By the time Coke was detained, somewhere between seventy-five and two hundred civilians had been killed. In Political Life in the Wake of the Plantation, Deborah A. Thomas uses the incursion as a point of departure for theorizing the roots of contemporary state violence in Jamaica and in post-plantation societies in general. Drawing on visual, oral historical, and colonial archives, Thomas traces the long-term legacies of the plantation system and how its governing logics continue to shape and replicate forms of violence. She places affect at the center of sovereignty to destabilize disembodied narratives of liberalism and progress and to raise questions about recognition, repair, and accountability. In tying theories of politics, colonialism, race, and affect together with Jamaica's history, Thomas presents a robust framework for understanding what it means to be human in the plantation's wake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46792482160970,"sku":"9781478006695","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5474\/2858\/products\/9781478006695.jpg?v=1685526611"},{"product_id":"time-binds","title":"Time Binds. Queer Temporalities, Queer Histories.","description":"\u003cp\u003eTime Binds is a powerful argument that temporal and sexual dissonance are intertwined, and that the writing of history can be both embodied and erotic. Challenging queer theory’s recent emphasis on loss and trauma, Elizabeth Freeman foregrounds bodily pleasure in the experience and representation of time as she interprets an eclectic archive of queer literature, film, video, and art. She examines work by visual artists who emerged in a commodified, “postfeminist,” and “postgay” world. Yet they do not fully accept the dissipation of political and critical power implied by the idea that various political and social battles have been won and are now consigned to the past. By privileging temporal gaps and narrative detours in their work, these artists suggest ways of putting the past into meaningful, transformative relation with the present. Such “queer asynchronies” provide opportunities for rethinking historical consciousness in erotic terms, thereby countering the methods of traditional and Marxist historiography. Central to Freeman’s argument are the concepts of chrononormativity, the use of time to organize individual human bodies toward maximum productivity; temporal drag, the visceral pull of the past on the supposedly revolutionary present; and erotohistoriography, the conscious use of the body as a channel for and means of understanding the past.

Taylor charts the theorization of coalition in the work of Bernice Johnson Reagon, Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith, the Combahee River Collective, Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, and others. For these activist-scholars, coalition is a dangerous struggle that emerges from a shared political commitment to undermining oppression and an emphasis on self-transformation. Taylor shows how their coalitional understandings of group politics, identity, consciousness, and scholarship have transformed how activists and theorists build alliances across race, class, gender, sexuality, faith, and ethnicity to tackle systems of domination. Their coalitional politics enrich current discussions surrounding the impetus and longevity of effective activism, present robust theoretical accounts of political subject formation and political consciousness, and demonstrate the promise of collective modes of scholarship. In this way, women of color feminists have been formulating solutions to long-standing problems in political theory. By illustrating coalition’s vitality to a variety of practical and philosophical interdisciplinary discussions, Taylor encourages us to rethink feminist and political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46792493498698,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5474\/2858\/products\/9781478019152.jpg?v=1685526800"},{"product_id":"ixiptla-5","title":"Ixiptla 5","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe word \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eamarantus, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhich gives name to this publication, comes from the Greek \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eaμάρανθος\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and describes a flower that never wilts.

