Nusantara Ep. 2 – National Awakening, Red Movement

Een klassieke roman van Multatuli die de koloniale uitbuiting in Nederlands-Indië aan de kaak stelt, met een focus op sociale onrechtvaardigheid en de strijd voor gerechtigheid.

Takashi Shiraishi's work explores the dynamic social and political transformations across Southeast Asia during the early 20th century, characterizing the era as an 'age in motion' of mass mobilization and political awakening. The book examines how new forms of organization, print culture, and transnational ideas reshaped societies under colonial rule, with attention to labor, peasant movements, and urban activism. Shiraishi uses comparative and archival methods to trace the connections between regional developments and global currents of anti-colonialism and modernity. The work situates local movements within broader geopolitical shifts, including the impact of revolutions and wars in Europe and Asia. It is valued among scholars for its synthesis of regional case studies and theoretical framing of early modern political mobilization.

How to End Family Policing collects essays and testimony from abolitionist organizers and scholars who argue that child welfare institutions function as systems of family policing rather than neutral protectors of children. The book examines the historical and contemporary harms produced by child protective services and proposes community-based, non-carceral alternatives to ensure safety and well-being. Contributors draw on decades of direct organizing, scholarship, and lived experience to outline practical strategies for dismantling punitive systems and building supportive social infrastructures. The volume situates family policing within broader systems of racialized social control and offers policy and movement-build­ing recommendations to redirect resources toward care. It is positioned as a resource for activists, policymakers, and community members seeking transformative approaches to child and family support.

Rising for Palestine is an edited volume that gathers essays and reflections from African and Palestinian writers, activists, and scholars exploring solidarities, decolonization, and strategies for resisting occupation and apartheid. The collection examines historical and contemporary linkages between African anti-colonial struggles and Palestinian resistance, critiquing liberal frameworks that have failed to address structural injustice. Contributors analyze political, cultural, and diplomatic dimensions of solidarity and propose frameworks for transformative international cooperation. The book situates Palestinian liberation within broader global movements against empire and neoliberal dispossession, offering both analysis and calls for action. It is positioned as a resource for activists and scholars seeking deeper, decolonial solidarities.
