The Know-It-Alls

The Rise of Silicon Valley as a Political Powerhouse and Social Wrecking Ball

NOAM COHEN

REVISED and UPDATED WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR

NOW IN PAPERBACK FROM THE FORMER NEW YORK TIMES TECHNOLOGY REPORTER, “AN ENLIGHTENING BREAKDOWN OF HOW SILICON VALLEY BILLIONAIRES HAVE SHIFTED THE POPULAR DISCOURSE IN THEIR FAVOR” ( KIRKUS REVIEWS )

An important book on the pervasive influence of Silicon Valley on our economy, culture and politics.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Hailed as “a valuable addition” and a “Top Tech Book” by Wired.com, The Know-It-Alls offers a prescient chronicle of the rise of Silicon Valley as a political and intellectual force. Showcasing this new class of super geeks, former New York Times technology reporter Noam Cohen sketches “finely researched portraits” (Nature) of the smart guys, including Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Mark Zuckerberg, who fell in love with a radically individualistic, anti-government ideal—and then mainstreamed it.

Now, in this completely revised and updated edition, published one year after DOGE came to town, Cohen shows how the know-it-alls came to Washington, providing a richly documented account of how their influence has metastasized, their wealth has exploded, and their technologies have frayed America’s social and political fabric. The know-it-alls claim that they support Trump because the Democrats abandoned them; Cohen reveals that Trump gave them the political opening they’d been waiting for all along.

From the decisive influence of the pandemic to the emergence of Elon Musk as a national political force and the appearance of new characters and technologies, Cohen’s “unabashed critique” (Library Journal) is the essential guide to the real power players on today’s political scene.

Noam Cohen covered the influence of the internet for The New York Times, where he wrote the “Link by Link” column. He is a regular contributor to major national magazines including The Atlantic, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, and more. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

A terrific case study of some of the unreckoned costs of the digital revolution, and how one piece of the American idea threatens to overwhelm the others.

A look at more than fifty years of educational history, with lessons for all of us.

—DAVE

ZIRIN, AUTHOR OF THE KAEPERNICK EFFECT AND SPORTS EDITOR FOR THE NATION

In 1972, thirty-seven words quietly entered federal law and ignited a revolution: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Title IX redefined what was possible for women and girls in America’s schools— from access to classrooms and sports fields to protection from sexual harassment and assault. In Fifty Years of Title IX, a book The Washington Monthly calls “an impressive feat,” award-winning journalist Sherry Boschert traces the dramatic story of how this pivotal law came to be, how it has evolved, and why it remains a powerful—and contested—force in the struggle for gender justice.

Through meticulous reporting, Boschert introduces readers to the trailblazers behind the law and the generations who have demanded that its promises be fulfilled. Called “inspiring” by Publishers Weekly, Fifty Years of Title IX “puts a human face” (Library Journal) on the fight for gender equity.

In a book Lucy Jane Bledsoe, author of No Stopping Us Now, calls “really important,” Boschert provides “a road map for what it will take to go forward.”

Sherry Boschert is an award-winning journalist and the author of Plug-in Hybrids. Among her many honors, she received a Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for her efforts to promote equity within the news industry. She lives in New Hampshire.

Equal Means Equal

The Case for Recognizing the ERA as the 28th Amendment revised and updated

JESSICA NEUWIRTH

WITH A FOREWORD BY GLORIA STEINEM

PAPERBACK A TENTH-ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE BOOK THAT FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN CAROLYN MALONEY SAYS “CLEARLY AND ELOQUENTLY LAYS OUT THE ISSUES AT STAKE” —FROM THE FOUNDER OF THE ERA COALITION

Equal Means Equal clearly articulates why we still need the ERA. It’s high time we put women into the Constitution once and for all.

—MERYL STREEP

When the Equal Rights Amendment passed Congress in 1972, Richard Nixon was president, and All in the Family’s Archie Bunker was telling his wife Edith to “stifle it.” Over the next decade, a groundswell of support led to ratification by thirty-five states—just three short of the thirty-eight needed. With the original publication of Equal Means Equal ten years ago, a new ERA Coalition emerged, uniting the wisdom of veteran activists with the digital savvy and momentum of a new generation.

Now, thirty-eight states have ratified the ERA, it has met all the constitutional requirements for an amendment, and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Senator Lisa Murkowski have introduced a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to have the ERA become part of the Constitution; yet, due to a disputed deadline for ratification, the Amendment still has not been formally recognized. In this fully revised and updated tenth-anniversary edition, Jessica Neuwirth—founder and former president of the ERA Coalition—explains the current state of the Amendment and lays out the ever greater need for the Amendment through powerful contemporary legal cases and real-world examples.

In this “vital primer” (Kansas City Star), endorsed by Jimmy Carter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, along with many others, Jessica Neuwirth makes the case “that ratification is the right thing to do” (Kirkus Reviews).

