No storming of the Bastille. No mutiny on the Aurora. Instead, the mediocre have seized power without firing a single shot. They rose to power on the tide of an economy where workers produce assembly-line meals without knowing how to cook at home, give customers instructions over the phone that they themselves don’t understand, or sell books and newspapers that they never read. Canadian intellectual juggernaut Alain Deneault has taken on all kinds of evildoers: mining companies, tax-dodgers, and corporate criminals. Now he takes on the most menacing threat of all: the mediocre. Alain Deneault, a Doctor of Philosophy from the Université Paris-VIII, teaches « critical thinking » in political science at the Université de Montréal. He is also the author of Offshore, Tax Havens and the Rule of Global Crime (The New Press, 2011). « One of the main intellectuals among the Canadian critical left, with Naomi Klein » MORE THAN 50 000 COPIES SOLD Aude Lancelin RIGHTS SOLD ITALY Neri Pozza ENGLISH CANADA Between The Lines (English rights) SPANISH Turner Libros ARABIC RIGHTS Dar Soual ALSO BY ALAIN DENAULT POLITICS OF THE EXTREME CENTER 2016 – 100 pages Rights sold Italy : Neri Pozza / English Canada : Between The Lines (English rights) / Spanish :Turner Libros / Korean: Gyeol «GOVERNANCE»: ON TOTALITARIAN MANAGEMENT 2013 – 200 pages Rights sold Italy : Neri Pozza The emotion doctrine Anne-Cécile Robert 2018 – 176 pages Emotion has invaded social and political space to the detriment of other means of understanding the world, notably reason. Of course, as Hegel would say, «nothing great in the world has ever been ac- complished without passion», but the empire of affection has beco- me a threat to democracy. It transforms human beings, broken by inequality, into their own executioners, inviting them to weep instead of taking action. After Naomi Klein demonstrated how the « shock doctrine » enables capitalism to thrive in the face of catastrophe, Anne-Cécile Robert analyses how social control is exerted through emotion and studies its most poisonous manifestations: compassio- nate narcissism on social networks, political discourse reduced to preachiness, expansion of the crime and miscellaneous news sections in the media, the staging of silent marches etc. This is a much-needed reflection on the mind-numbing expansion of teardrop territory and a civic appeal to a return to reason. French journalist Anne-Cécile Robert is a member of the editorial board of Le Monde Diplomatique. Her fields of specialization are European institutions and Africa. She is also associate professor at the Institute of European Studies of the Université Paris-VIII. Brussels, building sites An architectural critique of Europe Ludovic Lamant 2018 – 224 pages Nobody understands anything about Europe anymore, its indigestible treaties, its never-ending crises. Taking the expression «european construction» literally, Ludovic Lamant explores the most visible di- mension of the EU: its institutional buildings. Wandering through the streets of the city he loves, the author meets not only the architects and urbanists who designed the European quarter, but also, tellingly, those who were barred from doing so. He encounters the members of parliament and civil servants who make Europe work on a daily basis and those bent on reforming it. The four one-way lanes of the rue de la Loi («Law street»), the wind-corridor of the Solidarnosc esplanade, the caged «space egg» in the new EU Council building: the architectu- ral clutter that disfigures the Belgian capital symbolizes the transfor- mation of a promising political project into a bureaucratic machine. A stroll through the young ruins of an old dream that may still be alive. Ludovic Lamant is a member of the editorial board of the independent news site Mediapart. From 2012 to 2017 he was the Brussels-based correspondent and covered the European and Spanish crises.

