No gramado em que a luta o aguarda
No livro No gramado em que a luta o aguarda: antifascismo e a disputa pela democracia no Palmeiras, o historiador Micael Zaramella propõe uma abordagem ampla de lutas antifascistas e disputas históricas que ocorreram na Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras em defesa de valores democráticos. Sua meticulosa leitura da trajetória política do clube oferece um mergulho nas atividades de militantes palestrinos, bem como um painel abrangente de diversas experiências de construção autônoma e democrática protagonizadas por sócios, torcedores e atletas. Simultaneamente, ao articular o passado histórico à potência política das culturas de arquibancada e das lutas do presente (protagonizadas por diversos coletivos de esquerda), o livro aponta para as possibilidades de um Palmeiras de todas e todos, reivindicado e constituído através das práticas militantes entre torcedores nas ruas e nos estádios. Uma referência fundamental para leitores e leitoras – palmeirenses ou não – interessados nos cruzamentos entre história, futebol e política.

Building the Commune
Latin America’s experiments in direct democracy Since 2011, a wave of popular uprisings has swept the globe, taking shape in the Occupy movement, the Arab Spring, 15M in Spain, and the anti-austerity protests in Greece. The demands have been varied, but have expressed a consistent commitment to the ideals of radical democracy. Similar experiments began appearing across Latin America twenty-five years ago, just as the left fell into decline in Europe. In Venezuela, poor barrio residents arose in a mass rebellion against neoliberalism, ushering in a government that institutionalized the communes already forming organically. In Building the Commune, George Ciccariello-Maher travels through these radical experiments, speaking to a broad range of community members, workers, students and government officials. Assessing the projects’ successes and failures, Building the Commune provides lessons and inspiration for the radical movements of today.

Antifa
The National Bestseller “Focused and persuasive... Bray’s book is many things: the first English-language transnational history of antifa, a how-to for would-be activists, and a record of advice from anti-Fascist organizers past and present.”—THE NEW YORKER As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism — also known as “antifa.” Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amidst opposition to the Trump administration and the alt-right. In a smart and gripping investigation, historian and activist Mark Bray provides a detailed survey of the full history of anti-fascism from its origins to the present d...
The Age of Unproductive Capital
This book offers a very direct and readable analysis of the main challenges facing our societies today, such as reducing inequality, protecting the planet, and in particular mobilizing our financial resources which linger in tax havens and feed speculation, instead of funding the sustainable development we need. It precisely considers the most important factors, including corporate governance, financialization, capturing political power, and the limits to adequate national economic policies in a world dominated by global finance. The book’s presentation of how sensible and productive policies are dismantled will be highly interesting for the international community, whether in the academic, corporate or government spheres.
We Slaves of Suriname
Anton de Kom’s We Slaves of Suriname is a literary masterpiece as well as a fierce indictment of racism and colonialism. In this classic book, published here in English for the first time, the Surinamese writer and resistance leader recounts the history of his homeland, from the first settlements by Europeans in search of gold through the era of the slave trade and the period of Dutch colonial rule, when the old slave mentality persisted, long after slavery had been formally abolished. 159 years after the abolition of slavery in Suriname and 88 years after its initial publication, We Slaves of Suriname has lost none of its brilliance and power.
Marx Selvagem
"O empreendimento de Jean Tible é ousado e original. Como promover um encontro entre a teoria marxiana, tendo em conta sua filosofia da história, com os povos ditos selvagens, que não se resignam ao triste papel de resíduos arcaicos de um processo histórico destinado ao "progresso" ? O presente trabalho não é um exercício de especulação teórica, mas responde a um contexto preciso em que etnias indígenas da América Latina assumem um protagonismo geopolítico, obrigando a esquerda tradicional do continente a rever seus dogmas sobre o estatuto da produção, do desenvolvimento, do próprio Estado. Ao traçar uma ponte entre a sociedade sem Estado vislumbrada por Marx e a sociedade ...