When someone says pree, it is not a request; it is a gentle command that the listener take notice of something or someone new, important, significant. Listen to a song: ‘\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epree dis\u003c\/em\u003e.’ Look at a prospective lover: ‘\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epree dat\u003c\/em\u003e.’ Hear this story: ‘\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epree wah me a seh\u003c\/em\u003e.’ And when Jamaicans encounter an amazing new online literary magazine: ‘\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emy dawg, yuh affi pree di ting deh\u003c\/em\u003e’ (OK, that last one\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enuh set\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eyet, but it will!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo how did pree get to be a word with so much meaning?\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePree\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003emy words as I take you through a brief history\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver the last few months I pestered quite a few people about the roots of the word pree and in doing so I inadvertently took a ‘Frank Sinatra Has a Cold’ investigative approach to my etymological study. In my own memory, I recalled the seemingly overnight increase in pree usage in dancehall since 2005 or so. But who was the first dancehall artiste to record the word? I cannot say. In fact, no one I spoke with had any date-specific answers. Some said ‘pree is just a word we use.’ Some said ‘pree derived from the slang word\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eprips\u003c\/em\u003e.’ Prips – as in ‘\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecome mek mi prips you on waah gwaan\u003c\/em\u003e’ – is a word used in Jamaica (Kingston more specifically) – to describe the sharing of previously unknown information. One informal interviewee suggested that pree emerged ‘sometime ago’ as an elongation of the beginning sound of prips, such that prips was stretched for exaggerated effect into ‘priiiiiiiiiiiips’ then shortened to\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epree\u003c\/u\u003e. I liked this suggestion. It seemed plausible, but it was just one of several proposals regarding the word’s origin. Another person proclaimed that pree simply identifies the ‘earliness’ of the information, as in: ‘when you pree, you know\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edi ting\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efirst.’ Again, plausible.

The book focuses on the complex geography of Israel\/ Palestine, where borders and the nature of political statehood remain unresolved. The title Between States refers to the unfinished political nature of this area, while also describing the condition of in-between-ness defined by the book itself as it shifts from artistic concerns to more explicitly political subjects. This in-between-ness also relates to the complex spatial relationships between the UK, Israel, and the West Bank that were involved in the development of the dialogue between the two authors. Between States is made up of a set of textual and visual fragments that move the reader between different forms of representation and knowledge: from paintings to photographic images and from texts involving varying degrees of abstraction to first-person accounts of places and events. The uncertainty that defines the political conditions explored through these different forms is echoed in the sense of uncertainty created by the overall format of the book.

Set in the declining textile industry of the North of England, it is a raw story of pain and anger at the relentlessness of British racism, from the street to the state – a story of an unquenchable desire for justice, and reclaiming human dignity. A dignity that is wrapped around new questions of Identity, a crossroad between religion, language, history and resistance. It is a little big story, that talks to the extremities of social, political and literary issues today? Can stories of a generation be appropriated? How important is religion in identity? If all you have is a story to tell, who should you tell it? Are the issues of today, just the issues of today or can we learn something from the past? In these stories, friendship is not defined by religion or colour, but by humanity. And racism is much more than skin deep. It is an exhilarating read that bears witness to the urgent 80’s battles against state and popular racism. As important now as then. In this new edition, Mehmood provides a Foreword that describes how the novel came to be written and the lives of real people on whom the characters were created. In the Afterword, Mehmood revisits some of the characters who are now 40-years older, and reflects on how the book would have been written today where the conditions of mass mobilizations no longer exist in neoliberal Britain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Archive Souq","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48664397906250,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5474\/2858\/files\/9ngrpk-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1717618855"},{"product_id":"brazils-dance-with-the-devil-the-world-cup-the-olympics-and-the-fight-for-democracy","title":"Brazil's Dance with the Devil The World Cup, the Olympics, and the Fight for Democracy","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"People think speaking truth to power is easy, but if it was easy everyone would do it.

It was conceived as a gimmick and a publicity stunt in the vein of the Harlem Globetrotters. He recruited women to compete as a traveling football troupe; much to his surprise, he learned that women really wanted to play—and play hard. Hail Mary is the story of the unlikely rise of the National Women's Football League and the players who loved a game that society told them they shouldn't be playing. In nineteen cities around the country, against the backdrop of second-wave feminism and the passage of Title IX, these athletes broke new barriers and showed adoring crowds what women were capable of physically. Thousands of people came to watch—perhaps to gawk at first but then, in the end, to cheer. Hail Mary is a rollicking chronicle of fearless women-players on the Detroit Demons, the Toledo Troopers, the LA Dandelions, and more—bringing us into the stadiums where they broke records, the small-town lesbian bars where they were recruited, and the backrooms where the league was conceived, and where it ended.

