Seagull Books London Ltd As Cruel as Anyone Else
Book SynopsisReveals a dark chapter in the Italian government's colonial history that has been largely hidden from view. Between the end of the nineteenth century and over the first half of the twentieth, Italy invaded and occupied the Horn of Africa, Libya, and several other territories. Yet recognition of this history of colonial destruction, racist violence, and genocidal aerial and chemical warfarecarried out not only during the Fascist dictatorship but also under preceding liberal governmentshas been consistently repressed beneath the myth that the Italians never truly practiced colonialism. The late journalist, historian, novelist, campaigner, and former Resistance fighter Angelo Del Boca dismantles this myth. He expertly narrates episodes of state violence committed by Italians both abroadfrom Ethiopia to Slovenia, from China to Libyaand at home during the civil war following Unification in the 1860s or when the anti-Fascist Resistance faced off against the Republic of Salò after 1943. Attentive to the losses and pain suffered by all sides in war, Del Boca deftly demonstrates how such violence was not only a tool of domination but has also been central to creating and shaping an Italian people. Drawing on a lifetime of interviews as a special correspondent, decades of work in private and state archives, and his own experiences during the Second World War, Del Boca's popular and influential work has contributed to overturning views of Italian history. Presenting many historical episodes in English for the first time, As Cruel as Anyone Else provides a key to reading contemporary Italy, its place in international politics, and the disturbing permanence of the far-right within mainstream Italian politics.

Seagull Books The Twilight of Politics
Book SynopsisA classic work of political theory by a major twentieth-century figure of the Italian Left. Italian political thinker Mario Tronti is most famous for being the author of Workers and Capital, which became the central theoretical formulation of Italian operaismo or workerism, a current of political thought emerging in the 1960s that revolutionized the institutional and extra-parliamentary Left in Italy and beyond. In The Twilight of Politics, written originally in 1998, Tronti argues that modern politics, which reached its apogee in the twentieth century, has ended. Realism and Utopia, Tronti explains, were the foundational qualities of modern politics, which it always tried to clasp together. But behind this highwater mark of politics was a history over the longue durée, encompassing the wars of religion, Hobbes' Leviathan, revolution, great individuals, and popular movements, as well as innovations such as the nation-state and the party-form. Historically, the modern period is also a coming together of the categories of the political and the laws of political economy. At the heart of this book is Tronti's attempt to hold together a view of the course of political history with a critique of the dictatorship of the present to help us escape being chained to the bars of an eternal present . . . which deprives us both of the freedom to look back and to see ahead.

Book SynopsisA queer memoir that takes place at the messy intersection between gender and desire, challenging stereotypes and embracing the nuance of identity. When Valentijn must undergo a mastectomy because of a gene defect, he makes the decision not to have implants and adopts an in-between gender identity that feels more natural. He shaves his head and discards his wardrobe of women's clothes, even the perfect dress his mother was so fond of. But all of this causes friction: not only are Valentijn's doctors stumped, but friends, family, and lovers too. His trans ex helps him feel more comfortable in his new guisenot a girl, not a boy, but an antiboywhile his boyfriend draws away from the relationship. Encircled by grief and loss, Valentijn searches for the ultimate freedom to be allowed to be himself and tries to rebuild the relationships with those around him. A refined, poetic autobiographical essay about adopting a new and truer identity, Antiboy is poignant without ever being sentimental.

Seagull Books Nymphs
Book SynopsisAgamben is the rare writer whose ideas and works have a broad appeal across many fields, and Nymphs will engage not only the author's devoted fans in philosophy, legal theory, sociology, and literary criticism but also his growing audience among art theorists and historians as well. In 1900, art historians André Jolles and Aby Warburg constructed an experimental dialogue in which Jolles supposed he had fallen in love with the figure of a young woman in a painting: A fantastic figureshall I call her a servant girl, or rather a classical nymph?what is the meaning of it all?Who is the nymph? Where does she come from?Warburg's response: in essence she is an elemental spirit, a pagan goddess in exile, serves as the touchstone for this wide-ranging and theoretical exploration of female representation in iconography. In Nymphs, the newest translation of Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben's work, the author notes that academic research has lingered on the pagan goddess, while the concept

