Haymarket Books Fall 2016 HAYMARKET BOOKS Fall 2016 2016 Catalog layout_10.indd 1 5/3/16 1:48 PM About Haymarket Books Haymarket Books is a nonprofit, progressive book distributor and publisher. We believe that activists need to take ideas, history, and politics into the many struggles for social justice today. Learning the lessons of past victories, as well as defeats, can arm a new generation of fighters for a better world. As Karl Marx said, “The philosophers have merely interpreted the world; the point, however, is to change it.” “Haymarket is thriving in this tumultuous time because it publishes books that no conglomerate would touch. Haymarket, blissfully free of the preoccupation with profit, has a higher calling: to publish books that build movements.” —Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein “With speed, panache, élan, and rigor, Haymarket Books has made itself an indispensable resource to the thinking radical.” —China Miéville “Haymarket is Woody Guthrie’s guitar, a red lighthouse, and the promise of May.” —Mike Davis Get Every Single Haymarket Book! By joining the Haymarket Book Club, you’ll help ensure that the best of radical, independent publishing reaches a new generation of readers—while building a library of some of the best political books in print. Forget Amazon and the corporate bookstore chains. Every penny of your pledge goes back into the book production, outreach, and activist education vital to the battle for social justice. For a minimum pledge of $30 a month in the United States, or $50 a month overseas, you’ll receive every new title Haymarket Books publishes, plus a 20 percent discount on every item at HaymarketBooks.org. In addition, you’ll get a regular book-club newsletter and the opportunity to join reading groups and online book-discussion forums.

So fluent is her prose, so keen her understanding of global politics, and so resonant her objections to nuclear weapons, assaults against the environment, and the end- less suffering of the poor that her essays are as uplifting as they are galvanizing.” —Booklist “The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart.” —Alice Walker In late 2014, Arundhati Roy, John Cusack, and Daniel Ellsberg travelled to Moscow to meet with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The result was a series of essays and dialogues in which Roy and Cusack reflect on their conversations with Snowden. In these provocative and penetrating discussions, Roy and Cusack discuss the nature of the state, empire, and surveillance in an era of perpetual war; the meaning of flags and patri- otism; the role of foundations and NGOs in limiting dissent; and the ways in which capital but not people can freely cross borders. ARUNDHATI ROY studies architecture in New Delhi, India, where she now lives. She is the author of the novel The God of Small Things, for which she received the 1997 Booker Prize. The novel has been translated into forty lan- guages worldwide. She has written several nonfiction books, including Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers and Capitalism: A Ghost Story, both published by Haymarket Books. JOHN CUSACK is a writer, a filmmaker, and a board member of the Freedom of the Press Foundation. 978-1-60846-717-4 • Trade Paper • $9.95 • 120 pages • October 2016 3 2016 Catalog layout_10.indd 3 5/3/16 1:48 PM Demand the Impossible! A Radical Manifesto Bill Ayers Demand the Impossible! is a manifesto for movement- makers and an invitation to join hands and make history together. In an era defined by mass incarcer- ation, endless war, economic crisis, catastrophic envi- ronmental destruction, and a political system offering more of the same, radical social transformation has never been more urgent—or seemed more remote. Demand the Impossible! urges us to imagine a world beyond what this rotten system would have us believe is possible. In critiquing the world around us, insurgent educator and ac- tivist Bill Ayers uncovers cracks in the system, raises the horizons for radical change, and envisions strategies for building the movement we need to make a world worth living in. “Demand the Impossible! is more than a book, more than a manifesto. It is a torch. Bill Ayers’s vision for a humane future is incendiary—fire that incinerates old logics and illuminates new paths. If we do not end the violence of militarism, materialism, caging, dispossession, debt, want, ignorance, and global warming, our very survival is impossible. Read aloud.” –Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination BILL AYERS is a social justice activist, teacher, Distinguished Professor of Ed- ucation (retired) at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and author of two memoirs, Fugitive Days and Public Enemy. 4 978-1-60846-670-2 • Trade Paper • $12.95 • 150 pages • September 2016 2016 Catalog layout_10.indd 4 5/3/16 1:48 PM Silence Is Broken Further Reports from the Feminist Revolutions Rebecca Solnit In a timely and incisive follow-up to her national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit offers indispensable commentary on women who re- fuse 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 mixes humor, keen analy- sis, and powerful insight in these essays. Praise for Men Explain Things to Me: “It’s a fraught time to be female in America (or should I say fraught-er), and Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me is the most clarifying, soothing, and socially aware document I’ve read on the topic this year.” —Lena Dunham, Wall Street Journal “The antidote to mansplaining.” —The Stranger Writer, historian, and activist REBECCA SOLNIT is the author of numerous books about environment, landscape, community, art, politics, hope, and memo- ry, including the national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Hope in the Dark, The Faraway Nearby, A Paradise Built in Hell, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, Wan- derlust: A History of Walking, and River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism, and the Lannan Literary Award).

