Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming
by Andreas Malm
496 pages, 2016 by Verso
The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels we burn. How did we end up in this mess? In this masterful new history, Andreas Malm claims it all began in Britain with the rise of steam power. But why did manufacturers turn from traditional sources of power, notably water mills, to an engine fired by coal? Contrary to established views, steam offered neither cheaper nor more abundant energy—but rather superior control of subordinate labour. Animated by fossil fuels, capital could concentrate production at the most profitable sites and during the most convenient hours, as it continues to do today. Sweeping from nineteenth-century Manchester to the emissions explosion in China, from the original triumph of coal to the stalled shift to renewables, this study hones in on the burning heart of capital and demonstrates, in unprecedented depth, that turning down the heat will mean a radical overthrow of the current economic order.

A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things: A Guide to Capitalism, Nature, and the Future of the Planet
by Raj Patel & Jason W. Moore
328 pages, 2017 by University of California Press
Nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives: these are the seven things that have made our world and will shape its future. In making these things cheap, modern commerce has transformed, governed, and devastated Earth. In A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things, Raj Patel and Jason W. Moore present a new approach to analyzing today’s planetary emergencies. Bringing the latest ecological research together with histories of colonialism, indigenous struggles, slave revolts, and other rebellions and uprisings, Patel and Moore demonstrate that throughout history, crises have always prompted fresh strategies to make the world cheap and safe for capitalism. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap things, innovative and systemic thinking is urgently required. This book proposes a radical new way of understanding—and reclaiming—the planet in the turbulent twenty-first century.

The Community Resilience Reader: Essential Resources for an Era of Upheaval
by Daniel Lerch *
336 pages, 2017 by Island Press
*The sustainability challenges of yesterday have become today’s resilience crises. National and global efforts have failed to stop climate change, transition from fossil fuels, and reduce inequality. We must now confront these and other increasingly complex problems by building resilience at the community level. But what does that mean in practice, and how can it be done in a way that’s effective and equitable?

Joyful Militancy
by carla bergman and Nick Montgomery
192 pages, 1968 by AK Press
First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. The methodology of the late Paulo Freire has helped to empower countless impoverished and illiterate people throughout the world. Freire's work has taken on especial urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is increasingly accepted as the norm. With a substantive new introduction on Freire's life and the remarkable impact of this book by writer and Freire confidant and authority Donaldo Macedo, this anniversary edition of Pedagogy of the Oppressed will inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general readers for years to come.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed
by Paulo Freire
192 pages, 2017 by Bloomsbury Academic
Why do radical movements and spaces sometimes feel laden with fear, anxiety, suspicion, self-righteousness and competition? The authors call this phenomenon rigid radicalism: congealed and toxic ways of relating that have seeped into radical movements, posing as the ‘correct’ way of being radical. In conversation with organizers and intellectuals from a wide variety of currents, the authors explore how rigid radicalism smuggles itself into radical spaces, and how it is being undone.

11 THESES - about organizing and revolutionary practice for a fundamental reorientation of radical left-wing politics – critique and perspectives
by kollektiv, Bremen
56 pages, 2016 by Self-published
While there is a silent helplessness that currently affects many of us, caused by rapidly aggravated assaults of the capitalist system and the lacking strength of leftist movements, we have also noticed a hopeful search for new beginnings among leftists and radical leftists during the last few years. We have tried to express in them our critique towards our own past politics and respectively the politics of large parts of the left-wing radicals living in the FRG. They also contain our thoughts on what we think the necessary changes in our practice need to be. While the analysis of current social developments constituted an important foundation for our discussions and results, in the theses we have, however, focused more intensely on the conclusions we drew from these for a specific change in practice.

Emergent Strategy
by Adrienne Maree Brown
274 pages, 2017 by AK Press
'Emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relative simple interactions...The health of the cell is the health of the species and the planet.' In this framing, one is freed from raging about the big picture and instead focus on things one can control / influence. The book discusses ways to do activism work that is not only meaningful but feels joyful. Why building critical connections is more important than building critical mass. All seem quite relevant for personal and community resilience.
