Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A $1.3 trillion industry, the US nonprofit sector is the world`s seventh largest economy. From art museums and university hospitals to think tanks and church charities, over 1.5 million organizations of staggering diversity share the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) designation, if little else. Many social justice organizations have joined this world, often blunting political goals to satisfy government and foundation mandates. But even as funding shrinks and government surveillance rises, many activists often find it difficult to imagine movement-building outside the nonprofit model. The Revolution Will Not Be Funded gathers original essays by radical activists from around the globe who are critically rethinking the long-term consequences of this investment. Together with educators and nonprofit staff they finally name the `nonprofit industrial complex` and ask hard questions: How did politics shape the birth of the nonprofit model? How does 501(c)(3) status allow the state… [detailed...]

Jack A. Goldstone
Revolution and Rebellion in the Early Modern World

1993 y.
Publisher: University of California Press
Description: What can the great crises of the past teach us about contemporary revolutions? Arguing from an exciting and original perspective, Goldstone suggests that great revolutions were the product of `ecological crises` that occurred when inflexible political, ecnomic, and social institutions were overwhelmed by the cumulative pressure of population growth on limited available resources. Moreover, he contends that the causes of the great revolutions of Europe--the English and French revolutions--were similar to tose of the great rebellions of Asia, which shattered dynasties in Ottoman Turkey, China, and Japan. The author observes that revolutions and rebellions have more often produced a crushing state orthodoxy than liberal institutions, leading to the onclusion that perhaps it is vain to expect revolution to bring democracy and economic progress. Instead, contends Goldstone, the path to these goals must begin with respect for individual liberty rather than authoritarian movements… [detailed...]

Gilbert Michael Joseph
Revolution from Without: Yucatan, Mexico, and the United States, 1880-1924

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: By focusing on Yucatan, this history of the Mexican Revolution not only advances the understanding of the Revolution in that region but also contributes to the understanding of the Revolution as a whole. If historians agree on anything in the highly charged field of Mexican revolutionary history, it is that the Revolution can no longer be viewed as a monolithic event. It was a series of regional phenomena, each governed by a set of local social, economic, political, geographical, and cultural factors. Thus far, historians have concentrated on the victorious caudilloled armies of the north, which was the birthplace of the Revolution, or on the popular social movements of central Mexico, most notably Zapatismo, the agrarian movements of Veracruz and Michoacan, and the more widespread Cristero rebellion. In bypassing southeastern Mexico, modern writers seem to have concurred with the assessment of some contemporary observers that, in the remote Yucatan peninsula, the Revolution followed… [detailed...]

Ian MacDonald
Revolution in the Head: The Beatles` Records and the Sixties

2008 y.
Publisher: Vintage
Description: As dazzling as the decade they dominated, `The Beatles` almost single-handedly created pop music as we know it. Today, their songs are cited as seminal influences by stars like `Oasis` and `Blur`. Eloquently giving voice to their time, `The Beatles` quite simply changed the world. Fully updated to include material from `The Beatles` `Live at the BBC` and the `Anthology` series, this acclaimed book goes back to the heart of `The Beatles` - their records. Drawing on a unique resource of knowledge and experience to `read` their 241 tracks - chronologically from their first amateur efforts in 1957 to `Real Love`, their final `reunion` recording in 1995 - Ian MacDonald has created an engrossing classic of popular criticism in which the extraordinary songs of `The Beatles` remain a central and continually surprising presence.

Andrew Grant Wood
Revolution in the Street: Women, Workers and Urban Protest in Veracruz, 1870-1927 (Latin American Silhouettes)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This new book examines the social protests of popular groups in urban Mexico during and after the Mexican Revolution and also shows how the revolution inspired women to become activists in these movements. Andrew Grant Wood?s well-researched narrative focuses specifically on the complex negotiation between elites and popular groups over the issue of public housing in post-revolutionary Veracruz, Mexico. Wood then compares the Veracruz experience with other tenant movements throughout Mexico and Latin America. He analyzes what the popular groups wanted, what they got, how they got it, and how the changes wrought by the revolution facilitated their actions. Grassroots organizing by house-renters in Veracruz began at a time of ?multiple sovereignty? when ruling elites found themselves in a process of regime change and political realignment. As the movement took shape, tenants expanded their opportunities through a dynamic repertoire of public demonstration, direct… [detailed...]

