Get Fresh Books Publishing
Get Fresh Books Publishing is a non-profit, cooperative press devoted to amplifying diverse voices in poetry and making the publication process accessible to marginalized communities. Our primary objective is to provide opportunities for underrepresented voices by eliminating economic and societal barriers, such as submission fees and contests, which may inhibit marginalized voices from contributing to the literary conversation. As a cooperative press, we encourage manuscript submissions from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and people living with mental illnesses. By doing so, we explicitly reject any “ism” or phobia which seeks to suppress the voices of those who receive insufficient or inadequate representation in literature. In the four short years of our founding, we have been able to preserve our commitment to diversity and inclusivity by publishing the work of 12 talented and distinct poets, whose poetry cover a wide range of topics from ethnicity, sexuality and religion to immigration, suicide and discrimination. Our press’s cooperative process of integrating the ideas and skills of our poets, editors and publisher have given us the ability to bring fresh and diverse voices into the literary world. With the help of donations, grants and private investments, we have been able to publish each literary work without charging a single submission fee to ensure that poets and writers of all ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, and economic statuses would have their voices heard.

March 2008Freiheit und Pflicht
Thomas Hobbes' politische Theorie. Frankfurter Adorno-Vorlesungen 2005.
by Quentin Skinner, Karin Wördemann
Quentin Skinner ist einer der weltweit bedeutendsten Historiker der politischen Theorie und Ideengeschichte, der es wie kaum ein anderer versteht, systematische Einsicht mit historischer Genauigkeit zu verbinden. Davon zeugen auch seine Frankfurter Adorno-Vorlesungen aus dem Jahr 2005, die nun als Buch vorliegen. Gedanklich geschlossen und rhetorisch brillant, erläutert Skinner darin Hobbes`Lehre von der Freiheit nicht nur als Angelpunkt einer philosophischen Theorie von klassischem Rang, sondern auch und vor allem als polemische Intervention in die politischen Debatten seiner Zeit. Mit leichter Hand zeichnet er die Entwicklungen und Brüche dieser Lehre nach, korrigiert einige etablierte Überzeugungen der Hobbes-Forschung und läßt die politischen Motive hinter den philosophischen Argumenten hervortreten. Hobbes` Lehre erscheint so als kraftvoller Beitrag zu den politischen Auseinandersetzungen des siebzehnten Jahrhunderts und zu den aktuellen Debatten um Staat, Politik und Freiheit.

July 2009Visionen des Politischen
by Quentin Skinner, Marion Heinz, Martin Rühl, Robin Celikates, Eva Engels
Quentin Skinner ist einer der profiliertesten Historiker der Gegenwart und führender Kopf der »Cambridge School of Intellectual History«. Seine Neubegründung der Ideengeschichte auf der Grundlage der Sprachphilosophie Wittgensteins und der Sprechakttheorie Austins sowie seine daran geschulte Auseinandersetzung mit Klassikern des politischen Denkens sind international breit rezipiert worden und bilden eine höchst originelle Alternative zu der hierzulande vorherrschenden theorie- und begriffsgeschichtlich ausgerichteten Historiographie und politischen Philosophie. Der Band macht repräsentative Beiträge Skinners aus dessen dreibändiger Sammlung Visions of Politics, die das ganze Spektrum seines Forschungsansatzes abdecken, erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung zugänglich. Ein Nachwort der Herausgeber führt in das Denken Quentin Skinners ein.

EconomicsNovember 2002Persistence and Change in Rural Communities
A Fifty Year Follow-up to Six Classic Studies
by Edited by Albert E Luloff, Richard S Krannich
In the 1930s and 1940s the US Department of Agriculture undertook detailed studies of six US rural communities representing various patterns of social and economic change that were affecting rural America. These studies became classics in the literature on rural communities, and for the past half-century have helped to develop major theoretical perspectives in community sociology.Fifty years later the same study areas were revisited by a team of rural sociologists, with the goal of assessing what changes have occurred and what community characteristics have persisted. This book assesses these changes in rural life."This volume is an important addition to the sociological literature on rural communities."Willis Goudy, The Agricultural History Review, 2003

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2018Syria and the chemical weapons taboo
Exploiting the forbidden
by Michelle Bentley
This book analyses the Syria crisis and the role of chemical weapons in relation to US foreign policy. The Syrian government's use of such weapons and their subsequent elimination has dominated the US response to the conflict, where these are viewed as particularly horrific arms - a repulsion known as the chemical taboo. On the surface, this would seem to be an appropriate reaction: these are nasty weapons and eradicating them would ostensibly comprise a 'good' move. But this book reveals two new aspects of the taboo that challenge this prevailing view. First, actors use the taboo strategically to advance their own self-interested policy objectives. Second, that applying the taboo to Syria has actually exacerbated the crisis. As such, this book not only provides a timely analysis of Syria, but also a major and original rethink of the chemical taboo, as well as international norms more widely.
