Summary:
Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of the trailblazing restaurant Mother Courage of New York City, "Ingredients for revolution" is the first history of the more than 230 feminist and lesbian-feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses that existed in the United States from 1972 to the present. As key sites of cultural and political significance, this volume shows the essential role these institutions served for multiple social justice movements including women’s liberation, LGBTQ equality, and food justice, as well as for training women workers and entrepreneurs. This systematic study outlines the crucial steps it took to establish these businesses during eras when sexism was so institutionalized it was difficult for unmarried women to obtain a bank loan, while also showing the continuities and influences of past businesses on contemporary places. Through an examination of important establishments across America, Alex Ketchum first examines the foundational principles behind these businesses, noting key differences between cooperative, for-profit, and non-profit models. She then looks to issues of financing, labour, pay, food sourcing, and cultural programming to understand how these organizations reconciled feminist beliefs with capitalism and how they strove for more equitable and sustainable business practices. Brimming with illuminating archival research, interviews with influential restaurateurs, and illustrated with photographs, menus, posters, and calendars, "Ingredients for revolution" is a fundamental work of women’s history, food history, and cultural history.

Summary:
In this radical book, architects, historians, and theorists survey the inventive, low cost work being done in obscure places to make architecture into a force for sustainable growth and social justice. The efforts are Utopian not charitable in aim. This new breed of architect-activists is endeavoring to diversify if not reinvent their profession by engaging in an "exchange" of ideas, techniques, and visions of right living with people almost always relegated to silence and invisibility. The book opens with a range of theoretical essays, each specially commissioned, from "the site of the social" in architecture to John Hejduk's legacy, as well as five ways to change the world with Chris Marker's films. Subsequent essays form a field guide to "exchange" projects from Harlem to Port-au-Prince to Serekunda and Indore, a few still unbuilt, all virtually unknown to students of architecture. Jae Cha, Peter Clegg, Simón Vélez, and famed modernist Balkrishna Doshi demonstrate the benefits of easily found and/or scavenged materials, including bamboo. Other essays present varied alternatives to ghettoizing large groups in bleak housing complexes and urban "deserts" in architecture.

Quel est l'héritage de Pierre Bourdieu aujourd'hui ? Quel apport son oeuvre fournit-elle à l'élaboration contemporaine de nouvelles théories et de nouvelles politiques ? La pensée de l'auteur de La distinction continue à servir de point d'ancrage à ceux qui entendent fournir des instruments de réflexion et de critique de la réalité. Chacun à leur manière, les auteurs de ce recueil montre à quel point Pierre Bourdieu constitue une source inépuisable pour aborder des sujets aussi divers et actuels que la domination et la reproduction sociale, les rapports de classe, les théories de la reconnaissance et de la justice, l'amour et l'amitié, les luttes et les mouvements sociaux, la politique et la démocratie, etc. Ces textes s'efforcent de mettre au jour ce que Pierre Bourdieu a rendu pensable et visible bien au-delà de la sociologie, c'est-à-dire dans tous les espaces de la création : la littérature, l'art, l'histoire ou encore la philosophie. Faire vivre Bourdieu, ce n'est pas seulement faire vivre une doctrine. C'est avant tout réactiver une attitude : l'insoumission.

Summary:
A historical and philosophical exploration of the impact of design on underserved communities, examining the field’s shortcomings as well as its potential to create positive change. Through essays that delve into history and practice, and case studies that demonstrate practical strategies, "Design against racism" explores how designers of all disciplines can address, through their work, the legacies of racism and oppression. Design profoundly influences culture. The heart of this book is its powerful blend of essays on design history, illustrated case studies, and discussions of practical methods to approach design work, adapted from the restorative justice movement. It explores how design as a professional practice and academic discipline directly affects historically excluded communities, offering frameworks and examples that foster collective improvement.

Cest à ces questions, et à bien dautres encore, que cet ouvrage, fruit dune immersion de près de dix années dans les mondes du squat, propose de répondre. Avec rigueur et sensibilité, accordant une large place aux témoignages et aux récits ethnographiques, Florence Bouillon prend le contrepied de bien des idées reçues. Elle montre dabord avec force que le squat est le produit de la spéculation immobilière et des insuffisances du droit au logement. Mais le squat ne peut être seulement saisi par défaut : loin de nêtre quun logement illégal, il constitue un refuge, un domicile, un espace de solidarités. Quant aux squatteurs, couramment décrits comme des « inutiles au monde », ils savèrent capables de mobiliser des compétences relationnelles, cognitives et urbaines insoupçonnées. Ainsi lauteure affirme-t-elle la nécessité dune approche dialectique des mondes de la vulnérabilité, articulant processus de désaffiliation et dynamiques de résistance. Ce livre captivera tous ceux quintéressent les questions du droit au logement et à la ville, les problématiques de justice sociale, de pauvreté et dinégalités.

