Cultural Writing. History. The history of the inter-war labour movement in Britain had an endless, eclectic musical accompaniment. In this book, Duncan Hall examines the practical use that labour activists made of music in entertaining the comrades, propagating the socialist message and raising funds, as well as the formation of musical organizations and societies, and the special place given to music and song during times of struggle. The book sketches a national picture and looks in more detail at the musicality of local areas, focusing on the cities of Birmingham and Bradford.

This is an open manifesto for building direct democracy. It describes concrete political steps that fit the demands of the 21st century in many areas, such as democratic decision-making, random draws, electoral systems, institutions of governance, protection of minorities, avoidance of violent conflicts. The book deals with the main impasses of democracy: - How can we collectively hierarchise the political priorities over which we disagree? - How do we avoid the concentration of power and its use to the benefit of specific groups and classes? - How do we establish social justice even though we are individually oriented towards competition? - How do we handle as a society the fact that not all of us have comparable capacities and strengths? - Can a political system continuously transform itself, so as to apply the same principles in different circumstances? These major questions are addressed via an integrated proposal that seeks to move politics away from concentrations of power which obtain their own life and often turn us into resources for their purposes, i.e. break the "iron law of oligarchy". Political organisation is the key to social trust and social trust the key to a happy life. No amount of debate, competition or fighting can get us there. We need to organise and turn to our existence as simple, everyday citizens who keep at bay their hunger for power. Remaining simple is complicated, that is why we need a holistic political approach. Holistic Politics is a culture, an attitude between citizens. The term refers to examining our relations in a holistic way, i.e., as a whole; a total condition that deals in a direct democratic manner with our differences, and even our conflicts. Knowing each time that something is the genuine outcome of our collective free will, builds trust, tolerance and respect for difference, even when we disagree with that outcome. For a violent species that has dominated all others, this is the way forward.

One of the twentieth century’s greatest spiritual teachers examines how to maintain your benevolent motivations without falling prey to the controlling tendencies inherent in those seeking to lead others. Power, Politics, and Change: What Can I Do to Help Make the World a Better Place? takes on the conventional wisdom that “power corrupts” and proposes instead that those who seek power are already corrupt: Once they attain their goal, their corruption simply has the opportunity to express itself. That’s why even those who seek power in order to bring about radical change so often fail, despite their best intentions. Osho looks at where this “will to power” comes from, how it expresses itself not only in political institutions, but in our everyday relationships. In the process, he offers a vision of relationships and society based not on power over others, but on a recognition of the uniqueness of every individual. Featuring an original talk by Osho on DVD, you’ll experience his philosophies and values straight from the source. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Pope Francis met with French reporter and sociologist Dominique Wolton for an unprecedented series of twelve fascinating and timely conversations—open dialogues revolving around the political, cultural, and religious issues dominating communication and conflict around the world—now published in A Future of Faith: The Path of Change in Politics and Society. Inspiring and insightful, Pope Francis’s views on immigration, poverty, diversity, globalization, and more are borne from his Christian faith and basic humanity. Meeting the challenges of the twenty-first century requires compassion for those in need, a willingness to work towards common goals without domineering other cultures, and the ability to negotiate with trust, respect, and dignity. And for the first time, Pope Francis shares insights into his own personality, and the formation of his faith, including his experience with psychotherapy, and some of the most important women in his upbringing. Controversial, bold, personal, and illuminating— A Future of Faith will serve to be essential reading for not only Catholics, but those who want to see how the “people’s pope” confronts the social injustices of the world with the foresight to create positive change.

What if something as seemingly academic as the so-called science wars were to determine how we live? This eye-opening book reveals how little we've understood about the ongoing pitched battles between the sciences and the humanities--and how much may be at stake. James Brown's starting point is C. P. Snow's famous book, Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution, which set the terms for the current debates. But that little book did much more than identify two new, opposing cultures, Brown contends: It also claimed that scientists are better qualified than nonscientists to solve political and social problems. In short, the true significance of Snow's treatise was its focus on the question of who should rule--a question that remains vexing, pressing, and politically explosive today. In Who Rules in Science? Brown takes us through the various engagements in the science wars--from the infamous "Sokal affair" to angry confrontations over the nature of evidence, the possibility of objectivity, and the methods of science--to show how the contested terrain may be science, but the prize is political: Whoever wins the science wars will have an unprecedented influence on how we are governed. Brown provides the most comprehensive and balanced assessment yet of the science wars. He separates the good arguments from the bad, and exposes the underlying message: Science and social justice are inextricably linked. His book is essential reading if we are to understand the forces making and remaking our world.
