The book that is providing a storm of controversy, from ‘Israel’s bravest historian’ (John Pilger)Renowned Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe s groundbreaking work on the formation of the State of Israel. Along with the late Edward Said, Ilan Pappe is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history. NEW STATESMAN Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint. Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called ethnic cleansing . Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel’s founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. Indispensable for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East. *** Ilan Pappe is Israel s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian. JOHN PILGER Pappe has opened up an important new line of inquiry into the vast and fateful subject of the Palestinian refugees. His book is rewarding in other ways. It has at times an elegiac, even sentimental, character, recalling the lost, obliterated life of the Palestinian Arabs and imagining or regretting what Pappe believes could have been a better land of Palestine. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT A major intervention in an argument that will, and must, continue. There s no hope of lasting Middle East peace while the ghosts of 1948 still walk. INDEPENDENT

Ilan Pappé je jednou z nejvýraznějších a v očích mnoha i nejkontroverznějších tváří disidentské skupiny izraelských historiků, kteří od osmdesátých let dvacátého století na základě nově zpřístupněných, odtajněných archivních dokumentů kriticky přehodnocují zavedený oficiální výklad izraelských dějin, především pak období spjaté se založením Státu Izrael v roce 1948 a s izraelsko-palestinským konfliktem, který ani po dlouhých desetiletích nedospěl k mírovému řešení. V rámci volného uskupení nových historiků patří Pappé k těm nejradikálnějším. Za své postoje čelil ve své rodné zemi ostrým útokům, ba výhrůžkám smrtí, a když byl v roce 2007 v podstatě vyštván z Haifské univerzity, rozhodl se pro odchod do Velké Británie, kde dodnes působí na Exeterské univerzitě. Ve své knize Deset mýtů o Izraeli, která vyšla v roce stého výročí Balfourovy deklarace a padesátého výročí okupace zbylých palestinských území, Pappé vyvrací základní mýty, o něž se opírá státní doktrína a oficiální narativ Státu Izrael. Zpochybňuje například tradiční představu, že Palestina byla před příchodem prvních sionistů takřka liduprázdnou, zaostalou pouštní krajinou, demaskuje mýtus o dobrovolném odchodu palestinských uprchlíků v roce 1948, ukazuje neudržitelnost teze, že neexistuje žádná souvislost mezi sionismem a kolonialismem, dokazuje nepravdivost názoru, že Izrael v roce 1967 při šestidenní válce jednal tak, jak jednal, proto, že neměl na vybranou , demonstruje neobhajitelnost přesvědčení, že Izrael se v rámci mírového procesu z Osla skutečně pokoušel o urovnání konfliktu a uzavření míru, a v neposlední řadě koriguje široce sdílené mínění, že Izrael je demokratickým státem… Zároveň je nutno dodat, že nesmlouvavý bořitel mýtů Ilan Pappé bývá obviňován z toho, že sám manipuluje s fakty a vytváří mýty nové. Ovšem i ti, kdo s ním nesouhlasí, by si jeho argumenty podložený výklad měli vyposlechnout.

Professor Chomsky is among the leading thinkers across the globe over the last century. CONVERSATIONS WITH NOAM CHOMSKY bolsters this assertion. The book is a deft exploration into Chomsky s views on the distinction between linguistic philosophy and the philosophy of language, consciousness, machines, the ethics of artificial intelligence in the wake of ChatGPT, the relationship between the heart and the mind, and the stakes of disciplines and canon formation for knowledge and human transformation. Language, ultimately, is the fulcrum of Chomsky s thought, as is language for intellectuals such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sylvia Wynter, and Ng g wa Thiong o. Teodros Kiros, esteemed Africana philosopher and interviewer, has done us a great service in bringing the best of Chomsky s ideas in an exciting, accessible manner. Go and enjoy this book! - Neil Roberts, Associate Dean of the Faculty, Williams College These conversations remind us that philosophy is a pursuit in which all humans can engage. Chomsky speaks with his characteristic directness, exploring the perennial mysteries of mind and matter, recognising the limits to human understanding. I was especially struck by his reminder, in speaking of 17th-century European philosophy, of the devastating consequences for conquered peoples of the determination that they had souls. That verdict, as we come to see, was a moment in the long history of speculation on the central question of what distinguishes humans from other animals, on which reflection is here brought entertainingly down to earth in Chomsky s frequent allusions to the silent witnesses to the dialogues - his two dogs! - Victor Wallis, professor, Liberal Arts Sciences, Berklee College of Music

Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to discuss transcendental topics and debate alternatives for the future: José Pepe Mujica, former president of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who has gained enormous international popularity for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, an intellectual who revolutionized linguistics and later addressed a wide range of humanistic and political topics of profound importance.Mexican documentary filmmaker Saúl Alvídrez brought these two pivotal figures together for a fruitful exchange of ideas. From the meeting of these voices emerge reflections that allow an approach to many of the major issues that the world currently faces: the consequences of climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism and its successive mutations, the logic of the market economy, and problems of production, among many others.Chomsky and Mujica emphasize throughout the values that must be taken into account to move towards a sustainable future: democracy, freedom, purposeful living, love, and friendship are here the pillars from which to build a new world.

Revealed: How pro-Israel lobbying groups influence the Middle East policies of Britain, the US and othersIn 1896, a Jewish state was a pipe dream. Today the overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen? Ilan Pappe unveils how over a century of aggressive lobbying changed the map of the Middle East. Pro-Israel lobbies convinced British and American policymakers to condone Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law, grant Israel unprecedented military aid and deny Palestinians rights. Anyone who questioned unconditional support for Israel, even in the mildest terms, became the target of relentless smear campaigns.

In this comprehensive exploration of one of the world’s most prolonged and tragic conflicts, Pappe uses recently declassified archival material to analyse the motivations and strategies of the generals and politicians – and the decision-making process itself – that laid the foundation of the occupation.

An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works, based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series What is Politics? Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society. Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands. How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of common sense is actually driven by the ruling classes needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet? Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections between neoliberal common sense and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.

Can it be that the human brain possesses an in-built faculty for language? Noam Chomsky, one of the most brilliant linguists of the 20th century, believes that it does- that there exists a universal grammar common to all languages. Around the world children learn, in very similar ways, languages that seem entirely different. This is possible, Chomsky argues, because all human languages and their grammatical structures are linked in the human brain.Chomsky is controversial and yet highly influential, both in his pioneering work in linguistics and in his unrelenting critique of international power and his commitment to freedom and justice. These two Chomskys are heirs to the Enlightenment tradition, and this book is the ideal introduction to them both.

Wide-ranging, in-depth analysis of Spanish-language television fiction after the 2008 global financial crisis.Crisis TV addresses the motif of crisis that has come to dominate contemporary Hispanic televisual production since 2008 and the onset of the global financial crisis. In almost unprecedented fashion, the global economy came to a standstill, reshaping both geopolitical organizations and, more importantly, the lives of billions across the globe. The Great Recession, sociopolitical instabilities, the rise of extremist political parties and governments, and a worldwide pandemic have resulted in a mode of crisis that pervades contemporary television fiction. 2008 also marks a revolution in television, as local and global streaming services began to gain market share and even overtake traditional over-the-air transmission. The essays in Crisis TV identify and analyze the narrative tropes and aesthetic qualities of Hispanic television post-2008 to understand how different regions and genres have negotiated these intersecting crises and changing dynamics in production, dissemination, and consumption.

James Lovelock s bestselling The Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth is Fighting Back - and How we can Still Save Humanity is a dire warning against the unchecked growth of civilization. Despite all our efforts to retreat sustainably, we may be unable to prevent a global decline into a chaotic world ruled by brutal warlords on a devastated Earth... For thousands of years, humans have exploited the planet without counting the cost. Now Gaia, the living Earth, is fighting back. As the polar icecaps shrink and the global temperature rises, we approach the point of no return. Sustainable development, Lovelock argues, is no longer possible, and the only open to us may be a sustainable retreat . This is the one book you must read to find out what is happening, how bad it will get - and how we can survive. The most important book for decades Andrew Marr The most important book ever to be published on the environmental crisis ... Lovelock will go down in history as the scientist who changed our view of the Earth John Gray, Independent Truly terrifying ... Lovelock s arguments carry more conviction than anyone else s now writing Peter Forbes, Daily Mail James Lovelock is the author of more than 200 scientific papers and the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis (now Gaia Theory).