Jessica Neuwirth is a co-founder and former president of the ERA Coalition. She is the Rita E. Hauser Director of the Human Rights Program at Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute / Hunter College. Gloria Steinem is an American feminist, journalist, and social and political activist. They both live in New York City.

This book makes an eloquent and compelling case for an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Most countries in the world already have constitutional sex equality provisions. This is a fundamental human rights issue, and the American women and men working for the ERA have my wholehearted support.

Education

Heartbreaking yet hopeful, Pushed to the Edge is a powerful revelation of the war taking place against public school teachers and their students.

—JOANNE TOMPKINS,

AUTHOR OF WHAT COMES AFTER

When the Proud Boys stormed a library near her former school to disrupt a Drag Queen Story Hour, veteran public school teacher Sue Granzella knew she had to respond. Drawing on more than thirty years in the classroom, she began documenting the stories of fellow educators and librarians across California who have been harassed and threatened for teaching honestly about race, gender, immigration, religion, and sexuality. Many would be surprised to hear that it’s happening in California, the state long considered the haven of liberals and the pinnacle of acceptance and tolerance.

Pushed to the Edge is a powerful and timely collection of first-person accounts from the front lines of today’s escalating culture wars. Cassandra, a young, queer woman of color and an award-winning teacher, was shattered by homophobia and viciously emboldened parents and was ultimately forced to leave the job she’d dreamed of since kindergarten. In Temecula, educators mobilized their community to try to overthrow the Christian nationalist school board determined to eliminate the teaching of Black history. While rooted in California, the book’s insights and urgency resonate nationwide—offering both a sobering view of what’s at stake in our schools and our libraries and a hopeful testament to those who refuse to back down.

Sue Granzella is a writer and a long-time public school teacher in the East Bay of San Francisco. Her writing has appeared in over forty journals and anthologies, including Masters Review, Full Grown People, Hippocampus, and Ascent. This is her first book.

It’s Not Just You

How to Navigate Eco-Anxiety and the Climate Crisis

TORI TSUI

WITH A FOREWORD BY LEAH THOMAS

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL A TIMELY EDITION OF THE WINNER OF THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE ON WRITING AND GLOBAL CONSERVATION, WITH A FOREWORD FROM TIME100 NEXT CLIMATE ACTIVIST LEAH THOMAS

Tori Tsui is changing the conversation around mental health and the climate crisis. —VOGUE

For anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the climate crisis—you’re not alone. In It’s Not Just You, activist and mental health advocate Tori Tsui takes readers on a powerful journey through the emotional terrain of climate grief, anxiety, and burnout. Combining memoir, intersectional analysis, and activist storytelling, Tsui, named a Stella McCartney Agent of Change, redefines eco-anxiety as not just a personal response to planetary crisis, but a political and communal condition rooted in systems of oppression—racism, colonialism, capitalism, and ableism.

With clarity and heart, Tsui traces her lived experience as a queer woman of color navigating mental illness and activism on a global scale, from sailing across the Atlantic for a climate summit to finding healing with Indigenous communities in Colombia. Alongside personal reflections, she amplifies the voices of marginalized organizers, critiques the commodification of wellness, and insists that true climate action must also be mental health care. By refusing simplistic fixes, It’s Not Just You insists on justice, solidarity, and radical care as the antidotes to our present-day despair.

Whether you’re just learning the term “eco-anxiety” or you’ve been carrying it for years, Tsui offers validation, perspective, and most of all, community. Along with a foreword by Leah Thomas, named to the Ebony Power 100, Tsui reminds readers that they are most resilient when they lean on—and learn from—each other.

Tori Tsui is a senior advisor for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and a campaigner for the Stop Rosebank coalition. She lives in Bristol, UK. Leah Thomas is an environmental activist, eco-communicator, and author of The Intersectional Environmentalist. Her articles on this topic have appeared in Vogue and Elle. She lives in Los Angeles, California.

Praise for the UK Edition: The world is in desperate need of this book.

—GRETA THURNBERG

Tori Tsui’s voice is vital. It’s Not Just You is a necessary, nuanced and timely exploration of eco-anxiety that consistently reminds us what this fight is truly about: collective liberation and collective care. It’s Not Just You is a galvanizing breath of fresh air.

I

consider [Marom] one of the most generous and important thinkers for the activist left, for anyone who cares about where we are and how to get to where we should be. I am so excited for this book.

—REBECCA SOLNIT

When Yotam Marom looks back on the Occupy Wall Street movement—where he played a central role—he often finds despair. They fought so fiercely, but they lost; and now, in 2025, here they are amid allies fighting against racial injustice, climate change, and a rising authoritarianism, losing still. But Marom sees a way out, by first acknowledging that despair is the most sinister killer of movements, and our greatest enemy—because when we despair, we stop fighting.

