Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)
A handbook for how to organize to meet immediate needs in your community and work toward lasting change.
Around the world, people are faced with crisis after crisis, from the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, brutal immigration enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality. As governments fail to respond to or actively engineer each crisis, ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and support vulnerable members of their communities.
This survival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid. This book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid has been a part of all larger, powerful social movements, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout. Mutual aid isn't charity: it's a form of organizing where people get to create new systems of care and generosity so we can survive.

A Napkirály udvarában
Franciaországba csöppenünk, a Napkirály udvarába. Persze én azonnal bajba keveredek: a király tehetséges táncosnak hisz! Fel kell lépnem a királyi ünnepségen, ráadásul irigyem is akad: valaki tönkre akarja tenni a mulatságot mindenáron. Ezernyi fürtös parókára, ezt bizony nem hagyhatom!
Ezt a különleges utazást persze most is Kolumbusznak, az időutazó lakóbusznak köszönhettük. Ő visz el minket újra és újra a távoli múltba (olykor akaratom ellenére is!). Izgalmasan hangzik, nem igaz? Akkor tarts velünk te is! Rajta, essünk túl a formaságokon, írd alá az időutazó-szerződést (enélkül nincs indulás!), aztán öveket becsatolni, várnak minket a szuper szórakoztató kalandok!
Dal jsem ti oči, a tys je upřela do temnot
Oceňovaný folk horor z katalánských kopců oslavuje ženské tělo ve všech podobách a rozbíjí stereotypy o ženské identitě. br Zatuchlý vzduch statku prostupuje vůně tymiánu a obětovaného kozla. Stařičká Bernadeta umírá a ženy rodu Clavellových chystají hostinu, aby ji na druhém břehu přivítaly jaksepatří. V bujarém podsvětí se prolínají groteskní výjevy se vzpomínkami, které odhalují rodová tajemství. Matriarcha Joana kdysi uzavřela pakt s ďáblem, aby získala dokonalého muže. Jenže po veselce zjistila, že Bernadímu Clavellovi chybí jeden prst na noze, a tak svou část dohody nedodržela. Na všechny ženy z rodu proto padla kletba: Bernadeta vidí věci, které by neměla, Margarita je vzteklá, protože má tříčtvrteční srdce, a Blančina ústa bez jazyka připomínají prázdné hnízdo.br Vypravěčský hlas bloudí statkem jako vánek a lehce stírá hranice mezi mrtvými a živými, minulostí a přítomností, skutečností a tím, čemu chceme věřit. Legendy a rčení putují napříč generacemi, aby nám připomněly, kdo jsme. Odkud vychází světlo a kde číhá temnota.

Anděl královny Konstancie
V čele trestné výpravy přijíždí do Hodonína v roce 1236 soudce Pardus Tvrdišovec, aby vyšetřil, kdo a proč zabil královnina rychtáře. Pardus se narodil v nedalekých Tvrdonicích, zná tedy povahu zdejších lidí, kteří stále věří na staré bohy a uctívají vědmy žijící v močálech kolem Hodonína. Královna Konstancie ho povolala, aby zajistil i bezpečí pro její nové úředníky, kteří mají za úkol udělat ve městě pořádek. Situace se vyhrotí, když do Hodonína přijede starý františkánský mnich a spolčí se s tamějším fanatickým knězem. Jejich cílem je potlačit přetrvávající projevy pohanství.
Román je inspirovaný listinou královny Konstancie Uherské, v níž povyšuje Hodonín na královské město a uděluje mu široká práva a současně vyzývá k potrestání vrahů jejího rychtáře Petra.

Matters of Truth
In Matters of Truth, Carlo Agostoni explores the frames and narratives shaping our understanding of whistleblowing, truth-telling, and their cultural histories. Narratives of whistleblowing are stories of truth-telling, first and foremost, but they are also stories of complication and conflicts of interest. The whistleblower is remedy and cure for some and poison and treason for others. But the anchor of the whistleblower is the immensity of factuality?-?an anchor that pulls him down and turns him into a tragic hero. But truth-telling is not the dominant frame surrounding whistleblowing in media, scholarship, nor politics. One of the dominant frames used to describe whistleblowing is leaking. Frames are not just words; they constitute the cognitive structures we think with. Framing a social phenomenon as 'leaking'?taps into our neural circuitry and a hidden realm of deep narratives. It is therefore imperative to study these narratives and frames that rule our unconscious and yield moral narratives we are commonly unaware of -?especially with a sociocultural phenomenon such as whistleblowing. Drawing on a wealth of examples and a wide range of philosophers, sociologists, cognitive linguists, literary critics, historians, and social psychologists, Carlo Agostoni analyzes the cultural narratives about whistleblowers that ignite explosions of truth and justice and the frames we use to defame them -?both knowingly and unknowingly. Words matter. Narratives matter. Especially in matters of truth.

Michelangelo and Titian
From the acclaimed author of Michelangelo, God’s Architect, a dual biography of two towering artists of the Renaissance, whose decades-long rivalry spurred both to greater heightsIn 1529, Michelangelo was in Venice when he first met Titian, Venice’s famed painter of princes, gods, and goddesses. Coming face-to-face with Titian’s drama-infused, richly colored works, the creator of David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling realized he had met a worthy opponent. Twenty-five years later, Titian came to Rome to paint the pope, and the two met again. Painting in the Vatican, Titian experienced the full power of Michelangelo’s work and vowed to surpass the achievements of his older contemporary. Michelangelo and Titian is the untold story of history’s greatest artistic rivalry, a competition between two monumental figures more admiring of one another than either would ever admit. William Wallace brings the world of the sixteenth century to life, and in particular its culture of gossip and intrigue. Wallace challenges the established narrative of this relationship as mostly one-sided, with the younger artist in competition with the reigning master. He shows how the artists moved in overlapping courtly and papal circles, sharing the patronage, power, and sometimes friendship of the most important people of their era, including members of the Medici, Este, and Farnese families. Wallace traces how, over the span of some forty years, this unspoken rivalry was reciprocal and mutually beneficial, with each learning from the other’s brilliance, quietly seeking to best the other’s work and secure his own legacy. An extraordinary achievement, Michelangelo and Titian is a compelling account of two supremely gifted rivals who inspired each other to test the limits of their creative genius, and in doing so created some of the most astonishing works of art the world has ever known.

Reluctant Abolitionists
Britain abolished the death penalty for murder in 1965, but many of Britain's last colonies retained capital murder laws until the 1990s. In this book, James M. Campbell presents the first history of the death sentences imposed under British colonial rule in the late twentieth century; the decision-making processes that determined if condemned prisoners lived or died; and the diverse paths to death penalty abolition across the empire. Based on a rich archive of recently released government records, as well as legislative debates, court papers, newspapers and autobiographies, Reluctant Abolitionists examines connections between the death penalty, British politics, decolonisation and the rise of international abolitionist movements. Through analysis of murder trials, clemency appeals, executions and legal reforms across more than 30 British colonies, it reveals the limits of British opposition to the death penalty and the enduring connections between capital punishment and empire.
