ISBN: 9798887440125
Condition: New
Description: Oakland, CA: PM Press, 2023. Paperback. New. 231pp. Octavo [23cm]. Illustrated wraps. "Class, Race, and Gender: Challenging the Injuries and Divisions of Capitalism is for those who want to understand the underlying connections among today’s social justice movements. Bringing forth the basic operations of capitalist economies, it reveals what is driving many of today’s most urgent and vexing problems: the common origins of the inequalities of income, wealth, and power; environmental devastation; militarism; racism and white supremacy; patriarchy and male chauvinism; periodic economic crises; and the cultural conflicts that are tearing at US life. Michael Zweig illuminates all propositions with specific examples from US history, from the first settlement of the New World to current life, including his own lived experiences as an activist, educator, and organizer over the past six decades. As such, the book is an urgently needed resource for activists and organizers seeking structural and moral transformation of life in the US. Building on his analysis, Zweig also presents strategies for political action in electoral and movement-building work." From the Publisher.

Condition: Very Good+ in Very Good dj
Description: New York: George H. Doran Company. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. (c.1924). 2nd printing ("B"). Hardcover. NOISBN . [solid copy, light shelfwear, minor fading to cloth; jacket shows wear along top and bottom edges, a few shallow chips and tiny tears, horizontal crease near top of front panel]. "The author calls his book 'a tapestry of the fortunes, follies, adventures, gallantries of a certain lovely lady and her friends and companions in this tale.' ... Mischievousness, then, is the delicate and all-important ingredient in this account of some fashionables of Mayfair." A collection of interconnected short stories (a few with fantasy/horror elements), it was published in England in 1923, a year before Arlen's sensational best-seller "The Green Hat," which vaulted him to international fame and fortune; both books were issued in the U.S. in 1924, enjoying brisk sales, and Arlen himself showed up soon after, making his first visit to America in March 1925 (when he was interviewed and profiled for the New York Times by none other than Herman Mankiewicz). "These Charming People" has been cited as the source for the 1931 film of the same name, a Paramount British production directed by Louis Mercanton and starring Cyril Maude, Godfrey Tearle and a young Ann Todd, but technically the film was derived not from the book but from its stage adaptation (by Arlen himself), which had a three-month run on Broadway in late 1925-early 1926. This is the second printing of the first American edition; jacketed copies are rather uncommon. .