Born out of that despair and forged in this conviction is Marom’s For Louder Days, a brilliant, lyrical, clarion cry for a clearer, more powerful, and more efficacious approach to progressive activism, grounded in hard-won lessons drawn from years of work with Occupy, the Sunrise Movement, multiracial organizing, and beyond. A nationally recognized strategist, Marom dives deep into the challenges that hold movements back, revealing how embracing hard truths and healthy conflict can unlock the potential for real and enduring change.

Published at the most perilous moment in our modern political history, For Louder Days comes not a moment too soon. If the opposition is to hold back the tide of oppression and violence, it must first overcome its internal demons—and more than any other thinker writing today, Yotam Marom shows how that can be done.

Yotam Marom was the founding director of the Wildfire Project, a training organization for grassroots organizing groups, from some of the leading racial justice and climate organizations in the U.S., to youth in Israel and Palestine, to some of the biggest movement moments of the past decade. Yotam was a leader at Occupy Wall Street, is a founding member of IfNotNow, and has initiated mobilizations and direct actions across issues, from immigration to climate justice and more.

Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else?

Playing Offense in the Fight for Racial Justice in America

STEVE PHILLIPS

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BROWN IS THE NEW WHITE , AN EXPLOSIVE NEW ARGUMENT FOR DRAINING THE SWAMP OF WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE

Steve Phillips has been far ahead of the curve in understanding not only where America is but what America will be.

—NEERA

TANDEN, PRESIDENT, CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS

We are witnessing an attack on equal rights in America unparalleled since the collapse of Reconstruction. In the tradition of his New York Times and Washington Post bestseller Brown Is the New White and his “spirited and persuasive” (Publishers Weekly) How We Win the Civil War, Steve Phillips’s goal is nothing less than to exhort people to go on the offensive in the fight for racial justice in this country—to flip the script from the underrepresentation of people of color to the overrepresentation of white men.

In twelve short, animated chapters covering the fields of business, arts and entertainment, government, higher education, philanthropy, and democracy itself, Phillips shows how Straight White American Male Preference (or S.W.A.M.P.) has come roaring out of the shadows once again. Far from being a country where white men have suffered under so-called reverse racism, Phillips reveals America to be a place where white men—a minority population—have enjoyed unfair legal advantages, racial quotas, grade inflation, and jumping the line for public benefits.

Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else? calls for nothing less than draining the swamp of white male privilege. Fearless, funny, and deeply researched, this muchneeded corrective offers equality-loving readers the arguments and energy they need to launch a new counterattack.

Steve Phillips is the author of the bestselling Brown Is the New White and How We Win the Civil War (both from The New Press) and the host of Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips, a color-conscious podcast on politics. He is a regular columnist for The Nation and The Guardian and lives in San Francisco.

The Sacred Art of Teaching

The Delpit/Emdin Conversations

LISA DELPIT and CHRISTOPHER EMDIN

AN UNPRECEDENTED, NO-HOLDS- BARRED SET OF DIALOGUES ABOUT RACE AND EDUCATION FROM TWO OF THE COUNTRY’S BEST- KNOWN EDUCATORS

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.

—TRUMAN CAPOTE

The Sacred Art of Teaching is that rare thing: two intelligent talkers in conversation. Lisa Delpit was one of the first educators to receive a MacArthur “genius” grant. Her book Other People’s Children is a classic in the field, and she has been called “a visionary scholar and reformer” by the Harvard Education School, which featured Delpit in its Centennial celebration and awarded her an outstanding alumni award. Chris Emdin is an award-winning educator whose book For White People Who Teach in the Hood . . . and the Rest of Y’all Too was a national bestseller. He is the creator of the HipHopEd social media movement and has been named one of The Root’s 100 Most Influential African Americans and one of twenty-seven people bridging divides in the United States by Time magazine.

In this powerful and deeply personal volume, these two educators, generations apart but united by a shared commitment to transformative education, compare notes for the first time. Readers are treated to candid exchanges on topics including the role of art in education, students and politics, how educators of color can navigate the academy, specific approaches to pedagogy, the role of rap in education, and how spirituality informs their work. With honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom, they reflect on their own journeys into education, the challenges they’ve faced, and the strategies they’ve developed to uphold equity and justice in a system too often resistant to both. These conversations are not only intellectually rich but emotionally resonant, offering a model of mentorship, mutual respect, and the power of dialogue across difference.

A gift to teachers, scholars, and anyone passionate about reimagining public education, this book is a lasting contribution to the field—one that will inspire readers for generations to come.

SAN FRANCISCO REVIEW OF BOOKS

Since its original publication, education professor Lisa Delpit’s Other People’s Children has become a foundational text in the struggle for equity in education. Drawing on her experience as a teacher, researcher, and Black woman navigating predominantly white institutions, the MacArthur “genius” grant-winning educator Delpit offers a searing critique of how power and race operate in the classroom—and how well-intentioned educators often fail the students they most want to help.

