How We Win

A Guide to Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigning

George Lakey

Seasoned activist and author of Viking Economics delivers a practical, implementable plan for growing your own non-violent movement.

The Women’s March of 21st January 2017 was estimated at four million people – the largest assembly of activist protest in U.S. history. Many of those assembled were in the streets for the first time, or returning after a period of inactivity.

Today’s new direct action campaigns require a new, down-to-earth guide to effective campaigning.

George Lakey’s How We Win is that timely guide.

Lakey sets out practical, step-by-step points to growing a non-violent movement, implementing a direct action campaign, and achieving your political goals. It discusses the lessons of successful historical campaigns, as well as today’s thrilling mass demonstrations, to reveal the anatomy behind successful movements.

Companions in Conflict

Animals in Occupied Palestine

Penny Johnson

For over three decades, Penny Johnson has lived in the West Bank, and now tells the story of life there through the animals who seek to survive and flourish in a land fragmented by human political action, most strikingly by half a century of military occupation.

We meet (among many others):

‘A short book with large implications, Companions in Conflict pulls off something rare: it illuminates a hidden corner of one of the world’s most media-saturated landcapes.’

Adam Shatz, London Review of Books

• Kojak, the last camel in Jerusalem, arrested by the Israeli police in 2011 for not having a permit.

• A herd of eighteen “illegal” Palestinian cows hunted down by Israeli soldiers as a security threat • The last remaining donkeys who represent the region’s vanishing rural tradition.

• Taxidermied zoo animals in “the worst zoo in the world,” who were either frightened to death

by Israeli explosive devices or left to starve during draconian curfews.

• A hyena in a wolf pack that becomes a symbol of Middle East peace.

Johnson explores what these animals’ lives and our encounters with them – whether in fear and aggression, through dominion and domestication, or with empathy and affection – tell us about the current state of Israel and Palestine.

No Human is Illegal

An Attorney on the Frontlines of the Immigration War

J.J. Mulligan Sepúlveda

J.J. Mulligan Sepúlveda’s No Human is Illegal documents the struggles and victories of fighting for those who want to call America home.

In gripping detail, Mulligan Sepúlveda recounts his early days on the immigration court circuit, his time as a volunteer lawyer at border detention centers, and volunteering at JFK during the Trump airport ban.

Mulligan Sepúlveda tells the story of those small non-profit firms representing undocumented immigrants in court, where unlike criminal court, they are not automatically assigned an attorney. In bridging the justice gap for immigrants and trying to limit the crisis of representation, this is where the smallest cases with the potential to turn into the sweeping legal decisions play out.

With initiatives like the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy that separates undocumented children from their parents, this has become a central issue of our time. It tests America’s very identity as a nation of immigrants being greeted by the statue of liberty. As the son and husband of Spanish-speaking immigrants, Mulligan Sepúlveda not only reveals the legal morass of immigration law, but also tells the story of a less painful time for new arrivals to this country through his mother’s journey to become an American.

The Climate Change Report

National Climate Assessment - Impact, Risks and Adaptation in The United States

U.S Global Change Research Program

The official US government’s Climate Assessment Report makes terrifying and essential reading for anyone interested in the future of our planet.

The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is mandated by law “at least every four years... to submit to the President and the Congress an assessment regarding the findings of... the effects of global change, and current and major long-term trends in global change.”

In 2018 the report was released in the wake of a series of some of the most devastating hurricanes in American history, as well as the horrific California wildfires. As the report says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”

‘The most sobering government analysis yet.’ The Guardian ‘The starkest warnings to date of the consequences of climate change for the United States.’ New York Times

Detailing not only the devastating impact of global warming on the environment, but health issues leading to tens of thousands of deaths per year, and economic losses of tens of billions of dollars, the report concludes that “The evidence of humancaused climate change is overwhelming and continues to strengthen, that the impacts of climate change are intensifying across the country, and that climate-related threats... are rising.”

Ursula K. Le Guin: The Last Interview Ursula K. Le Guin

An inspirational collection of interviews from legendary sci-fi and fantasy writer Ursula Le Guin, spanning forty years of her pioneering and prolific career.

When she began writing in the 1960s, Ursula K. Le Guin was as much of a literary outsider as one can be: she was a woman writing in a landscape dominated by men, she wrote genre at a time where it was dismissed as non-literary, and she lived out West, far from fashionable East coast literary circles.

