Humans have long transformed the planet, scratching its surface for stones and ores, planting and harvesting crops, sparking fires for light and heat. But since the dawn of industrialization and especially since 1950, our impact has accelerated sharply. Economic, technological, and demographic changes have driven rapid and ongoing shifts in patterns of pollution, human health, and rising sea level and temperatures.

Otage du cirque démocratique, Monsieur Moyen vote, râle, consomme, renonce. Il se résigne à son destin confisqué, à sa nation défigurée. Plutôt fuir qu’affronter ses responsabilités. Plutôt ramper que se battre. Le mal gagne donc par forfait.

Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care.

More people traveled internationally in 2019 than in any year in history. After COVID began its rapid spread throughout the world, though, international travel plummeted, and nations across the world hardened their borders. For the first time, governments took the same tools that have been used against less privileged migrants and asylum seekers and turned them on citizens from countries that had long enjoyed relatively unfettered travel—and sometimes on their own citizens.

Tip of the Spear boldly and compellingly argues that prisons are a domain of hidden warfare within US borders. With this book, Orisanmi Burton explores what he terms the Long Attica Revolt, a criminalized tradition of Black radicalism that propelled rebellions in New York prisons during the 1970s. The reaction to this revolt illuminates what Burton calls prison pacification: the coordinated tactics of violence, isolation, sexual terror, propaganda, reform, and white supremacist science and technology that state actors use to eliminate Black resistance within and beyond prison walls.

صدر هذا الكتاب عام 1998، ويضمُّ مجموعة من أهم مقالات الدكتور مصطفى محمود التي تتناول مظاهر التدهور القِيَمِي والأخلاقي الذي تشهده الحياة المعاصرة نتيجة التطورات الفكرية والاجتماعية والسياسية، وكيف تحوَّل المشهد المعاصر إلى العنف والدموية والصراخ والتشنُّج، وكيف تسبب كل ذلك في الشقاء والإرهاق الذي أصاب الأغلبية العظمى من الناس. ومن ناحية أخرى يُقدِّم تحليلًا للمشهد السياسي الذي تقوم أمريكا بإخراجه وتنفيذه لصالح أجندتها الاستعمارية، من دعمها للوجود الصهيوني في المنطقة، وتمويلها للتطرف والإرهاب والأيدي الخفِيِّة التي تعبث من وراء الستار.
