New salvo from the world’s leading dissident intellectual
on Western Terrorism
From Hiroshima to Drone Warfare
Noam chomsky and andre Vltchek
In On Western Terrorism Noam Chomsky, world renowned dissident
intellectual, discusses Western power and propaganda with filmmaker
and investigative journalist Andre Vltchek. The discussion weaves
historical narrative with the two men's personal experiences which
have led them to a life of activism.
Beginning with the New York newsstand where Chomsky began
his political education as a teenager, the discussion broadens out to
the shifting forms of imperial control and the Western propaganda
apparatus. Along the way Chomsky and Vltchek touch upon many
countries of which they have personal experience, including Nicaragua,
Cuba, China, Chile and Turkey.
A blast of fresh air which blows away the cobwebs of propaganda
and deception, On Western Terrorism is a powerful critique of the
West's role in the world and a testament to two lives dedicated to
humanism, activism and the search for knowledge.
Noam chomsKy is a world renowned linguist and one of America's
foremost social critics. He is Institute Professor in the Department of
Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and the author of numerous books for
Pluto Press, including Fateful Triangle, The New Military Humanism, Power
and Terror and A New Generation Draws the Line.
aNdre VlTcheK is a novelist, filmmaker, investigative journalist and
playwright. He is the author of a number of books including Indonesia:
Archipelago of Fear (Pluto, 2012) and Oceania (2009). He currently lives and
works in East Africa, Indonesia and Japan.

Revolutionary Democrat
Victor figueroa clark
Series: Revolutionary Lives
This is a political biography of one of the 20th century’s most
emblematic left-wing figures - Salvador Allende, who was president of
Chile until he was ousted by General Pinochet in a US-supported coup
in 1973.
Victor Figueroa Clark guides us through Allende's life and political
project, answering some of the most frequently asked questions.
Was he a revolutionary or a reformist? A bureaucrat or inspirational
democrat? Clark argues that Allende and the Popular Unity Party
created a unique fusion which was both revolutionary and democratic.
The process led by Allende was a symbol of hope for the left during his
short time in power.
Forty years on, and with left governments back in power across
Latin America, this book looks back at the man and the process in
order to draw vital lessons for the left in Latin America and around the
world today.
VicTor figUeroa clarK lectures at the London School of Economics
and is the editor of lefthistory.com. His previous works include a history of
the Chilean volunteers who fought for the Sandinistas.

The red suffragette
sylvia Pankhurst
Suffragette, Socialist and Scourge of Empire
Katherine connelly
Series: Revolutionary Lives
Sylvia Pankhurst dedicated her life to fighting oppression and injustice.
In this vivid biography Katherine Connelly charts Pankhurst's
activism from her teens as a member of the Independent Labour
Party, to her time as a leading suffragette before the First World War,
through to her revolutionary socialist, anti-fascist and anti-imperialist
campaigning in later years.
Connelly analyses the frustrating aspects of Pankhurst's political
practice: why she did not speak out earlier in the suffragette
movement, why she let herself be forced out of the Women’s Social
and Political Union and why she ended her days under the patronage
of the Emperor of Ethiopia.
This lively and accessible biography presents Pankhurst, despite her
flaws, as a courageous and inspiring campaigner, of huge relevance to
those engaged in political struggles today.
KaTheriNe coNNelly is a leading member of Counterfire and a
regular contributor to its online magazine. She has also contributed to
International Socialism and Socialist Review, and is currently conducting
doctoral research in History at Queen Mary, University of London.

The Poverty of
capitalism
Economic Meltdown and the Struggle for
What Comes Next
John hilary
Capitalist growth is widely heralded as the only answer to the
crisis still sweeping the global economy. Yet the era of corporate
globalisation has been defined by unprecedented levels of inequality
and environmental degradation. A return to capitalist growth
threatens to exacerbate these problems, not solve them.
In The Poverty of Capitalism, John Hilary reveals the true face
of transnational capital in its insatiable drive for expansion and
accumulation. He exposes the myth of ‘corporate social responsibility’
(CSR), and highlights key areas of conflict over natural resources,
labour rights and food sovereignty.
Hilary also describes the growing popular resistance to corporate
power, as well as the new social movements seeking to develop
alternatives to capitalism itself. This book will be essential reading for
all those concerned with global justice, human rights and equity in the
world order.
JohN hilary is Executive Director of War on Want.