Seagull Books London Ltd AfroDecolonial Manifesto
Book SynopsisOffering a compelling call to arms while challenging the pervasive grip of colonialism on the Black psyche, this manifesto charts a course toward a future defined by autonomy, dignity, and radical liberation. Delving into the historical currents of resistancefrom Negritude to Black nationalism to pan-Africanismthis manifesto unapologetically confronts the insidious nature of modern colonialism. In a world where the very presence of the Black body incites fear and insecurity among white supremacists, Afro-Decolonial Manifesto exposes the fallacy of equating Black existence with reverse colonialism. It challenges the prevailing narratives of gratitude and guilt, asserting the right of the Black diaspora to reclaim its autonomy and dignity, and also examines the effectiveness of movements like Black Lives Matter, advocating for a renewed Black internationalism rooted in Africa's unity and autonomy. In a stirring call to arms, Afro-Decolonial Manifesto heralds a new era of resistance, where reparation becomes not just a demand for restitution, but a catalyst for radical change. This volume emboldens Black people to reclaim their narrative, their agency, and their future. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of liberation and the indomitable resilience of Black lives.

Seagull Books London Ltd Jokumaraswami
Book SynopsisThree plays that seamlessly blend the ageless with the contemporary. Chandrasekhar Kambar, recognized as one of the most progressive and influential playwrights in modern Indian theatre, masterfully transforms traditional religious and folk motifs to deliver a strikingly contemporary message. This volume brings together three of Kambar's seminal plays from the previous century. In Jokumaraswami, a phallic fertility god worshipped in Karnataka is identified with Basanna, a fearless peasant who defies a tyrannical feudal lord with tragic consequences, embodying the myth of the god in his own heroic journey. Samba Shiva is a lively, rambunctious farce filled with bawdy humor and hilarious situations. Everything is turned on its head: men become women, gods step down from their pedestals out of boredom, kings turn into donkeys, and donkeys into ministers. This acerbic comedy savagely satirizes bureaucracies, hierarchies, and the establishment at large. In Siri Sampige, an ominous prophecy looms over a brave, handsome young prince, the sole heir to the kingdom of Shivapura. An oracle warns that as the prince steps into manhood, he will either become a wandering ascetic or die due to one who is heir to what he is heir to. The queen mother attempts to thwart this fate by arranging his marriage to the beautiful princess Siri Sampige, but destiny's coils tighten, and the prince is ensnared in his foretold fate.

Emerald Publishing Sociological Thinking in Contemporary
Book SynopsisThe ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.Though organizational scholarship traces its intellectual lineage from a diversity of sources, there is little doubt that in recent years a key divide has emerged amongst organization scholars and sociologists. For many, if not most, it has become unclear what role sociology is supposed to play in organization studies. Against this backdrop, the editors of Sociological Thinking in Contemporary Organizational Scholarship ask: what is organizational sociology today?This pathbreaking volume explores the new boundaries of organizational sociology to identify, discuss and challenge sociology's genuine contribution to organization studies. Mapping a community of scholars that transcends disciplinary limitations, chapters follow one simple epistemic logic: society happens in, between, across and around organizations.Breathing fresh life into a once lively dialogue on the social nature, characteristics and consequences of the field, this is a valuable resource for navigating of the varied sociological scholarship we witness amongst today's organization scholars.

Liverpool University Press The Lives of Z
Book SynopsisOlivia McCannon's latest collection is shot through with questions. How ecological is English? How do you read an unreadable world, or a transforming planet? The Lives of Z is an inventory of poem-artefacts gleaned from the spoilheaps of a speculative future. Each find' emerges with the randomness of any archaeological discovery, in that moment when its significance hangs in the air. Except that here, life is growing out of the data. In this space of provocation and encounter, the reader is invited to play Z's game and crash-test different ways of being in language. What will I have been? Who or what owns the collective possessive'? How many life forms can inhabit the same pronoun? Z, the creative principle of life multitudinous, networked and irreverent is running the experiment, in an unrepentantly bad science' mode. Salvaged from what can't be thrown away, these poems meet uncertainty with creativity, searching for the freedom and the words to reclaim human and earthly connections.