Delpit’s central insight—that academic struggles among children of color often result from cultural miscommunication, not lack of ability—has transformed the thinking of teachers, administrators, and teacher educators nationwide. With over 300,000 copies sold and awards including the American Educational Studies Association Critics’ Choice and Choice magazine’s Outstanding Academic Book, this classic continues to shape educational conversations across the country.

A must-read for anyone committed to building more equitable classrooms, Other People’s Children remains as timely, necessary, and illuminating as ever.

History

(Previous edition: 978-1-56584-712-5)

At a time when the media would have one believe that the typical New Yorker is a young professional or dot-com millionaire, [Working Class New York] places labor where it belongs—at the center of the city’s recent history.

—ERIC FONER, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS

Now more than ever, as a new generation of organizers and elected officials push for housing justice, fare-free transit, and a reinvigorated labor movement, the story of New York’s working-class past offers urgent lessons and vital hope. In the decades after World War II, New York City forged a bold path toward equity. Led by a powerful labor movement, it became a national model of liberal possibility: accessible public transit, union jobs with strong wages and benefits, affordable housing, and public healthcare.

Hailed as an “absorbing and beautifully detailed history” by Publishers Weekly, historian Joshua Freeman’s groundbreaking book tells the story of how that vision took root—and how it unraveled. From the Red Scare’s dismantling of labor leadership to the power grabs of the 1970s fiscal crisis, Working-Class New York traces the rise and fall of an urban dream.

This edition features a new introduction by the author reflecting on the book’s enduring relevance in today’s political landscape—where renewed labor action, democratic socialism, and tenant power movements are once again reshaping the city. A landmark in American social and political history, Working-Class New York tells the story of a city remade by its working class—and is a reminder, in a moment of renewed struggle, that a different future is still possible.

Joshua B. Freeman is a distinguished professor of history at Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He is the author of American Empire 1945–2000 and In Transit, a co-author of Who Built America?, and a co-editor of Audacious Democracy. He lives in New York City.

From Dictatorship to Democracy

A Conceptual Framework for Liberation

GENE SHARP

PAPERBACK A CLASSIC OF POLITICAL RESISTANCE BY “THE MAN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD” ( THE BOSTON GLOBE )—REPACKAGED FOR A NEW GENERATION RISING AGAINST AUTHORITARIANISM

Not since Machiavelli has a book had such impact in shifting the balance of power.

THE TIMES (LONDON)

For decades, Gene Sharp’s From Dictatorship to Democracy has been a lifeline for movements seeking to challenge oppressive regimes without violence. The subject of a June 2025 column by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times regarding the contemporary relevance of Sharp’s ideas, the book has been quietly circulated by dissidents and organizers, translated into more than thirty languages, and used in uprisings from Serbia and Ukraine to Egypt and Venezuela.

Now available in a newly repackaged edition, From Dictatorship to Democracy speaks to the present moment. As authoritarianism gains ground globally and democratic institutions are threatened at home, a new generation of activists is looking for proven tools—not just inspiration, but instruction. With extraordinary clarity, Sharp lays out 198 methods of nonviolent resistance, from boycotts and strikes to symbolic protests and civil disobedience, adaptable to almost any political context.

This timeless and tactical handbook is both a field guide for organizing and a philosophical call to action and has been “hailed as the manual by those who conducted people-power coups” (The Christian Science Monitor). As movements today grow increasingly global, decentralized, and creative, From Dictatorship to Democracy remains essential reading—empowering a new wave of resistance with hard-earned insights from those who’ve come before.

Gene Sharp (1928–2018) advised governments and resistance movements around the world and was considered the most influential promoter of nonviolent resistance to autocratic governments. He was a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and the founder of the Albert Einstein Institution, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the study of nonviolent action.

Few Americans have heard of Dr. Sharp. But for decades, his practical writings on nonviolent revolution—most notably [his] guide to toppling autocrats— have inspired dissidents around the world.

A Bite-Sized History of Italy

Gastronomic Tales of the Roman Empire, Renaissance, and Republic

DANIELLE CALLEGARI

A COMPELLING EXPLORATION OF THE RICH TAPESTRY OF ITALIAN FOOD HISTORY AND CULTURE, BY THE CO-HOST OF THE TOP- RANKED GOLA FOOD AND WINE PODCAST

Italian cuisine isn’t about rigid technique. It’s about seasonality, respect, memory. Those principles translate everywhere.

—MASSIMO BOTTURA, ITALIAN CHEF AND AUTHOR OF NEVER TRUST A SKINNY ITALIAN CHEF

While Italy has existed as a nation-state only since 1861, a distinctly Italian identity had been simmering for centuries, nourished by a shared culinary culture. From the dormice and garum of the Roman Empire to the heresy of pineapple pizza, A BiteSized History of Italy traces this legacy, offering a delicious romp through millennia of culinary tradition and transformation.

