Как строить отношения с властями, не превратившись в один из винтиков системы и сохранив себя? Циклы истории повторяются, и человеческие судьбы в ней — тоже. Ошибки людей, живших в переломные эпохи прошлого, могут стать уроком и предостережением для нас. Усвоив этот урок, мы будем уметь просчитывать ход событий и стратегически осмысливать происходящее. Важно одно — как не попасть под каток истории. В основе каждого очерка лежат документы, письма, дневники, мемуары исторических личностей.

Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H. L. T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics.

Europe is a place of free movement among nations—or is it? The Schengen area, established in 1985 and today encompassing twenty-nine European countries, allows people, goods, and capital to cross borders without restraint. Schengen transformed European life, advancing both a democratic project of transnational citizenship and a neoliberal project of international free trade. But the right of free movement always excluded non-Europeans, especially migrants of color from former colonies of the Schengen states.

This is a story of wins, losses, and ongoing battles in the ceaseless fight for a more decent world.

We live in a time where controversy seems to be the currency of conversation. People disagree not because they truly hold opposing views, but because they feel compelled to take a side, any side, simply for the sake of argument. Discourse has become a battlefield, where winning is prioritized over understanding. It’s disheartening.

Drawing on extensive interviews with abolitionist crews all over North America, Herzing and Piché provide a collective reconstruction of what the grassroots movement to abolish prisons actually is, what initiatives it has launched, how it organizes itself, and how its protagonists build the day-to-day practice of politics.

I made this audiobook to chronologize my personal experience of going through the lockdown in Shanghai during the covid-19 ordeal for over 60 days. In those days of confinement, I had a full taste of how brutal the authoritarian socialist system could be, and how fragile, helpless, and insignificant individuals were in front of the cold and inhumane government policies.