As the first and last bronze monument to be produced entirely in Suriname, these predominantly black and white photographs show the process of building an infrastructure from the ground up for large-scale bronze casting done in Suriname with the help of the Reli company. As the grandson of the artist, this photo album was instrumental in my early artistic development and eventual pursuit of art as a profession. It provided insight into the possibilities and intricacies of artmaking as a child growing up in Suriname in the nineties. The scale and technical innovations of the work, fueled by the determination, stamina, and political engagement of my grandparents, inspired me, and continues to inspire me to this day. Fifty years after the unveiling of the statue of Pengel, I wish to preserve this hitherto private family photo album, with supporting archival materials, as this facsimile, identical in format to its source, and offer it as a historical document of Stuart Robles de Medina’s life’s work as an artist and educator. “Listen, this is not part of the MO-course [middle school teacher training course], but I want to pass on this knowledge,” he recalled telling his students, during a f ilmed interview in 2005, a year before his death. It is a brief yet telling moment, in which he states explicitly his intentions toward the end of his life, of passing on these methods and ideas. The idea of conserving this photo album, which laid in his lap as he spoke in the video, then, is implicit here. Considering the generosity of his recorded retelling and willingness to participate in the filmed interview, supporting Gerard Lau in his plan to make a documentary (which never materialized), the conservation of his artistic legacy indeed might have been on his mind. Perhaps it can be inferred from my offering of an English translation, the intended audience here is not limited to Suriname. My hope is that this information spreads also within the international contemporary art community for whom the work of Stuart Robles de Medina, and this story, may be even more novel. Lau’s unpublished filmed interview with my grandfather from 2005, and a conversation I recorded with my grandmother, Barbara Robles de Medina-Nobrega, and my father, Amedeo Robles de Medina, in July 2023, form the basis for the texts included in this document. I have transcribed and edited these first-hand accounts concerning the development of the sculpture with the primary intention of balancing clarity with fidelity to what was originally recorded. These accounts are essential to understanding the photographic material and paint a vivid image of the socio-political complexities surrounding the sculpture’s creation. The myriad meanings of this family story have shifted in personal significance over time, but the through-line is something elemental to the story of Surinamese democracy, and the union of art and political activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXavier Robles de Medina, November 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emore info \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.coykoibooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/149_Xavier_Pengel_Press-Release-Coy-Koi-Books-1.pdf\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"coy koi books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48802614477130,"sku":"9783000775253","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5474\/2858\/files\/Bildschirmfoto2024-07-03um15.30.48.png?v=1720013792"},{"product_id":"my-body-is-a-reincarnated-population","title":"My Body Is a Reincarnated Population","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeart.

Drawing on the history and ethnography of the trans communal life in Istanbul, Zengin develops an understanding of cisheteronormative violence that expands beyond sex, gender and sexuality. She shows how cisheteronormativity forms a connective tissue among neoliberal governmentality, biopolitical and necropolitical regimes, nationalist religiosity and authoritarian management of social difference. As much as trans people are shaped by these processes, they also transform them in intimate ways. Transness in Turkey provides an insightful site for developing new perspectives on statecraft, securitization and surveillance, family and kin-making, urban geography, and political life. Zengin offers the concept of violent intimacies to theorize this entangled world of the trans everyday where violence and intimacy are co-constitutive. Violent intimacies emerge from trans people’s everyday interactions with the police, religious and medical institutions, street life, family and kinship, and trans femicides and funerals. The dynamic of violent intimacies prompts new understandings of violence and intimacy and the world-making struggles of trans people in a Middle Eastern context.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Duke UP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49125133943114,"sku":"9781478025627","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5474\/2858\/files\/ViolentIntimacies.jpg?v=1725031712"},{"product_id":"the-arts-of-daoism","title":"The Arts of Daoism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eIF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK AT A REDUCED RATE OF 28$ INCLUDING SHIPPING\/POSTAGE TO ANY LOCATION, PLEASE VISIT OUR SHOP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: https:\/\/purplecloudinstitute.com\/product\/the-arts-of-daoism\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Arts of Daoism \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epresents a set of key lectures on some of the major arts and practices of Daoism by a contemporary Daoist priest and master, Li Shifu, the Abbot of Five Immortals Temple in the Wu dang mountains in China.