Danielle Callegari, co-host of the Gola podcast, guides readers on a spirited tour through the kitchens, vineyards, city squares, and coastal ports of the iconic peninsula, offering an intimate portrait of a place so famous for its food it nearly defies interrogation—even as it might be said that food is the very reason for its existence.

With boundless energy and a fearless palate, Callegari explores beloved staples—pizza, pasta, parmigiano—alongside the unsung flavors that shaped Italian identity: legumes, wild herbs, game birds, spices, and the contributions of Jewish and other minority communities. She reveals how Italy’s rise as Europe’s gastronomic heart is rooted in religious customs, class dynamics, and the echoes of empire, as well as how food became a language of both unity and division.

Through stories of what was eaten, and by whom, A Bite-Sized History of Italy offers a glimpse of the making of Italy itself—a nation defined, defended, and devoured around the table.

Danielle Callegari is an associate professor of Italian at Dartmouth College, writer at large for Wine Enthusiast, and co-host of the Italian food and beverage podcast Gola She is the author of Dante’s Gluttons and lives between Hanover, New Hampshire, and Rome, Italy.

A very cool book about the intersections of food and history.

A SMART AND ACCESSIBLE DISSECTION OF TWENTY-FIRST- CENTURY FASCIST POLITICS, PROVIDING GENERAL READERS WITH THE TOOLS TO UNDERSTAND, AND DEFEAT, TODAY’S RESURGENT FAR RIGHT

Praise for David Ost’s The Defeat of Solidarity:

Ost’s book is personal . . . the work of a man who once saw Solidarity as a possible inspiration for the Western Left, and who has now come to see it rather as a cautionary tale of globalization. Indeed, the argument seems relevant in an American context, where the conservative voting of patriotic workers is a cause of distress on the Left, and perhaps dangerous to democracy.

For years now, the political right has been doing everything to make fascism unexceptional, imaginable, and part of everyday life.

—DAVID OST

At a time of political upheaval, noted political scientist David Ost offers a bold and original take on the question on so many Americans’ minds: Is the right-wing populist movement we are seeing in the U.S. (and around the world) the harbinger of a new era of fascism?

Ost’s answer borrows the term embraced by today’s “hipster” Radical Right, from the cult film The Matrix: Red Pill. Pulling back the historical lens, Ost argues that both right-wing populism and fascism (of the Nazi variety) are branches of the same red pill tree. Right wing populism has gained support, ironically, precisely by disowning its fascist pedigree, by arguing that it will not lead us down a road to Hitler—though that possibility, Ost shows, is always present. Drawing on a wide range of compelling contemporary and historical examples, Ost shows that while red pill politics exhibits many features of classical fascism, contemporary far-right parties have won power not through violence and mass repression, but through anti-elite, populist rhetoric and elections. That, Ost, argues, is the source both of red pill’s widespread popularity and its insidious, long-term danger to the world’s democracies.

Understanding the past and present of red pill politics, Ost argues, is the key to facing it head-on. This accessible and enormously important book is a vital tool for that effort.

David Ost is the former Joseph DiGangi Professor of Political Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. His previous books include Solidarity and the Politics of Anti-Politics, Workers After Workers’ States, and The Defeat of Solidarity. He also publishes articles in The Nation, Dissent, and Tikkun. He lives in New York.

A

REMARKABLE NEW VOICE FROM SUDAN

Stunning. . . . Mamoun reaches straight into the heartbeat of her subject matter, laying bare humanity in all its tenderness and tenacity.

—LEILA ABOULELA, AUTHOR OF ELSEWHERE HOME

A young girl grows jealous of her mother’s lemon tree, which may be more sentient than she knows. A college student confronts tragedies past and present when police attack a university protest. A lawyer desperately searches the city for a woman claiming to have been sent from the Hereafter.

In her second collection of stories after Thirteen Months of Sunrise, a finalist for the 2020 Warwick Prize for Women in Translation, the unique voice of Sudanese writer and poet Rania Mamoun is on full display. Under the Neem Tree, her first work to be published in the United States, now in a wonderful translation by Elisabeth Jaquette, is a powerful and intimate collection that blends fiction with memoir to create a rich, multifaceted portrait of Sudanese women—one with a magical edge.

From unexpected love to political defiance, Mamoun brings tenderness and a poetic sensibility to tales of human connection. Grounded in the reality of life and politics in Sudan, while also laced with elements of the surreal and uncanny, these twelve stories will be embraced by fans of Claire Keegan and Marie NDiaye and by English-language readers eager for emotionally intimate characters, deeply human stories, and a striking, unique voice.

Rania Mamoun is a Sudanese activist and writer of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. She has been a Writer in Residence at the City of Asylum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, since 2019. Elisabeth Jaquette is a translator from Arabic and the executive director of Words Without Borders.

