Hi
here are the latest offerings from PM Press (and re-stocking of sold-out titles):
The Mafia Principle of Global Hegemony, Noam Chomsky, DVD, $25,
"In this DVD, Noam Chomsky, one of the world's most influential living intellectuals, deliberates on the root causes of the conflicts in the Middle East and talks about hopes for future social change. The renowned foreign policy critic and linguist reveals mainstream misconceptions about the internal and external politics of Iran, Israel, and Palestine."
Anarchism and Education: A Philosophical Perspective, Judith Suissa, $25,
"Anarchism and Education offers a philosophical account of the neglected tradition of anarchist thought on education. Although few anarchist thinkers wrote systematically on education, this analysis is based largely on a reconstruction of the educational thought of anarchist thinkers gleaned from their various ethical, philosophical and popular writings. Primarily drawing on the work of the nineteenth century anarchist theorists such as Bakunin, Kropotkin and Proudhon, the book also covers twentieth century anarchist thinkers such as Noam Chomsky, Paul Goodman, Daniel Guerin and Colin Ward."
Tunnel People, Teun Voeten, $31,
Sociological account: "By the end of the millennium, thousands of homeless people roamed the streets of Manhattan. A small group of them went underground. Invisible to society, they managed to start a new life in the tunnel systems of the city."
Pike, B. Whitmer, $20,
Novel: "Douglas Pike is no longer the murderous hustler he was in his youth, but reforming hasn't made him much kinder. He's just living out his life in his Appalachian hometown, working odd jobs with his partner, Rory, hemming in his demons the best he can. And his best seems just good enough until his estranged daughter overdoses and he takes in his twelve-year-old granddaughter, Wendy."
Signal: 01, A Journal of International Political Graphics and Culture, A I Dunn & J McPhee, $19,
"Signal is an ongoing book series dedicated to documenting and sharing compelling graphics, art projects, and cultural movements of international resistance and liberation struggles. Artists and cultural workers have been at the center of upheavals and revolts the world over, from the painters and poets in the Paris Commune to the poster makers and street theatre performers of the recent counter globalization movement".
The Underbelly, Gary Phillips, $18,
"The explosion of wealth and development in downtown L.A. is a thing of wonder. But regardless of how big and shiny our buildings get, we should not forget the ones this wealth and development has overlooked and pushed out. This is the context for Phillips’ novella The Underbelly, as a semi-homeless Vietnam vet named Magrady searches for a wheelchair-bound friend gone missing from Skid Row--a friend who might be working a dangerous scheme against major players."
Anarcho-Sydicalist Review #54, items: Capitalists, Global Warming, and the Climate Justice Movement; Rebellion in Greece; The Economics of Freedom; The Myth of Venezuelan Eco-socialism.
Ciao, Sid.
