Vandana Shiva
Released 2010-10-01
“Vandana Shiva is one of the world's most prominent radical scientists . . . in Staying Alive she defines the links between ecological crises, colonialism, and the oppression of women. It is a scholarly and polemical plea for the rediscovery of the ‘feminine principle’ in human interaction with the natural world, not as a gender-based quality, rather an organizing principle, a way of seeing the world.” —The Guardian

bell hooks and Ayo Sesheni (Narrator)
Released 2010-10-15
Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Self-Recovery was the first nonfiction book to address the emotional needs of black women from a political perspective. With its watershed publication, bell hooks reminded us that those at the frontlines in battles against racism and sexism must take time to suture the wounds caused by oppression even as they continue to struggle. Although self-help and affirmation books have exploded as a genre, fourteen years later Sisters of the Yam remains one of the few books to theorize care of the self as an integral part of the fight for social justice. For those new to this classic as well as those who will be delighted to return to it, this audio edition of Sisters of the Yam makes the work accessible to an even wider audience. An important addition for libraries, activist organizations, book clubs, and personal stereos, Sisters of the Yam remains a vital resource for anyone who seeks to better understand the many dimensions of black women’s struggle for justice.

Released 2010-10-15
Moving the idea of sovereignty beyond the narrow confines of the nation-state, beyond the concept of a power one either has or lacks, this paradigm-shifting work examines the new ways colonized people resist current forms of domination, placing both their subjugation and their resistance within broader contemporary political contexts. A valuable contribution to this debate around indigenous conceptions of sovereignty, Sovereign Acts goes further, to investigate the relationships between sovereignty, gender, sexuality, representation, and the body.