The global aviation economy
Plane Truth
Aviation’s Real Impact on People and the
Environment
rose bridger
Aviation is one of the world’s fastest growing industries. Passenger
numbers and cargo volumes are projected to double in the next 20
years. Yet aviation is a fast growing source of greenhouse gas emissions
and plans for expansion are met with protests around the world.
Plane Truth shows how new runways and airports gobble up
farmland and wildlife habitats and inflict noise and air pollution on
communities. It reveals the extraordinary level of subsidy for the
industry, from government expenditure on infrastructure to tax
breaks, and shows how urbanisation surrounding airports is a growing
source of revenue for airport growth. Bridger explains how these
revenue streams support aviation in the face of rising oil prices and the
global economic downturn.
Plane Truth demolishes industry claims that fuel efficient aircraft
and alternative fuels can enable growth without increasing climate
change and reveals the symbiotic relationship between aviation and
wider socio-economic problems.
rose bridger works on environmental issues in the UK in the areas
of policy, practical projects and community development. She has been
a consultant for the local food sector and campaigned against air freight
expansion for a number of years.

austerity ireland
The Failure of Irish Capitalism
Kieran allen with brian o'boyle
Ireland has been marketed as the poster boy of EU austerity. EU elites
and neoliberal commentators claim that the country’s ability to suffer
economic pain will attract investors and generate a recovery.
In Austerity Ireland, Kieran Allen challenges this official narrative
and argues that the Irish state’s response to the crash has primarily
been designed to protect economic privilege. The resulting austerity
has been a failure and is likely to produce a decade of hardship.
The book offers a deeply informed diagnosis of Ireland's current
socio-economic and political malaise, suggesting that a political
earthquake is underway which may benefit the left. Austerity Ireland is
essential reading for students of Irish politics and economics, as well
as those interested in the politics of austerity and the eurozone crisis.
KieraN alleN is a sociology lecturer at University College Dublin. His
books include Marx and the Alternative to Capitalism (Pluto, 2011) and Max
Weber: A Critical Introduction (Pluto, 2004) as well as a number of works on
Irish society and politics.
briaN o' boyle is the Economic Programme Director at St Angela's
College, National University of Ireland, Galway. He has published a number
of articles in International Critical Thought, Cambridge Journal of Economics

Vision and strategy from Europe's new left
crucible of resistance
Greece, the Eurozone and the World
Economy
Christos Laskos and Euclid Tsakalotos
Crucible of Resistance seeks to challenge the mainstream account of
the 'Greek Crisis' and situate it within a broader regional context and
ultimately a critique of the world economic system.
Christos Laskos and Euclid Tsakalotos argue that Greece’s
exceptionalism is largely a myth. They show how the causes of the
Greek crisis lie in key features of the neoliberal economic order,
including income and wealth inequalities and the hollowing out of
democratic and deliberative institutions. A progressive exit from the
crisis, for Greece and the eurozone as a whole, entails meeting head-on
the limitations of the neoliberal order.
Crucible of Resistance argues that an effective response means
confronting not just neoliberalism, but also the earlier socialdemocratic
Keynesian regime. This book widens out the debate about
the crisis in Greece and the eurozone, linking it to socialist and class
strategies at the international level.
chrisTos lasKos is an economist, teacher and co-author, with Euclid
Tsakalotos, of 22 Things that they tell you about the Greek crisis that aren’t
so (2013). He is a member of the political secretariat of SYRIZA, the Greek

bad News for refugees
greg Philo, emma briant and Pauline donald
Bad News for Refugees analyses the political, economic and
environmental contexts of migration and looks specifically at how
refugees and asylum seekers have been stigmatised in political rhetoric
and in media coverage.
Through forensic research it shows how hysterical and inaccurate
media accounts act to legitimise political action which can have terrible
consequences both on the lives of refugees and also on established
migrant communities.
Based on new research by the renowned Glasgow Media Group, Bad
News for Refugees is essential reading for those concerned with the
negative effects of media on public understanding and for the safety of
vulnerable groups and communities in our society.