A phenomenal, exacting collection . . . [from] an extraordinary talent.

Provides an invaluable public service, as the judicial branch is perpetually shrouded in mystery.

—JUSTIN DRIVER, THE WASHINGTON POST

Prosecutors and defense attorneys have it easy—all they have to do is to present the evidence and make arguments. It’s the judges who have the heavy lift: They are the ones who have to make the ultimate decisions, many of which have profound consequences for the lives of the people standing in front of them. In Tough Cases, a remarkable group of judges—from family court to tribal court to the federal bench—pull back the curtain on the most challenging cases of their careers, sharing what it means to bear the weight of justice in cases that shape lives and ignite national debate.

These compelling narratives include landmark rulings such as the Elián González custody case, the emotionally charged Terri Schiavo right-to-die battle, and the prosecution of Scooter Libby. Others unfold far from the public eye but are no less consequential: a tribal court judge navigating cultural tensions, a newly appointed jurist grappling with identity and authority, and a chilling case involving a mother who killed her own children.

Relatively few judges have publicly shared the thought processes behind their decision making. Tough Cases makes for “unprecedented” (Greta van Sustren) reading for everyone from armchair attorneys to those actively involved in the legal profession who want insight into the people judging their work.

FOLLOWING ON THE SUCCESS OF TOUGH CASES , CALLED “A LAW BUFF’S DREAM” BY HEADBUTLER .COM, THIS COMPANION VOLUME COLLECTS JUDGES’ FIRSTHAND STORIES OF DECIDING CASES WHEN THE WORLD IS WATCHING

A unique and hard-to-put-down title for anyone interested in America’s judicial system.

LIBRARY JOURNAL STARRED REVIEW OF TOUGH CASES

Most cases that judges decide garner little public attention. But occasionally, a case is tried both in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion. In Challenging Cases, some of the country’s leading jurists talk about the most challenging cases they’ve handled—ones where the eyes of the world were upon them.

Whether the defendant was a beloved major league baseball player, a movie star, or a well-known sex-offender, or the topic addressed an especially contentious aspect of the culture wars, these cases played out before millions of onlookers, adding a whole new dimension to what is already a Solomonic responsibility.

In Challenging Cases, over a dozen judges from courts in DC, Texas, Seattle, Michigan, Maine, Buffalo, Virginia, and more speak to the added challenge of trials involving high-profile defendants. Cases include the perjury trial of Roger Clemens, the sentencing of January 6th rioters, the case of Dr. Larry Nassar, and the Johnny Depp trial.

Providing the fodder for a whole new season of Law and Order, Challenging Cases is for every actual and armchair legal beagle in the country.

A sharp-edged and well-informed takedown of one of America’s sacred cows.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ON LOUIS MICHAEL SEIDMAN’S FROM PARCHMENT TO DUST

Constitutional theorists on the Right and the Left are united in the belief that constitutional law and review by the Supreme Court are crucial to the success of the American experiment. Both sides believe that—on issues ranging from affirmative action, reproductive freedom, and gun control, to economic regulation, regulation of speech, and the role of religion in American society—popular democracy is just too dangerous to go unchecked.

In a paradigm-shifting argument sure to change the debate about the rule of law in the age of Trump, Louis Michael Seidman argues that there is no approach to constitutionalism that can withstand the recent collapse of a progressive political coalition and an administration that has embraced a malignant populism. Seidman understands that a natural reaction to the current danger is to shore up the foundations of constitutional theory, uniting in the defense of “the rule of law.” But he sees this response as gravely mistaken and bound to fail. As he writes in the introduction, “no one should be fooled into thinking that a legal strategy will stop the broad thrust of the Trump revolution.”

Instead, he charts a different way forward. If both sides ended their dogmatic insistence that divisive social issues can be definitively settled by a piece of aging parchment, we might ease political tensions and begin a respectful and productive debate about the deep grievances that are tearing the country apart.

Louis Michael Seidman is the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Constitutional Law at Georgetown University and a former clerk for Thurgood Marshall. He is the author of From Parchment to Dust (The New Press) among other books, and lives in Washington, DC.

REVISED AND UPDATED

PAPERBACK A COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED HANDBOOK OF EYE- OPENING—AND FREQUENTLY MYTH- BUSTING— FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT THE REAL LIVES OF BLACK AMERICANS TODAY FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING PUSHOUT

As things are, our opinions upon the Negro are more matters of faith than of knowledge.

—W.E.B. DU BOIS, “THE STUDY OF THE NEGRO PROBLEMS” (1898)

There’s no defeating white supremacist myths without real data. Hailed as “an important resource for anyone seeking a better understanding of . Black America” (Benjamin Todd Jealous, former NAACP president and CEO), Black Stats, now available in a completely revised and updated edition, offers new facts, critical analyses, and information on the current state of Black life in the United States, at the quartercentury mark, unhindered by jargon and assumptions.

