Local Civil Society
Epdf and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Drawing on place-based field investigations and new empirical analysis, this original book investigates civil society at local level. The concept of civil society is contested and multifaceted, and this text offers assessment and clarification of debates concerning the intertwining of civil society, the state and local community relations. Analysing two Welsh villages, the authors examine the importance of identity, connection with place and the impact of social and spatial boundaries on the everyday production of civil society. Bringing into focus questions of biography and temporality, the book provides an innovative account of continuities and changes within local civil society during social and economic transformation.

Nation, Class and Resentment
This timely book provides an extensive account of national identities in three of the constituent nations of the United Kingdom: Wales, Scotland and England. In all three contexts, identity and nationalism have become questions of acute interest in both academic and political commentary. The authors take stock of a wealth of empirical material and explore how attitudes to nation and state can be understood by relating them to changes in contemporary capitalist economies, and the consequences for particular class fractions. The book argues that these changes give rise to a set of resentments among people who perceive themselves to be losing out, concluding that class resentments, depending on historical and political factors relevant to each nation, can take the form of either sub-state nationalism or right wing populism. Nation, Class and Resentment shows that the politics of resentment is especially salient in England, where the promotion of a distinct national identity is problematic. Students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology and politics, will find this study of interest.

Southern Cross
Southern Cross paints a spectacularly terrifying picture of a dystopian world; one of deepening inequalities, brutal regimes, and unbridled corporate dominance. Robin Mann, a solitary and disaffected company executive, is drawn into a beguiling group of radicals committed to altering the trajectory of the world. But their extraordinary talents and uncompromising methods test Robin's commitment and pose profound moral questions about resistance and how far he is prepared to go. Fast, fearless and wildly imaginative, Southern Cross is like Albert Camus' alienated outsider thrown into the heart of the Baader-Meinhof project. This is a boundary-less, expansive journey in science fiction like none other that you will read.