A Critical Introduction to Business and
Financial Journalism
Keith J. butterick
Churnalism, Complacency and Collusion provides a definitive analysis
of financial and business journalism - its origins, how and why it
developed and how it shapes and influences political debates.
Keith J. Butterick provides a compelling explanation for why big
business needs the press and why the press needs big business. The
book cuts through the fog of misreporting which occurred during the
recent financial crisis, explaining just why so much that passes for
financial journalism is inadequate.
Butterick sheds light on an area of journalism which is little
understood, revealing the models by which it operates and why
business and financial journalism continues to be more successful
than other sectors of the print media. It will be essential reading for
students of journalism and media studies.

common ground
Democracy and Collectivity in an Age of
Individualism
Jeremy gilbert
Common Ground explores the philosophical relationship between
collectivity, individuality, affect and agency in the neoliberal era.
Jeremy Gilbert argues that individualism is forced upon us by
neoliberal culture, fatally limiting our capacity to escape the current
crisis of democratic politics.
The book asks how forces and ideas opposed to neoliberal
hegemony, and to the individualist tradition in Western thought,
might serve to protect some idea of communality, and how far we
must accept assumptions about the nature of individuality and
collectivity which are the legacy of an elitist tradition. Along the
way it examines different ideas and practices of collectivity, from
conservative notions of hierarchical and patriarchal communities to
the politics of ‘horizontality’ and ‘the commons’ which are at the heart
of radical movements today .
Exploring this fundamental faultline in contemporary political
struggle, Common Ground proposes a radically non-individualist mode
of imagining social life, collective creativity and democratic possibility.
Jeremy gilberT is Professor of Cultural and Political Theory at the
University of East London. He edits the journal New Formations and is an
adviser to several other journals including Soundings and Social Movement
Studies. He is the co-author of Discographies: Dance, Music, Culture and

Groundbreaking intervention in queer studies
After Queer Theory
The Limits of Sexual Politics
James Penney
After Queer Theory makes the provocative claim that queer theory has
run its course, made obsolete by the elaboration of its own logic within
capitalism. James Penney argues that far from signalling the end of
anti-homophobic criticism, however, the end of queer presents the
occasion to rethink the relation between sexuality and politics.
Through a critical return to Marxism and psychoanalysis (Freud
and Lacan), Penney insists that the way to implant sexuality in the
field of political antagonism is paradoxically to abandon the exhausted
premise of a politicised sexuality.
After Queer Theory argues that it is necessary to wrest sexuality
from the dead-end of identity politics, opening it up to a universal
emancipatory struggle beyond the reach of capitalism's powers of
commodification.
James PeNNey teaches cultural theory at Trent University, Canada. He is
the author of The Structures of Love: Art and Politics beyond the Transference
(2012), and The World of Perversion: Psychoanalysis and the Impossible
Absolute of Desire (2006).

The Politics of
islamophobia
Race, Power and Fantasy
david Tyrer
Series: Decolonial Studies, Postcolonial Horizons
Despite its emblematic place within contemporary racism and
its increasingly important position in defining relations between
states and ethnicised minorities, Islamophobia remains a contested,
frequently unrecognised and largely under-theorised form of racism.
The Politics of Islamophobia provides a definitive contribution
to these debates, offering a theoretically sophisticated account
which draws upon a series of substantive case studies to position
Islamophobia as an expression of racialised governmentality.
By taking into account connections across different national
contexts, and by moving beyond the limiting framing of the 'War on
Terror' which has dominated recent debates, this book offers a new
perspective on the study of Islamophobia.

