In the summer of 2014, renowned American Indian studies professor Steven Salaita had his appointment to a tenured professorship revoked by the board of trustees of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Salaita's employment was terminated in response to his public tweets criticizing the Israeli government's summer assault on Gaza. Salaita's firing generated a huge public outcry, with thousands petitioning for his reinstatement, and more than 5,000 scholars pledging to boycott UIUC.

En un dramático relato de violencia y espionaje, el periodista de investigación y ganador de un Premio Pulitzer Ronan Farrow expone los poderosos intereses de los depredadores sexuales, empeñados en cubrir la verdad a cualquier precio....

The riveting true story of America’s first homegrown Muslim terror attack, the 1977 Hanafi siege of Washington, DC.

In The Forever Prisoner, Cathy Scott-Clark and Adrian Levy recount dramatic scenes inside multiple black sites around the world through the eyes of those who were there, trace the twisted legal justifications, and chart how enhanced interrogation, a key “weapon” in the global “War on Terror,” metastasized over seven years, encompassing dozens of detainees in multiple locations, some of whom died. Ultimately that war has cost 8 trillion dollars and 900,000 lives, while the U.S. Senate judged enhanced interrogation was torture and had produced zero high-value intelligence.

Embodiment is not an easy business. From violence to illness, sexuality to racism, the fact of a body can be impossibly hard to inhabit. Olivia Laing draws on her own background in protest and alternative medicine to investigate the reasons why. Laing’s exploration of the complexities of bodily life takes in some of the most significant and beguiling figures of the past century, among them the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, the painters Francis Bacon and Agnes Martin and the singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone.

In recent years our world has seen transformations of all kinds: intense climate change accompanied by significant weather extremes; deadly tsunamis caused by submarine earthquakes; unprecedented terrorist attacks; costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; a terrible and overlooked conflict in Equatorial Africa costing millions of lives; an economic crisis threatening the stability of the international system.

L’attacco di Hamas del 7 ottobre 2023 e gli orrori che ne sono seguiti hanno sconvolto il mondo. Ma il conflitto israelo-palestinese non è iniziato quel giorno. E neppure nel 1967, quando Israele ha occupato la Cisgiordania, o nel 1948, quando è stato proclamato lo Stato ebraico. È iniziato nel 1882, quando i primi coloni sionisti sono arrivati in quella che era la Palestina ottomana. Il celebre storico israeliano Ilan Pappé – autore del bestseller internazionale La pulizia etnica della Palestina – ricostruisce qui la vicenda di due popoli che ora condividono una sola terra.

Pamela Olson, a small town girl from eastern Oklahoma, had what she always wanted: a physics degree from Stanford University. But instead of feeling excited for what came next, she felt consumed by dread and confusion. This irresistible memoir chronicles her journey from aimless ex-bartender to Ramallah-based journalist and foreign press coordinator for a Palestinian presidential candidate.

It was the 1960s - a time of economic boom and social strife. Young women poured into the workplace, but the “Help Wanted” ads were segregated by gender and the “Mad Men” office culture was rife with sexual stereotyping and discrimination. Lynn Povich was one of the lucky ones, landing a job at Newsweek, renowned for its cutting-edge coverage of civil rights and the “Swinging Sixties.” Nora Ephron, Jane Bryant Quinn, Ellen Goodman, and Susan Brownmiller all started there as well. It was a top-notch job - for a girl - at an exciting place. But it was a dead end.

Vivimos en la edad del algoritmo. Cada vez más, las decisiones que afectan nuestras vidas no están hechas por humanos, sino por modelos matemáticos. En teoría, esto debería conducir a una mayor equidad: todos son juzgados de acuerdo con las mismas reglas y se elimina el sesgo. Pero como revela Cathy O'Neil en Armas de destrucción matemática, ocurre exactamente lo contrario. Los modelos que se utilizan en la actualidad son opacos, no regulados e incontestables, incluso cuando están equivocados.

Every president has had a unique and complicated relationship with the intelligence community. While some have been coolly distant, even adversarial, others have found their intelligence agencies to be among the most valuable instruments of policy and power. Since John F. Kennedy's presidency, this relationship has been distilled into a personalized daily report: a short summary of what the intelligence apparatus considers the most crucial information for the president to know that day about global threats and opportunities.

When tough-on-crime laws passed 30 years ago during an era of drug-fueled violence, they were supported across the political spectrum. The subsequent "war on drugs" sent non-violent offenders to prison for decades and, in some cases, life. As a result, the nation's prison and jail population today is 2.3 million, more than quadruple the number that were incarcerated in 1980. One in 100 adults is behind bars in America.

The first significant book on the history and impact of the ADA - the "eyes on the prize" moment for disability rights. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the widest-ranging and most comprehensive piece of civil rights legislation ever passed in the United States, and it has become the model for disability-based laws around the world. Yet the surprising story behind how the bill came to be is little known.

The NSA's extensive surveillance program has riveted America as the public questions the threats to their privacy. As reported by The Washington Post, in their Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of whistleblower Edward Snowden's NSA leaks, NSA Secrets delves into the shadowy world of information gathering, exposing how data about you is being gathered every day. From his earliest encrypted exchanges with reporters, Edward Snowden knew he was a man in danger.

In 1949, a newly minted branch of the CIA (the precursor of today’s National Clandestine Service), flush with money and burning with determination to roll back the Iron Curtain, embarked on the first paramilitary operation in the history of the agency. They hatched an elaborate plan, coordinated with the British Secret Intelligence Service, to foment popular rebellion and detach Albania, the weakest of the Soviet satellites in Europe, from Moscow’s orbit. The operation resulted in dismal failure and was shut down by 1954.

El complejo militar-industrial de Israel utiliza los territorios palestinos ocupados como campo de pruebas de armamento y tecnología de vigilancia que luego exporta por todo el mundo. Durante más de cincuenta años, la ocupación de Cisjordania y Gaza ha proporcionado al Estado israelí una experiencia inestimable en el control de una población "enemiga", perfeccionando cada vez más la arquitectura del control. El periodista Antony Loewenstein expone este asunto, en gran medida oculto, en una investigación global a partir de documentos secretos, entrevistas y reportajes sobre el terreno.

Chi è il vero responsabile del ritorno della guerra in Europa? Secondo il mantra della narrazione occidentale dominante, c'è un solo e unico colpevole: Vladimir Putin, novello Hitler, che avrebbe invaso l'Ucraina senza alcuna motivazione, se non quella di un violento e sfrenato espansionismo. Ma è lecito porsi ulteriori dubbi. In realtà, secondo lo storico americano Benjamin Abelow, sono gli Stati Uniti e la NATO a essere i principali responsabili della crisi ucraina.

国際紛争研究者が見て、感じ、考えた和解の現場殺しあいをしてきた人々は、どのように仲直りをするのか。闘いを通じて増殖され蓄積された憎しみ、悲しみ、怒り、憤りを当事者たちはどう処理するのか。

Estamos rodeados de noticias sobre cuestiones judiciales que la mayoría no comprendemos bien. Y los medios, en vez de ayudar, muchas veces lo que hacen es desinformar. Con un lenguaje coloquial y al alcance de todos, Judge The Zipper, juez divulgador en Twitter, donde cuenta con casi 90.000 seguidores, se arremanga la toga y nos explica qué es eso de la prisión provisional, la presunción de inocencia, las denuncias y las demandas, los antecedentes penales, la legítima defensa, el jurado, la custodia compartida, los inmigrantes ilegales.
