Genre: Political Science
ISBN: 0755637097

This book presents the new Precariat – the rapidly growing number of people facing lives of insecurity, on zero hours contracts, moving in and out of jobs that give little meaning to their lives. The delivery driver who brings your packages, the uber driver who gets you to work, the security guard at the mall, the carer looking after our elderly...these are The Precariat. Guy Standing investigates this new and growing group, finding a frustrated and angry new underclass who are often ignored by politicians and economists. The rise of zero hours contracts, encouraged by fat cat corporations as risk-free employment, and by silicon valley as a way of outsourcing costs and responsibility, has been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. At the same time, in its experience of lockdown, the western world is realizing the true value of these nurses, carers and key workers. The answer? The return of income security and meaningful work - the principles 20th century capitalism was built on. By making the fears and desires of the Precariat central to economic thinking, Standing shows how concepts like Basic Income are not just desirable but inevitable, and plots the way to a better future.

ISBN: 0771004796

A beautiful re-issued edition of poetry from the Scotiabank Giller Prize–winning author of How To Pronounce Knife FEATURING A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR The language of Small Arguments is simple, yet there is nothing simple in its ideas. Reminiscent of Pablo Neruda’s Elemental Odes, these poems explore the structures of argument, orchestrating material around repetition, variation, and contrast. Thammavongsa’s approach is like that of a scientist or philosopher, delicately probing material for meaning and understanding. The poet collects small lives and argues for a larger belonging: a grain of dirt, a crushed cockroach, the eyes of a dead dragonfly. It is a work that suggests we can create with what we know and with that alone. First published in 2003, Small Arguments announced the arrival of a distinct and utterly original new voice.

The son of a shoe peddler immigrant, Aaron Levine graduated from Harvard, fell in love and married a nice Jewish girl from Bermuda and enlisted in the US Army in World War II. He was soon deployed to France and Germany as a military intelligence officer dedicated to helping fellow Jews who had stayed in Europe. The atrocities that he witnessed in the death camps and the Nazi prisoners of war that he interrogated deeply affected Aaron. His letters to his wife expressed the horrors he saw and the emotional scars they left. Their life-long dedication to Jewish advocacy and education was the result. Years later, Aaron's legacy of letters and family artifacts inspired their daughter to dedicate her life to the Jewish community, Holocaust education, interfaith collaboration, and cross-cultural understanding. The Liberator's Daughter is a history-rich story of Deborah Levine's family, with humble beginnings in Boston and the British island of Bermuda and stops along the way in Paris, Cincinnati, Chicago, Manhattan's lower East Side, and Tulsa. Today, Deborah is headquartered in Chattanooga, where she continues her work of tikkun olam, repair of the world, in the Southern tradition of storytelling.