From Cold War subversion to the new scramble for Africa
The Threat of Liberation
Imperialism and Revolution in Zanzibar
amrit Wilson
The Threat of Liberation returns to the tumultuous years of the Cold
War, when, in a striking parallel with today, imperialist powers were
seeking to institute ‘regime change’ and install pliant governments.
Using iconic photographs, declassified US and British documents,
and in-depth interviews, Amrit Wilson examines the role of the Umma
Party of Zanzibar and its leader, the visionary Marxist revolutionary,
Abdulrahman Mohamed Babu. Drawing parallels between US paranoia
about Chinese Communist influence in the 1960s with contemporary
fears about Chinese influence, it looks at the new race for Africa’s
resources, the creation of AFRICOM and how East African politicians
have bolstered US control. The book also draws on US cables released
by Wikileaks showing Zanzibar's role in the ‘War on Terror’ in Eastern
Africa today.
The Threat of Liberation reflects on the history of a party which
confronted imperialism and built unity across ethnic divisions, and
considers the contemporary relevance of such strategies.

black star
Britain's Asian Youth Movements
anandi ramamurthy
Black Star documents the Asian Youth Movements that emerged in
1970s and 1980s Britain. These organisations, established by the
children of early migrants, were determined to struggle against both
the racism of the street and the state. Anandi Ramamurthy shows how
they drew inspiration from black power movements as well as antiimperialist
and workers' struggles across the globe.
Ramamurthy traces how they were part of a wider collective
struggling for social justice and national liberation. In their struggle to
make Britain their home they identified with a broad-based black unity
where black was a political colour inspiring unity amongst all those
struggling against racism.
The book documents how by the late 1980s this broad based
black identity disintegrated as Islamophobia became a new form of
racism. In the process the legacy of the Asian Youth Movements has
been largely lost. Black Star retrieves this history and assesses its
importance for political struggles in Britain today.

Turkey reframed
Constituting Neoliberal Hegemony
edited by Ahmet bekmen, İsmet Akça and
barış Alp Özden
Turkey Reframed documents the first decade of the 2000s, a period of
radical change in Turkish society and politics, which has been marked
by the major economic crisis of 2001 and the coming to power of
ex-Islamist cadres organised under the Justice and Development Party
(AKP).
The contributors analyse this period of radical change, with its
continuities and breaks, and its main actor, the AKP, in relation to
the creation of a neoliberal hegemony in post-1980 Turkey. They
analyse why the conflictual, turbulent and painful history of neoliberal
hegemony has reached a point of stabilisation under successive AKP
governments.
Turkey Reframed is a cutting-edge guide for students, scholars
and other interested readers who want to understand this period in
Turkey’s recent history.

final solutions
Human Nature, Capitalism and Genocide
sabby sagall
Final Solutions offers a ground breaking and genuinely unique
analysis of modern genocide. Sabby Sagall draws on the insights
of the Frankfurt School and Wilhelm Reich to create an innovative
combination of Marxism and psychoanalysis. He argues that genocide
is a product of an ‘irrational’ destructiveness by social classes or
communities that have suffered major historical defeats or similar
forms of extreme stress.
Sagall shows how the denial of human needs and the ensuing
feelings of isolation and powerlessness propel groups to project the
rage, hatred and destructiveness engendered by these defeats on to the
'outsider' and the 'other'.
The book applies this theoretical framework to four modern
genocides – those of the Native Americans, the Armenians, the Jews
and the Rwandan Tutsis. This is a truly pioneering contribution which
adds to our understanding of some of the darkest hours of humanity –
and how we can stop them from happening again.
sabby sagall is a former senior lecturer in Sociology at the University of
East London. He writes regularly for Socialist Review.

Rebellious theory
subalternity,

Constructing the Political Subject
massimo modonesi. Foreword by John
holloway
Series: Reading Gramsci
In this bold and innovative book, Massimo Modonesi weaves together
theory and political practice by relating the concepts of subalternity,
antagonism and autonomy to contemporary movements in Latin
America and elsewhere.
In a sophisticated account, Modonesi reconstructs the debates
between Marxist authors and schools of thought in order to sketch out
informed strategies of resistance. He reviews the works of Gramsci,
Negri, Castoriadis and Lefort, and engages with the arguments made
by E. P. Thompson, Spivak, Laclau and Mouffe.
Subalternity, Antagonism, Autonomy firmly roots key theoretical
arguments from a range of critical thinkers within specific political
movements in order to recover these concepts as analytical
instruments which can help to guide contemporary struggles.

