Liberación nacional

  • <p>&laquo;Estoy de pie sobre las ruinas de una casa en la ciudad de Gaza, oteando el horizonte&raquo;. Estas son las palabras iniciales de este libro, finalizado mediante mensajes de voz mientras Gaza, donde vive el autor, est&aacute; siendo aniquilada. Descolonizar la mente palestina no trata del &uacute;ltimo ataque israel&iacute; sobre Gaza. Es una cr&iacute;tica aguda a los Acuerdos de Oslo, a los territorios creados por el imperialismo en nombre de la soluci&oacute;n de los dos Estados. Tambi&eacute;n es un texto, escrito a quemarropa, sobre la folklorizaci&oacute;n de la lucha y la emancipaci&oacute;n palestinas, que se han convertido en una conducta habitual por parte de las organizaciones hist&oacute;ricas que luchan por la liberaci&oacute;n de Palestina.</p> <p>Haidar Eid se basa en la obra de Edward Said, a quien los palestinos aprecian por su implacable cr&iacute;tica de su situaci&oacute;n, para hacer un llamamiento por un cambio de conciencia. Vislumbra, desde las ruinas de Gaza, un nuevo per&iacute;odo de amenaza sin precedentes sobre la cultura, la identidad y el futuro del pueblo palestino.</p>
  • <p>Descobreix la nostra hist&ograve;ria com mai ning&uacute; te l'ha explicat! Un relat on plasmem alguns dels grans reptes i reflexions que hem fet al llarg d'aquests deu anys. Una firma renovada del nostre comprom&iacute;s amb la revoluci&oacute;. Terroristes, kale borroka catalana, <em>cachorros </em>de la CUP, malfollades, ganduls, totalitaris, v&agrave;ndals, etc. Han estat moltes les paraules que mitjans de comunicaci&oacute; i altres agents pol&iacute;tics han utilitzat per definir-nos. Ara, despr&eacute;s de deu anys d'organitzaci&oacute; juvenil i d'acci&oacute; pol&iacute;tica a peu de carrer (i de barricada), Arran prenem la paraula.</p> <p>Volem explicar a totes les joves, per&ograve; tamb&eacute; a la resta de la societat, qui som i qu&egrave; fem. Per qu&egrave; defensem l'acci&oacute; directa? Quin objectiu persegu&iacute;em assaltant un bus tur&iacute;stic, ocupant la seu del PP o tirant a terra un toro d'Osborne gegant? Per qu&egrave; som independentistes, socialistes i feministes? En definitiva, volem explicar per qu&egrave; la lluita &eacute;s l'&uacute;nic cam&iacute;.</p>
  • <p>The S&aacute;mi, who have inhabited Europe&rsquo;s far north for thousands of years, are often referred to as the continent&rsquo;s &ldquo;forgotten people.&rdquo; With S&aacute;pmi, their traditional homeland, divided between four nation-states&mdash;Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia&mdash;the S&aacute;mi have experienced the profound oppression and discrimination that characterize the fate of indigenous people worldwide: their lands have been confiscated, their beliefs and values attacked, their communities and families torn apart. Yet the S&aacute;mi have shown incredible resilience, defending their identity and their territories and retaining an important social and ecological voice&mdash;even if many, progressives and leftists included, refuse to listen.</p> <p><em>Liberating S&aacute;pmi</em> is a stunning journey through S&aacute;pmi and includes in-depth interviews with S&aacute;mi artists, activists, and scholars boldly standing up for the rights of their people. In this beautifully illustrated work, Gabriel Kuhn, author of over a dozen books and our most fascinating interpreter of global social justice movements, aims to raise awareness of the ongoing fight of the S&aacute;mi for justice and self-determination.</p> <p>The first accessible English-language introduction to the history of the S&aacute;mi people and the first account that focuses on their political resistance, this provocative work gives irrefutable evidence of the important role the S&aacute;mi play in the resistance of indigenous people against an economic and political system whose power to destroy all life on earth has reached a scale unprecedented in the history of humanity. The book contains interviews with Mari Boine, Harald Gaski, Ann-Kristin H&aring;kansson, Aslak Holmberg, Maxida M&auml;rak, Stefan Mikaelsson, May-Britt &Ouml;hman, Synn&oslash;ve Persen, &Oslash;yvind Ravna, Niillas Somby, Anders Sunna, and Suvi West.</p>
  • <p>The first collection of its kind, this anthology by members of the Mohawk Warrior Society uncovers a hidden history and paints a bold portrait of the spectacular experience of Kanien'keh&aacute;:ka survival and self-defense. Providing extensive documentation, context, and analysis, the book features foundational writings by prolific visual artist and polemicist Louis Karoniaktajeh Hall (1918&ndash;1993)&mdash;such as his landmark 1979 pamphlet <em>The Warrior&rsquo;s Handbook</em>, as well as selections of his pioneering artwork.</p> <p>This book contains new oral history by key figures of the Rotisken'rhak&eacute;hte's revival in the 1970s and tells the story of the Warriors&rsquo; famous flag, their armed occupation of Ganienkeh in 1974, and the role of their constitution, the Great Peace, in guiding their commitment to freedom and independence. We hear directly the story of how the Kanien'keh&aacute;:ka Longhouse became one the most militant resistance groups in North America, gaining international attention with the Oka Crisis of 1990.</p> <p>This autohistory of the Rotisken'rhak&eacute;hte is complemented by a Mohawk history timeline from colonization to the present, a glossary of Mohawk political philosophy, and a new map of Iroquoia in Mohawk language. At last, the Mohawk Warriors can tell their own story with their own voices, and to serve as an example and inspiration for future generations struggling against the environmental, cultural, and social devastation cast upon the modern world.</p>
  • <p>The revolution in Rojava captured the imagination of the left, sparking a worldwide interest in the Kurdish Freedom Movement. <em>The Art of Freedom</em> demonstrates that this explosive movement is firmly rooted in several decades of organized struggle.</p> <p>In 2018, one of the most important spokespersons for the struggle of Kurdish Freedom, Havin Guneser, held three groundbreaking seminars on the historical background and guiding ideology of the movement. Much to the chagrin of career academics, the theoretical foundation of the Kurdish Freedom Movement is far too fluid and dynamic to be neatly stuffed into an ivory-tower filing cabinet.</p> <p>A vital introduction to the Kurdish struggle, <em>The Art of Freedom</em> is the first English-language book to deliver a distillation of the ideas and sensibilities that gave rise to the most important political event of the twenty-first century. The book is broken into three sections: &ldquo;Critique and Self-Critique: The rise of the Kurdish freedom movement from the rubbles of two world wars&rdquo; provides an accessible explanation of the origins and theoretical foundation of the movement. &ldquo;The Rebellion of the Oldest Colony: Jineology&mdash;the Science of Women&rdquo; describes the undercurrents and nuances of the Kurdish women&rsquo;s movement and how they have managed to create the most vibrant and successful feminist movement in the Middle East. &ldquo;Democratic Confederalism and Democratic Nation: Defense of Society Against Societycide&rdquo; deals with the attacks on the fabric of society and new concepts beyond national liberation to counter it. Centering on notions of &ldquo;a shared homeland&rdquo; and &ldquo;a nation made up of nations,&rdquo; these rousing ideas find deep international resonation.</p> <p>Havin Guneser has provided an expansive definition of freedom and democracy and a road map to help usher in a new era of struggle against capitalism, imperialism, and the State.</p>
