Imagine a culture using reason to better understand our world. Imagine a wise land living in harmony with irreplaceable nature. Imagine the blessing of grace to realize our fullest potential. Imagine a nation born in loyalty between people wanting better. Imagine New Albion: The Rebirth of the West. New Albion is an active project to create a new Atlantic homeland in the northeastern quarter of North America, a united effort between Americans and Canadians to restore Western Civilization, honor our European heritage, and defend the timeless values that settled this continent. A peaceful ...

What if you found out that Donald Trump really didn’t say that “Mexicans are rapists and criminals,” that he really didn’t make fun of a reporter’s physical disability, that he really didn’t impose a ban on Muslims, and that he really didn’t call white supremacists “very fine people”? What if you were to learn that those and many other stories about him were false? Would that change your view of him? And even if it didn’t, wouldn’t you still prefer to know the truth? Don’t you – and all Americans – deserve to know the truth?”This book not only exposes 10 of the...

Por meio de um texto claro e bem argumentado de Rubens Casara, um dos nomes mais prestigiados da inteligência brasileira atual, Bolsonaro: o mito e o sintoma joga luzes sobre as condições que possibilitaram a propagação da campanha bolsonarista e seu “pensamento empobrecido”.

National tensions are at a record high. People on all points in the political spectrum care deeply about their country, although they differ wildly in their opinions about what it looks like to serve that country well. As Christians, we love God and seek to follow him. At the same time, nothing shapes us and tugs at our loyalties quite like the place we live. And of course we are regularly encouraged to pledge our allegiance to our country―or particular understandings of it. Who wins when the priorities of God and our country clash?

Fifty years after John F. Kennedy's death, we find ourselves enmeshed in an era of political division and cynicism, where politicians talk past one another and the spirit of "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country" is less visible than it should be. We seem to have forgotten that we're all on the same team. Fortunately, Scott D. Reich has given us The Power of Citizenship, a timely book to bring us back on track.

In Real Americans, Jared A. Goldstein boldly challenges the conventional wisdom that a shared devotion to the Constitution is the essence of what it means to be American.

The Naked God is Howard Fast's public repudiation of the Communist Party, of which he was a devoted member for thirteen years until reading about the full scope of atrocities committed by the Soviet Union under Stalin. The best-selling author of Spartacus and Citizen Tom Paine, Howard Fast lent his writing talents and celebrity to the communist cause as a steadfast advocate and public figure. However, he felt increasingly ill at ease with the superior manner Party leaders took with rank-and-file members and with rumors of Soviet anti-Semitism.

Drawing on his family’s own experience emigrating from India to Britain and America, and years of reporting around the world, Suketu Mehta subjects the worldwide anti-immigrant backlash to withering scrutiny. The West, he argues, is being destroyed not by immigrants but by the fear of immigrants. He juxtaposes the phoney narratives of populist ideologues with the ordinary heroism of labourers, nannies and others, from Dubai to New York, and explains why more people are on the move today than ever before.

This is a story about how the extreme became mainstream. It reveals how the truth became ‘fake news’, how fringe ideas spread and how a candidate many dismissed as a joke was propelled to the presidency by the dark side of the internet. For several years, Andrew Marantz, a New Yorker staff writer, has been embedded with alt-right propagandists, who have become experts at using social media to advance their corrosive agenda.

How Britain Ends is a book about history, but also about the strange, complicated identity of Britishness. In the past, it was possible to live with delightful confusion: one could be English, or British, Scottish or Irish and a citizen/subject of the United Kingdom (or Great Britain). For years that state has been what Gavin Esler calls a 'secret federation', but without the explicit federal arrangements that allow Germany or the USA to survive. Now the archaic state, which doesn't have a written constitution, is coming under terrible strain.

From Chris Matthews, best selling author of Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think, comes this celebration of the American spirit. Matthews presents a portrait of a country that enters the world arena armed with an extremely potent weapon: the collective notions we carry of America at its best. It's a picture of more than just a nation challenged but a people ready and eager to prevail.

In the past two centuries we have experienced wave after wave of overwhelming change. Entire continents have been resettled; there are billions more of us; the jobs done by countless people would be unrecognisable to their predecessors; scientific change has transformed us all in confusing, terrible and miraculous ways. Anatol Lieven's major new book provides the frame that has long been needed to understand how we should react to climate change. This is a vast challenge, but we have often in the past had to deal with such challenges.

From Trump’s America to Putin’s Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind. Populist leaders tap into this fear, with empty promises of looking out for the little guy and promising a return to national greatness. This is happening in countries across the globe and the political spectrum. Political scientists Drache and Froese have turned original research into a compelling analysis of the rise of populism and reveal what it will take to douse the flames.

Un ensayo muy documentado en el que Mariano Sánchez Soler analiza la transición, los planes golpistas, los neonazis y las diferentes familias ultras, la xenofobia y la irrupción de VOX en los parlamentos.

No final de fevereiro de 1848, foi publicado em Londres um pequeno panfleto que acabaria por se tornar o documento político mais importante de todos os tempos: o Manifesto Comunista, de Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels. Passado mais de um século e meio, a atualidade e o vigor deste texto continuam reconhecidos por intelectuais das mais diversas correntes de pensamento. A Boitempo Editorial utilizou, com alguns ajustes ortográficos, a tradução feita por Álvaro Pina a partir da edição alemã de 1890, prefaciada e anotada por Engels.

In American Will, Governor Jindal brings to life some of the greatest lessons in our nation's history and explores how they have defined our current state of affairs - including the exciting story behind the Louisiana Purchase, the conflict between the Federalists and anti-Federalists, Reagan vs. Nixon's welfare fight, and how the Cold War was nearly lost. Each event relates back to a moment in Governor Jindal's career where he had to make an important decision for the people of Louisiana.

"Nationalismus ist untrennbar mit dem Streben nach Macht verbunden", aber nicht mit Patriotismus gleichzusetzen, so George Orwell in diesem kontroversen Essay. Was kennzeichnet nationalistisches Denken? Unter anderem der besessene Glaube an die eigene Überlegenheit und der Unwille, sein Handeln an realen Fakten auszurichten. Geschrieben 1945 und noch nie auf Deutsch erschienen, ist "Über Nationalismus" eine höchst zeitgemäße Lektüre und ein Plädoyer gegen den Rechtspopulismus.

This book analyses why Hindutva as an ideology is no longer anathema and what brought about this change. Why did a country that was ruled for decades by people espousing Nehruvian secularism suddenly began to align with the ‘communal politics’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)? The book is the story of this transformation.

Silencing and punishing critical voices is a project that lies at the heart of Narendra Modi's authoritarian regime in India. In this unique book, Suchitra Vijayan and Francesca Recchia look at the present of India through the lived experiences of political prisoners. Combining political and legal analysis with firsthand testimonies, the book explores the small gestures that constitute resistance inside and outside jail for the prisoners and their families, telling a story of destruction of institutions and erosion of rights.

Pocos problemas histórico-políticos habrán experimentado una revolución en su tratamiento por parte de historiadores y científicos sociales comparable a la sufrida por el nacionalismo en las últimas décadas. De ahí que José Álvarez Junco dedique el primer capítulo de este libro a exponer las teorías actuales en torno a naciones y nacionalismos y a proponer unas definiciones iniciales de términos.
