Why You Should Be a Socialist
A primer on Democratic Socialism for those who are extremely skeptical of it, from the founder and editor of Current Affairs . "A scrupulous, carefully argued work that will challenge liberals and confound conservatives." —Ryan Cooper, national correspondent for The Week America is witnessing the rise of a new generation of socialist activists. From the heyday of Occupy Wall Street through the 2020 presidential election and beyond, young progressives have been increasingly drawn to socialism—today, the movement has more support than it has had since the 1920s.

How Slavoj Became Zizek
An engrossing account of the meteoric rise of contemporary philosophy’s most contentious and prolific intellectual. This revised edition corrects several erroneous and insufficient references in the first edition of this book. Slovenian philosopher bad boy Slavoj Žižek is one of the most famous intellectuals of our time, publishing at a breakneck speed and lecturing around the world. With his unmistakable speaking style and set of mannerisms that have made him ripe material for internet humor and meme culture, he is recognizable to a wide spectrum of fans and detractors. But how did an intellectual from a small Eastern European country come to such popular notoriety? In How Slavoj Became...
Authenticating Whiteness
In Authenticating Whiteness: Karens, Selfies, and Pop Stars, Rachel E. Dubrofsky explores the idea that popular media implicitly portrays whiteness as credible, trustworthy, familiar, and honest, and that this portrayal is normalized and ubiquitous. Whether on television, film, social media, or in the news, white people are constructed as believable and unrehearsed, from the way they talk to how they look and act. Dubrofsky argues that this way of making white people appear authentic is a strategy of whiteness, requiring attentiveness to the context of white supremacy in which the presentations unfold. The volume details how ideas about what is natural, good, and wholesome are reified in med...
Regressive Illusions
It is not false consciousness that is bad, in itself, but rather the regressive impulses it creates politically, socially and morally. Illusions are part of our everyday lives - but it depends what kind of illusions are navigating us through our predicaments. Drawing on insights from critical theory and psychoanalysis, Florian Maiwald explores how multiple interconnected challenges force us to confront the illusions sustaining our societal norms. Maiwald argues that as collective illusions of progress crumble, we are not responding with innovative solutions but retreating into what he terms 'regressive illusions': backward-looking fantasies that quite often masquerade as progressive ideals. ...
The Republic of Crisfield
While science may wish to be impersonal, everyone is personally affected by it. It has become increasingly hard to make the case that Science exists to serve humanity. Not only is the world's environment threatened but society itself that should protect us has become fearsome. In this novel the lead character Ben Wright discovers to his dismay his ideas are not his own. The government insists that if the idea weaponry potential, it belongs to the state. Nobody told this to Ben during the forty years he worked on the most vexing problem in physics, the Unified Field Theory, and the moment he attempts to make it known, all hell breaks loose. Running for cover to gain time to sort things out, h...
