De la ZAD à la Palestine, de la marche pour le climat de New York aux camps de réfugié·es de La Chapelle en passant par le tarmac des aéroports londoniens, Juliette Rousseau, militante altermondialiste, coordinatrice de la Coalition contre la COP 21 en 2015, part à la rencontre de collectifs en lutte contre les rapports de domination liés à la classe, au genre, à la race ou encore à la condition physique et mentale à l’œuvre dans la société, collectifs qui ont aussi en commun d’interroger l’existence et la reproduction de ces mêmes rapports de domination à l’intérieur des espaces de lutte. À partir de nombreux entretiens, ce livre invite à explorer des formes d’organisation et de solidarité à même de créer les conditions de nouvelles complicités politiques qui ne soient pas aveugles aux oppressions croisées.

The Power of Nonviolence, written by Richard Bartlett Gregg in 1934 and revised in 1944 and 1959, is the most important and influential theory of principled or integral nonviolence published in the twentieth century. Drawing on Gandhi's ideas and practice, Gregg explains in detail how the organized power of nonviolence (power-with) exercised against violent opponents can bring about small and large transformative social change and provide an effective substitute for war. This edition includes a major introduction by political theorist, James Tully, situating the text in its contexts from 1934 to 1959, and showing its great relevance today. The text is the definitive 1959 edition with a foreword by Martin Luther King, Jr. It includes forewords from earlier editions, the chapter on class struggle and nonviolent resistance from 1934, a crucial excerpt from a 1929 preliminary study, a biography and bibliography of Gregg, and a bibliography of recent work on nonviolence.

Ce brûlant petit livre, écrit par un ardent compagnon de route de Notre-Dame-des-Landes, de la vallée de Suse et des « cortèges de tête » des manifestations de ces dernières années, a pour ambition de cerner la nouvelle subjectivité collective révolutionnaire qui émerge en de nombreux endroits de la planète : hétérogène, multiforme, d’une grande richesse culturelle et réflexive, parcourue de forces contradictoires mais unifiée par son ennemi même : le monde de la « révolution managériale » et de sa loi « Travaille ! », un monde qui est, indissociablement, celui des Grands Projets « inutiles et imposés », ces infrastructures (aéroports, barrages, parcs d’éoliennes, sites d’enfouissement des déchets nucléaires, etc.) qui accompagnent la métropolisation du monde et entraînent un peu partout la naissance de Zones à défendre.Les Grands Projets représentent une nécessité pour un monde qui prétend être le seul possible et reposer en tous ses aspects sur la raison : la raison de l’économiste, celle du financier, de l’ingénieur, de l’aménageur, du manager. À cette irrationnelle rationalité qui ramène tout à la mesure de l’argent, il s’agit d’opposer une recherche essentielle en ces temps de catastrophe écologique, celle de la juste mesure dans chaque réalité : dans la production de tels ou tels objets aussi bien que dans les échelles de la vie en commun. Et d’inventer, en lien étroit avec ces territoires en lutte, des savoirs, des imaginaires, des contre-cultures qui rendront possible une autre société.

In Santiago's urban shantytowns, a searing history of poverty and Chilean state violence have prompted grassroots resistance movements among the poor and working class from the 1940s to the present. Underscoring this complex continuity, Alison J. Bruey offers a compelling history of the struggle for social justice and democracy during the Pinochet dictatorship and its aftermath. As Bruey shows, crucial to the popular movement built in the 1970s were the activism of both men and women and the coalition forged by liberation-theology Catholics and Marxist-Left militants. These alliances made possible the mass protests of the 1980s that paved the way for Chile's return to democracy, but the changes fell short of many activists' hopes. Their grassroots demands for human rights encompassed not just an end to state terror but an embrace of economic opportunity and participatory democracy for all. Deeply grounded by both extensive oral history interviews and archival research, Bread, Justice, and Liberty offers innovative contributions to scholarship on Chilean history, social movements, popular protest and democratization, neoliberal economics, and the Cold War in Latin America.

Kirstie McClure offers a major reinterpretation of John Locke's thought that is important not only for the light it sheds on Locke, but also for the questions it raises about liberalism and rights-based theories of politics. Sensitive to the range of interpretative and political issues that Locke's work raises, McClure's analysis is impressive for its balance and subtlety, and for her command of the enormous literature on Locke.Between the Restoration and the Glorious Revolution, between Two Tracts on Government of 1660 and Two Treatises on Government of 1690, Locke subjected the idea of civil power to increasing scrutiny. In one generation, he moved from supporting order for its own sake to defending resistance, and ended with a profoundly modern epistemology. McClure suggests that Locke's concepts of government by consent, equality, rights, and the rule of law were embedded in his theistic cosmology.While Locke may well have been a constitutionalist, his theoretical concerns were far broader than any legal or constitutional interpretation of his work might suggest. To make this claim, she explains, is to deny neither the significance of "rights" nor the importance of institutions and consent in Locke's theoretical production. Rather, it is to insist that such themes are merely parts of a more comprehensive theoretical project, the focus of which, bluntly stated in the Second Treatise, was "to understand Political Power right."