The Gloss of harmony
The Politics of Policy Making in Multilateral
Organisations
edited by birgit müller
Series: Anthropology, Culture and Society
The Gloss of Harmony focuses on agencies of the United Nations,
examining the paradox of entrusting relatively powerless and
underfunded organisations with the responsibility of tackling some of
the essential problems of our time.
The authors of this collection look not only at the official objectives
and unintended consequences of international governance but also
at how international organisations involve collective and individual
actors in policy making, absorb critique, attempt to neutralise political
conflict and create new political fields with local actors and national
governments.
The Gloss of Harmony identifies the micro-social processes and
complexities within multilateral organisations which have, up to
now, been largely invisible. This book will have wide appeal not only
to students and academics in anthropology, business studies and
sociology but also to all practioners concerned with international
governance.

Comparing Parliamentary Public Accounts
Committees
rick stapenhurst, riccardo Pelizzo and Kerry
Jacobs
This report reexamines the ways in which parliamentary committees
can enhance democratic governance.
Revisiting a report first published 10 years ago, it reasseses the ways
in which Public Accounts Committees (PACS) work in practice, and
whether they continue to fulfil expectations as important guarantors
of good governance.
Noting that PACS themselves, and our knowledge about them,
have evolved substantially in the intervening decade, this volume
examines the original concept of public financial accountability,
noting its origins in the 19th century, evaluates the findings of the
original study, analyses research data produced in the aftermath of
the first report and considers the practices and challenges facing PACs
in the second decade of the 21st century, such as capacity building,
independence and information exchange.

Prisoners of the White
house
The Isolation of America's Presidents and
the Crisis of Leadership
Kenneth t. Walsh
Prisoners of the White House looks at the isolation experienced by
presidents of the United States in the White House, a habitat almost
guaranteed to keep America’s commander in chief far removed from
everyday life. The authors look at how this is emerging as one of the
most serious dilemmas facing the American presidency.
As presidents have become more isolated, the role of the
presidential pollster has grown. Ken Walsh has been given exclusive
access to the polls and confidential memos received by presidents over
the years, and has interviewed presidential pollsters directly to gain
their unique perspective.
Prisoners of the White House gets inside the bubble and punctures
the mythology surrounding the presidency.

The battle for America
The Tea Party, Occupy, and Their Impact on

david meyer
The Tea Party and Occupy movements illustrate both the high

different strategies for trying to realise their distinct visions of the
American Dream.
This book focuses on the time between the election of Barack
Obama in 2008 and his re-election in November 2012. Meyer
argues that protest politics, represented by both the Tea Party and
Occupy, respond to - and influence - politics in mainstream political
institutions.
The Battle for America tells the stories of two emblematic movements
and examines the way that protest politics of any era shape the greater
political milieu in which they operate.

Series: Interventions: Education, Philosophy,

This is a book about what many teachers know: that real education
always involves a risk. The risk is there because students are not to be
seen as objects to be moulded and disciplined, but as subjects of action
and responsibility.
The Beautiful Risk of Education is organised around a critical
discussion of seven key educational concepts: creativity,
communication, teaching, learning, emancipation, democracy, and
virtuosity.
Gert J.J. Biesta makes a strong argument for giving risk a central
place in our educational endeavours and brings risk taking to the
forefront of a critical pedagogical practice.

It can be incorporated in a variety of university courses including the
social sciences, communication, journalism and media studies.
The authors identify the precise political positions of a spectrum
of American media and journalists from left to right, so as to point
students toward sources representing opposed viewpoints, in order to
reach a comparative analysis.
Other important issues dealt with include the various influences on
political bias as propagated by sources such as lobbies, public relations
agencies, think tanks and political advertising agencies.

Texting Toward Utopia
Kids, Writing, and Resistance
ben agger
This book examines the contemporary era where parents complain
that children today don’t do their homework because they are
distracted by the Internet, texting and video games.
Texting Towards Utopia presents the writings of today’s children and
develops the argument that this is actually a time of mass literacy, in
which young people write furiously, albeit often below the adult radar.
Agger argues that where texting replaces textbooks, the writing may
be emoticon-laden, slangy, or terse, but it still profound, as children
(and their parents) engage in resistance and write for a better world.
This book is a guide to understanding the meeting point between a
new generation of children and new communication technologies.

theory, including Postponing the Postmodern: Sociological Practices, Selves,

Perhaps the best-documented epidemic in the history of medicine,
kuru has been studied for more than fifty years by international

