Today less than 2 percent of farms are controlled by black people--a loss of over 14 million acres and the result of discrimination and dispossession. While farm management is among the whitest of professions, farm labor is predominantly brown and exploited, and people of color disproportionately live in \"food apartheid\" neighborhoods and suffer from diet-related illness.

Throughout the chapters Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described--from whole farm planning, soil fertility, seed selection, and agroecology, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes, sharing stories of ancestors, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land.

In this powerful manifesto, Francoise Verges argues that feminists should no longer be accomplices of capitalism, racism, colonialism and imperialism: it is time to fight the system that created the boss, built the prisons and polices women's bodies. A Decolonial Feminism grapples with the central issues in feminist debates today: from Eurocentrism and whiteness, to power, inclusion and exclusion. Delving into feminist and anti-racist histories, Verges also assesses contemporary activism, movements and struggles, including #MeToo and the Women's Strike. Centring anticolonialism and anti-racism within an intersectional Marxist feminism, the book puts forward an urgent demand to free ourselves from the capitalist, imperialist forces that oppress us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"titleId\" data-title-id=\"76482845\"\u003e'Incisive... an invitation to reconnect with the utopian power of feminism' - Aurelien Maignant, Fabula\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"titleId\" data-title-id=\"76482845\"\u003e'A powerful work' - 'Les Inrocks'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Contributors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan id=\"titleId\" data-title-id=\"76482845\"\u003eFrancoise Verges \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan id=\"titleId\" data-title-id=\"76482845\"\u003eis an activist and public educator.

To effectively counter fascist movements, we need to understand them beyond their most visible and public expressions.

There we will find \u003ci\u003emicrofascism\u003c\/i\u003e, or the cultural ways in which a fascist understanding of the world is generated from the hatreds that suffuse everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy highlighting the misogyny at fascism's core, we are able to observe a key process in the formation of a fascist body. Recognizing the microfascism behind appeals to recover the past glory of white male subjects created by earlier foundational wars, we see how histories of settler colonialism, genocide, and domination are animating the deadly mission of fascism today. By focusing on the variety of ways the resurgent fascist tendency courts its own destruction (and demands the destruction of others), we can trace how fascism refines and expands the death and annihilation that underpins capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Microfascism\u003c\/i\u003e is far-reaching and unsettling.

Rooted in an understanding of how the fascist body is constructed, we can develop the collective power to dismember it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Microfascism\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e provides crucial insight into the gendered dynamics and libidinal binds of everyday fascisms.

Its proliferation in the workplace gives the impression of a fairer, more efficient system of management. A machine can't discriminate, after all. Augmented Exploitation explores the reality of the impact of AI on workers' lives. While the consensus is that AI is a completely new way of managing a workplace, the authors show that, on the contrary, AI is used as most technologies are used under capitalism: as a smokescreen that hides the deep exploitation of workers. Going beyond platform work and the gig economy, the authors explore emerging forms of algorithmic governance and AI-augmented apps that have been developed to utilize innovative ways to collect data about workers and consumers, as well as to keep wages and worker representation under control. They also show that workers are not taking this lying down, providing case studies of new and exciting form of resistance that are springing up across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Editors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan data-title-id=\"76482858\" id=\"titleId\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhoebe Moore\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Political Economy and Technology based at the University of Leicester School of Business and a Research Fellow at the Social Science Center Berlin (WZB).

Anticolonial revolts and slave rebellions have often been described by those in power as \"eruptions\"--volcanic shocks to a system that does not, cannot, see them coming. In \u003ci\u003eAnticolonial Eruptions\u003c\/i\u003e, Geo Maher diagnoses a paradoxical weakness built right into the foundations of white supremacist power, a colonial blind spot that grows as domination seems more complete. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnticolonial Eruptions\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the colonizer's weakness is rooted in dehumanization. When the oppressed and excluded rise up in explosive rebellion, with the very human demands for life and liberation, the powerful are ill-prepared. This colonial blind spot is, ironically, self-imposed: the more oppressive and expansive the colonial power, the lesser-than-human the colonized are believed to be, the greater the opportunity for resistance. Maher calls this paradox the cunning of decolonization, an unwitting reversal of the balance of power between the oppressor and the oppressed. Where colonial power asserts itself as unshakable, total, and perpetual, a blind spot provides strategic cover for revolutionary possibility; where race or gender make the colonized invisible, they organize, unseen. \u003ci\u003eAnticolonial Eruptions\u003c\/i\u003e shows that this fundamental weakness of colonialism is not a bug, but a permanent feature of the system, providing grounds for optimism in a contemporary moment roiled by global struggles for liberation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eNumber 15 in the University of California Press series \u003ca class=\"text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/burningbooks.com\/collections\/american-studies-now-critical-histories-of-the-present\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-title-id=\"45488080\" id=\"titleId\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"productDetailTitle\"\u003eAmerican Studies Now: Critical Histories of the Present\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\"This book is a treasure, dissecting the insidious workings of colonialism in degrading the colonized.

Another of the powerful currents running through this book is a reclaiming of Indigenous perspectives as a colossal influence on European thought, a valuable contribution to decolonizing global histories.\" -- Rebecca Solnit, author of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/burningbooks.com\/products\/hope-in-the-dark-untold-histories-wild-possibilities\" title=\"Hope in the Dark\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eHope in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/burningbooks.com\/products\/orwells-roses-pb\" title=\"Orwell's Roses\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrwell's Roses\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Authors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Graeber\u003c\/b\u003e was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics.