Those Who Laugh A Tribute to my Innu Friends Serge Bouchard & Marie-Christine Lévesque 2017 – 320 pages The Innus have been living on the land that is now called Quebec for more than three thousand years. These nomadic people were the first to establish commercial and cultural relations with the Europeans. Today, they form a nation of eighteen thousand members, distributed in eleven communities and their language and culture have survived to the settling down and the other devastating effects of colonialism. Their land, Borealia, was Serge Bouchard’s field of study when he started his graduate studies in anthropology and ever since then, after 50 years of profound friendship, he has stayed close to these women and men who’s resilience is impetuous. And now, the Innus have chosen him, Kauishtut, the «bearded man», to write their history in a book that is probably one of the most beautiful and strong that Lux has ever published. Serge Bouchard is an anthropologist, an essayist and a radio host. He specializes in First Nations cultures and nordicity and has studied the “Middle-North” and the Great North, Yukon and Nunavik. He was awarded an Governor General’s Literary Award in 2017. Stolen Sisters Emmanuelle Walter 224 pages Canada has only recently been rocked by the brutal violence against young Aboriginal women. An official report revealed that since 1980, at least 1 200 Canadian Aboriginal women have been murdered or have gone missing. This alarming official figure reveals a national tragedy and the systemic failure of law enforcement and of all levels of government to address the issue. Journalist Emmanuelle Walter spent two years investigating this crisis and has crafted a moving representative account of the disappearance of two young women, Maisy Odjick and Shannon Alexander, teenagers who have been missing since September 2008. Through personal testimonies, interviews, press clippings and official documents, Walter pieces together the disappearance and loss of these two young lives, revealing these young women through the voices of family members and witnesses. Stolen Sisters is a moving and deeply shocking work of investigative journalism that makes the claim that not only is Canada failing First Nations communities, but that a feminicide is taking place. RIGHTS SOLD ENGLISH CANADA Harper Collins The Centre of the World Emmanuelle Walter 152 pages At the beginning of Summer 2015, Emmanuelle Walter travelled across James Bay, in Quebec, with her local guide, the aboriginal leader Romeo Saganash: negotiator for the UN Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples and MP of a district the size of a continent.With country music in the background, he told his story and the story of his homeland, in a pickup truck with stop- overs in a dozen towns and communities. This road story depicts a vast and essential yet widely unknown part of Quebec, a land defaced by extractivism and global warming, but actively co-governed and managed by Canada’s first Cree and white Francophone municipality. Thanks to her guide, the author discovers a changing landscape, an unsuspected political laboratory and surprising characters : those who find creative and complex ways of living together on the Canadian Shield bedrock. Emmanuelle Walter is an independent journalist. She has worked for Liberation, Le Nouvel Observateur, ARTE Radio and Terra eco. Originally from France, she lives in Montreal. Indigenous Army The Defeat of Napoleon in Haïti Jean-Pierre Le Glaunec 2014 – 288 pages Valmy, Austerlitz, Ulm, Waterloo… so many battles whose names are so familiar to us. But who, outside of Haiti, has ever heard of the Batt- le of Vertières, that spectacular and bloody culmination of the Haitian Revolution? Who is aware that the clash resulted, in 1803, in one of the worst de- feats of the Napoleonic wars? Or that the Black Haitians were making demands in line with the ideals of the Revolution? Those that know this history are few and far between, because France, defeated, set to work erasing every trace of its embarrassment. Yet this battle should be recognized as a milestone: its outcome, disastrous to the French colonial power, irreparably cracked the foundations of slavery. In this work, Jean-Pierre Le Glaunec describes the unbelievable vio- lence of this war between masters and former slaves, between the troops of Generals Leclerc and Rochambeau and the so-called Indige- nous Army of Jean-Jacques Dessalines. He questions the meaning of the erasure of this battle from French history, as well as the troubled place it holds in the memory of the Haitian elite, as a symbol of eman- cipation sometimes cumbrous to those who would maintain practices of enslavement. Jean-Pierre Le Glaunec is an associate professor of history at the Université de Sherbrooke. He teaches American and Haitian history, as well as the history of Blacks in the Americas. RIGHTS SOLD ENGLISH McGill-Queen’s University Press Fear of the People Political Agoraphilia and Agoraphobia Francis Dupuis-Déri 2016 - 464 pages While some view popular movements as the perfect embodiment of direct democracy, others only see them as, while sympathetic, essentially insignificant mobilizations. That is, when they are not trying to outright discredit them through accusations of violence.

  • Beginning to WW II: Reichstag Fire and Assault on Democracy in Germany
    H-War Beginning to WW II: Reichstag Fire and Assault on Democracy in Germany Discussion published by Wyatt Reader M.A. on Friday, August 6, 2021 Beginnings to WW II actually started befoe 1939 invasion by Germany of Poland; as early as the elections in 1930s, which brought Nazi Germans to the Govt. of Germany formed after WW I and its attempts to establish a Democracy within German following the loss during WW I and rule by an autocratic Monarchy in the Age of European Monarchies. Democracy suffered its first blows from the economic chaos created during the Great Depression and attempts to deal with economic collapse out of WW I. No attempt here to be the definitive recount to 20th Century History and its battle with despotism and dictatorship. However, it is worth relating these few online sources[3 of them] concerned with the Reichstag Fire, 4 months after the non-conclusive election in Germany created a need for coalition government due to lack of a clear political victory for Democracy's political leadership during the 1930s. Out of that shortfall, Nazi political party goals turned Germany on end by staging a false fire in the German Parliament of that day. The excuse claimed by Nazi's was Communist inspired threats had cause the burning of Germany's Parliament building[all too parallel to 1/6 US events]. This History of German internal political challenge to Democracy became the very Dictatorship that plunged the Nations and Peoples of the World into WW II and its murderous consequences for the US and beyond; it, also result in the consequences leading to shaping postwar 20th Century History down tto the very present times and latest generations.