Monique Couvson, author of the acclaimed Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools, has compiled statistics from a broad spectrum of telling categories that illustrate the quality of life and the possibility of (and barriers to) advancement for a group at the heart of American society. With fascinating information on a wide range of topics including education, arts and entertainment, sports, the environment, health, justice, military service, money and jobs, science and technology, and more, this “invaluable resource” (International Journal of Communications) will enrich and inform many public debates while challenging commonly held yet often misguided perceptions.

Black Stats simultaneously highlights measures of incredible progress, conveys the disparate impacts of social policies and practices, and surprises with revelations that span many subjects. It is an essential tool for advocates, educators, and anyone seeking racial justice and to understand the complex state of our nation.

Monique Couvson, EdD, president / CEO of Grantmakers for Girls of Color and co–founder of the National Black Women’s Justice Institute, is the author of Pushout; Sing a Rhythm, Dance a Blues; and Charisma’s Turn. Her work has been featured by Time, The New York Times, and more. She lives in New York.

A brilliant and needed work. We can no longer claim that we didn’t know the depth of our crises or the wealth of our resources and resilience available to counter them. Now that we have the data, we must use it strategically to move our people—the nation and this troubled world—forward.

Finally, finally someone has come along to undo all the damage Peter Singer has done . . . a brave and brilliant book.

—MICHAEL BÉRUBÉ, AUTHOR OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT AND THE SECRET LIFE OF STORIES

In this provocative and original work, artist, activist, and scholar Sunaura Taylor— “Judith Butler meets St. Francis of Assisi” (The New Yorker) —explores the profound connections between animal liberation and disability justice. With keen insight and lyrical prose, Beasts of Burden asks us to reconsider long-held assumptions about autonomy, dependence, and what defines a life worth valuing.

Blending memoir, philosophy, and cultural critique, Taylor draws on her lived experience as a disabled person and lifelong animal advocate to examine how society marginalizes both disabled people and nonhuman animals—often through the same systems of power and exclusion. From the ethics of caregiving to the realities of factory farming, she invites readers to “crip” our understanding of animal ethics, opening the door to new forms of empathy and solidarity across difference.

As Rebecca Solnit has written, “Sunaura Taylor will shake up your categories, turn your world inside out, and tell you a lot of fascinating and important things you didn’t know yet, about your own body and the bodies of others, human and nonhuman, under an inhumane regime.”

Sunaura Taylor is an artist and writer based in New York City. She has written for AlterNet, American Quarterly, BOMB, The Monthly Review, Qui Parle, and M Magazine. She has contributed to the books Ecofeminism, Defiant Daughters, Occupy!, Stay Solid, and Infinite City.

How We See It

The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump

EDITED BY THE DIAL

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MADELEINE SCHWARTZ

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL FROM THE CELEBRATED INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE, TWELVE SHARP GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON A CHANGING UNITED STATES

America is unloved.

—POLITICO.COM, MAY 12, 2025, CITING THE 2025 DEMOCRACY PERCEPTION INDEX, WHICH TRACKED A PRECIPITOUS DECLINE IN GLOBAL PERCEPTIONS OF THE U.S.

The 2024 U.S. presidential election reverberated internationally, a global event whose outcome has already reshaped trade, migration, security, and rising authoritarianism across the world. Inside the United States, we are swamped by a news cycle; but how does the wider world see and interpret what is happening under Trump?

In How We See It, twelve of some of the most talented and insightful journalists from around the world probe their home countries’ complex relationship with the United States—and especially how this has swerved under the new administration. A diverse, international cast of writers examines

• how Turkey’s recent history helps us understand America’s slide into autocracy

• how Argentina’s century-long obsession with the dollar has changed under Trump

• the new wave of anti-American tourism activism in Italy

• what Elon Musk gets wrong about South Africa

• how Taiwan is navigating the uncertainty of Trump’s response in the event of a Chinese invasion

• the newly fraught view of the United States among Canadians

Featuring all new pieces commissioned by The Dial, How We See It both shifts and expands our frame of reference, our self-awareness, and our understanding of how much our world has changed since the fateful election of 2024.

Founded in 2023, The Dial is an online magazine of culture, politics, and ideas, with a focus on local writing from around the world. Madeleine Schwartz is founder and editor-in-chief of The Dial. The winner of the European Press Prize, she teaches journalism at Sciences Po and lives in Paris.

When bail is set unreasonably high, people are behind bars only because they are poor. . . . They don’t have money to get out of jail and they certainly don’t have money to flee anywhere.

—LORETTA LYNCH, FORMER UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL

Over 90 percent of people held in jail pretrial because they cannot pay cash bail will plead guilty, whether they committed a crime or not. Cash bail not only creates a twotier system of justice—one for those with money and one for those without—it also drives racial disparities in the criminal justice system and is responsible for almost all net jail growth in America over the past two decades. There is perhaps no other component of America’s justice system that is so broken, yet completely integral to the current operation of our courts, as bail.

