Résumé:
''The political ecology of education'' examines the opportunities for and constraints on advancing food sovereignty in the 17 de Abril settlement, a community born out of a massacre of landless Brazilian workers in 1996. Based on immersive fieldwork over the course of seven years, David Meek makes the provocative argument that critical forms of food systems education are integral to agrarian social movements’ survival. While the need for critical approaches is especially immediate in the Amazon, Meek’s study speaks to the burgeoning attention to food systems education at various educational levels worldwide, from primary to postgraduate programs. His book calls us to rethink the politics of the possible within these pedagogies.

Résumé:
Brazil is a country of extreme inequalities, one of the most important of which is the acute concentration of rural land ownership. In recent decades, however, poor landless workers have mounted a major challenge to this state of affairs. A broad grassroots social movement led by the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) has mobilized hundreds of thousands of families to pressure authorities for land reform through mass protest. This book explores the evolution of the landless movement from its birth during the twilight years of Brazil's military dictatorship through the first government of Luiz In cio Lula da Silva. It uses this case to test a number of major theoretical perspectives on social movements and engages in a critical dialogue with both contemporary political opportunity theory and Mancur Olson's classic economic theory of collective action.

Résumé:
Linda Lainé et Jean Viard ont réuni et fusionné leurs ouvrages récents sur le voyage et le tourisme pour s'interroger ensemble : le tourisme va-t-il enfin sortir de sa longue croissance continue pour devenir une politique publique, avec des choix, des stratégies, des engagements écologiques et un projet social et culturel ? Le laisser-faire qui mène à des crispations ponctuelles, des embouteillages, du surtourisme peut-il être remplacé par une gouvernance qui améliore la vie des habitants des régions touristiques, le bien-être des voyageurs et diminue l'impact écologique de ces millions de voyageurs souvent passionnés ? Et le monde des professionnels de l'accueil, de l'accompagnement et du service peut-il vivre décemment de ces métiers et en retirer plaisir et fierté? L'objet de ce livre est de présenter une réflexion de fond sur le rôle positif du voyage dans notre époque troublée ainsi que de nombreuses analyses de cas concrets et de politiques locales innovantes.

Résumé:
Changing the world is difficult. One reason is that the most important problems, like climate change, racism, and poverty, are structural. They emerge from our collective practices: laws, economies, history, culture, norms, and built environments. The dilemma is that there is no way to make structural change without individual people making different—more structure-facing—decisions. In ''Somebody Should Do Something'', Michael Brownstein, Alex Madva, and Daniel Kelly show us how we can connect our personal choices to structural change and why individual choices matter, though not in the way people usually think. The authors paint a new picture of how social change happens, arguing that our most powerful personal choices are those that springboard us into working together with others—warehouse worker Chris Smalls’s unionization at Amazon is one powerful example. Taking inspiration from the writer Bill McKibben, they stress how one “important thing an individual can do is be somewhat less of an individual.”

Résumé:
Vieillir en ville est loin d’être simple. La précarité des personnes vieillissantes, souvent dépendantes de revenus fixes ou mal indexés, s’accroît. La crise du logement et la hausse du coût de la vie les frappent durement, sans parler du manque d’accessibilité des soins à domicile, rares et souvent trop coûteux. Les politiques publiques font la promotion de leur maintien dans leur milieu de vie et dans la communauté, mais dans les faits, les besoins restent immenses. Cet ouvrage plonge au coeur du problème en analysant la précarité résidentielle de locataires âgés de quartiers montréalais en pleine gentrification. À mi-chemin entre ouvrage anthropologique, enquête journalistique et manuel de gérontologie sociale critique, Julien Simard illustre concrètement les dynamiques d’exclusion sociale et donne à voir les tactiques de résistance et d’agentivité de ces gens qui font face à un véritable processus de mise à l’écart.

Résumé:
Hey culture worker! Are you feeling alone and afraid while the world burns? "It’s Too Late. Do It Anyway!" is two books in one, created for cultural workers who want to get off the racial capitalist high-speed-train-to-nowhere and start structuring revolution through collective care. "It’s Too Late. Do It Anyway!" offers two routes into a fractal support network designed to shed absurd, useless forms of artworld prestige in favor of collectively producing a world organized to support caregivers. "It’s Too Late" tells the true story of an exhibition about care that exposed the difference between making symbolic gestures and actually doing something. "Do It Anyway!" serves as a manual for The Hologram, a prism-shaped collective care protocol conceptualized by artist Cassie Thornton, inspired by the Social Solidarity Clinic of Thessaloniki in Greece, and now practiced by people all over the world.

Résumé:
ove & Lightning: A Collection of Queer and Feminist Manifestos is a thematically ordered, inconclusive collection of queer, feminist and queer-feminist manifestos. Girls Like Us Magazine and author Sarah van Binsbergen have composed a publication showcasing the different forms a manifesto might have, from classical, activist formats to more poetic, associative texts. The manifestos highlighted in this book cross borders, forms and disciplines, refuse binary logics, transcend our concepts of time and space and surpass the neoliberal logic. Love & Lightning does not claim to be a complete anthology, but it rather aims to show the myriad of ways manifestos can be composed, and what their legacy until this day is. It presents manifestos from 1851 until now, divided into eleven chapters, introduced in their socio-historical and geographical contexts, with many from Asia, Africa, Latin-America. Not only does this publication give new insight in the style of the manifesto, it aims to emancipate the reader to propose their own revolution, whether big or small.

Avec autant d’humour que de tendresse, les deux voix retracent ensemble le chemin fragile de la joie comme permission, comme désobéissance, comme moteur de résistance. Architectures de la joie est un grand livre, conduit avec une subtilité minutieuse, qui contribue à élucider à travers mille petites beautés rescapées une des questions inhérentes à notre époque : la joie est-elle possible ?

Résumé:
What happens when politics is everywhere, yet nothing seems to change? From the abandoned dance floors of Thatcher’s London to the mass mobilizations of Black Lives Matter, Anton Jäger traces how public life has become infused with protest, spectacle, and moral urgency — while the old infrastructure of parties, unions, and civic solidarity has been hollowed out. "Hyperpolitics" revisits the illusions of the "end of history" and dissects the strange energies that replaced them: viral outrage, endless culture wars, and the digital rush of causes that flare and vanish overnight. Jäger shows how the promises of post–Cold War liberalism gave way to a restless, unsteady public sphere where private passions overflow into politics but rarely build enduring power.
