      Searching for community

      ways of critical thinking in global south

      by Fabricio Pereira da Silva

      As a response to the widespread social, economic and ecological malaise that is a consequence of the expansion of modernity, Fabricio Pereira da Silva gives voice to a quest that has long been a banner of the left: the yearning for a fairer, more equitable way of life, free from the modern values of individualism, exploitation and inconsequential and disproportionate economic growth, based on the recovery and re-reading of pre-capitalist ways of life. This book is driven by the urgency of a utopia that recovers the ideas of communality gestated in the global periphery to inspire another kind of future. In Search of Community presents a list of theoretical perspectives created in the so-called Global South, with the aim of overcoming a “monoculture of knowledge”. Fabricio Pereira da Silva analyzes Mariátegui's Indo-American socialism, the concepts of negritude and ubuntu, 20th century African socialisms, the idea of Good Living (sumak kawsay/suma qamaña) and Bhutan's gross internal happiness. By “illustrating the richness of proposals from the periphery”, the author offers us other theoretical resources, capable of dealing with the “crisis of modernity, the crisis of Western Marxism and socialist projects in a modernist key”.

      Over the Hill Together

      by Da Chuzhe

      From the fifth year of their marriage, Sumiko had to receive treatment in hospital for the acute pain caused by multiple rheumatoid arthritis. From that time on the disease had seized her. From 1982, Sumiko had to lie in the bed or rely on a wheelchair for the significant dysfunction of the upper limbs and the paralysis of the lower limbs, so she had to let her husband see to her daily life. And Oochuje took care of her basically all by himself unless he had a business trip and he would hire a care worker. This illustrated book elaborately depicts the story between them, including how they met and fell in love with each other during childhood, their daily conversations, their poems as well as their relentless fighting against disease. At the final part of the book, it mainly records the last thirty-three days from December 1997 to January 1998 during which the couple spent together until Sumiko had passed away. The words of the book is selected and the drawings simple yet profound through which one will be deeply touched for the deep and unchangeable love. “Over the hill” in common sense is an expression for death, but it means a whole new world for Oochuje and Sumiko where they would also walk side by side. Their love and cherish for each other was well beyond life and death for they never ceased to bring happiness for each other. And their love story has also enriched the world with pure beauty and wonder of love.

      This is a novel about Liu Shaoqi in the form of historical biography, which narrates the fighting experience of Liu Shaoqi from the end of 1939 to the beginning of 1942, thereby vividly demonstrating his unswerving political caliber and superior military capability. The novel describes his life in a chronological order: after being entrusted with the mission of organizing the central plains bureau of the C.P.C., Liu Shaoqi got rid of the disturbing thought of “everything should be subject to the united front”of Xiang Ying, member of the Political Bureau and the commander of the New Fourth Army, and gave full play to initiative in the battles including the Bantaji Battle, two operations against the enemy's “mopping-up” campaign, the Guocun Village Battle, the Huangqiao Battle, making great contributions to tipping the balance after the Southern Anhui Incident, building the Anti-Japanese base area of central China and persisting in the War of Resistance Against Japan in enemy-occupied areas.
