Summary:
This book starts with the premise that waste is inevitable in human society—and ends with a meditation on its inevitability. The Idea of Waste explores how we have grappled with both the material reality and the specter of this shapeshifting phenomenon throughout history—utilizing it, dreaming of overcoming it, yet never escaping it. John Scanlan explores what waste is and why it seems to be intrinsic to human life, at every turn, in every age and epoch. Finally, he demonstrates how waste never disappears, but rather only proliferates anew. Scanlan’s compelling narrative shows waste to be both an enduring material consequence of human activity and an idea or state of being.

The project builds on oral histories with more than thirty movement organizers—from AIDS, queer, trade union, community, Occupy, and harm reduction-based movements—reflecting on the lessons, meanings, and future directions of movements and collective organizing efforts. "There is a hunger for radical history – to give credit to past struggles, to learn from our mistakes and to improve our strategies for the future," writes Lesley Wood. Oral histories trace the stories of these movements. The book goes in depth into the reasons and ways the interviewees became involved in activism, the friendships they formed, and the conflicts they faced.

Summary:
Choice touches virtually every aspect of our lives, from what to buy and where to live to whom to love, what profession to practice, and even what to believe. But the option to choose in such matters was not something we always possessed or even aspired to. At the same time, we have been warned by everybody from marketing gurus to psychologists about the negative consequences stemming from our current obsession with choice. It turns out that not only are we not very good at realizing our personal desires, we are also overwhelmed with too many possibilities and anxious about what best to select. There are social costs too. How did all this happen? "The age of choice" tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom.

Summary:
Les médias sont saturés d’images déshumanisantes que le discours dominant associe à une prétendue «crise migratoire». Or cette crise n’est que le résultat inévitable de la colonisation, la mondialisation capitaliste et des dérèglements climatiques. L’imputer à celles et ceux qui font les frais de l’exploitation et de l’extractivisme est une façon d’exonérer les vrais responsables et permet de justifier le renforcement militaire des frontières, de diviser la classe ouvrière internationale, de criminaliser les migrants et de consolider la domination de la classe dirigeante. Ce livre dissèque la frontière comme méthode intrinsèque au processus de formation de l’État, de hiérarchisation sociale, de contrôle de la main-d’œuvre et de promotion de nationalismes xénophobes. En étudiant les cas de différents pays d’Amérique, d’Europe, d’Asie et d’Océanie, l’autrice dénonce les politiques migratoires et appelle à l’action. S’appuyant sur le travail de politologues et de journalistes, elle donne aussi à lire les témoignages de personnes migrantes pour offrir cette synthèse salutaire et nécessaire des combats menés partout dans le monde pour l’abolition des frontières.

Car être fatiqué·e, c’est être occupé·e, et regarder nos fatigues, c’est affronter notre rapport au temps. Pourquoi sommes-nous à ce point épuisé·e·s ? Certaines fatigues nous dépassent-elles ? Avons-nous un peu de prise sur elles ? L’autrice, «fatiguée depuis l’enfance», cherche à répondre à ces questions et en profite pour parler de parentalité, de luttes et de vêtements mous.
