Fidel Castro
Political Portraits: Fidel Castro reflects on famous figures in history

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A prominent figure himself on the world stage for fifty years, Fidel Castro offers some fascinating and perceptive comments on historical figures and some of his contemporaries, including: Nelson Mandela, Che Guevara, Jose Marti, Simon Bolivar, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Oswaldo Guayasamin, Ernest Hemingway, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Joseph Stalin, and Jesus Christ. With remarkable objectivity, and surprisingly little rancor or bitterness toward his foes, this selection offers as much insight into Fidel Castro as it does into those he discusses. This is the perfect complement to other Ocean Press books by Fidel Castro, such as Fidel Castro Reader (Spring 2007), Fidel and Religion, and My Early Years. The book includes twelve pages of photographs of Fidel with some of the personalities he discusses here. This title is also published in Spanish. [detailed...]

Political Representation

2002 y.
Publisher: Stanford University Press
Description: This ambitious work aims to reintroduce history into political theory. Contemporary political philosophy-liberalism, communitarianism, and republicanism-disregards history because it is irrelevant to the nature of politics and to what constitutes a political problem. The author argues that this view reduces politics and political philosophy to a vapid academic game that is insensitive to both the essence and practice of politics. He proposes that an indissoluble link between history and politics lies in the notion of representation. Since history represents the past, and the core of democratic politics resides in political representation, the author sees representation as the common ground of history and politics. He welcomes, analyzes, and elaborates all the aestheticist connotations of representation. The history of Machiavellianism demonstrates how influential the impact of history has been on political thought, ironically resulting in the repression of history from… [detailed...]

Political Uses of Memory (Socialist History Journal)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The political uses of historical writing—namely the genres of biography and autobiography within communist and socialist traditions—are closely examined in this issue of Socialist History Journal. Leading the way, Reiner Torsorff presents the first-ever biographical study written in English of Alexander Losowski—his life before the revolution, his rise in the Profintern, and beyond. Steve Hopkins examines Irish republican autobiography—its political forms and functions. Emmet O`Connor critically examines the autobiography of Irish Communists in the Spanish Civil War with an eye toward the mythic purposes which such writing serves. Additionally, Neil Redfern conveys the story of Michael Shapiro, the Daily Worker China correspondent who sided with the Chinese in the Sino-Soviet splits in the 1960s. [detailed...]

Cornelius Castoriadis
Political and Social Writings: Volume 3, 1961-1979

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Recommencing the Revolution, volume 3 of Cornelius Castoriadis’s Political and Social Writings, offers an extraordinary wealth and variety of writings from the crucial years that followed the publication of Castoriadis’s landmark text, Modern Capitalism and Revolution. The “new orientation” he proposed for the Socialisme ou Barbarie group centered on the emerging roles of women, youth, and minorities in the growing challenge to established society in the early sixties. Resistance within the group to this new orientation led Castoriadis to criticize the “neopaleo-Marxism” of Jean-Francois Lyotard and others who ultimately left Socialisme ou Barbarie. A heightened concern for ethnological issues culminated in what might be called, to the embarrassment of today’s “poststructuralists,” Castoriadis’s “premature antistructuralism.” Additional texts examine the dissolution of the group itself and analyze the May 1968 rebellion of workers and students—who, according to their own testimony,… [detailed...]

Description: Everything you thought you knew about nutrition but didn`t! Politically Incorrect Nutrition debunks many of the widely held beliefs of consumers as well as health care practitioners concerning our life-sustaining food supply.

Learn about these issues and more: *How non-caloric artificial sweeteners can actually make you fat -- if not kill you. *How overconsumption of certain soy products can upset your hormonal balance and lead to hypothyroidism. *Why cholesterol does not cause heart disease and how eggs and red meat may actually help prevent it. *The harmful effects of irradiation, microwaving, plastic leaching and overprocessing on food. *Why the government is poisoning our water supply… [detailed...]

Politics Online: Blogs, Chatrooms, And Discussion Groups In Ameri

2005 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: For years, social scientists, journalists and media critics have lamented the passing of New England style town meetings and the replacement of public settings that allowed for face to face discussions of the political issues of the day by controlled environments such as the workplace and the mall. In addition, much political `conversation` and discussion has not been participated in but overhead through mediated formats such as talk radio or the television talk show. The consequence of these trends has resulted in much hand wringing over the decline of civic engagement, the rise of public apathy, and a lack of deliberation about the political questions of the day. However, there has been much optimism as of late about a new forum of public political conversation that has emerged in the last decade: electronic discussion. Electronic discussion has been touted as a mechanism for true public discourse. It invites participation by the lay person who can now engage in an open political… [detailed...]

Politics after Neoliberalism: Reregulation in Mexico (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: During the past two decades, virtually all developing countries shifted from state-led to market-oriented neoliberal economic policies. This book analyzes fresh evidence from Southern Mexico about the effects of this global wave of policy reforms. The evidence challenges the widely held view that these reforms have set countries on a convergent path toward unregulated markets. The analysis shows that free-market reforms, rather than unleashing market forces, trigger the construction of different types of new regulatory institutions with contrasting consequences for economic efficiency and social justice.

Politics and Banking: Ideas, Public Policy, and the Creation of Financial Institutions

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Politics and Banking Susan Hoffmann explores the influence of public philosophies?in particular, classic liberalism, utilitarianism, progressivism, and populism?on the development of U.S. banking institutions. Focusing on banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions, Hoffmann demonstrates that though policy makers` political and economic interests surely played a role in the development of these institutions and the policies relating to them, we cannot overlook the importance of ideas. Following the development of banking from the first Congress through the Great Depression, Hoffmann begins by explaining how particular political ideas helped create the first Bank of the United States. She shows how other ideas?about the relationship between public and private spheres?led to the demise of the second Bank of the United States and establishment of the Independent Treasury. Further chapter topics include the development of the corporate bank,… [detailed...]

Politics and Economics in the Russian Far East: Changing Ties With Asia-Pacific

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Cold War is now over and the new Russia is attempting to turn itself into a democratic society with a market economy. The Soviet Union`s previous relationships with countries in the Asia Pacific were based on military consideration. The new Russia is now trying to forge stable and peaceful relations in the political, economic and security realms. This book addresses the key issue of what the Russian far east and its Northeast Asian neighbors can do to further closer economic and co-operative realtionships. The question of to what extent the state should intervene to stimulate economic growth in the Russian far east is covered, as are the options for a more laissez-faire approach. The possibilities for economic co-operation with the more successful market economies of the region are discussed as are the problems and opportunities presented by the exploitation of Russia`s vast natural resources. This book will be essential reading for all those wishing to obtain a deeper… [detailed...]
