decolonizing freedom allison weir

Freedom is celebrated as the definitive ideal of modern western civilization. Yet in western thought and practice, the freedom of some has typically been defined through opposition to the unfreedom of others. These exclusions are not secondary to a prior concept of freedom but are constitutive exclusions that have shaped the ways in which western theorists define what freedom is. Allison Weir draws on Indigenous political philosophies and practices of decolonization grounded in conceptions of relationality and resurgence, in dialogue with western philosophies, to reconstruct a tradition of relational freedom as a distinctive political conception of freedom: a radically democratic mode of engagement and participation in social and political relations with an infinite range of strange and diverse beings perceived as free agents in interdependent relations in a shared world. Through the work of Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, John Borrows, Glen Coulthard, Audra Simpson, Rauna Kuokkanen, Joanne Barker, Jodi Byrd, James Tully, and many others, this book traces a tradition of colonial unknowing in western conceptions of freedom from Hobbes through republican and critical theories, and explores a countertradition of relations between freedom and collective love, exemplified in Leanne Betasamosake Simpson s love of land and Hannah Arendt s love of the world. It considers Indigenous modes of world-creation as performative, affective, embodied strategies of democratic life, skilled modes of addressing diversity and conflict, fear and hostility, in practices of freedom that embrace polycentric knowledges and rooted dynamisms, in contexts of complexity and constant change. Weir argues that Indigenous women s struggles to belong to communities and participate in governance have engendered new theories of relational rights that combine politics of rights and resurgence, and calls for a coalitional politics guided by queer and feminist Indigenous models of transformative resurgence. Finally, Weir proposes an approach to critical theory as a practice of self-transformation through openness to the other, oriented toward relational freedom.

2022 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS WINNER -- LGBTQIA NONFICTION. The author offers an empowering perspective for people whose identities are often marginalized in the health and wellness industry. -- Manhattan Book Review. Become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself using wellness tools designed specifically for BIPOC and LGBTQ folks. The lack of BIPOC and LGBTQ representation in the fields of health and nutrition has led to repeated racist and unscientific biases that negatively impact the very people they purport to help. Many representatives of the increasingly popular body positivity movement actually add to the body image concerns of queer people of color by emphasizing cisgender, heteronormative, and Eurocentric standards of beauty. Few mainstream body positivity resources address the intersectional challenges of anti-Blackness, colorism, homophobia, transphobia, and generational trauma that are at the root of our struggles with wellness and self-care. In Decolonizing Wellness: A QTBIPOC-Centered Guide to Escape the Diet Trap, Heal Your Self-Image, and Achieve Body Liberation, registered dietitian and nutritionist Dalia Kinsey will help readers to improve their health without restriction, eliminate stress around food and eating, and turn food into a source of pleasure instead of shame. A road map to body acceptance and self-care for queer people of color, Decolonizing Wellness is filled with practical eating practices, journal prompts, affirmations, and mindfulness tools. Ultimately, decolonizing nutrition is essential not only to our personal well-being but to our community s well-being and to the possibility of greater social transformation. This is a body positivity and food freedom book for marginalized folks. It s a guide to throwing out food rules in exchange for internal cues and adopting a self-love-based approach to eating. It s about learning to trust our bodies and turning mealtime into a time for celebration and healing. It s also a love letter to those of us who struggle with our bodies and a gentle plea for us to do the work it takes to accept, trust, and love ourselves.

Decolonizing Bodies offers novel theorizations of how racial capitalism, colonialism, and heteropatriarchal violence erode the bodily schema and experiences of racialized and colonized populations, profoundly constraining their being in the world. The book invigorates embodiment studies by centering the experiences and struggles of Black, Indigenous, colonized, disabled, queer, and racialized subjects, showing how they live these displacements and disintegrations.The volume powerfully demonstrates how racism and colonialism sediment in bodily and habitual registers that are active, ongoing, made and remade. Bodies, the contributors argue, powerfully register the impacts of colonial and racialized violence, but through practices of embodiment, they also digest, expel, and transform them. In centering non-normative subjective experiences and making space for different kinds of embodied knowledge, Decolonizing Bodies also takes a step toward decolonizing academic knowledge.This exciting and urgent book offers readers new ways of imagining, choreographing and enacting the body. Beyond connecting distant geographies of harm, it celebrates polymorphous decolonial repertoires that record, creatively narrate, and heal.

A study of the intersecting fields of art history, ecology, visual culture, geography, and environmental politics. While ecology has received little systematic attention within art history, its visibility and significance has grown in relation to the threats of climate change and environmental destruction.

