![]() “This fight against extradition to mainland China is seen as the violation of the last firewall protecting Hong Kong from Beijing,” said Victoria Hui, an associate professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame. The bill has released years of collective rage not only against a political oligarchy, rigged to disenfranchise the great majority of the metropolis’ 7.2 million highly educated citizens, but also against the looming menace of Beijing. But the protesters are not pacified by a deferral. Consecutive weeks of unrest forced the government to suspend the controversial proposal. Opposition to the bill, which critics fear would enable Beijing to round up local dissidents and detractors, has united business owners, families, church groups and bespectacled students, galvanizing them into millions-strong marches. But it has since swelled into a broader struggle for democracy, and a repudiation of Chinese sovereignty over the enclave. The political crisis gripping Asia’s financial capital this summer kicked off over a bill that would allow, for the first time, extradition to mainland China. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Castagnet is considered one of the most promising new voices in Latin American literature and Bodies of Summer shows us why. Using Ramiro himself as an avatar, Castagnet walks us through a stifling new version of reality where sex, gender, identity, religion, and politics are defined by the limitless possibilities of the human body. In the shell of this new body, Ramiro must adjust to the dizzying transformations that the world has undergone since his death. Ramiros grandson, however, can only afford the body of an overweight middle-aged woman. The need to settle an old score pushes Ramiro Olivaires to move from the comfort of virtual existence back into a human body. Death is only an interruption as souls can be uploaded to the web and new bodies can be purchased by those wishing to reenter the physical world. A partir de 9,99 al mes tras el periodo de prueba.

Chomsky eloquently refutes the notion of anarchism as a fixed idea, suggesting that it is part of a living, evolving tradition, and he disputes the traditional fault lines between anarchism and socialism, emphasizing the power of collective, rather than individualist, action. The book gathers his essays and interviews to provide a short, accessible introduction to his distinctively optimistic brand of anarchism. On Anarchism sheds a much-needed light on the foundations of Chomsky’s thought, specifically his constant questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. Known for his brilliant evisceration of American foreign policy, state capitalism, and the mainstream media, Chomsky remains a formidable and unapologetic critic of established authority and perhaps the world’s most famous anarchist. In On Anarchism, radical linguist, philosopher, and activist Noam Chomsky provides it. ![]() With the specter of anarchy being invoked by the Right to sow fear, a cogent explanation of the political philosophy known as anarchism has never been more urgently needed. ![]() ![]() ![]() It will introduce a whole new generation of readers to Lovecraft's fiction, as well as being a must-buy for those fans who want all his work in a single, definitive, highly attractive volume.
