Summary:
Accounts of decolonization routinely neglect Indigenous societies, yet Native communities have made unique contributions to anticolonial thought and activism. ''Remapping sovereignty'' examines how twentieth-century Indigenous activists in North America debated questions of decolonization and self-determination, developing distinctive conceptual approaches that both resonate with and reformulate key strands in other civil rights and global decolonization movements. In contrast to decolonization projects that envisioned liberation through state sovereignty, Indigenous theorists emphasized the self-determination of peoples against sovereign state supremacy and articulated a visionary politics of decolonization as earthmaking. Temin traces the interplay between anticolonial thought and practice across key thinkers, interweaving history and textual analysis. He shows how these insights broaden the political and intellectual horizons open to us today.

Summary:
Though sometimes overlooked and underestimated, rural space has played a substantial role in social, cultural, economic, and ideological change. This role can be studied by looking at the re/production of spatial agents that were caused by direct or indirect political interventions in rural communities. In this book, scholars looking at case studies from Greece, Turkey, Italy, Portugal, and Austria discuss the making of identity in and through rural areas, which have dramatically changed under different political, social, and economic conditions from the turn of the 20th century up until today. By focusing on potential contestations of such changes, the authors provide a better in-depth understanding of spatial dynamics related to cultural and social spheres of 20th-century rurality.

Summary:
This is the book that Canadians must read to understand, and solve, our housing crisis. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians exist on the edge. Renters fear eviction, homeowners feel trapped, and both are vulnerable to becoming homeless with a single stroke of misfortune. Unaffordable housing in Canada is tearing communities apart. Rising prices force long-time residents to move elsewhere, while established businesses are forced to close their doors because they cannot find staff who can afford to live nearby. In "Home truths", housing expert Carolyn Whitzman explores Canada’s crisis from all sides, including defining what adequate housing looks like, explaining why nonmarket housing is crucial for Canada, and outlining how and why to tackle ever-growing wealth disparities between renters and those who own.

Summary:
Shifting away from the celebration of greenhouses as technical mastery and exceptional architectural feats, "Greenhouse stories" is an invitation to critically look at greenhouses as controversial (agri)cultural production tools. Re-examining them from a social, historical, environmental and creative perspective, the essays and interviews featured in this book highlight stories of vegetal displacement, colonial appropriation and pollution. Yet they also help us to understand that greenhouses can be fertile spaces for women's empowerment and the nurturing of socially-engaged and eco-conscious projects. At a time of great anthropocentric pressure on the planet, we believe that questioning the greenhouse as a symbol and a tool can help us re-establish more humble and meaningful connections with the Earth and its living communities.

Summary:
It’s the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver and later transformed into a synagogue. It’s also the story of a row of modest two-up, two-down houses in Toxteth, a block of flats in London’s East End, and what Ideal Home magazine in 1926 called Britain’s "first modern house" — in Northampton. Together, these buildings reveal how(...)

It’s also the story of a row of modest two-up, two-down houses in Toxteth, a block of flats in London’s East End, and what Ideal Home magazine in 1926 called Britain’s "first modern house" — in Northampton. Together, these buildings reveal how English homes have evolved and adapted over the past few centuries. At the same time, as historian Dan Cruickshank shows, they offer intimate glimpses into the lives of their first occupants — their ambitions, hardships, and place within their communities. "The English House" masterfully intertwines architectural and social history, creating a vivid and deeply human portrait of the spaces that have shaped English life.

Summary:
SYSTEMS gives the first comprehensive overview of Jeanne van Heeswijk’s socially engaged artistic practice from the past decade. The book presents models for the design of social spaces as well as directions for the analysis of social structures. The first chapter is dedicated to the games people play. Games are rehearsals of social interactions; they simulate reality and are open to experimentation; their rules establish limits within which freedom of action is possible. The second chapter investigates rooms people inhabit, i.e. the urban structures of social cohabitation. Here, external reference points of social conditioning can be found. The third chapter deals with the communities people create, as structures of individual, artistic positioning. With texts by Carlos Basualdo, Marjolein Schaap and Axel Lapp.

Summary:
Human societies have always been deeply interconnected with our ecosystems, but today those relationships are witnessing greater frictions, tensions, and harms than ever before. These dynamics mirror those experienced by marginalized communities across the planet, but they also provide a foundation for transformative thinking and action to address these challenges. In this updated edition of his innovative contribution, David Naguib Pellow introduces a new framework for critically analyzing Environmental Justice scholarship and activism. In doing so he extends the field’s focus to topics not usually associated with environmental justice, including policing, incarceration, the Israel/Palestine conflict, and the Black Lives Matter movement, revealing that ecological violence is first and foremost a form of social violence, driven by and legitimated by social structures and discourses.
