Under the Sickle and the Sledgehammer was originally published in 1942, as war still raged between Finland and Soviet Union. Its writer was a Finnish woman who emigrated to Russia in the 1930s, convinced the new egalitarian state and workers paradise would be a better life for her and her young son, hopeful once settled she could send for him. What followed was very different to what was promised: a life in constant fear, under intense government scrutiny, of purges and Great Wraths, good people imprisoned and shot; and state-run propaganda that spun a web of lies around its people. The author eventually escaped, defying the odds when so many of her friends and loved ones did not, and recorded her memories under a pseudonym in what became the second most censored book from Finnish libraries after the war. This is the first English translation of this important memoir, whose original preface states: I simply want to provide an honest account of what my friends and I had to live through under the "Stalinist sun".

Entre la autobiografía y el ensayo, un texto poderosísimo y de alto voltaje literario sobre el abuso sexual a menores.Esta es la historia de una mujer que de niña sufrió abusos por parte de su padrastro y que reflexiona sobre el sentido de la experiencia que le toco vivir. Sabe que nunca va a entender realmente que paso, y aun asi sigue buscando, con la distancia pacificadora de los años pero con la rabia intacta. Pensar es como la lucha de un samurai contra un monstruo, y, para luchar contra los monstruos del pasado y los nuevos monstruos que aparecen en el momento de ser madre, esta mujer usa las armas con las que se ha formado: las armas de la literatura.Triste tigrees una aventura del pensamiento que nos propone acompañar a la narradora mientras se cuestiona la violencia sexual, el mal, el trauma, el silencio, pero tambien las formas de ser un adulto protector, la libertad, la verdad, el relato. ¿Como contar una historia que no se puede contar? ¿Como escuchar una historia que nadie quiere escuchar? ¿Que hacer con eso que es terriblemente grave y a la vez perfectamente normal?Triste tigreno es un libro, es una bomba, una pequeña bomba artesanal que se detona en casa, en la intimidad de la lectura. Tiene la intensidad y la fragilidad de las cosas concebidas en soledad y con furia. Tambien tiene la loca y ridicula ambicion de que todo estalle en pedazos.

El salseo y el pensamiento crítico se unen para revelar qué pasa en las redes más allá de lo que muestran.- ¿Qué es exactamente «todo ese trabajo que hay detrás» del que tanto hablan los influencers?

Family life has changed dramatically over the past 60 years.Increased opportunities for women, greater freedom and autonomy, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought great gains for human freedom. However, argues David Goodhart, there have been losses too: our greater freedoms have produced negative consequences in family breakdown, childrens declining mental health, and the undervaluing of the traditionally female domains of care. Sharply falling birthrates also present major economic and social challenges.For many people, especially in the bottom half of the income spectrum, the costs now outweigh the benefits. The Care Dilemma argues that we need a new policy settlement that supports gender equality while also recognising the importance of stable families and community life, and that sees having children as a public as well as private good.

Aquellos que escriben la historia han temido siempre a las mujeres rebeldes, sin miedo, poderosas, libres. Un recorrido fascinante desde la Antiguedad para entender la forma en que se construye esa idea terrible: la de una mujer poderosa.La mujer ha sido asociada a lo largo de la historia con muchos elementos ajenos al centro de poder: representadas por la naturaleza, la magia y la sexualidad, las mujeres son un elemento peligroso desde el mismo momento en que son concebidas. Ellas seductoras, histericas, individuos sangrantes, conspiradorasPara entender lo que podemos llegar a ser hay que comprender los mecanismos que han cortado una y otra vez las alas a esas mujeres del pasado: como se nos ha contado la historia, de donde vienen esas imagenes que repetimos una y otra vez en cuentos, relatos, peliculas y novelas. Porque ni Cleopatra fue tan bruja, ni las brujas fueron tan malas, ni las malas lo eran tanto.Desde los mitos clasicos de figuras ominosas como Medusa o Artemis hasta las advertencias contra las sirenas o las brujas, pasando por figuras maltratadas por la historia oficial como Agripina o Mesalina, Patricia Gonzalez mira a la Antiguedad para entender esa historia de las mujeres temidas y poderosas como elemento perturbador. Un recorrido completo, ameno y riguroso, de la mano de una divulgadora tan provocadora como precisa.Reseñas:Patricia Gonzalez sacude la vision dominante de la historia con hechos documentados y vision critica. Miguel Angel Cajigal, El BarroquistaEste libro bucea en los mas insondables e intimos terrores del patriarcado para rescatar la historia de un fantasma: el estereotipo de la mala mujer. Una mujer inventada por cuyos delitos hemos sido sometidas, juzgadas y condenadas. Isabel MellenTraidoras, malas madres, brujas, trepas La autora desmenuza como nadie los topicos de la mujer romana y griega y el reflejo que aun tienen en nuestra sociedad. Si somos herederos de Roma, tambien lo somos del machismo romano. Mikel HerranIngeniosa y aguda, la pluma de Patricia sigue rescatando y analizando a mujeres del pasado en una obra fascinante que, a su vez, nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestro presente.

