The roots of populism: Neoliberalism and working-class lives by Brian Elliott
2021 | ISBN: 152613697X | English | 160 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Does the current wave of populism constitute a threat to or promise for democracy? What has led to the emergence of populism and to what extent can populism be shaped into a program of progressive reform of democracy today? In this timely new book, Brian Elliott takes a long view on populism, tracing its presence to the seminal struggles waged by the British workers' movement of the nineteenth century to gain general enfranchisement. Since the emergence of neoliberalism in the UK in the early 1980s, he argues, the interests of the working class have become progressively more marginalized within mainstream politics. Years of austerity politics following the financial crash of 2008 deepened popular disenchantment with the political class and paved to the way for the 2016 Brexit referendum result. This has precipitated a crisis of British democracy.

The Umma and the Dawla: The Nation-State and the Arab Middle East By Tamim Al-Barghouti
2008 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0745327710 | PDF | 1 MB
This book argues that the Arab states in the Middle East have failed to provide security for their citizens or define themselves along the lines of traditional nation states. Due to continuous war, they have been unable to foster development and prosperity.The author argues that these failures have led to the development of an Islamic political theory which is based around the non-territorial concepts of the Umma and Dawla. Each concept is explored in detail and the author explains how crucial they are in explaining the difference between Western policy and the priorities and the identity of the Arab world.This unique book should be required reading for students of Middle East international relations and Islamic political theory.This book argues that nationalisms in the Arab Middle East were colonial constructs to legitimize the colonially created nation states. Such states were structured in a manner that guaranteed their behavior as colonies after their independence. There dependence was in fact the condition for their formal independence.The book contrasts these colonially introduced national identities to the pre colonial Islamic identity the revolved around the concepts of Umma and Dawla. Both concepts have not yet been adequately dealt with in English and have usually been mistranslated into „nation‰ and „state‰ respectively. The Book provides a thorough explanation of these concepts by studying canonical Sunni and Shiite Islamic texts of political theory and jurisprudence. The Book also shows that understanding such concepts might explain how public opinion is formed in the Middle East and how Arab governments gain and loose legitimacy.Finally the book traces the local elites‚ failed attempts to reconcile the colonially introduced identity that revolves around the colonially created nation state and the native culture that sets political allegiance in the whole Muslim community. Such a failure allowed the Dawla, a non-territorial, non-sovereign form of organization whose allegiance lies with the whole Muslim Umma, to reemerge as a means of social, political in sometimes military, form of organization, thus the variety of non state Islamic actors throughout the region.This unique book should be required reading for students of Middle East international relations and Islamic political theory.

Simon Gottschalk, "The Terminal Self: Everyday Life in Hypermodern Times "
English | ISBN: 0367369540 | 2019 | 154 pages | PDF | 1198 KB
Living at the dawn of a digital twenty-first century, people living in Western societies spend an increasing amount of time interacting with a terminal and interacting with others at the terminal. Because the self emerges out of interaction with others (humans and non-humans), this increasingly pervasive and mandatory interaction with terminals prompts a 'terminal self'―a nexus of social and psychological orientations that are adjusted to the terminal logic.

Translated by Richard Howard; introduction by Susan SontagThis collection of eleven essays originally appeared in France thirty years ago and created a literary whirlwind on the Left Bank. Cioran writes incisively about Western civilizations, the writer, the novel, mystics, apostles, and philosophers."A sort of final philosopher of the Western world. His statements have the compression of poetry and the audacity of cosmic clowning."-Washington Post"An intellectual bombshell that blasts away at all kinds of cant, sham and conventionality. . . . [Cioran's] language is so erotic, his handling of words so seductive, that the act of reading becomes an encounter in the erogenous zone."-Jonah Raskin,L.A. Weekly

Yet the full and true impact of this venerable Hindu saga, though of ancient vintage, can affect countless number of modern readers of any national, religious or ethnic background. The battlefield advice given by Krishna, the Hindu deith, to Prince Arjuna rings with mind-searing veracity that can modify and influence every element of behaviour in contemporary life and thought. Sri Vishwanath the author provides a clear and practical analysis of Krishna's dictums and the questions posed by Arjuna, which represent the moral confusion of mankind.

The ancient "song" and its timeless message are rendered into a modern primer on how men and women should behave to reach other, to nature and the universe- and ultimately to the consciousness and concept of God. The popularity of Vishwanath's other books which explain many spiritual concepts and methods of achieving mind-clearing serenity continues to soar. It is the rare reader who won't find his or her outlook changed by reading this book and their life improved by absorbing the essence of this epic.
