Towards Palestinian Liberation
While awareness and global solidarity with Palestine have grown, mainstream frameworks often remain narrowly focused. Common approaches typically confine the issue to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, or reduce solidarity to a matter of human rights and international law violations.
Although engaging formal institutions to end Israel’s genocide, apartheid, and occupation is a necessary strategy, such a focus can inadvertently depoliticize the Palestinian struggle. It frequently overlooks the foundational settler-colonial nature of the Israeli state, the unwavering material and ideological support it receives from Western powers, and Palestine’s profound significance within broader historical and contemporary anti-colonial movements.
The ongoing Western-backed genocide has starkly revealed the political divergence between the West and the Global South. In contrast to institutional complicity and failure, the enduring legacy of anti-colonial solidarity across the Global South has resurfaced as a vital force. As liberal international systems prove ineffective, rebuilding and strengthening transnational solidarity networks has become an urgent imperative to halt the genocide and achieve a liberated Palestine.
A deeper understanding requires a framework that connects Palestine to wider regional dynamics, global power structures, and the long arc of anti-colonial resistance. Towards Palestinian Liberation is an edited volume that reaffirms the Palestinian struggle as an intersectional and transnational anti-colonial fight.
Bringing together diverse perspectives from scholars and activists worldwide, this collection moves beyond mainstream narratives. It explores the interconnectedness of global struggles, examines the role of economic and political interests, and critically assesses the opportunities and challenges facing international solidarity movements. This book is essential for anyone committed to understanding—and advancing—the cause of justice and liberation in Palestine.

Taking up the Spear
Taking Up the Spear is the firsthand account of Shadrack Maphumulo, an ordinary South African who becomes a freedom fighter against apartheid. The narrative traces his life from a rural Zulu childhood, shaped by stories of the Bambatha Rebellion, to his early working years in Durban where he faces systemic racism, slave wages, and the humiliating pass laws. His entrepreneurial dreams—first a taxi, then a shop—are systematically crushed by a white supremacist government that reserves prosperity for whites, forcing him to realize that individual effort cannot overcome the oppressive system.
Radicalized, Maphumulo joins the trade union movement SACTU and later the banned ANC and its armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK). He details his rudimentary training in sabotage and participates in several missions, including bombing an Afrikaner newspaper office and attacking municipal beer halls. Arrested in 1963, he endures brutal torture and solitary confinement before being sentenced to ten years on Robben Island. On the island, he details the horrific conditions, daily beatings, and hunger strikes, but also the political education and solidarity among prisoners. After his release in 1975, he resumes underground work, leading to another arrest, torture, and banning. The story ends with his escape into exile in Swaziland, where he continues the struggle. The epilogue reveals his assassination by South African security forces in 1986, cementing his legacy as a hero who sacrificed everything for a free South Africa.

Returning to the Source
Returning to the Source offers a bold and critical examination of Kenya’s political evolution, tracing how colonial rule laid the groundwork for an exclusionary democracy that persists today. The book dissects the contradictions at the heart of the nation’s post-independence politics—from elite handshakes and voter cynicism to the repeated stalling of leftist organising. Moving beyond conventional histories, the author explores why socialist movements in Kenya have struggled to gain traction, examining internal rivalries, caution, and the lingering shadows of figures like Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and the banned Kenya People’s Union (KPU). The book also sheds light on the complex, contradictory unity among leaders such as Kenyatta, Mboya, and Odinga, and argues for a politics based on listening and moral authority rather than raw power. Crucially, Returning to the Source confronts the erasure of women from political memory and the patriarchal shackles that continue to limit liberation. It calls for localising heroism and recovering indigenous political intelligence as essential tools for rebuilding genuine socialist organising. By recovering erased histories and championing local heroes, the book offers both a critique and a path forward—urging a return to listening, collective action, and a more inclusive, transformative politics for Kenya and beyond.
The author is a Kenyan political thinker, organiser, and scholar whose work sits at the intersection of history, socialist theory, and grassroots mobilisation. Drawing on decades of engagement with social movements and a deep commitment to recovering suppressed narratives, they bring both academic rigour and lived political experience to the page. Having themselves been imprisoned and tortured for their political beliefs, the author writes not from abstract detachment but from the brutal reality of state repression. This personal history of surviving state violence infuses every chapter, lending the book an urgent moral weight and an unflinching honesty. Their writing challenges conventional hero worship and instead centres collective action, indigenous intelligence, and the often-overlooked roles of women and local figures in liberation struggles. Returning to the Source is the culmination of a lifelong commitment forged in resistance—understanding why progressive change in Kenya has repeatedly faltered, and how it might yet be revived through courage, listening, and solidarity.