With engaging and accessible prose, Robin Steinberg, founder and CEO of The Bail Project, and her colleague Camilo Ramirez tell the shocking true stories of people jailed by poverty while also detailing

• the history of bail, from its inception in medieval England to modern America, where it is a “mechanism for detention”

• how and why lawyers, judges, and legislators have become complicit in excessive bail

• how the current bail system undermines the promise of a fair and just system

• effective alternatives to cash bail

Steinberg and Ramirez provide an unprecedented look at America’s cash bail system and inspire us to imagine a better, fairer way forward.

Robin Steinberg is the founder and CEO of The Bail Project, a national nonprofit that pays bail for thousands of incarcerated people every year. She has been a TED speaker and is the author of The Courage of Compassion, with Camilo Ramirez, The Bail Project’s chief strategy officer. They both live in New York City.

Pink Crime

Fighting Against the Criminalization of Motherhood, Pregnancy, and Queer Identity

VALENA BEETY

A SOBERING AND ORIGINAL EXPOSÉ OF THE LAW’S RAMPED-UP ATTACKS ON THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US, AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT

Beety . . . fills important gaps in our conversation around the criminal justice system and innocence.

—JEN MARLOWE, AUTHOR

OF I AM TROY DAVIS

Pink Crime is a revealing and deeply researched examination of the strategic use of criminal law by today’s right-wing movement to limit the bodily autonomy of women and queer people. This powerful book examines the way the criminal justice system increasingly targets the most vulnerable populations and the alarming rate of wrongful convictions, uncovering how bias, stigma, and unreliable evidence have led to prosecution where no crime occurred.

Valena Beety paints a disturbing picture of how the deaths of loved ones— whether a husband who passed in his sleep or a child with a health condition—have been twisted into false accusations of murder due to systemic prejudices and prosecutorial overreach. She goes beyond wrongful convictions to explore the criminalization of identity, revealing how today’s legal system disproportionately punishes actions related to pregnancy, motherhood, and queer identity. Beety emphasizes how these legal mechanisms both strip away basic rights and lay the groundwork for even more oppressive measures in the future.

By examining the interplay of wrongful convictions and the criminalization of vulnerable communities, Pink Crime serves as a wake-up call to advocates, lawyers, and citizens, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect bodily autonomy and fundamental rights.

A former federal prosecutor, Valena Beety is the McKinney Professor of Law at Indiana University-Bloomington Maurer School of Law and a co-founder of the Indiana Innocence Project. She is the author of the award-winning Manifesting Justice and lives in Bloomington, Indiana.

Praise for Valena Beety’s Manifesting Justice:

Stolen Pride

Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right

ARLIE RUSSELL HOCHSCHILD

WITH A NEW AFTERWORD BY THE AUTHOR

NOW IN PAPERBACK THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED LOOK AT CULTURAL FACTORS THAT GAVE RISE TO THE RIGHT IN ONE OF OUR COUNTRY’S MOST OVERLOOKED REGIONS— APPALACHIA

A deeply researched account of the rightward turn in Appalachia.

—THE NEW YORKER

For all the attempts to understand the state of American politics and the blue / red divide, we’ve ignored one critical question: What can economic and cultural loss do to pride? What happens, Arlie Russell Hochschild asks in a work called “one of the year’s most important books” by Counterpunch, when the people of a hard-hit, long-ignored, region are grappling with a loss of pride—one that makes it feel “stolen”?

Hochschild’s research drew her to Pikeville, Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia, within the whitest and second-poorest congressional district in the nation, where the city is reeling: Coal jobs have left, crushing poverty persists, and a deadly drug crisis has struck the region. Although Pikeville was in the political center thirty years ago, by 2016, 80 percent of the district’s population voted for Donald Trump.

Hochschild, “a curious and skilled listener” (Financial Times), focuses on a group swept up in the shifting political landscape: blue-collar men. In small churches, hillside hollers, roadside diners, trailer parks, and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, she introduces us to unforgettable people and offers an original lens through which to see them and the wider world.

Arlie Russell Hochschild is the author of many groundbreaking books, including The Second Shift, The Managed Heart, and The Time Bind as well as Strangers in Their Own Land (The New Press), which became an instant bestseller and was a finalist for a National Book Award. Hochschild is professor emerita of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, where she lives.

Praise for Arlie Russell Hochschild’s Stolen Pride:

• A New York Times Book Review Best Book of the Year

• One of Barack Obama’s Favorite Books of 2024

• A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Pick

A piercing . . . impressive and nuanced assessment of a critical factor in American politics.

—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)

Hochschild is an unfailingly kind interviewer and adept storyteller, and her gallery of arresting characters, from both sides of the political divide, sticks with the reader. . . . One of the year’s most important books.