Je padesát bitev málo, nebo moc? William Weir na reprezentativním vzorku ozbrojených konfliktů ukazuje, že dějiny skutečně píší vítězové! 50 bitev, které změnily svět (50 Battles That Changed the World) není kniha oslavující válčení. Přináší jiný pohled na světové dějiny – William Weir se zaměřuje na klíčové bitvy, které výrazně pohnuly kolem dějin a jejichž význam byl, jak historie prokázala, naprosto zásadní pro uspořádání světa tak, jak ho známe nyní. Jednotlivé konflikty sahají od dávné minulosti až do dvacátého století. Některé jsou notoricky známé – Marathón, Waterloo, Midway či Stalingrad, některé ale zastřela mlha dějin a my na jejich význam trochu pozapomínáme – povstání Níká, Dublin, Emauzy… Naučili jsme se vnímat dějiny jako sled jednotlivých dat, ale málokdy je umíme vnímat v souvislostech. Kniha 50 bitev, které změnily svět právě ony významné a pro pochopení kontextu zásadní souvislosti poskytuje. Zjistíme, že žádná bitva nevznikla „zčistajasna“, že každému ozbrojenému konfliktu, ať už válečnému, nebo civilnímu, předcházela série problémů, nedorozumění, frustrace či prostě touha po moci a že vítězství jedné či druhé strany nebylo tak samozřejmé, jak se nám s odstupem času může jevit. A také se dozvíme, že ani ve „velkých dějinách“ není nouze o naprosto nepravděpodobné náhody. Je nesporné, že výsledky některých bitev či rozhodujících střetnutí zapříčinily zánik, nebo naopak přežití národů, států, či dokonce celých civilizací. Jak ale vybrat ty nejzásadnější? Autor se orientuje podle následujících aspektů: přínos pro demokracii a svobodu, střet mezi západní a východní kulturou, výboje a pokusy o nadvládu nad jinými národy atd. Války nejsou jen mechanismem sloužícím k zabíjení, jsou i prostředkem technologického pokroku. Je až s podivem, kolik konfliktů bylo zásadně ovlivněno rozdílnou kvalitou technického vybavení soupeřících stran či inovativní vojenskou taktikou a nakolik tyto „vynálezy“ změnily tvář nadcházejících bojů. Ačkoliv z takového úhlu možná o vojevůdcích a vojenských velitelích příliš nepřemýšlíme, drtivá většina z nich si kladla za cíl ušetřit co nejvíc životů svých vojáků, a proto inovovali vybavení i taktiku boje tak, aby při plnění vojenských cílů padlo co nejmenší procento jejich mužstva. Autor nemá prostor na obšírné líčení dobového kontextu a běžného života vojáka v poli (o civilistech, které každá válka zasáhne nejbolestivěji ani nemluvě), ale i přes to před nás předkládá obraz pětadvaceti století, kterými se jako krvavá linie táhne historie fatálních bitev, bez kterých by naše současnost vypadala dozajista úplně jinak. O autorovi William Weir je vojenský historik a publicista, autor téměř dvou desítek vysoce hodnocených knih, převážně zaměřených na vojenství a zbraně. Written with Lead, Fatal Victories, A Well Regulated Militia, Soldiers in the Shadows, Turning Points in Military History, 50 Weapons that Changed Warfare a další. Žije v Guilfordu v Connecticutu.

The Grammy- and Academy Award- nominated singer-songwriter s haunting, lyrical memoir, sharing the story of an unthinkable act of violence and ultimate healing through artMobile, Alabama, 1986. A fourteen-year-old girl is awakened by the unmistakable sound of gunfire. On the front lawn, her father has shot and killed her mother before turning the gun on himself. Allison Moorer would grow up to be an award-winning musician, with her songs likened to a Southern accent: eight miles an hour, deliberate, and very dangerous to underestimate (Rolling Stone). But that moment, which forever altered her own life and that of her older sister, Shelby, has never been far from her thoughts. Now, in her journey to understand the unthinkable, to parse the unknowable, Allison uses her lyrical storytelling powers to lay bare the memories and impressions that make a family, and that tear a family apart.Blood delves into the meaning of inheritance and destiny, shame and trauma -- and how it is possible to carve out a safe place in the world despite it all. With a foreword by Allison s sister, Grammy winner Shelby Lynne, Blood reads like an intimate journal: vivid, haunting, and ultimately life-affirming.

Brought to you by Penguin. A brilliant exploration of freedom – what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival – by the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny. Timothy Snyder has been called ‘the leading interpreter of our dark times’. As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge toward counsel and prediction, working against authoritarians. His book On Tyranny has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom. Freedom is the great American commitment, but as Snyder argues, we have lost sight of what it means – and this is leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: We think we re free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from, as freedom to – the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes – the habits of mind – that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions but also the role of institutions. Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace. On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy.