The Price of Dignity

The Price of Dignity
USD $ 21.50The Price of Dignity chronicles the extraordinary life of Patrocinia Polanco Rivas, a Salvadoran peasant woman whose personal story embodies the Central American struggle for survival and justice. The narrative follows her from a childhood of desperate poverty in the 1970s, through her family’s involvement in grassroots movements inspired by liberation theology and the murdered priest Rutilio Grande.
As civil war engulfs El Salvador, Patrocinia’s family is drawn into the conflict. She experiences the horror of scorched-earth tactics, lethal aerial bombardments, and the trauma of forced displacement (guindas). After losing her father to a bomb and suffering severe injuries herself, she leaves the war at her mother’s request. The postwar period, however, brings new struggles. Despite the hope of the 1992 Peace Accords, neoliberal policies and enduring poverty force Patrocinia’s family into a relentless battle for survival, cutting sugarcane for meager wages.
This economic desperation ultimately dismantles her family, as her husband and, one by one, her six children are forced to migrate illegally to the United States. The book’s second half becomes a searing indictment of U.S. immigration policy. It juxtaposes the dangerous journeys of her children—marked by cartel violence and exploitation—with the cruel, dehumanizing rhetoric of Donald Trump, who labels them “criminals” and “rapists.” Patrocinia is left alone in El Salvador, her utopian dream of dignity replaced by the anguish of a separated family, haunted by a past of war and a present of political disillusionment under Nayib Bukele. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the ongoing price of dignity.

Beyond the Neocolonial
USD $ 7.99 USD $ 30.00Price range: USD $ 7.99 through USD $ 30.00Humanity faces existential crises driven by the persistence of neocolonial capitalism and a state form that continues to de-humanise the majority. In Beyond the Neocolonial, Michael Neocosmos argues that the failure to enable, let alone to realise the popular desire for freedom in post-independence Africa lies in the continuity of the colonial state and the dominance of analytical, statist thought over the transformative power of the dialectic.
Tracing the genealogy of emancipatory politics from the ancient wisdom of Egypt’s Ma’at and Ionia’s isonomia to the revolutionary theories of Lenin, Mao, Fanon, and Cabral, Neocosmos asserts that politics must be understood as a collective thought-practice of universal equality. He challenges the “stasis” of the current world order by recovering silenced histories of African popular inventiveness: from the egalitarian society constructed by the Bossales in Haiti to the mass democratic experiments of the United Democratic Front in South Africa.
Critiquing the exhausted “party form” and the myth of the “heroic liberator,” the book highlights the emancipatory potential within African popular culture, arguing that proverbs and the Palaver contain latent prescriptions for resolving contradictions and healing community. This work is a call to abandon the “epistemology of ignorance” and revive a dialectics of becoming, locating the agency for a truly human future not in the state, but in the masses who make history.