Summary:
What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? ''Let This Radicalize You" is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe. Longtime organizers and movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes examine some of the political lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the convergence of mass protest and mass formations of mutual aid, and consider what this confluence of power can teach us about a future that will require mass acts of care, rescue and defense, in the face of both state violence and environmental disaster. The book is intended to aid and empower activists and organizers as they attempt to map their own journeys through the work of justice-making. It includes insights from a spectrum of experienced organizers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos Saavedra, Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore about some of the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their work.

Summary:
On the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023, Melani McAlister began to use her journal to track the rapid development of the conflict and the parallel evolution in the ways it was represented in the US media. Drawing on McAlister’s decades of experience as a scholar of US–Middle East relations, as well as her personal history in activism, this incisive and dynamic text traces the devastating development of the current war in real time, identifying echoes with previous moments in the history of the region and the protests and artistic responses they prompted. This series of meditations explores the enduring power of narrative and memory, threading throughout the work of Arab and Arab American poets and musicians to tell a story of Palestinian resistance and resilience. ''Promises, Then the Storm'' is a reflection on the significance of Palestinian liberation at a moment when it has never been more urgently at stake – one that reckons with possibilities for justice and equality and the hopes carried by activists and artists, against all odds, into the future.

Summary:
''Pathways to Utopia'' explores how Brazil's ''Landless Workers Movement'' (''Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra", or MST), against all odds, has endured for forty years as one of the world's largest social movements—while transforming the way we understand the temporality of activism. Taking his cue from MST members and their generational struggle for land and justice, anthropologist Alex Ungprateeb Flynn reveals how the movement's longevity stems not only from its strong organization and collective vision but also from the productive tensions between established utopian ideals and emerging counter-utopian practices. Perceived by some as a shortcoming, this friction has proven to be a generative force, sparking creative gestures that reimagine social relations and ensuring the MST's adaptability in an ever-changing political landscape. Flynn chronicles the everyday lives of families navigating an extraordinary political reality over a fifteen-year period. At the heart of ''Pathways to Utopia'' is the realization that activism is not a momentary act but an ongoing, relational practice—one where even the smallest community actions reverberate, reshaping the very structures through which people seek to change the world.

Summary:
La crise sanitaire de 2020-2022 a révélé la fragilité des modèles touristiques basés sur une croissance illimitée et a mis en évidence la nécessité d’une approche systémique pour concilier les intérêts économiques, la protection de l’environnement et la justice sociale. Le tourisme, longtemps perçu comme un moteur de développement, a-t-il encore sa place dans un monde marqué par des crises environnementales et sociales croissantes ? Peut-on réinventer le secteur pour qu’il devienne un vecteur de transformation durable et responsable ? Cet ouvrage collectif répond à ces questions en explorant les enjeux contemporains du tourisme, notamment la crise climatique, les inégalités économiques et les défis mondiaux. À travers neuf chapitres, les autrices et les auteurs abordent des thèmes tels que la décroissance, le « tourisme de masse éclairé » et le postdéveloppement. L’ouvrage interroge le modèle de développement actuel, qui repose sur une exploitation sans fin des ressources naturelles et sociales. Il s’adresse à toute personne cherchant à comprendre les limites du modèle actuel et le rôle du tourisme, et invite à une approche plus relationnelle du tourisme, intégrant les perspectives locales et globales. Il urge de redéfinir notre rapport au monde naturel, en réévaluant notre place et nos liens avec les territoires. Postdéveloppement et tourisme : la dernière chance ? ouvre la voie à un tourisme plus responsable et conscient, porteur d’un avenir respectueux des êtres humains et non humains.

Le tourisme, longtemps perçu comme un moteur de développement, a-t-il encore sa place dans un monde marqué par des crises environnementales et sociales croissantes ? Peut-on réinventer le secteur pour qu’il devienne un vecteur de transformation durable et responsable ? Cet ouvrage collectif répond à ces questions en explorant les enjeux contemporains du tourisme, notamment la crise climatique, les inégalités économiques et les défis mondiaux. À travers neuf chapitres, les autrices et les auteurs abordent des thèmes tels que la décroissance, le « tourisme de masse éclairé » et le postdéveloppement. L’ouvrage interroge le modèle de développement actuel, qui repose sur une exploitation sans fin des ressources naturelles et sociales. Il s’adresse à toute personne cherchant à comprendre les limites du modèle actuel et le rôle du tourisme, et invite à une approche plus relationnelle du tourisme, intégrant les perspectives locales et globales. Il urge de redéfinir notre rapport au monde naturel, en réévaluant notre place et nos liens avec les territoires. Postdéveloppement et tourisme : la dernière chance ? ouvre la voie à un tourisme plus responsable et conscient, porteur d’un avenir respectueux des êtres humains et non humains.
