      The Sami, who have inhabited Europe's far north for thousands of years, are often referred to as the continent's "forgotten people." With their traditional homeland, divided between four nation-states--Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia--the Sápmi have experienced the profound oppression and discrimination that characterize the fate of indigenous people worldwide: their lands have been confiscated, their beliefs and values attacked, their communities and families torn apart. Yet the Sápmi have shown incredible resilience, defending their identity and their territories and retaining an important social and ecological voice--even if many, progressives and leftists included, refuse to listen. Liberating Sápmi is a stunning journey through Sápmi and includes in-depth interviews with Sápmi artists, activists, and scholars boldly standing up for the rights of their people

      The first comprehensive collection of Gustav Landauer's writings in English, this valuable addition to the history of anarchism in the early 20th century gathers more than 40 influential works by one of Germany's most prominent radical agitators. The readings presented here cover Landauer's entire political biography, from his early anarchism of the 1890s and his philosophical reflections at the turn of the century to the subsequent establishment of the Socialist Bund and his tireless agitation against the coming Great War. Additional chapters on war and nationalism, the United States and Mexico, and opinion pieces and personal letters reveal the further scope of Landauer's thinking with pieces on corporate capital, education, language, and Judaism.

Professionalism and commercialisation dominate its global image. Yet the game retains a rebellious side, maybe more so than any other sport co-opted by money-makers and corrupt politicians.

      From the workers' sports movement in the early 20th century, to the civil rights struggle transforming sports in the 1960s, to the current global network of grassroots sports clubs, there has been a growing desire to include sport in the struggle for liberation and social justice. It is a struggle that has produced larger-than-life figures like Muhammad Ali and iconic images such as the Black Power salute by Tommie Smith at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. With the help of over a hundred full-colour illustrations, this book brings to life the history of sports activism.

      Examining the multigenerational impact of punk rock music, this international survey of the political-punk straight edge movement—which has persisted as a drug-free, hardcore subculture for more than 25 years—traces its history from 1980s Washington, DC, to today. Asserting that drugs are not necessarily rebellious and that not all rebels do them, the record also defies common conceptions of straight edge's political legacy as being associated with self-righteous, macho posturing and conservative Puritanism. On the contrary, the movement has been linked to radical thought and action by the countless individuals, bands, and entire scenes profiled throughout the discussion. Lively and exhaustive, this dynamic overview includes contributions from famed straight edge punk rockers Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi, Dennis Lyxzén of Refused and the International Noise Conspiracy, and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy; legendary bands ManLiftingBanner and Point of No Return; radical collectives such as CrimethInc. and Alpine Anarchist Productions; and numerous other artists and activists dedicated as much to sober living as to the fight for a better world.

      Dissecting the conflicting views of the golden age of pirates—as romanticized villains on one hand and genuine social rebels on the other—this fascinating chronicle explores the political and cultural significance of these nomadic outlaws by examining a wide range of ethnographical, sociological, and philosophical standards. The meanings of race, gender, sexuality, and disability in pirate communities are analyzed and contextualized, as are the pirates' forms of organization, economy, and ethics. Going beyond simple swashbuckling adventures, the examination also discusses the pirates' self-organization, the internal make-up of the crews, and their early-1700s philosophies—all of which help explain who they were and what they truly wanted. Asserting that pirates came in all shapes, sexes, and sizes, this engaging study ultimately portrays pirates not just as mere thieves and killers but as radical activists with their own society and moral code fighting against an empire.

      Eine Analyse drogenfreier Hardcore-Punk-Kultur. Straight Edge entstand Anfang der 1980er Jahre als eine drogenfreie Subkultur innerhalb der Hardcore-Punk-Szene. Bald entwickelte sich daraus eine Bewegung, die sich auf alle Kontinente ausdehnte. 1981 schrieb Ian MacKaye, damals Sänger der Washington-D. C.-Hardcore-Band Minor Threat, den Song „Straight Edge“, um seinen Verzicht auf Alkohol-, Nikotin- und Drogenkonsum innerhalb der Hardcore-Punk-Szene zu verteidigen. Er initiierte damit – gegen seine ausdrücklichen Intentionen – eine Bewegung, die bis heute eine fixe Größe in der Welt des Hardcore-Punk darstellt. Dieses Buch zeichnet die Geschichte der Straight-Edge-Bewegung nach: von den Anfängen in Washington, D. C. über die sogenannten Youth-Crew-Bands der späten 1980er Jahre und die Vegan-Straight-Edge-Bewegung der 1990er bis hin zu der vielfältigen Straight-Edge-Kultur der Gegenwart. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der ambivalenten politischen Dimensionen der Bewegung, die seit jeher zwischen konservativem Puritanismus und linksradikalem Aktivismus pendeln. Analysiert werden unter anderem die Rolle von Geschlecht, Sexualität, Kapitalismus/Konsumkultur, Tierrechten, Naturschutz und Religion innerhalb der Straight-Edge-Szene.

    • Die Proteste gegen das Treffen der Welthandelsorganisation in Seattle 1999 übten wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung gegenwärtiger US-amerikanischer Widerstandskultur aus. Ein bemerkenswerter Aspekt dieser Entwicklung ist das Wiedererstarken einer anarchistischen Bewegung, die heute zu einem großen Teil die politische Dissidenz des Landes definiert. Der vorliegende Band präsentiert diese Bewegung anhand neunzehn individuell eingeleiteter und kommentierter Texte. Die Texte verbinden die Präsentation einflussreicher AutorInnen (Lorenzo Komboa Ervin, David Graeber, John Zerzan, Starhawk, Ward Churchill), Kollektive (CrimethInc., NEFAC, ALF/ELF) und Konzepte (Black Anarchism, Primitivismus, post-linke Anarchie, Postanarchismus, Freeganism) mit Darstellungen anarchistischer Alltagskultur (Evasion, Sascha Scatters Nachruf auf Brad Will) sowie Diskussionen um die Renaissance des Schwarzen Blocks (ACME-Kollektiv), Machoattitüden innerhalb der anarchistischen Szene (Rock-Bloc-Kollektiv), Segregationsprobleme sozialer Bewegungen (Elizabeth Martinez) und anarchistische Ökonomie (Michael Albert). Ein allgemeiner Einführungstext zur Geschichte des Anarchismus in den USA eröffnet den Band.

    • Tier-Werden, Schwarz-Werden, Frau-Werden richtet sich in politischer Absicht vor allem an Aktivist/innen und Wissenschaftler/innen in linken und linksradikalen Zusammenhängen. Es sieht sich als Handbuch, das Hilfestellung leisten will zum Verständnis poststrukturalistischer Theorienbildung und ihrer revolutionären Potentiale, sowie zur Entfaltung eigener revolutionärer Theorie und Praxis. Das Buch ist wesentlich darum bemüht, das oft als schwer zugänglich beschriebene poststrukturalistische Theoriengebäude zugänglicher zu machen, ohne es dabei zu trivialisieren. Einer spezifischeren Auseinandersetzung mit den explizit politischen Dimensionen poststrukturalistischen Denkens ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit seinen allgemeineren theoretischen Grundlagen vorangestellt. Die Einführung eignet sich so für alle, die an poststrukturalistischer Theorie Interesse pflegen und nach einer Einstiegshilfe in poststrukturalistische Theorienbildung suchen.