Andy Hertzfeld, Susan Kare
Revolution in the Valley

2004 y.
Publisher: O`Reilly Media, Inc.
Description: There was a time, not too long ago, when the typewriter and notebook ruled, and the computer as an everyday tool was simply a vision. Revolution in the Valley traces this vision back to its earliest roots: the hallways and backrooms of Apple, wherethe groundbreaking Macintosh computer was born. The book traces the development of the Macintosh, from its inception as an underground skunkworks project in 1979 to its triumphant introduction in 1984 and beyond. The stories in Revolution in the alley come on extremely good authority. That`s because author Andy Hertzfeld was a core member of the team that built the Macintosh system software, and a key creator of the Mac`s radically new user interface software. One of the chosen few who workedwith the mercurial Steve Jobs, you might call him the ultimate insider. When Revolution in the Valley begins, Hertzfeld is working on Apple`s first attempt at a low-cost, consumer-oriented computer: the Apple II. He sees… [detailed...]

Revolution of the Mind, Revised Edition: The Life of Andre Breton

Publisher: —
Description: Aptly described by playwright Eugene Ionesco as `one of the four or five great reformers of modern thought`, Andre Breton (1896-1966) was the founder and prime mover of Surrealism, the most influential artistic and literary movement of the 20th century. Poet and theorist, artistic impresario and political agitator, Breton was a man of paradoxical character: inspiring one moment, crushingly tyrannical the next, embracing friends like Brunuel, Dali, Duchamp, Miro, Man Ray, Aragon and Eluard, only to exile them as enemies later. From its emergence from Dada after World War I through its culmination in the 1960s, here is the Surrealist world in detail. [detailed...]

Revolution! : The Explosion of World Cinema in the Sixties

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description An evocative and unique exploration of the most important era in international filmmaking In film history, the sixties are commonly known as the golden age of international cinema. The period from 1958 to 1969 saw a brilliant explosion of talent not just in Europe but throughout the world. From Sweden and Poland to India and Japan, from Brazil and Hungary to Spain and Czechoslovakia, young filmmakers seemingly sprang out of nowhere, challenging the stale conservativism of fifties cinema. With films like Jules et Jim, 8 1/2, and Breathless , to name but a few, they flouted taboos both sexual and political while bringing sharper, fresher, franker, more violent, and more personal visions to the screen than ever before. In Revolution! , Peter Cowie discusses the themes, trends, and creative filmmakers of the period-including Antonioni, Bergman, Cassavetes, Fellini, Godard, Kurosawa, and Truffaut-while focusing on those whose… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description In Revolutionary Acts Susan Maslan shows how theater played a pivotal role in Revolutionary France, positioning the theatrical stage as a battleground on which the people of Paris and the government fought for municipal control. Examining the production, performance, and reception of Parisian plays between 1789 and 1794, Maslan sheds new light on two issues central to the political cultures of Paris and France: the nature of political representation -- specifically the problematic relationship between direct democracy and representative democracy -- and the correlative problem of transparency and its relation to theatricality. While traditional scholarship emphasizes the influence of newspapers and books on the French Revolution, Maslan`s erudite analysis reveals the rich and powerful impact of theater on France`s fledgling democracy.

Revolutionary Memory is the most important book yet to be published about the vital tradition of leftwing American Poetry. As Cary Nelson shows, it is not only our image of the past but also our sense of the present and future that changes when we recover these revolutionary memories. Making a forceful case for political poetry as poetry, Nelson brings to bear his extraordinary knowledge of American poets, radical movements, and social struggles in order to bring out an undervalued strength in a literature often left at the canon`s edge. Focused in part of the red decade of the 1930s, Revolutionary Memory revitalizes biographical criticism for writers on the margin and shows us for the first time how progressive poets fused their work into a powerful chorus of political voices.