‘One of the literary greats of the 20th century... her sane, committed, annoyed, humorous, wise and always intelligent voice is much needed now.’ Margaret Atwood ‘… the [Earthsea] trilogy made me look at the world in a new way... This was a magic of words, a magic of true speaking. I read everything I could by her, after that.’ Neil Gaiman

The interviews collected here – covering everything from her Berkeley childhood to her process of world-building; from her earliest experiments with genre to envisioning the end of capitalism – highlight that unique perspective, which conjured some of the most prescient and lasting books in modern literature.

Prince: The Last Interview Prince

A collection of the very first, the very last, and the very best interviews conducted with Prince over his nearly forty-year career.

There is perhaps no musician who has had as much influence on the sound of contemporary American music than Prince. His pioneering compositions brought a variety of musical genres into a singular funky and virtuosic sound. In this remarkable collection, and with his signature mix of seduction and demur, the late visionary reflects on his artistry.

Also available in the Last Interview series:

‘I’m a huge Prince fan... a commanding presence... a generous teacher.’ Beyoncé ‘Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly’ Barack Obama ‘Prince represents the inspiration of the moment, like an ode composed to capture a passing sensation.’

Julia Child: The Last Interview Julia Child

A delightful collection of interviews with the beloved Julia Child – star of The French Chef, author and television personality, who revolutionised home cooking in the 20th century.

American-born Julia Child wasn’t just a bestselling cookbook author and celebrating chef of French cuisine. Born in 1912, she died at the age of 92 and over the course of her extraordinary life, she was a television trailblazer, a breast cancer survivor and a government spy.

Her Last Interview collection traces her life from her first stab at a writing career fresh out of college; to D.C., Sri Lanka, and Kunming where she worked for the Office of Strategic Services (now the CIA); to Paris where she and her husband Paul, then a member of the State Department, lived after World War II, and where Child attended the famous cooking school Le Cordon Bleu.

‘This is my invariable advice to people: learn how to cook - try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!’

Julia Child

From there, Child catapulted to fame – first with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961 and the launch of her home cooking show, ‘The French Chef’ in 1963. In this volume of carefully selected interviews, Child’s charm, guile, and no-nonsense advice are on full, irresistibly delicious display.

The Forensics of Screenwriting

Hampton Fancher

A completely original guide to the screenwriter’s art – as only the writer of Blade Runner could conceive it.

In short paragraphs – oracular and enigmatic, hard-hitting and concrete – the man Forbes called a ‘creative genius’ writes a guide book like none other for the aspiring screenwriter. Learn how to write living, breathing characters, exciting action and plot, and develop your own artistic vision. And learn how to never compromise that vision, most importantly, with yourself. Advice includes: #4. Don’t just point to the thing in the window; go in the store. #5. Take us somewhere. Dangle a promise. A question to be resolved. An impending event.

The word impending derives from cliff, to hang.

Incidents, yes, but no incidentals.

‘The most interesting man in the world’ Vice ‘The creative genius behind Blade Runner’ Forbes ‘Always charismatic’ The New Yorker

#6. A decisive event. Try beginning with one. One that leads to an unexpected challenge to the protagonist. Sudden change. Something that can go either way, will concern us, make us care about what might happen next. The impending, the cliff.

But for that to become a dramatic option there must be circumstances that support it. Your job is to invent a destiny for these characters.

This Chair Rocks

A Manifesto Against Ageism

Ashton Applewhite

An empowering manifesto, examining and disassembling age discrimination with wit and energy, calling for us to embrace and celebrate ageing.

From childhood on, we’re barraged by messages that it’s sad to be old. That wrinkles are embarrassing, and old people are useless. Author and activist Ashton Applewhite believed them too— until she realised where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does.

‘A book we have been waiting for… blows up myths seven to a page like fireworks.’

Los Angeles Review of Books ‘Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me.’ Anne Lamott, New York Times best-selling author

Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces Applewhite’s journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-ageing radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. The book explains the roots of ageism—in history and in our own age denial—and how it divides and debases. It examines how ageist myths and stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of olders as burdens to society, describes what an all-agefriendly world would look like, and concludes with a rousing call to action.

Whether you’re older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life.

An arresting action plan for political resistance to the attention economy, arguing nothing can be quite so radical as‌ doing nothing.

Nothing is harder to do these days than nothing.

We find our every last minute captured, optimized, or appropriated as a financial resource for the technologies we use daily. We consume algorithmic versions of ourselves, submit our free time to numerical evaluation, and maintain personal brands in digital space.

