Marsilio Editori

"Nel xx secolo fili spinati hanno marcato l'odio per l'Altro, preludio a stermini di massa, mentre l'ingegneria sociale si è incaricata di sterilizzare i "diversi". Hanno iniziato gli inglesi in Sud Africa nel 1901-1902 con la segregazione di 120.000 boeri. Pochi anni dopo negli usa si legalizza la sterilizzazione di handicappati e malati di mente. In Russia, nel 1923, Lenin attiva la prima isola del famigerato Arcipelago Gulag poi diventato, con Stalin, strumento di una sanguinaria politica repressiva. Tra il 1934 e il 1976 le socialdemocrazie scandinave sterilizzano 106.000 "diversi" - di cui il 90% donne - per contenere i costi del Welfare State. Nel 1939 Hitler avvia l'eliminazione dei malati ereditari uccidendo 5.000 bambini e 71.000 adulti e dà inizio allo sterminio di oltre 6.000.000 di ebrei e di 500.000 zingari.Negli anni cinquanta Mao trasforma il popolo in "arma suprema" della sua dittatura. In Sud Africa nel dopoguerra i bianchi segregano i neri con una liberticida legislazione razziale. Negli anni settanta i Khmer rossi di Pol Pot disintegrano la Cambogia facendo morire 1.860.000 persone: il 25% della popolazione.

Gli anni novanta si aprono con la pulizia etnica nell'ex Jugoslavia imitata, nel 1994, dal Ruanda con lo sterminio di 800.000 persone di etnia Tutsi. Ora, alla fine del xx secolo, frughiamo tra queste immani rovine di una umanità vilipesa nella sua dignità; questo libro, nel suo rigore storiografico, è al tempo stesso un documento e una denuncia.

L'Echappée

"1931, Scottsboro, Alabama : neuf jeunes Noirs sont injustement accusés d'avoir violé deux femmes blanches à bord d'un train de marchandises. Arrêtés et condamnes en quatre jours, huit d'entre eux risquent la chaise électrique. Ce recueil de 118 linogravures offre un point de vue inédit sur la bataille juridique et politique pour leur défense, l'une des plus célèbres de toute l'histoire américaine. Au-delà d'une simple dénonciation du racisme en vigueur dans le Sud des Etats-Unis, les auteurs ont voulu inscrire cet épisode dans le temps long de l'histoire de l'esclavage, et transformer ainsi le combat en faveur des "neuf de Scottsboro" en une lutte plus large pour la construction d'une société communiste. Document rare sur la lutte des classes et les combats pour l'égalité raciale dans l'Amérique des années 1930, tout autant qu'oeuvre graphique exceptionnelle, ces gravures réalisées à Seattle en 1935 ont été éditées aux Etats-Unis pour la première fois en 2002."

Palgrave Macmillan

"Racism, Class and the Racialized Outsider offers an original perspective on the significance of both racism and anti-racism in the making of the English working class. While racism became a powerful structuring force within this social class from as early as the mid-Victorian period, this book also traces the episodic emergence of currents of working class anti-racism. Through an insistence that race is central to the way class works, this insightful text demonstrates not only that the English working class was a multi-ethnic formation from the moment of its inception but that racialized outsiders - Irish Catholics, Jews, Asians and the African diaspora - often played a catalytic role in the collective action that helped fashion a more inclusive and democratic society. "

Capital and Class

"The militant, unofficial grassroots-led engineering construction strikes of 2009 dominated the news in Britain for many months, attaining international prominence because of their alleged xenophobia. To mainstream commentators, they appeared to be a throwback to a distant past, and inexplicable given that only a very few groups of workers are now seen as having the capability to undertake such action. Indeed, conventional explanations relied on using the alleged xenophobia as the motivating and organising rationale. This article examines the strikes, explaining their genesis, dynamics and achievements as well as their limitations. A key finding concerns how an industry class consciousness played a critical role in facilitating the workers' ability to mount militant and successful collective action."

Verso

"No metropolis has been more loved or more hated. To its official boosters, "Los Angeles brings it all together." To detractors, LA is a sunlit mortuary where "you can rot without feeling it." To Mike Davis, the author of this fiercely elegant and wide-ranging work of social history, Los Angeles is both utopia and dystopia, a place where the last Joshua trees are being plowed under to make room for model communities in the desert, where the rich have hired their own police to fend off street gangs, as well as armed Beirut militias. In "City of Quartz", Davis reconstructs LA's shadow history and dissects its ethereal economy. He tells us who has the power and how they hold on to it. He gives us a city of Dickensian extremes, Pynchonesque conspiracies, and a desperation straight out of Nathaniel West-a city in which we may glimpse our own future, mirrored with terrifying clarity."