There s something to disagree with on every page. But this makes the book more enjoyable and interesting, not less; it offers valuable provocation. â ” The New Yorke Elegant. â ” The Wall Street JournalAre we confronting a new cultureâ ”global, online, individualistic? Or is our existing concept of culture in crisis, as explicit, normative systems replace implicit, social values?Olivier Royâ ™s new book explains todayâ ™s fractures via the extension of individual political and sexual freedoms from the 1960s. For Roy, twentieth-century youth culture disconnected traditional political protest from class, region or ethnicity, fashioning an identity premised on repudiation rather than inheritance of shared history or values. Having spread across generations under neoliberalism and the internet, youth culture is now individualised, ersatz.Without a shared culture, everything becomes an explicit code of how to speak and act, often online. Identities are now defined by socially fragmenting personal traits, creating affinity-based sub-cultures seeking safe spaces: universities for the left, gated communities and hard borders for the right.Increased left- and right-wing references to â ˜identityâ ™ fail to confront this deeper crisis of culture and community. Our only option, Roy argues, is to restore social bonds at the grassroots or citizenship level.

On that fateful day, Tibon and his wife were awakened by mortar rounds exploding near their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a progressive Israeli settlement along the Gaza border.

In its comprehensive sweep, deep probing and acute critical analysis, Finkelstein s study stands alone. ⠔Noam Chomsky No one who ventures an opinion on Gaza . . . is entitled to do so without taking into account the evidence in this book. ⠔The InterceptThe Gaza Strip is among the most densely populated places in the world. More than two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half are under eighteen years of age. Since 2004, Israel has launched eight devastating ⠜operations⠝ against Gaza⠙s largely defenseless population. Thousands have perished, and tens of thousands have been left homeless. In the meantime, Israel has subjected Gaza to a merciless illegal blockade.  What has befallen Gaza is a man-made humanitarian disaster.  Based on scores of human rights reports, Norman G. Finkelstein s new book presents a meticulously researched inquest into Gaza⠙s martyrdom. He shows that although Israel has justified its assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact these actions constituted flagrant violations of international law.  But Finkelstein also documents that the guardians of international law⠔from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to the UN Human Rights Council⠔ultimately failed Gaza. One of his most disturbing conclusions is that, after Judge Richard Goldstone s humiliating retraction of his UN report, human rights organizations succumbed to the Israeli juggernaut. Finkelstein⠙s magnum opus is both a monument to Gaza⠙s martyrs and an act of resistance against the forgetfulness of history.

From the author of The Shifts and the Shocks, and one of the most influential writers on economics, a reckoning with how and why the relationship between democracy and capitalism is coming undone We are living in an age when economic failings have shaken faith in global capitalism. Political failings have undermined trust in liberal democracy and in the very notion of truth. The ties that ought to bind open markets to free and fair elections are being strained and rejected, even in democracy s notional heartlands.Around the world, democratic capitalism, which depends on the determined separation of power from wealth, is in crisis. Some now argue that capitalism is better without democracy; others that democracy is better without capitalism. This book is a forceful rejoinder to both views.It analyses how the marriage between capitalism and democracy has become so fraught and yet insists that a divorce would be an almost unimaginable calamity. Martin Wolf, one of the wisest public voices on global affairs, argues that for all its recent failings - slowing growth, increasing inequality, widespread popular disillusion - democratic capitalism, though inherently fragile, remains the best system we know for human flourishing. Capitalism and democracy are complementary opposites: they need each other if either is to thrive.Wolf s superb exploration of their marriage shows us how citizenship and a shared faith in the common good are not romantic slogans but the essential foundation of our economic and political freedom.