Why is it that despite the worlds richest countries adopting wide-reaching gender equality laws men still hold the majority of leadership roles? And why do men remain overrepresented in the computer and mathematical sciences and as engineers, priests and plumbers, while most registered nurses, childcare workers and receptionists are women? To many, it is clear that our contemporary gendered division of labour is both cause and consequence of the sex-based hierarchy of power over resources, a.k.a. the patriarchy. For others there are inherent evolutionary differences between men and women that make us better suited to particular roles in society. Surveying social and cultural history and drawing on statistics and ideas from science, business, psychology and social justice, Cordelia Fine shows how such simple and incendiary explanations are pushing mainstream feminism in increasingly unthreatening and ineffective directions, how the gender hierarchy continues to perpetuate and enforce patriarchal norms, and what needs to be done to get back on track. Unflinching and groundbreaking, Patriarchy Inc. provides a radical new interpretation of men and womens work and offers a new vision for gender equality.

Far from being yesterdays fading, forgotten format, vinyl records have survived and flourished as the music medium of choice for not only baby-boomers, but all ages. Every record a collector acquires comes with a story of its own, and the recent Covid-19 lockdowns prompted many vinylholics, including Graham Sharpe, to look more closely at their reasons for collecting, take stock of existing collections and rediscover old favourites.Vinyl Countdown followed Sharpes journey to over a hundred record shops across the globe, from Amsterdam and Angus, to Bedfordshire and Budapest, Tennessee and Wellington. Now, ON THE RECORDs: Notes from the Vinyl Revival explores the impact of recent global events on the record industry and considers the reasons why vinyl remains a beloved - and booming - format. It includes interviews and contributions from voices across the industry - shop owners, record company insiders, online/postal sellers, auction organisers, market traders of vinyl, amateur collectors - who share their stories with candour, warmth and humour.A mesmerising blend of memoir, travel, music and social history that will appeal to anyone who vividly recalls the first LP they bought and any music fan who derives pleasure from the capacity that records have for transporting you back in time.

Rarely has there been a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the manosphere, as men search for new forms of belonging. In Lost Boys, James Bloodworth delves into these underground worlds and asks where have they come from? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? What does the emergence of these communities say about Western society? And what can we do about it? In the course of his journey he meets incels, enlists on a bootcamp for so-called alpha males, and speaks to modern day Hugh Hefners using social media to broadcast their jet set lifestyles to millions of followers. Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, fascinating international case studies, data, cultural analysis and history, Lost Boys is an essential guide to the crisis in contemporary masculinity.

Stanley Aronowitz was a towering figure on the American left for over sixty years. Both a tireless organizer and a militant social and political theorist, Aronowitz was a highly perceptive analyst of class power. He was dedicated throughout his career to the development and circulation of conceptual weapons for the working class and for all those who faced oppression within American society.Live Theory is a crucial introduction to an indispensable thinker, bringing together in thirteen seminal essays Aronowitzs theoretical contributions to fundamental questions regarding science, class, culture, and education, alongside his pioneering interventions on labor, contract unionism, and the struggle for radical democracy.Praise for Stanley Aronowitz:"One of Americas most prominent social theorists."The Brooklyn Rail"Stanley Aronowitz is a national treasure." Peter McLaren, UCLA"Stanley Aronowitz is the most important scholar on the past and present US working class."Cornel West"Stanley was a distinguished scholar of labor, work, unions, class, education, American politics, and Marxism. [] [False Promises] is the most wide-ranging exploration of working-class consciousness Ive ever read. [] A fighting left needs more people like him []."Jamie McCallum, Jacobin"Through his radical and relentless pursuit of knowledge and justice, Aronowitz provided a blueprint for living an intellectual life that matters to those of us who refuse to accept the status quo."Eric Weiner, Montclair State University
