The nations of the Global North are responding to the climate change emergency with emissions trading schemes and alternative sources of energy. Meanwhile, nations of the Global South, still emerging from historical exploitation under colonialism, face decisions about natural resource use that are, for traditional owners and inhabitants of resource-rich lands, often a matter of life or death. Environmental lawyer and legal scholar Arpitha Kodiveri has worked alongside many of Indias forest-dwelling communities and describes how they bear the cost of both rapacious mining development and increasing pressure for forest land to be set aside for environmental conservation. Despite these challenges, Kodiveri shows how the traditional owners and inhabitants of forest areas are driving creative solutions in forest law. Hope can be found here, in each communitys unique vision of co-governance, expressed in the language of care and repair.

A bold argument for piracy as a system of knowledge sharing, cultural preservation, and political resistance.What if copying and sharing media, acts frequently labeled as piracy, were understood as part of a vast cultural infrastructure that sustains knowledge? The General Library dismantles the myth that piracy is theft, demonstrating how unauthorized modes of distribution and access can act as techniques for cultural preservation, political expression, and everyday resistance. Rather than reinforcing the industry narrative that piracy drains resources, Abigail De Kosnik argues that unauthorized access provides essential pathways to learning, belonging, and survivalparticularly for marginalized communities often excluded from official channels.Drawing on in-depth oral history interviews with media users who identify as fans, pirates, and intensive consumers, De Kosnik traces how Black, brown, queer, disabled, and poor communities use illicit access to explore identity, build communities of care, and imagine futures otherwise rendered inaccessible by techno-capitalism. She also examines how definitions of piracy are shifting with the rise of AI, as corporations scrape copyrighted works to train LLMsan example of illicit copying on a massive scale that dwarfs any act of appropriation committed by individual consumers.

How and why the current public engagement model has run its courseand how AI-assisted listening at scale can help.We often assume that citizen participation is the biggest barrier to effective representation. In fact, governments are sitting on mountains of civic data that they cannot effectively process.In How Institutions Listen, Eric Gordon shows how we can marshal this wealth of data with human-centered AImaking sense of the available civic data, acting upon it, and, in turn, restoring public trust.Bridging theory and practice, the book introduces the concept of listening at scalean institutional capacity to listen, which means to not only gather input, but to discern, respond, and evolve in dialogue with the public. It tracks trends in digital governance, from open data to civic tech dashboards, and critiques how contemporary tools can harm communities by reducing their participation to data extraction.Through richly researched case studiesfrom city governments deploying sentiment analysis to community-centered design effortsthe book shows how listening is being reshaped by digital infrastructures, and how those infrastructures, in turn, reshape the meaning of voice and representation. Rather than promoting more apps or surveys, the author urges a reorientation: designing institutions that can engage with complexity, ambiguity, and dissent without defaulting to control.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Franchise comes the untold story of the pioneering Black women artists and activists who were seen, but barely heard, at the 1963 March on WashingtonChatelain teaches us how to tell fuller, truer stories. This is the model for recovering what we have been quick to forget.Caleb Gayle, author of Black MosesThere is no shortage of footage immortalizing the men who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, when 250,000 Americans gathered beneath the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to segregation. There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack iconsand of course the days headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement. But there is no class photo of the Black women who helped organize the march, performed on its main stage, or were honored during its Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom.In How Bright the Path Grows, Marcia Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of these singular women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker, civil rights activist Rosa Parks, gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the days musical program; and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black womens work.How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionariessome famous, others soon to bein novelistic detail and like never seen before.

A sweeping and revelatory history of the hidden tradition of Jewish thinkers who opposed Zionism from Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser. In Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, Benjamin Moser uncovers a suppressed tradition that has shaped Jewish thought for generations. Through a cast of artists, rabbis, poets, lawyers, activists, journalists and politicians from Europe and Africa and Asia and Latin America Moser traces a lineage of Jewish dissenters who confronted Zionisms moral and political stakes often at devastating personal cost, including censorship, exile and death. Their lives form a sweeping, global narrative that dismantles a powerful myth: that anti-Zionism is synonymous with antisemitism. Spanning continents and centuries, these voices people from the right and the left, Reform and Orthodox, Ashkenazic and Sephardic, men and women, gay and straight differ sharply in belief and background, yet converge on a shared warning about the consequences of a nationalist project built on exclusion. What emerges is not only a rediscovered tradition of Jewish moral thought, but a startling reappraisal of Zionism itself. Mosers work restores the full scale and depth of Jewish ethical imagination, affirming that Judaism is older and larger than any single political project. Lucid, unsparing and deeply humane, Anti-Zionism cements Mosers place as one of our foremost Jewish writers and presents a framework through which this history and its meanings will be understood for years to come.

A Ms. Magazine"Most Anticipated Feminist Books of 2026" PickGives voice to the Black women whose lives were devastated by the carceral system and sheds powerful light on its slavery-based roots to transform how we think about mass incarcerationHistorian Talitha L. LeFlouria centers Black women at the core of a fresh argument: that the system of mass incarceration was established as protection for the institution of slavery and the profits of enslavers and that this legacy continues today.For centuries, Black women in America have experienced extreme rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration in the nations jails and prisons, yet their experiences have often been overlooked in favor of Black mens.Arguing that the merger between profit and punishment continues to keep Black people bound, LeFlouria traces the connection between enslavement and incarceration, revealing how they have always been intertwinedfrom the domestic slave trade of 1810-1865, when an estimated one million people were incarcerated in privately owned slave jails, to the post-Civil War era when Black people were enslaved through new systems of state-sponsored mass incarceration, and through to today.Using archival sources and personal testimonies, LeFlouria tells a new origin story of mass incarceration with the stories of numerous Black women throughout history, including:· Delia Garlic, who was incarcerated in a slave jail and later sold to a sheriff at the height of the domestic slave trade· Eliza Purdy, who was jailed and sold to the highest bidder a year after the Civil War ended, and· Susan Burton, who was commodified and trafficked through a 20th-century cell block, much like an enslaved person on the auction block 200 years prior.

What happens when an ordinary person, one of us, commits an unspeakable act without any memory of it?Its a cold, grey morning. You open the front door, slightly hungover and fairly exhausted, and stop in your tracks. Lying bloodied and beaten on the driveway is the motionless body of your father. He is dead killed in a violent frenzy. You dont remember what happened, and in fact you never will, but, you will soon discover, you are the one who killed him In Any One of Us, barrister Ramya Nagesh reveals that the line between good and evil can be far more blurred than we care to admit. Through the lens of gripping real-life cases, Nagesh challenges our perceptions of conventional morality and culpability, reveals the limitations of the justice system, and invites us to ask the question: could it happen to me? Drawing on trial documents, personal experience, and expert testimony, Nagesh navigates the complexities of sleepwalking, hormonal imbalances, and other unforeseen circumstances that have led to tragic outcomes. Cases include a woman who was found by a court to have been suffering from severe pre-menstrual syndrome when she accelerated her car at her boyfriend and crushed him to death. Or a man who could never have predicted that his night terrors would make him unconsciously strangle to death the love of his life. From the courtroom to the crime scene, Any One of Us invites readers on a thought-provoking journey that confronts uncomfortable truths about human nature.