Read this book so a new generation of NBA players and fans will know his true story. Read this book to say not in a whisper but with a confident shout, ‘You DO want to be like Craig Hodges.’” —Dave Zirin, from the Introduction Blackballed NBA champion Craig Hodges explores the challenges and rewards of using a celebrity platform to stand up against racism and exploitation. From Michael Jordan to George H. W. Bush, Craig Hodges has never been shy about speaking truth to power—and it cost him dearly. In the prime of his career, Hodges was blackballed from the NBA for using his platform as a professional athlete to stand up against racism and economic exploitation. In this well-told and passionate memoir, Hodges shares the stories of his lifelong crusade to improve conditions for African Americans, including his collaborations with Jim Brown, R. Kelly, Nelson Mandela, Coretta Scott King, Michael Jordan, and more. CRAIG HODGES played in the NBA for ten seasons, during which time he led the league in three-point shooting percentage three times. He won two NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls in 1991 and 1992 and is a three-time Three-Point Contest champion at All-Star Weekend. RORY FANNING walked across the United States for the Pat Tillman Foun- dation in 2008 and 2009, following two deployments to Afghanistan with the Second Army Ranger Battalion. He is the author of Worth Fighting For: An Army Ranger’s Journey Out of the Military and Across America.

Hostil- ities engulfed the globe. The mobilization extended to virtually every sector of every nation. Air war, in- cluding the terror bombing of civilians, emerged as a central strategy of the victorious Anglo-American powers. The devastation was catastrophic almost everywhere, with the notable exception of the United States, which exited the strife unscathed and unmatched in power and influence.

STRATEGIES OF NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE IN THE RHETORIC OF ANTI-CORPORATE CAMPAIGNS by RICHARD ALEXANDER HERDER Under the Direction of Dr. Michael Bruner ABSTRACT In the years following World War II social activists learned to refine rhetorical techniques for gaining the attention of the new global mass media and developed anti-corporate campaigns to convince some of the world’s largest companies to concede to their demands. Despite these developments, rhetorical critics have tended to overlook anti-corporate campaigns as objects of study in their own right. One can account for the remarkable success of anti-corporate campaigns by understanding how activists have practiced prospective narrative disclosure, a calculated rhetorical wager that, through the public circulation of stories and texts disclosing problematic practices and answerable decision makers, activists can influence the policies and practices of prominent corporations. In support of this thesis, I provide case studies of two anti-corporate campaigns: the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union vs.

These rights include freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, legal equality, due process, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience—the essential qualities of individual liberty and dignity. Since FIRE’s founding in 1999, our efforts have won 385 victories on behalf of students and faculty members whose rights were unjustly denied at 250 colleges and universities, defeated 223 repressive speech codes thereby advancing freedom of expression for more than 3.5 million students, educated millions about the problem of censorship on campus, and spurred reforms across the entire California, Hawaii, and Wisconsin state university systems. Every day, FIRE receives pleas for help from students and faculty who have found themselves victims of administrative censorship or unjust punishments simply for speaking their minds.