Drawing on the ethos of tech culture, a background in the arts, and personal storytelling, Jenny Odell makes a powerful argument for refusal: refusal to believe that our lives are instruments to be optimized.

The Untold Story of Hemingway in Revolutionary Cuba

Andrew Feldman

A new look at Hemingway’s life in Cuba based on never seen before archives and interviews.

Ernest Hemingway first visited Cuba in 1928, and the experience would change the course of his entire life. He settled in Cojimar – a tiny fishing village east of Havana – in 1940 and came to think of himself as Cuban. What he discovered there, a new world counterpart to his beloved Spain, provided him the material for the novel that would rescue his uncertain career. The Old Man and the Sea won him a Pulitzer Prize and, one year later, resulted in the achievement of literature’s highest honour – the Nobel Prize. Hemingway announced to the press that he had won the prize ‘as a citizen of Cojimar.’

Andrew Feldman here uses his unprecedented access to newly available archives to tell the full story of Hemingway’s Cubanness: his friendships with Cojimar fishermen, his adoptive Cuban family, the strong influences on his work by Cuban writers, his connections to Cuban political figures and celebrities. In Cuba he formed key artistic relationships—including a longstanding affair with a previously undiscovered Cuban lover, Leopoldina Roderiguez.

This is the Hemingway story that has never been told: the full story of Papa as an expatriate in Cuba.

Digital Civil War

Confronting the Far-Right Menace

Peter Daou

The far right’s rise to power has ignited a digital civil war in America that rages across multiple fronts and multiple platforms.

It is waged with words and images that are designed to inflict psychological harm, to injure through verbal violence, to intimidate and incite, to wreak havoc with rhetoric. The combatants are citizens, activists, politicians, pundits, coders, conspiracists, trolls, agitators, hackers and journalists. At stake are bedrock principles: equal rights, fair elections, freedom of speech, racial justice and the rule of law.

In Digital Civil War, Peter Daou, a veteran digital media adviser to major political figures, provides a first-hand account from the war’s front lines. He explains that the unceasing toxicity of social media – often treated as an aberration – is a feature, not a bug, of digital warfare.

Daou cuts through the digital fog to ask questions such as: what are each faction’s main lines of attack and defence on immigration, race, guns, abortion, and other political and cultural flashpoints? How do we filter the noise of digital debate to get to the crux of the major disputes? How can we discern which side is right and wrong when truth and facts are under fire?

From there, deep in the woods of the Northwest, comes an explosive portrayal of teenage life from the perspective of The Bad Friend, and a poignant reflection that refuses the traditional recovery arc.

Like Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar and Cat Marnell’s How to Murder Your Life, Juliet the Maniac offers no clear answers, no definitive finish line, just the wise acceptance of the challenges ahead.

With equal parts humour and heartbreak, these interweaving narratives solidify Boucher’s place among ground-breaking surrealists like Donald Barthelme, Karen Russell and George Saunders.

In each section, Boucher carries his readers into uncharted and moving new territory.

NON-FICTION - JUNE 2019

Strange Stars

David Bowie, Pop Music and the Decade Sci-Fi Exploded

Jason Heller

Exploring the massive influence that science fiction has had on popular music, particularly on David Bowie and the heady, experimental 1970s scene.

As the 1960s drew to a close, and mankind trained its telescopes on other worlds, old conventions gave way to a new kind of hedonistic freedom that celebrated sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Derided as nerdy or dismissed as fluff, science fiction rarely gets credit for its catalysing effect on this revolution.

‘An exhaustive, entertaining primer which opens up multiple avenues for interstellar exploration across several media.’ Wire ‘An impressive guide for anyone who wants to explore the ear-tingling sci-fi pop of the turbulent 1970s.’

Starburst

In Strange Stars, Jason Heller recasts sci-fi and pop music as parallel cultural forces that depended on one another to expand the horizons of books, music, and out-of-this-world imagery. In doing so, he presents a whole generation of revered musicians as the sci-fi-obsessed conjurers they really were: from Sun Ra lecturing on the black man in the cosmos, to Pink Floyd jamming live over the broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing; from a wave of Star Wars disco chart toppers and synthesiser-wielding post-punks, to Jimi Hendrix distilling the “purplish haze” he discovered in a pulp novel into psychedelic song. Of course, the whole scene was led by David Bowie, who hid in the balcony of a movie theatre to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, and came out a changed man...

Newly in paperback, Strange Stars brings to life an era of unparalleled and unearthly creativity.