Viyyukka – The Morning Star (Vol 2)
USD $ 5.00 USD $ 26.00Price range: USD $ 5.00 through USD $ 26.00Edited by P. Aravinda and B. Anuradha
This second volume of Viyyukka continues the powerful anthology of stories written by women revolutionaries in India’s Maoist movement, translated from Telugu to English. The collection brings together narratives penned by guerrilla soldiers who document their lived experiences within the revolutionary struggle, offering rare insights into the intersection of armed resistance, gender politics, and Adivasi community life.
The stories span four decades of revolutionary movement history, capturing both tactical engagements and intimate human moments—love, loss, camaraderie, and daily existence in guerrilla squads. What distinguishes this volume is the inclusion of autobiographical sketches by Adivasi women, narrated in their own tongues, detailing the circumstances that led them to become guerrillas. These first-person accounts reveal how poverty, land dispossession, state repression, and patriarchal violence converge to shape revolutionary consciousness.
Set primarily in the Dandakaranya forest region spanning multiple Indian states, the narratives illuminate the movement’s efforts to build alternative structures of governance through Janatana Sarkars (people’s governments), which implemented collective farming, education, healthcare, and resistance to mining corporations. The stories confront the brutal reality of state counter-insurgency operations including Salwa Judum and Operation Green Hunt, while celebrating the resilience of women who constitute nearly half the guerrilla army.
The collection demonstrates how women revolutionaries perform multiple roles—soldiers, writers, historians, doctors, and teachers—documenting their own history while fighting for land, dignity, and self-determination. These are not conventional fictions but testimonies written under extreme duress, smuggled across regions and preserved against overwhelming odds, offering a window into one of India’s most significant contemporary resistance movements.
This is a powerful and timely book. Reading Viyyukka is to encounter history in its most urgent form: not as abstract doctrine, but as the lived, written, and too-often silenced testimony of women for whom the pen was as vital as the gun. This anthology does not simply add voices to a historical record; it fundamentally questions the record itself. By foregrounding the female guerrilla imaginary—with its profound complexities of comradeship, grief, motherhood, and even the critique of revolutionary justice—these stories exceed the boundaries of political propaganda to become essential documents of human endurance and creativity. In a time when their politics is declared defeated, the women of Viyyukka remind us that some struggles are not measured by victory alone, but by the indestructible insistence on bearing witness. — Sharmila Purkayastha, independent researcher, New Delhi

94A6325
USD $ 7.99 USD $ 25.00Price range: USD $ 7.99 through USD $ 25.0094A6325 is the compelling coming-of-age memoir of Dr. Kirk “Jae” James, a Black male, Jamaican immigrant, and father, chronicling his nearly decade-long experience (3,268 days) within the New York State carceral apparatus. The narrative is anchored by his arrest on April 13, 1994, when he was 18 years old, charged under the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws and subsequently sentenced to life in prison. The story details his survival in infamous facilities such as Rikers Island, the maximum-security adolescent prison “The Cat” (Coxsackie), and Wyoming, where he fought to maintain his humanity while facing overwhelming fear and anxiety.
The book powerfully illustrates how legislative actions like the 13th Amendment, “tough on crime” rhetoric, the 1994 Crime Bill, and the 1996 Immigration laws acted as contemporary black codes and slave catchers, perpetually dehumanizing and criminalizing Black and brown populations. Jae endures three denials by the Parole Board while simultaneously fighting a six-year battle against a mandatory deportation order.
Drawing inspiration from mentors and comrades—including revolutionaries and activists like George Jackson and Pops—Jae transforms his time in prison into a quest for knowledge and self-actualization, culminating in earning an Associate Degree and winning his 212c waiver hearing against deportation in 2002.
More than just a survival story, 94A6325 serves as a vital first-person account and a call to embrace Abolition. The author, now a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU, shares his journey as essential knowledge needed to confront the historical violence and systemic white supremacy woven into American democracy, urging readers to imagine a world without human cages, grounded in abundance and love. The story officially ends with his release on March 25, 2003.
This book is the first part in a series, with this one focusing on his incarceration from 1994 to 2003.
Dr Kirk “Jae James” talks about the book. The event centered on Dr. Kirk James’ memoir “94A6325: Coming of Age in the Era of Mass Incarceration,” which explores his nearly 9-year incarceration experience and its broader implications for systemic injustice. The panel discussion included Councilman Yusuf Salam, Dr. Michelle Munson, and Dr. Pierre Hargrove, who engaged in a conversation about the human impact of mass incarceration, the importance of community support during incarceration, and the ongoing challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals. The participants shared personal experiences and insights, highlighting the need for systemic change, the power of storytelling, and the resilience of those affected by the criminal justice system. The event aimed to foster reflection and dialogue on the structural harms of mass incarceration and the potential for collective healing and transformation. Watch the video here.

