Hvem får taletid, og hvem har lov til at forme tidens fortællinger? #MeToo er en kamp om netop den grundlæggende magt. "Hvis historie er det?" samler feminist og forfatter Rebecca Solnits bedste essays om et af de største skred i feminismens historie siden 1970’erne.Rebecca Solnit (f. 1961) er historiker, aktivist og forfatter. Hun har skrevet nogle af de mest indflydelsesrige feministiske essays i nyere tid, heriblandt "Alle spørgsmåls moder" og "Mænd forklarer mig ting", som har dannet grundlag for begrebet ‘mansplaining’.Bogen er en del af den serien Feministisk bibliotek, der samler fire af de mest markante feministiske stemmer fra de sidste 100 år og introducerer de vigtigste diskussioner om forholdet mellem køn, magt og historie.

"Alle stater, alle herredømmer, hvorved menneskene hidtil er blevet styrede eller endnu styres, var eller er enten republikker eller fyrstendømmer. Fyrstendømmerne er enten arvelige, i hvilke herskerens slægt i lang tid har regeret, eller også nyskabte. De nyskabte er enten ganske nydannede, som f.eks. Mailand af Francesco Sforza, eller de er dele som fyrsten, der erhverver dem, føjer til den arvelige stat, som f.eks. kongen af Spanien med kongeriget Neapel."Intet litterært værk har haft så stor betydning for udviklingen af europæisk politik fra renæssancen og op til vor tid som italienske Niccolò Machiavellis bog "Fyrsten" fra 1513. Bogen beskriver, hvordan en politisk leder har ret til at styre sit land med selv de mest brutale midler, når det tjener nationens interesser, blot aldrig i hans egne. Bogen er dedikeret til Lorenzo de’ Medici, som Niccolò Machiavelli var rådgiver for ved det florentinske hof. Denne oversættelse stammer tilbage fra 1876.Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) var en italiensk filosof, samfundsteoretiker og forfatter, der er særligt kendt for bogen "Fyrsten" om den perfekte politiske leder. Machiavelli spillede en central rolle for magthaverne i Firenze og udgav en lang række bøger om politik, samfundsvidenskab og historie samt flere oversættelser af latinske værker.

HVORDAN VESTEN BRAGTE KRIGEN TIL UKRAINE - og hvorledes USA og NATO har ført verden ud på kanten af en atom-katastrofe er titlen på den amerikanske forfatter, foredragsholder og lobbyist Benjamin Abelows lille, koncentrerede bog om baggrunden for krigen i Ukraine.Bogen er blevet stærkt rost af så forskellige røster som Noam Chomsky, John Mearsheimer og oberst Douglas Macgregor.I betragtning af at vi siges at leve i et demokrati, er det overordnet set besynderligt, at ingen politikere, ingen medlemmer af regeringen, ingen medlemmer af den 4. Statsmagt, pressen har afvigende meninger om krigen og i særdeleshed, hvem der har ansvaret for krigen. Den udøvende, den lovgivende og den 4. Statsmagt, pressen har fuldstændig synkrone holdninger til krigen.Den helt overvejende vurdering og hvem der bærer ansvaret for krigen, er induceret af vores øverste NATO-partner, USA. Ingen, bortset fra én tidligere politiker, Marie Krarup, har vovet at give udtryk for afvigende meninger...Pens. oberststløjtnant af Hæren Jens Kristian Bech Pedersen har oversat bogen, og Marie Krarup, har skrevet et dansk forord til bogen, hvori hun bl.a. skriver: ”Forfatterens skræmmende rigtige tese er, at Vesten har misforstået, hvorfor Rusland invaderede Ukraine. Hvilket betyder, at Vesten træffer vigtige afgørelser på falske præmisser.”

