Using accounts of how indigenous Americans in Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama are securing recognition and self-government, this book presents real possibilities for re-possessing territory, and establishing both self-government and multiethnic government. Control of natural resources and land development have become central issues to these negotiations. These recognized rights are very fragile, and are kept alive by struggle and vigilance. SC

The Government of the U.S. has become by design a de facto—that is to say, factual—government, but not a lawful one. Subversive forces have, by legal means, gained control over the government, and all of law enforcement is also under their control, says the author. Weisman claims that proper American law based on biblical precepts has been superseded by “Marxist-Talmudic” law, thanks to traitors like Lincoln and Roosevelt, who were influenced by Jewish bankers and the “subversive groups” they used as fronts.

With the fall of Communism, the U.S. was left in search of a new global agenda. According to the authors, the Bush administration betrayed the basic foundation of America in looking for a new role for the U.S. Using the Gulf War as the starting point of this new agenda, the authors expose the inconsistency of deliberately choosing military action when traditional diplomatic principles and other means were available—in their words, Bush succumbed to an “imperial temptation.” SC

Leff and Haft collected in-depth interviews from people who weren’t working for various reasons, and presented them in this book with related commentary and statistics. In late-20th-century America, work equals identity. However, the authors, through their research, challenge the very notion of maintaining a work-based identity. Their message is even more compelling now than when Time Without Work was first published, thanks to the current downsizing trend and layoffs in almost every industry. With the very nature of work changing, so are many people’s expectations about work. No longer does one have a single employer or, for that matter, a single career. Consequently, people will have periods of unemployment. How will this new facet of the job market relate to societal ideas about work? The stories given here offer some possibilities. SC

Because Bakunin thought of himself as an anti-intellectual, he didn’t leave behind a codified book of his pronouncements for others to follow. Nevertheless, as collected here for the first time in English, his philosophical ideas are inspirational to anyone who opposes the dualistic Western view of the individual, the state and society. SC

Quite possibly the most subversive thing ever written by a Young Hegelian, this book got under Marx and Engels’ skins so much that they wrote a 700-page-plus refutation of it, The German Ideology. Stirner’s point is that the individual should be the primary focus of social relationships. This concept appeals to both the left and right; however, anyone who would call himself a “Stirnerite” is either an idiot or misses the point. Cited by everyone from bomb-toting anarchists to limp-wristed Libertarians, consistently misinterpreted, and influential on such varied people as Friedrich Nietzsche and Guy Debord, The Ego and Its Own is a must-read for anyone who is interested in anti-authoritarian politics.

Kropotkin’s masterwork, this volume sets forth the results of his lifelong research into the history of human ethics, from primitive peoples to the late 19th century. For the author, an anarchist scientist, ethics were not an abstract science of human conduct but a concrete discipline based on mutual aid, justice and self-sacrifice. SC
