Since September 11, public discourse has often been framed in terms of absolutes: an age of innocence gives way to a present under siege, while the United States and its allies face off against the Axis of Evil. This special issue of Social Text aims to move beyond these binaries toward thoughtful analysis. The editors argue that the challenge for the Left is to develop an antiterrorism stance that acknowledges the legacy of U.S. trade and foreign policy as well as the diversity of the Muslim faith and the dangers presented by fundamentalism of all kinds.Examining the strengths and shortcomings of area, race, and gender studies in the search for understanding, this issue considers cross-cultural feminism as a means of combating terrorism; racial profiling of Muslims in the context of other racist logics; and the homogenization of dissent. The issue includes poetry, photographic work, and an article by Judith Butler on the discursive space surrounding the attacks of September 11. This impressive range of contributions questions the meaning and implications of the events of September 11 and their aftermath.Contributors. Muneer Ahmad, Meena Alexander, Lopamudra Basu, Judith Butler, Zillah Eisenstein, Stefano Harney, Randy Martin, Rosalind C. Morris, Fred Moten, Sandrine Nicoletta, Yigal Nizri, Jasbir K. Puar, Amit S.

In 1969, Martin Kilson became the first tenured African American professor at Harvard University, where he taught African and African American politics for over thirty years. In A Black Intellectual's Odyssey, Kilson takes readers on a fascinating journey from his upbringing in the small Pennsylvania milltown of Ambler to his experiences attending Lincoln University-the country's oldest HBCU-to pursuing graduate study at Harvard before spending his entire career there as a faculty member. This is as much a story of his travels from the racist margins of twentieth-century America to one of the nation's most prestigious institutions as it is a portrait of the places that shaped him. He gives a sweeping sociological tour of Ambler as a multiethnic, working-class company town while sketching the social, economic, and racial elements that marked everyday life. From narrating the area's history of persistent racism and the racial politics in the integrated schools to describing the Black church's role in buttressing the town's small Black community, Kilson vividly renders his experience of northern small-town life during the 1930s and 1940s. At Lincoln University, Kilson's liberal political views coalesced as he became active in the local NAACP chapter. While at Lincoln and during his graduate work at Harvard, Kilson observed how class, political, and racial dynamics influenced his peers' political engagement, diverse career paths, and relationships with white people. As a young professor, Kilson made a point of assisting Harvard's African American students in adapting to life at a white institution. Throughout his career, Kilson engaged in pioneering scholarship while mentoring countless students. A Black Intellectual's Odyssey features contributions from three of his students: a foreword by Cornel West and an afterword by Stefano Harney and Fred Moten.

Hortense Spillers is one of the most important literary critics and Black feminist scholars of the last fifty years. Her 1987 scholarly article “Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe: An American Grammar Book” is one of the most-cited essays in African American literary studies. Edited by Margo Natalie Crawford and C. Riley Snorton, The Flesh of the Matter: A Critical Forum on Hortense Spillers is the first collection to take up directly how Spillers’s writing on literature, culture, and theory have been signal posts to the varied and universal threads of Black thought, as well as countless other areas of the academy. Interspersed with archival fragments from Spillers’s papers kept at the Pembroke Center for Feminist Thought at Brown University, the fourteen essays in this collection demonstrate a fidelity to the ways of reading Spillers has taught us, the nomenclature of enslavement keyed into the American lexicon, and the ways that history permeates our cultural boundaries today.

Efter att ha uthärdat ett halvsekel av en allt hårdare ockupation utforskar palestinierna nu olika vägar för att uppnå fred. De för en kamp för sina rättigheter i enlighet med internationell lag i sådana fora som FN och Internationella domstolen i Haag, samtidigt som de söker stöd i global solidaritet och fredlig aktivitet genom Rörelsen för bojkott, desinvestering och sanktioner (BDS). Richard Falk har studerat Israel/Palestina-konflikten inifrån under sin långa internationella verksamhet. I ”Palestinas horisont” ser han närmare på de pågående förändringarna och ger en ingående analys av en av vår tids mest kontroversiella frågor. Han undersöker sambanden och förvecklingarna i Israels och Palestinas historia och politik, samtidigt som han går in på de komplicerade relationer konflikten har skapat i det internationella samfundet. Han avvisar bestämt idén att den palestinska kampen nu skulle vara en förlorad sak och tar upp nya möjligheter att få till stånd förändringar. Han sätter därvid in den pågående konflikten i ett större sammanhang. Han reflekterar över Edward Saids arv och framhåller hans idéer som en humanistisk modell för fred, som tar hänsyn till de väldiga svårigheterna att åstadkomma en lösning. Richard Falk, född 1930, är professor emeritus i Internationell rätt vid Princeton University. Mellan 2008 och 2014 tjänade han som FN:s särskilde rapportör om situationen för de mänskliga rättigheterna i det ockuperade Palestina. Richard Falk, en av palestinafrågans mest etablerade och auktoritativa röster, framlägger här sin hittills mest genomtänkta och samlade historiska översikt. Richard Falk har författat ett tjugotal böcker, bl.a. “Palestine: The Legitimacy of Hope”, “Breeding Ground: Afghanistan and the Origins of Islamist Terrorism”, “Chaos and Counterrevolution” och “Religion and Human Global Governance”.

Boken hjälper dig till ett mer njutbart förhållande till maten, kroppen och ditt ätande. Du behöver inga tabeller, listor, vågar eller tallriksmodeller för att avgöra vad och hur mycket du ska äta. Du behöver bara lyssna till din inre vishet och kroppens egna signaler. I den här boken guidas du varsamt till en större medvetenhet, via olika övningar och tester. Samtidigt frigör du dig själv från dieter, matnojor och påtvingad självkontroll för alltid. Det kanske aldrig har funnits en mer lämplig tid för mindful eating. Eller kanske rättare sagt: ett mer skriande behov av ett medvetet förhållningssätt till mat och ätande. Vår relation till mat, näring och våra kroppar här i västvärlden har nämligen aldrig tidigare varit så motsägelsefull, komplicerad och inflammerad som nu. Vi har heller aldrig varit fetare, och tillgången på mat har aldrig varit större samtidigt som rådande norm och ideal i samhället aldrig har varit magrare. Att inte kunna leva upp till idealen skapar stress, känslor av skuld och skam och gör oss olyckliga och sjuka. Vi behöver en nystart när det gäller mat och ätande! I den här boken får du utforska ett nytt förhållningssätt som frigör dig från alla dieter, ideal, normer och kroppsnojor. Från all skuld och allt dåligt samvete.