Sygkiatri er flere ting. Det er et litterært projekt. Et aktivistisk opråb. Et forsøg på at sige det med følelser, der lyder fattigt i fagjargon. Det er en kritisk-poetisk undersøgelse af det system, der behandler psykisk lidelse i Danmark: Psykiatrien. Bogen er en samling af digte, noveller og essays, der alle undersøger de dystre og skadelige aspekter af psykiatriseringen af menneskets tanker og følelser. Hvad er forskellen på den, der lider psykisk, og den, der ikke gør? Er den ene gal og den anden normal? Den ene syg, den anden rask? Eller er det systemet,der er sygt? En syg psykiatri. En Sygkiatri.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Unapologetically optimistic and bracingly realistic, this is the most inspiring book on ';ethical living' I've ever read.' Oliver Burkeman, Guardian ';A monumental event.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind ';A book of great daring, clarity, insight and imagination. To be simultaneously so realistic and so optimistic, and always so damn readable well that is a miracle for which he should be greatly applauded.' Stephen Fry Humanity is in its infancy. Our future could last for millions of years or it could end tomorrow.

We can create positive change on behalf of future generations, to prevent the use of catastrophic weapons and maintain peace between the world's great powers. We can improve our moral values, navigating the rise of AI and climate change more fairly for generations to come. The challenges we face are enormous. But so is the influence we have. If we choose wisely, our distant descendants will look back on us fondly, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world that is beautiful and just.

Dark offers a spirited call to witness to ethics, community, and change for ourselves and the worlds we inhabit.

Idrætten er i næsten alle henseender den mest omfangsrige del af dansk kulturliv. Den er langt den største modtager af offentlige midler. Den aktiverer en større del af befolkningen end nogen anden kulturel aktivitet. Den tilskrives uvurderlige kvaliteter for befolkningens identitetsfornemmelse og sammenhold. Den præger sprog og opdragelse og tilbyder legende udfoldelse, målrettet præstation, jagten på sundhed og fascinerende medieoplevelser. Alligevel bliver kulturpolitikkens mål og principper alt for ofte tilsidesat, når idrætten gøres til genstand for politiske overvejelser og beslutninger. Dansk idrætspolitik fortæller idrætspolitikkens historie, siden Kulturministeriet begyndte at forholde sig til idrætten i starten af 1970’erne. Perioden har været fuld af spændinger mellem den politiske respekt for idrætsorganisationernes selvstændige forvaltning af de statslige tilskud og skiftende kulturministres forsøg på at få direkte indflydelse på midlernes anvendelse. Forfatterne har været aktive medspillere i udviklingen. De går bag kulisserne og beskriver konflikter og magtkampe, når staten har blandet sig i for eksempel den frivillige sektor, eliteidrættens vilkår, breddeidrættens udviklingsmuligheder, anvendelsen af de statslige tilskud samt bekæmpelsen af doping.

Nederlaget i krigen i 1864 er et kollektivt traume, som har sat dybe aftryk på dansk selvopfattelse og identitet. Lige siden har vi drøftet, om det var vores egen skyld eller tyskernes. Om danskerne var komplet naive, eller om vi var ofre for tysk aggression. Danske politikere har ivrigt gjort brug af 1864, der som begreb er gledet ind i det danske sprog og bliver brugt politisk. Siden nederlaget har 1864 legitimeret meget forskellige beslutninger og begivenheder. Især på det forsvarspolitiske og det udenrigspolitiske område. De første hundrede år efter krigen havde man så stor mistillid til Tyskland, at det blev dansk udenrigspolitik ikke at indgå aftaler om mindretal med nabolandet. Nederlaget har spillet en vital rolle i debatten om forfatningskampen (1866-1901), Besættelsen (1940) og deltagelse i Irakkrigen (2003), og 1864 er endda blevet blandet ind i diskussioner om Storebæltsbroen, statslige arbejdspladser i Sønderjylland og klimapolitik. På den måde påvirker den fælles bearbejdning af nederlaget danskernes personlige liv. For første gang fortælles nederlagets politiske erindringshistorie samlet. På baggrund af forløbet før krigen og skyldsdiskussionen efter krigen fører forfatteren historien helt op til i dag og skildrer den skiftende kollektive erindring og det nationale traume.