An urgent and galvanizing argument for an Economic Bill of Rightsâ ”and its potential to confer true freedom on all Americans. Since the Founding, Americans have debated the true meaning of freedom. For some, freedom meant the provision of lifeâ ™s necessities, those basic conditions for the â œpursuit of happiness.⠝ For others, freedom meant the civil and political rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights and unfettered access to the marketplaceâ ”nothing more.  As Mark Paul explains, the latter interpretationâ ”thanks in large part to a particularly influential cadre of economistsâ ”has all but won out among policymakers, with dire repercussions for American society: rampant inequality, endemic poverty, and an economy built to benefit the few at the expense of the many. In this book, Paul shows how economic rightsâ ”rights to necessities like housing, employment, and health careâ ”have been a part of the American conversation since the Revolutionary War and were a cornerstone of both the New Deal and the Civil Rights Movement. Their recuperation, he argues, would at long last make good on the promise of Americaâ ™s founding documents. By drawing on FDRâ ™s proposed Economic Bill of Rights, Paul outlines a comprehensive policy program to achieve a more capacious and enduring version of American freedom. Among the rights he enumerates are the right to a good job, the right to an education, the right to banking and financial services, and the right to a healthy environment. Replete with discussions of some of todayâ ™s most influential policy ideasâ ”from Medicare for All to a federal job guarantee to the Green New Dealâ ”The Ends of Freedom is a timely and urgent call to reclaim the idea of freedom from its captors on the political rightâ ”to ground Americaâ ™s next era in the countryâ ™s progressive history and carve a path toward a more economically dynamic and equitable nation.

Řecký historik Thúkýdidés popsal v Dějinách peloponnéské války dynamiku, která v 5. století př. n. l. vedla k velké antické válce mezi Athénami, jejichž moc vzrůstala, a dominující Spartou, u níž tyto změny vyvolaly velké obavy. Graham Allison, profesor politických věd z Harvardu, má za to, že podobná dynamika se v posledních pěti staletích šestnáctkrát opakovala. Na průřezu historií ukazuje, že dvanáctkrát skončil závod rostoucí velmoci s hegemonem válkou. Jen čtyřikrát se podařilo zachránit mír. A sedmnácté opakování je na obzoru: globální pořádek čelí zásadní otázce, zda mohou výrazně posilující Čína a stávající velmoc Spojené státy uniknout z Thúkýdidovy pasti. Autor, který má dar svým historickým rozhledem zaujmout nejen odborníky, ale i běžného čtenáře, předkládá závěry a postupy nutné k tomu, aby bylo možné vyhnout se válce.

A major reappraisal, by the Nobel-prizewinning economist, of the relationship between capitalism and freedomDespite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’ capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better. But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s? Should the freedoms of corporations be allowed to impinge upon those of individuals in the ways they now do? Taking on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek and Friedman and examining how public opinion is formed, Stiglitz reclaims the language of freedom from the right to show that far from ‘free’ – unregulated – markets promoting growth and enterprise, they in fact reduce it, lessening economic opportunities for majorities and siphoning wealth from the many to the few – both individuals and countries. He shows how neoliberal economics and its implied moral system have impacted our legal and social freedoms in surprising ways, from property and intellectual rights, to education and social media. Stiglitz’s eye, as always, is on how we might create the true human flourishing which should be the great aim of our economic and social system, and offers an alternative to that prevailing today. The Road to Freedom offers a powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics and what constitutes a good society—and provides a roadmap of how we might achieve it.

We are all afraid that new dangers pose a threat to our hard-won freedoms, so what deserves attention is precisely the notion of freedom.The concept of freedom is deceptively simple. We think we understand it, but the moment we try and define it we encounter contradictions. In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Žižek argues that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile. Countering the idea of libertarian individualism, Žižek draws on philosophers Hegel, Kierkegaard and Heidegger, as well as the work of Kandinsky and Agatha Christie to examine the many facets of freedom and what we can learn from each of them.Today, with the latest advances in digital control, our social activity can be controlled and regulated to such a degree that the liberal notion of a free individual becomes obsolete and even meaningless. How will we be obliged to reinvent (or limit) the contours of our freedom?Tracing its connection to everything from capitalism and war to the state and environmental breakdown, Žižek takes us on an illuminating and entertaining journey that shows how a deeper understanding of freedom can offer hope in dark times.

A timely and urgent argument for preserving the work that connects us in the age of automation A compelling case for valuing care as a societal good and as skilled labor. ⠔The NationWith the rapid development of artificial intelligence and labor-saving technologies like self-checkouts and automated factories, the future of work has never been more uncertain, and even jobs requiring high levels of human interaction are no longer safe. The Last Human Job explores the human connections that underlie our work, arguing that what people do for each other in these settings is valuable and worth preserving. Drawing on in-depth interviews and observations with people in a broad range of professions⠔from physicians, teachers, and coaches to chaplains, therapists, caregivers, and hairdressers⠔Allison Pugh develops the concept of ⠜connective labor,⠝ a kind of work that relies on empathy, the spontaneity of human contact, and a mutual recognition of each other⠙s humanity. The threats to connective labor are not only those posed by advances in AI or apps; Pugh demonstrates how profit-driven campaigns imposing industrial logic shrink the time for workers to connect, enforce new priorities of data and metrics, and introduce standardized practices that hinder our ability to truly see each other. She concludes with profiles of organizations where connective labor thrives, offering practical steps for building a social architecture that works. Vividly illustrating how connective labor enriches the lives of individuals and binds our communities together, The Last Human Job is a compelling argument for us to recognize, value, and protect humane work in an increasingly automated and disconnected world.