  • Introduction in FOCUS: Revoicing the Screen
    IN FOCUS: Revoicing the Screen Introduction by TESSA DWYER and JENNIFER o’mEARA, editors he paradoxes engendered by voice on-screen are manifold. Screen voices both leverage and disrupt associations with agency, presence, immediacy, and intimacy. Concurrently, they institute artifice and distance, otherness and uncanniness. Screen voices are always, to an extent, disembodied, partial, and Tunstable, their technological mediation facilitating manipulation, remix, and even subterfuge. The audiovisual nature of screen media places voice in relation to— yet separate from—the image, creating gaps and connections between different sensory modes, techniques, and technologies, allowing for further disjunction and mismatch. These elusive dynamics of screen voices—whether on-screen or off-screen, in dialogue or voice-over, as soundtrack or audioscape— have already been much commented on and theorized by such no- tables as Rick Altman, Michel Chion, Rey Chow, Mary Ann Doane, Kaja Silverman, and Mikhail Yampolsky, among others.1 Focusing primarily on cinema, these scholars have made seminal contribu- tions to the very ways that film and screen media are conceptual- ized through their focus on voice, voice recording and mixing, and postsynchronization as fundamental filmmaking processes.

  • Traducción Entrevista Con Boots Riley
    Traducción entrevista con Boots Riley David Riu: Hola Boots encantando de hablar contigo otra vez, ¿cómo van las cosas por aquí en la bahía, en Oakland, California Boots Riley: Oh, en realidad las cosas van muy bien, estoy dejando mucho trabajo hecho. Debido al confinamiento, todos los proyectos que tenía retrasados los estoy acabando, también pasando tiempo con la familia. Me monto mi horario, hacer ejercicio, trabajo, la familia… nunca antes lo había podido tener. Normalmente siempre estaba trabajando, siempre ando liado con muchos proyectos, en realidad demasiados… pero luego cuando no hago nada, me preocupo por no estar haciendo nada. D: Sabes, al principio de este podcast estaba hablando, de cómo se están cancelando grandes conciertos, grandes eventos, pero esto no significa que la música vaya a desaparecer, y me ha venido a la cabeza lo que pasó en Sevilla con Antonio Saavedra, el cantante de flamenco, ¿te acuerdas? B: Sí, estábamos en el café, en Sevilla, él apareció, le “pillé” el ritmo cogí el móvil, y todo listo. Creo además, que se volvió viral y sonó en algunas radios. D: Así que crees que como están las cosas, es momento de volver a la música como algo más local, más de pequeño formato, no todo tienen que ser grandes eventos. Disfrutar de la música de todos modos, no necesitas tener 20mil personas a tu alrededor para ver un buen concierto o cualquier tipo de arte B: Creo que a estas alturas en realidad ya es así de alguna manera. Míralo de este punto de vista, en los 90’s necesitabas tener un contrato discográfico, al menos en los EEUU.

Mike Marsland/WireImage.com A judge granted Johnny Depp a motion today that would allow him to declare an oral contract he had with his former lawyers to be invalid. Depp’s attorneys first asked for the decision this past March, claiming that California requires written contracts for contingency fee agreements — the idea that a lawyer would get percentages of contract negotiations and other legal services, according to Deadline.

You have all been wonderful, with your time, help, suggestions, contributions. We thank each and every one of you! The perfect history is yet to be written. An editor cannot trust to myths, le- gends, or traditions, but must rely on facts. There are instances when even facts are clouded and obscure. All that remains is conjecture. In compiling this book research has been as thorough as conditions and time warrant. Oftentimes the facts are pinned down to the point of happening, true, authentic, statistical. But there are statements, dates, names, that are not this factual. The editors have sifted through yellowed papers, old records, for long, long hours. Family trees, interviews with aged citizens, and vari- ous other sources have been resorted to, to bring you this compiliation of Washington County history that began long before record-keeping was the precise thing it is today.