Form as History
USD $ 12.00 USD $ 16.00Price range: USD $ 12.00 through USD $ 16.00Form as History: When History No Longer Requires Us offers a concise and penetrating critique of contemporary historical thought. It argues that while modern scholarship has made Muslim life increasingly legible as a site of ethics, resistance, and normativity, this achievement can obscure a more unsettling condition: that history itself has learned to proceed without requiring meaning, address, or human obligation.A rigorous and unsettling meditation on what it means to live in a world where history continues to function, but no longer feels compelled to answer to human life.The book turns on a central tension. On one side stands the European figure of the Muselmann, drawn from Holocaust testimony, who reveals history’s capacity to continue efficiently while no longer demanding anything from the humans it governs. This is not loss, but abandonment. On the other side stands the Muslim, rendered in modern discourse as a knowable and agentive subject of history. The book shows how an emphasis on this agency can function as a displacement, allowing the radical danger exposed by the Muselmann—history’s indifference to human address—to be misread as a cultural or religious condition.What becomes of history when it no longer requires struggle, meaning, or even us, yet continues efficiently all the same?Refusing nostalgia and moralizing alike, the book examines how forms of life, particularly within Muslim legal and commercial traditions, have sustained obligation and necessity even after political centrality receded. Its aim is diagnostic rather than prescriptive: to make visible the quiet threshold where life is managed rather than addressed, and to clarify how historical necessity depends not on power or visibility, but on the survival of forms that still compel the world to answer.

Jahan Malek Khatun
This book presents the first extensive English study and translation of the poetry of Jahan Malek Khatun, a fourteenth-century Persian princess and one of the most important women in the history of Persian literature. Translator Sheema Kalbasi first introduced Jahan Malek Khatun to the general English-speaking audience in 2008 through her anthology Seven Valleys of Love: A Bilingual Anthology of Women Poets from Medieval Persia to Present Day Iran, which marked the earliest appearance of Jahan’s poetry in English translation. Her surviving divan, which contains more than a thousand ghazals along with qasidas and shorter lyric forms, offers an unparalleled window into the intellectual, emotional, and cultural world of a noblewoman who wrote with clarity, restraint, and philosophical depth during a period of profound political instability.
The volume introduces readers to the historical and literary contexts that shaped her life and work, and it situates her authorship within a long Iranian tradition in which women participated in governance, education, and artistic patronage from the ancient empires through the Islamic period. It recreates the refined yet precarious milieu of fourteenth-century Shiraz, where poetry functioned not only as an aesthetic practice but also as a medium of political expression and ethical contemplation.
Through close readings, the book explores the disciplined craft of Jahan Malek Khatun’s ghazals. Her poetry turns repeatedly to a stable constellation of images, such as wind, candle, threshold, and healer, that guide the reader through themes of longing, moral endurance, sovereignty, and judgment. Each couplet acts as a brief meditation, and the poems together form a sustained inquiry into the relationship between beauty, discipline, and survival.
The study also examines the transmission of her work, the role of women as readers and preservers of literary culture, and the challenges inherent in translating a voice shaped by both privilege and constraint. Through this analysis and the accompanying translations, Jahan Malek Khatun emerges as a major intellectual presence and an essential figure for understanding the richness and complexity of the Persian lyric tradition.