This significantly revised edition of the landmark anthropological
classic Kuru Sorcery brings up to date the anthropological contribution
to understanding disease, the medical research that resulted in two
medical Nobel Prizes, and the views of people who endured the
epidemic and who still believe that sorcerers, rather than cannibalism,
caused kuru.
The kuru epidemic serves as a prism through which to analyse
notions of disease and the body, the world of social and spiritual

Slatton examines the 'deep frame' of white men found in opinions
and emotional reactions to black women and their body types,
personalities, behaviours, and styles of speech. Their internet
responses to questionnaires shows how they treat as common sense
radicalised, gendered, and classed versions of black women.
Mythologizing Black Women argues that the internet acts as a
backstage setting, allowing white men to anonymously express raw
feelings about race and sexuality without the fear of reprimand.

Jihadist ideology
An Introduction
farhad Khosrokhavar
Many Middle East observers believe that social mobility and popular
frustration are the primary motivators of Jihadi terrorism against the
West.
This new book by a distinguished sociologist shows that Jihadist
ideology is paramount in the Jihadist movement. The author argues
that understanding the power of ideology may lead to better foreign
policy responses and a safer world.
Based on translations and public communications from several
languages, Khosrokavar offers a comprehensive understanding of
Jihadi ideology in Sunni and Shiite traditions.
farhad KhosroKhaVar is Professor at the École des Hautes Études en
Sciences Sociales in Paris. His most recent book in English is The New Arab
Revolutions that Shook the World (2012).

The myth of Liberal
ascendancy
Corporate Dominance from the Great
Depression to the Great Recession
G. Williams Domhoff
Based on new archival research, G. Williams Domhoff challenges
popular conceptions of the 1930s New Deal, arguing instead that this
period was one of increasing corporate dominance in government
affairs.
While FDR’s New Deal brought sweeping legislation, the tide
turned quickly after 1938. From that year onward nearly every major
new economic law passed by Congress showed the mark of corporate
dominance.
Domhoff concludes that in terms of economic influence, liberalism
was on a long steady decline, and that ironically it was the successes of
the civil rights, feminist, environmental, and gay-lesbian movements
that led to the final defeat of the liberal-labour alliance after 1968.
G. WiLLiAmS DOmhOFF is Professor Emeritus at UC-Santa Cruz. He is
the author of Who Rules America? (2009) and The New CEOs: Women, African
American, Latino, and Asian American Leaders of Fortune 500 Companies
(2011).
rethinking
contemporary social
Theory
roberta garner, black hawk hancock and
grace budrys
Rethinking Contemporary Social Theory outlines a new theoretical
paradigm emerging from out of social construction theory, conflict
theory, Marxism and critical theory and argues that these insights are
redefining social theory as a whole.
The authors select ten fields within sociology and in each one trace
the reception and impact of the new paradigm. The fields include
gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, media and the sociology of family life.
Drawing on Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,
the authors identify causes for this paradigm shift, which include the
contributions of specific individuals, the general intellectual climate
and various social changes such as globalisation and neoliberalism.

The civic imagination
Making a Difference in American Political
Life
gianpaolo baiocchi, elizabeth bennett, alissa
cordner, Peter Klein and stephanie savell
The Civic Imagination provides a rich empirical description of civic life
and a broader discussion of the future of democracy in contemporary
America.
Over the course of a year, five researchers observed and participated
in seven civic organisations in a mid-sized US city. They draw on this
ethnographic evidence to map the 'civic imaginations' that motivate
citizenship engagement in America today.
This will be an important book for students and academics
interested in political science and sociology.

music sociology
An Introduction to the Role of Music in
Social Life
sara Towe horsfall, Jan-martijn meij and
meghan Probstfield
Music Sociology explores 16 different genres to demonstrate that music
everywhere reflects social values, organisational processes, meanings
and individual identity.
Presenting original ethnographic research, the contributors use
descriptions of subcultures to explain the concepts of music sociology,
including the rituals that link people to music, the past and each other.
Music Sociology introduces the sociology of music to those who may
not be familiar with it and provides a basic historical perspective on
popular music in America and beyond.

University. Her most recent book is Social Problems: An Advocate Group
