Feminist essays for the #MeToo era from ';the voice of the resistance,' the international bestselling author of Men Explain Things to Me (The New York Times Magazine). Who gets to shape the narrative of our times? The current moment is a battle royale over that foundational power, one in which women, people of color, non-straight people are telling other versions, and white people and men and particularly white men are trying to hang onto the old versions and their own centrality. In Whose Story Is This? Rebecca Solnit appraises what's emerging and why it matters and what the obstacles are. Praise for Rebecca Solnit and her essays ';Rebecca Solnit is essential feminist reading.' The New Republic ';In these times of political turbulence and an increasingly rabid and scrofulous commentariat, the sanity, wisdom and clarity of Rebecca Solnit's writing is a forceful corrective. Whose Story Is This? is a scorchingly intelligent collection about the struggle to control narratives in the internet age.' The Guardian ';Solnit's passionate, shrewd, and hopeful critiques are a road map for positive change.' Kirkus Reviews ';Solnit's exquisite essays move between the political and the personal, the intellectual and the earthy.' Elle ';Rebecca Solnit reasserts herself here as one of the most astute cultural critics in progressive discourse.' Publishers Weekly ';No writer has better understood the mix of fear and possibility, peril and exuberance that's marked this new millennium.' Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org

If the stories they tell about themselves are to be believed, all of the tech giants-Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon-were built from the ground up through hard work, a few good ideas, and the entrepreneurial daring to seize an opportunity when it presented itself.With searing wit and blistering commentary Bit Tyrants provides an urgent corrective to this froth of board room marketing copy that is so often passed off as analysis. For fans of corporate fairy-tales there are no shortage of official histories that celebrate the innovative genius of Steve Jobs, liberal commentators who fall over themselves to laude Bill Gates's selfless philanthropy, or politicians who will tell us to listen to Mark Zuckerberg for advice on how to protect our democracy from foreign influence.In this highly unauthorized account of the Big Five's origins, Rob Larson sets the record straight, and in the process shreds every focus-grouped bromide about corporate benevolence he could get his hands on. Those readers unwilling to smile and nod as every day we become more dependent on our phones and apps to do our chores, our jobs, and our socializing can take heart as Larson provides us with maps to all the shallow graves, skeleton filled closets, and invective laced emails Big Tech left behind on its ascent to power. His withering analysis will help readers crack the code of the economic dynamics that allowed these companies to become near-monopolies very early on, and, with a little bit of luck, his calls for digital socialism might just inspire a viral movement for online revolution.

Leo Panitch, Sam Gindin, and Stephen Maher provide a newly updated and expanded primer for twenty-first century democratic socialists. The Socialist Challenge Today presents an essential historical, theoretical, and critical perspective for understanding the potential as well as the limits of three important recent phenomena: the Sanders electoral insurgency in the United States; the Syriza experience in Greece; and Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. The renowned coauthors compellingly convey the importance of developing strategic and practical capacities to democratically transform state structures so as to render them fit for realizing collective democracy, social equality, sustainable ecology, and human solidarity.

A collection of feminist essays steeped in ';Solnit's unapologetically observant and truth-speaking voice on toxic, violent masculinity' (The Los Angeles Review). In a timely and incisive follow-up to her national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit offers sharp commentary on women who refuse to be silenced, misogynistic violence, the fragile masculinity of the literary canon, the gender binary, the recent history of rape jokes, and much more. In characteristic style, ';Solnit draw[s] anecdotes of female indignity or male aggression from history, social media, literature, popular culture, and the news... The main essay in the book is about the various ways that women are silenced, and Solnit focuses upon the power of storytellingthe way that who gets to speak, and about what, shapes how a society understands itself and what it expects from its members. The Mother of All Questions poses the thesis that telling women's stories to the world will change the way that the world treats women, and it sets out to tell as many of those stories as possible' (The New Yorker). ';There's a new feminist revolutionopen to people of all gendersbrewing right now and Rebecca Solnit is one of its most powerful, not to mention beguiling, voices.'Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Timesbestselling author of Natural Causes ';Short, incisive essays that pack a powerful punch.' Publishers Weekly ';A keen and timely commentary on gender and feminism. Solnit's voice is calm, clear, and unapologetic; each essay balances a warm wit with confident, thoughtful analysis, resulting in a collection that is as enjoyable and accessible as it is incisive.' Booklist

';[A] landmark book... Solnit illustrates how the uprisings that begin on the streets can upend the status quo and topple authoritarian regimes' (Vice). A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me, her Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of activists at a moment when they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind themand the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable, and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of our times in an unforgettable new edition of this classic book. ';One of the best books of the 21st century.' The Guardian ';No writer has better understood the mix of fear and possibility, peril and exuberance that's marked this new millennium.' Bill McKibben, New York Timesbestselling author of Falter ';An elegant reminder that activist victories are easily forgotten, and that they often come in extremely unexpected, roundabout ways.' The New Yorker

Liberating and provocative, with sharp wit and generous humor, Jackson's essays explore the role that sports plays in American society and the hypocritical standards by which the athletes are often judged.

The eminent political activist examines the principles and strategies of imperial violence and propaganda from American colonization to the modern day. In this incisive study, Noam Chomsky demonstrates that the great work of subjugation and conquest has changed little over the years.

';[A] call to arms that takes on a range of social and political problems in Americafrom racism and misogyny to climate change and Donald Trump' (Poets & Writers). National Book Award LonglistWinner of the Kirkus Prize for NonfictionWinner of the Foreword INDIE Editor's Choice Prize for Nonfiction Rebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books, including the international bestseller Men Explain Things to Me. Called ';the voice of the resistance' by the New York Times, she has emerged as an essential guide to our times, through incisive commentary on feminism, violence, ecology, hope, and everything in between. In this powerful and wide-ranging collection of essays, Solnit turns her attention to the war at home. This is a war, she says, ';with so many casualties that we should call it by its true name, this war with so many dead by police, by violent ex-husbands and partners and lovers, by people pursuing power and profit at the point of a gun or just shooting first and figuring out who they hit later.' To get to the root of these American crises, she contends that ';to acknowledge this state of war is to admit the need for peace,' countering the despair of our age with a dose of solidarity, creativity, and hope. ';Solnit's exquisite essays move between the political and the personal, the intellectual and the earthy.' Elle ';Solnit is careful with her words (she always is) but never so much that she mutes the infuriated spirit that drives these essays.'

Publishers Weekly ';Essential reading for anyone living in America today.' The Brooklyn Rail

The occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has been one of the world''s most widely reported yet least understood human rights crises for over four decades.

The dominant view of the Russian Revolution of 1917 is of a movement led by prominent men like Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. Despite the demonstrations of female workers for ';bread and herrings', which sparked the February Revolution, in most historical accounts of this momentous period, women are too often relegated to the footnotes. Judy Cox argues that women were essential to the success of the revolution and to the development of the Bolshevik Party. With biographical sketches of famous female revolutionaries like Alexandra Kollontai and less well-known figures like Elena Stasova and Larissa Reisner, The Women's Revolution tells the inspiring story of how Russian women threw off centuries of oppression to strike, organize, liberate themselves and ultimately try to build a new world based on equality and freedom for all.