  • The Reichstag Fire Trial
    THE This is the third and last part of this series of articles on a criti­ REICHSTAG cal episode of modern times. The first two parts appeared in pre­ FIRE vious issues of LIBERA­ TION. by L BERNSTEIN Dimitrov, van der Lubbe, Goering. These are the characters, the main characters of the Reichstag fire trial. Goering the Nazi Minister; van der Lubbe, the scapegoat hireling; Dimitrov, the Communist revolutionary. Of the others there is little to say. They were accused, and they were defended. Dimitrov did not defend" himself; he attacked. Repeatedly, until the very end of the triel he demanded his right to bring counsel from abroad to appear on his behalf. To the end, his demands were refused by the court. In his last summing up to the court, he applied again, and failed again. , "I have no personal mistrust of Dr. Teicher" said Dimitrov of the German lawyer who assisted him in the preparation of his defence, "but in the present conditions in Germany I cannot have the necessary confidence in his official defence. For this rea­ son I am attempting to defend myself ... I do not wish to offend my party comrade Torgler, particularly as, in my opinion, his defending counsel has already offended him enough, but as far as I am concerned, I woidd sooner be sentenced to death by this court though innocent, than be acquitted by the sort of defence put forward by Dr. Sack (for Torgler.)" This statement is more than just the measure of the man; it is the spirit in which his defence was conducted.

I look to philosopher Simone Weil (1909-1943), who brings to the Western tradition her insight as a refugee who attended to other refugees. Deploying the tropes of Threshold, Refuge, and Attention (which I garner and elaborate from her writings) I read Weil as an eminently political theorist whose practice of befriending political strangers maintains the urgent, interrogative insight of the refugee while tempering certain “temptations of exile.” On my reading, Weil’s body of theory travels physically and conceptually among plural, intersecting, and conflicting bodies politic, finding in each a source of limited, imperfect, and precious Refuge.

Tt is the period of the "desperate thirties/1 Throughout the world, the **• most bitter economic crisis of all time creeps like a blight, unseating governments, overturning thrones, bankrupting financiers and closing tho doors of factories.

By 1931, the number of workless has risen to six million, and average wages have dropped by another 10 marks; by 1932, nine million, and the numbers of the unemployed growing every day, swelled by uncounted thousands of shopkeepers and peasants forced into bankruptcy. It is a period of desperation; in every strata of society there is a feeling that changes must be made; things can not go on they way they are.

  • The Enabling Act of 23 March 1933 the Political Situation in the Final Stages of the Weimar Republic Was Confusing and Unstable
    HISTORICAL EXHIBITION PRESENTED BY THE GERMAN BUNDESTAG ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Enabling Act of 23 March 1933 The political situation in the final stages of the Weimar Republic was confusing and unstable. Changing cabinets and coalitions and political, social and economic crises were the order of the day. Paul von Hindenburg, President of the Reich, was resorting more and more frequently to emergency decrees and dissolved the Reichstag twice in 1932. The prevailing political conditions facilitated the transition of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) from a radical splinter group to a party of government. In the two elections to the Reichstag in 1932 and in the election of 1933, which was free only on paper, the NSDAP won the largest share of the vote by far. On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of the Reich by President Hindenburg. Hitler was thus placed at the head of a cabinet comprising non-attached Conservative ministers, members of the NSDAP and representatives of the German National People’s Party (DNVP). The direction in which the political situation would develop under Hitler became clear only shortly after he took office. The Reichstag Fire Decree (Reichstagsbrandverordnung), enacted only one day after the fire in the Reichstag building on 27 February 1933, severely curtailed fundamental rights, subjected the police largely to the control of the national government and thereby created all sorts of opportunities for the persecution and elimination of political opponents, which the police and the so- called auxiliary police forces formed by SA and SS troops exploited to the full. The next step towards the ‘Führer state’ was the abolition of parliamentary democracy and the rule of law.
