They Didn't Come. They Were Sent. You were told the border collapsed because the government was incompetent. The truth is worse. It didn't fail. It was opened —on purpose. Twelve million people in four years. That wasn't chaos. It was a plan. History has seen this before. Rome. Dictators who turned people into weapons. Conquering a nation through its own border is one of history's oldest strategies —and, this audiobook argues, it is happening again. The Great Betrayal examines how a political class reshaped the country without asking the people who live in it.

March 6th, 1957 was a night like no other. Across the newly minted nation of Ghana, celebrations erupted as the Gold Coast shook off the shackles of British rule to become the first independent black African nation, led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The air was electric with joy, the kind of joy that comes only once in a lifetime. I was still a young Achimota student—just shy of 17—at the time. The Overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah: It would etch itself into the annals of Ghana’s history.

O conceito de Cidades Inteligentes (ou Smart Cities) está ganhando espaço e se tornando cada vez mais relevante para agentes públicos, empresas privadas e cidadãos por um motivo muito simples: cidades mais inteligentes são capazes de se adaptar aos movimentos da sociedade e resolver os grandes problemas urbanos.

With her characteristic brilliance, grace, and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration," and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.

The Great Recession, institutional dysfunction, a growing divide between urban and rural prospects, and failed efforts to effectively address immigration have paved the way for a populist backlash that disrupts the postwar bargain between political elites and citizens. Whether today's populism represents a corrective to unfair and obsolete policies or a threat to liberal democracy remains up for debate. To respond to today's crisis, good leaders must strive for inclusive economic growth while addressing social and cultural issues, including demographic anxiety, with frank attention. 

Border and Rule explores a number of seemingly disparate global geographies with shared logics of border rule that displace, immobilize, criminalize, exploit, and expel migrants and refugees. With her keen ability to connect the dots, Harsha Walia demonstrates how borders divide the international working class and consolidate imperial, capitalist, and racist nationalist rule.

As the data economy grows in power, Carissa Véliz exposes how our privacy is eroded by big tech and governments, why that matters and what we can do about it. The moment you check your phone in the morning you are giving away your data. Before you've even switched off your alarm, a whole host of organisations have been alerted to when you woke up, where you slept and with whom. As you check the weather, scroll through your 'suggested friends' on Facebook, you continually compromise your privacy.

Over the past 10 years, urban planners, technology companies, and governments have promoted smart cities with a somewhat utopian vision of urban life made knowable and manageable through data collection and analysis. Emerging smart cities have become both crucibles and showrooms for the practical application of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and the integration of big data into everyday life. Are smart cities optimized, sustainable, digitally networked solutions to urban problems? Or are they neoliberal, corporate-controlled, undemocratic non-places?
