Recognising the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative by Isabella Hammad is £1 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Interview on Between the Covers
Quote:
An urgent and moving essay on the Palestinian struggle and the power of narrative from the Women’s Prize shortlisted author of Enter Ghost.

Award-winning author Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Lecture at Columbia University nine days before 7 October 2023. The text of Hammad’s seminal speech and her afterword written in the early weeks of 2024 together make up a searing appraisal of the war on Palestine during what feels like a turning point in the narrative of human history.

Moving and erudite, Recognising the Stranger is a brilliant melding of literary and cultural analysis in which Hammad sheds true light on the Palestinian struggle for freedom.

Timothy Snyder, who is probably best known for his book, On Tyranny, and whose Yale online course, The Making of Modern Ukraine, my husband and I watched and learned a ton from, has a new book out, aptly named, On Freedom. It's on sale right now in the UK for £0.99 as part of today's Kindle Daily Deal for a few more hours, and matched at Kobo UK.

Quote:
'Visionary ... buy or borrow this book, read it, take it to heart' OBSERVER
‘Everyone who cares about freedom should read this book’ ANNE APPLEBAUM
‘Passionate, intimate, compelling – a clarion call’ PHILIPPE SANDS

A brilliant exploration of freedom – what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival from the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny

Freedom is our great commitment, but we have lost sight of what it means – leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: we think we’re free if we can do and say as we please. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from, as freedom to – the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible.

Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. Intimate yet ambitious, this book forges a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity and grace.

On Tyranny inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom; On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy.

‘In these hard times for liberty, On Freedom makes the case that freedom, once explored and understood, is the way forward’ PRESIDENT ZELENSKY

This month's University of Chicago Press free e-book is Sex on the Kitchen Table: The Romance of Plants and Your Food, by Norman C. Ellstrand. (It's an ePUB this time. Guess they got enough complaints?)

“The sex life of an avocado might seem anything but lurid. Geneticist Ellstrand, however, reveals it as a riot of romantic yearning and ‘sex switching.’ In his foray into the nexus of food, science, and plant reproduction, we enter that alternative universe in which olives and quinces are really vehicles for seeds, the tomato (the ‘love apple’ of yore) is self-fertile, and cultivated bananas are female-sterile. You’ll become reacquainted with the pistil, and wonder at the sugar beet’s rise ‘from a cascade of geopolitical incidents.’ Nutrition might never seem the same again.” — Nature

This month's University of Chicago Press free e-book is The Angel in the Marketplace: Adwoman Jean Wade Rindlaub and the Selling of America by Ellen Wayland-Smith.

“Wayland-Smith’s lively history tells the unusual story of pioneering adwoman Jean Wade Rindlaub, who climbed the ladder from secretary to executive in the mid-twentieth century. Wayland-Smith insightfully shows how Rindlaub touted motherhood, home, love, and Christian service as the cornerstones of the free market and free world, but how late in life she became a campaigner for social justice. The Angel in the Marketplace illuminates one woman’s journey from advocating traditional notions of women’s place and the benefits of capitalism to questioning the underlying message of the ads she produced.”— Kathy Peiss, author of Hope in a Jar: The Making of America’s Beauty Culture

The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O. Paxton is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
What is fascism? By focusing on the concrete: what the fascists did, rather than what they said, the esteemed historian Robert O. Paxton answers this question.

From the first violent uniformed bands beating up “enemies of the state,” through Mussolini’s rise to power, to Germany’s fascist radicalization in World War II, Paxton shows clearly why fascists came to power in some countries and not others, and explores whether fascism could exist outside the early-twentieth-century European setting in which it emerged.

This month's University of Chicago Press free e-book is Being Somebody and Black Besides: An Untold Memoir of Midcentury Black Life by George B. Nesbitt.

“If his story comes off unremarkable, that’s because he presented himself as unremarkable. Which is an odd thing to write. To say Nesbitt was ordinary is to suggest guts, humility and decency are ordinary.” — The Chicago Tribune
