Anarchist Seeds Beneath the Snow
From William Morris to Oscar Wilde to George Orwell left-libertarian thought has long been an important but neglected part of British cultural and political history. This work seeks to recover that indigenous anarchist tradition. It argues that a recovered anarchist tradition could be a touchstone for contemporary political radicals.
Ethical Naturalism and the Problem of Normativity
We all have ethical beliefs, such as the belief that torture is wrong. Ethical beliefs purport to guide our behaviour rather than merely to describe the world, and this creates a puzzle: What could possibly make some of these beliefs be true? Ethical realists hold that there are ethical facts that make some of them true. Ethical naturalists contend that these are ordinary natural facts -- facts that are similar in all relevant respects to physical ones. This idea has seemed especially problematic. How could it be that any ordinary natural fact has the kind of normativity -- the action-guiding nature -- that our ethical beliefs point to? David Copp answers these puzzles and argues, surprisingly, that ethical naturalism is better positioned to explain the nature of normativity than its alternatives.
Immigration and Exile Foreign-Language Press in the UK and in the US
Both Britain and the United States have had a long history of harbouring foreign political exiles, who often set up periodicals which significantly contributed to community-building and political debates. However, this varied and complex journalism has received little attention to date, particularly regarding the languages in which it was produced. This wide-ranging edited volume brings together for the first time interdisciplinary case studies of the exile foreign-language press (in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Flemish, Polish, among other languages) across Britain and the US, establishing a useful comparative framework to explore how periodicals tackled key political, linguis...
The Goncourt Brothers and the Language of Etching
The Goncourt Brothers and the Language of Etching reassesses Edmond and Jules de Goncourts' work as both authors and etchers, arguing that their firsthand experience with printmaking fundamentally shaped their prose. Known as novelists, diarists, art historians, and collectors, the Goncourt brothers were also printmakers, producing nearly 100 etchings from 1859 until Jules' untimely death in 1870. Over the same decade, the brothers were active participants in the French etching revival, a movement that brought together artists and writers to promote etching as a cutting-edge print medium and theorize printmaking in new ways. Using an interdisciplinary approach that centers the embodied proce...

Three Nights In Havana
On January 26, 1976, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau became the first leader of a NATO country to visit Cuba since the crippling 1960 American economic embargo. Accompanied by his wife, Margaret, and baby Michel, Trudeau was greeted in Havana by 250,000 cheering Cubans and a 30-foot poster of himself. “Long live Prime Minister Fidel Castro!” Trudeau would famously shout at the love-in. In this fascinating portrait of an unusual relationship between two enigmatic world leaders, author and historian Robert Wright brings to life three days of Canadian politics played out on the international stage. In a revealing look at both leaders’ personalities and political ideologies, Wright shows how these two towering figures—despite their official positions as allies of rival empires—determinedly refused to exist merely as handmaidens to the United States and forged a long-lasting relationship.
