broader culture of wing-nut conservatism, drawing white nationalism, 4chan, Donald Trump, Alex Jones and Fox News together into a wonky negaverse version of political life. -- John Semley * Globe and Mail *Neiwert's book masterfully exposes so many of the interstices between Trump, the far-right nationalists and the toxic manipulators of social media, each feeding off the others. -- Michael Hirsch * The Indypendent *Tracing the ebbs and flows of this far-right extremism in the United States over the last 20 years, Neiwert argues that white nationalist activity in the age of Trump is simply the latest flare-up of what he calls 'Alt-America,' or the segment of the American population that has fed on conspiracy theories, racist misinformation, and deep distrust of federal institutions for decades. -- J.C. Pan * New Republic *

Baraka Books The Question of Separatism: Quebec and the
Book SynopsisIn this, her third and least-known book, first published in 1980, Jane Jacobs examines not only the particular question of Quebec and Canada, but also the larger issue of sovereignty and autonomy in general. Using Norway as a model, Jacobs details that country's campaign of peaceful persistence that led to breaking ties with Sweden—and suggests that Canada and Canadians should be inspired by the example. An essential component of Jacobs's urban activism, this new edition of the book incorporates and expands the 1979 Massey Lectures, Canadian Cities and Sovereignty-Association, commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Also included is a previously unpublished exclusive interview with Jane Jacobs in her Toronto home in 2005, 25 years after the book appeared and 10 years after the 1995 Quebec referendum. In these musings, she reasserts and updates her thoughts on Separatism—and addresses new issues such as tar sand development in Alberta, the finance of gambling, and the future of the Euro and of Europe.Trade ReviewJacobs’s thought and writing comprise a resounding symphony of lessons and ideas; they compose a life’s work about economic, social, and environmental justice." —Nation
