North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since.

God and the State by Mikhail Bakunin. God and the State is Mikhail Bakunin's famous, unfinished anarchist work, published posthumously in 1882, that critiques religion and government as oppressive forces that control individuals. He argues that the state uses the concept of God to justify its authority and that both must be abolished for true freedom, advocating for a society based on individual liberty, voluntary association, and mutual cooperation. The book is a foundational text in anarchist theory, arguing that "facts are before ideas" and that material conditions shape history, while ...

We should care not simply because of its impact on productivity and growth, but because it's wrong. It's wrong that some don't have enough money to eat whilst others fly wagyu beef halfway across the planet for a couple of amusing mouthfuls.

On February 18, 1965, an overflowing crowd packed the Cambridge Union in Cambridge, England, to witness a historic televised debate between James Baldwin, the leading literary voice of the civil rights movement, and William F.

Nicholas Buccola's The Fire Is upon Us is the first book to tell the full story of the event.

The arts of conversation and diplomatic speech are learned and practiced at tables, and a political history of food practices recasts thoughtfulness and generosity as virtues that enhance civil society and democracy.
