Red Genes, Blue Genes
Exposing Political Irrationality
Guillermo C. Jiménez
Modern science postulates that our political predispositions can be traced to our genes. To some extent, there is such a thing as “red-state” or “blue-state” DNA.Our brains likewise bear the evolutionary imprint of hundreds of thousands of years of political wiring — for biased partisanship. The result is a political landscape characterized by irrationality and hostility.
Americans today, like citizens of many other countries, find themselves trapped in hostile “red” vs. “blue” political warfare. While liberals and
conservatives fight each other for power and influence, the world’s problems go unsolved.Using recent scientific evidence from neuroscience, behavioral genetics, and evolutionary and cognitive psychology, Red Genes, Blue Genes is the first book to take a comprehensive look at the phenomenon of political irrationality.
This book seeks to unravel a number of political mysteries:
➤ Why does it seem that liberals and conservatives are different kinds of people?...

Gynocide
Hysterectomy, Capitalist Patriarchy and the Medical Abuse of Women
Edited by Mariarosa Dalla CostaHow much of contemporary medical practice still derives from a practice rooted in the witch-hunts that plagued Europe from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century, and burned at the stake, after horrible torture, hundreds of thousands of midwives and healers along with other poor women — the greatest sexocide in recorded history?
Women’s bodies and their medical knowledge were burned on those stakes to be replaced by a male “science” and a male gynecological profession controlled by the state and church. Has history run its course? Or, among the many reasons given today for hysterectomies, does its abuse still conceal, more or less covertly, a yearning for male domination over women’s bodies that reaches this most lethal form of conquest because it expropriates and destroys what makes a body a woman’s body?

From Crisis to Commons
Midnight Notes Collective and Friends
“Crisis: What it is, What it is notAfter five hundred years of existence, capitalists are once again announcing to us that their system is in crisis. They are urging everyone to make sacrifices to save its life. We are told that if we do not make these sacrifices, we together face the prospect of a mutual shipwreck. Such threats should be taken seriously. Already in every part of the planet, workers are paying the price of the crisis in retrenchment, mass unemployment, lost pensions, foreclosures, and death.”

Derek Pell
A pataphysical interpretation of the Warren Report on the assassination of JFK, which Pell argues should stand as a hallmark of postmodernist fiction. We can testify that, in the annals of conspiracy theory, no one has ever seen anything like Pell’s document. A poetic expose of curtain rods, bullet design, and grassy knolls, with a journey through Oswald’s secret diary.Beyond Bookchin

Preface for a Future Social Ecology
David WatsonThis book is the most comprehensive discussion to date of Murray Bookchin’s social ecology. But David Watson goes far beyond social ecology to explore new paths of thinking about radical politics. His visionary ecology challenges the mystique of progress and proposes a more holistic notion of reason both primal and modern, skeptical and mythopoetic.
