Moving from Manhattan to Montana, from Ellis Island to the post-truth political landscape, the collection examines democracy, civic exhaustion, regional fracture, and the fragile possibility of common ground. Formally inventive and politically awake, **Crossing State Lines** asks what remains of American hope when the country can no longer agree on what is real. less

These politics emerge from white settlers feeling both dispossessed and entitled to access to the highest powers to redress the dispossession—they’re a mode of “Can I speak to your manager?” politics. Through a close reading of three Supreme Court cases dealing with Federal Indian Law, Minno demonstrates how white settler's felt senses of innocence and victimization vis a vis Native people and Native sovereignty get encoded into law. Building off of Tuck and Yang’s (2012) trenchant analysis of “settler moves to innocence,” the book takes white settler feelings seriously as technologies of the settler state to legitimate its fundamentally contested sovereignty and to delimit the horizon of decolonial possibility. Through historical context and analysis of the three cases—Oliphant v. Suquamish (1978), Brackeen v. Haaland (2023) and Arizona v. Navajo Nation (2023)—the book explores what makes the Supreme Court a unique vehicle to activate new realms of settler sovereignty and a unique repository for white settler grievance. Interrogating the nuances and adaptations of settler colonial power is urgent: the most hallowed institutions in the United States, including the Supreme Court, face unprecedented crises of legitimacy while, simultaneously, settler colonialism rabidly recruits apologists to its economy of violence across the globe. This book contributes to that interrogation and to ongoing conversations on affect in settler colonial studies, critical whiteness studies, performance studies, legal studies, and in social movements. Finally, it maps routes toward reducing white settler harm in the U.S. Liza Minno is an organizer, educator, and nonfiction writer. She is a doctoral student in New York University’s American Studies program. She is based in Brooklyn and New Jersey. This is her first book. less

Untethered from “mere Natural Law”—the moral principles knowable by all—our legal and constitutional system is doomed to incoherence. The framers of the Constitution regarded the “self-evident” truths of the Natural Law as foundational. And yet in our own time, both liberals and conservatives insist that we must interpret the Constitution while ignoring its foundation. Making the case anew for Natural Law, Arkes finds it not in theories hovering in the clouds or in benign platitudes (“be generous,” “be selfless”). He draws us back, rather, to the ground of Natural Law as the American Founders understood it, the anchoring truths of common sense—truths grasped at once by the ordinary man, unburdened by theories imbibed in college and law school. When liberals discovered hitherto unknown rights in the “emanations” and “penumbras” of a “living constitution,” conservatives responded with an “originalism” that refuses to venture beyond the bare text. But in framing that text, the Founders appealed to moral principles that were there before the Constitution and would be there even if there were no Constitution. An originalism that is detached from those anchor - ing principles has strayed far from the original meaning of the Constitution. It is powerless, moreover, to resist the imposition of a perverse moral vision on our institutions and our lives. Brilliant in its analysis, essential in its argument, Mere Natural Law is a must-read for everyone who cares about the Constitution, morality, and the rule of law. less

How can social media, technology, politics, and free speech coexist in a functioning democracy? It's a question that has been brought before the Supreme Court, and an issue that will certainly play a factor in our presidential election and every election thereafter. The First Amendment also has relevance to our criminal justice system, our college campus culture, even our zoning laws. It has implications for everything from how legal disputes are resolved to why certain blocks have tons of porn shops. And at the center of this most defining issue of our time is lawyer Alex Spiro. While Republicans think he's a Democrat and Democrats think he's a Republican, Spiro is, at his core, an unwavering believer in free speech. In this book, he takes readers through some of the most defining free speech cases of his career--from an NBA star's clash with police, to the infamous "pedo guy" tweet Elon sent about a British caver, to mediating between financier Bill Ackerman and Harvard in the anti-Semitism uproar that followed the events of October 7, 2023 in Israel. Spiro also examines free speech in relation to other consequential events, such as the January 6, 2021, storming of the US Capitol. And he looks back at the history of the First Amendment, analyzing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which was invoked by President Donald Trump in 2025. He mixes engaging storytelling with constitutional law and history, urging readers to prod their own double-standards on the subject. less

Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine
Ugly Duckling Presse

From the dream-like vignettes of *Negative Body* to the vertiginous blend of theater, poetry, and fiction that make up *History of a Good Lord*, the work stands as a testament to his bold credo that “there are no poems or novels anymore—there is writing.” Together, they form a single narrative tour de force, continuing Khaïr-Eddine’s trademark onslaught against the intertwined authoritarian forces of God, the king, and the father. **Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine** (1941 - 1995) was a Moroccan Amazigh writer and poet. His first book, *Agadir* was awarded the Jean Cocteau Enfants Terribles prize. One of the major Francophone avant-garde poets of his generation, Khaïr-Eddine was hailed as the “Rimbaud of the Maghreb” and won renown for his Surrealist-inspired “linguistic guerrilla warfare,” which he developed in works such as *Corps négatif, Soleil arachnide, Moi l’aigre,* and *Le Déterreur.* With Abdellatif Laâbi and Mostafa Nissabouri, he helped found the avant-garde Moroccan journal, *Souffles-Anfas,* before he was compelled to self-exile in 1965. Khaïr-Eddine lived in France until returning to Morocco in 1979. He died in 1995 in Rabat. **Jake Syersak** is the author of the poetry books *Mantic Compost* and *Yield Architecture.* He is also the translator of several books by Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine and Tahar Ben Jelloun. His work has received grants from The PEN/Heim Foundation and the National Endowment of the Arts. He currently lives in Olympia, WA. **Zachary Anderson** holds an MFA from the University of Notre Dame and a PhD from the University of Georgia. His book reviews and critical writings can be found in *Harvard Review, Kenyon Review,* and the *Action Books* blog, and his poems have most recently appeared in *Annulet, New Delta Review,* and *Denver Quarterly.* **Khalid Lyamlahy** is Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies at the University of Chicago where he teaches North African literature. He is the author of *Nostalgic Rebels: Politics, Aesthetics, and Selfhood in Postcolonial Morocco* (Liverpool University Press, 2025) and the coeditor of *Abdelkébir Khatibi: Postcolonialism, Transnationalism, and Culture in the Maghreb and Beyond* (Liverpool University Press, 2020). Besides his academic work, he has published two novels: *Un roman étranger* (Présence Africaine, 2017) and *Évocation d'un mémorial à Venise* (Présence Africaine, 2023). His second novel, translated as *Venice Requiem* (HopeRoad, 2026), was awarded the Prix Éthiophile and received a special mention from the Prix des Cinq Continents de la Francophonie. <br> **PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS WORK** “Jake Syersak brings his translator’s bravura to bear on Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine’s guerrilla warfare with and against the French language. In a feat of lexical precision and alliterative cadences, a voice ‘composed in the likeness of thunder’ strives to ‘unlearn the viaticums of violence’. In rebellious screams and hallucinatory dreams, it conjures the landscapes of an Amazigh childhood to exorcise history’s assaults – colonial trauma, the tyranny of the state, the pangs of exile –, for ‘only the earth / remembers / and howls / what terror is brooding / beneath’ and ‘never once / did our ancestors offer asylum to kings.’” —**Omar Berrada** "Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine is a poetic force, and Jake Syersak's unrelenting, uncompromising translation brings one of his most alive books crashing into English ‘in the likeness of thunder.’ Khaïr-Eddine's work offers not only a new perspective on Morocco, but also on how language can be used in the name of land and longing." —**Emma Ramadan** "Who was Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine? A poet, a Berber, a technician of 'guerilla linguistics.' An intercessor to the gods of revolution, Khaïr-Eddine sang the psychoses of his country in its post-colonial and autocratic crises. I know this because of Jake Syersak, who here translates some early and vicious poems from this giant of Moroccan literature." —**Aditi Machado, author of *Some Beheadings and Prosopopoeia*** "Khaïr-Eddine’s excoriating satire of independent Morocco, written in the first decade of Hassan II’s rule, from the remove of voluntary exile in France, performs a devastating critique of the violence of the ruling class, the incompetence of government, the hypocrisy of organized religion, and the stubborn presence of police brutality, even as it fashions radically new modes of literary and poetic expression. Sometimes crude, even grotesque, often brilliantly seductive, irreligious, and funny, Jake Syersak’s bold translation into English breathes new life into this important and too-long neglected work of modern Moroccan literature." —**Thomas C. Connolly, Department of French, Yale University** less

This bilingual volume traces Stus’s trajectory from early experimental poems to profound meditations written during his Soviet incarceration. It reveals Stus as a poet of psychological intensity and philosophical depth, moving between historical extremity and the human condition with singular ethical force. Vasyl Stus (1938–1985) was a Ukrainian poet, critic, translator, and dissident. Raised in Donetsk, he emerged as a moral voice of his generation. After publicly protesting the arrests of Ukrainian intellectuals in 1965, he was banned from publishing in Soviet Ukraine. For his writing and dissident activity, he spent more than a decade in Soviet prisons, labor camps, and exile, before dying in 1985 in the Perm-36 labor camp. Stus’s poetry remains a touchstone of Ukrainian literature and cultural memory. less

Far less attention, however, has been paid to its role as a regionalizing actor―projecting its regional logic outward and making regionalization a pillar of foreign policy. In this capacity, the EU pursues a twofold approach: clustering states into shared policy frameworks for efficiency, while also promoting cooperation inspired by its own integration experience. This book examines how these dynamics unfold in the post-Soviet South Caucasus―Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Here, “region” is less an organic reality than a political construction: Regional identity is contested, historical disputes continue to shape inter-state relations, foreign policy trajectories diverge, and the area is subject to competing external influences. By analyzing how regionalization is embedded in the EU’s foreign policy instruments, and tracing its evolution over time, the study identifies recurring patterns and develops a conceptual framework for understanding the EU’s regionalization practices, with insights from the South Caucasus potentially extending to other contested regions. less

In recounting the mechanics of this counter-revolutionary legal framework across multiple geographies--extending and fortifying key anti-colonial solidarities past, present, and future--this book reads the state of emergency not as an exception but as a heightened form of every-day colonial state violence. Contrasting the architecture of sites like "regroupement' camps in Algeria, the white settler city of Nouméa, and the police stations of Paris's suburbs with that of Algiers's Casbah, Kanaky's tribes, and Paris's banlieues neighborhoods, States of Emergency narrates the bureaucracies and protocols that continue to enable and underwrite the far reaching violence of this legal measure, as well as the anticolonial and antiracist resistance brought against it. The book thus offers a guide and a method for making the colonial continuum legible across contexts and for spatializing the many actors, agents, immigrants, and revolutionaries working both for and against the shared project of liberation. Translated from French by Lara Vergnaud, with a preface by Zoé Samudzi. less

The Latin American political landscape has been home to populism, revolutions, dictatorships, democracies, presidentialism, the left, and the right.

The book offers broader lessons about the fragility of democracy and the danger posed by elected strongmen claiming to be champions of "the people" in their struggle against "the elites." less

Chronicling a six-year journey through the parties, demonstrations, social media, and minds within Steve Bannon's media milieu, Danielle Lee Tomson reveals the tactics used to craft and elevate an alternative vision of America into being. Yet the book is not just a reflection on the Right. It is a mirror for a political culture of distrust, where the distinctions between performance and sincerity, truth and myth, have collapsed, charging us all to create a new political paradigm for the twenty-first century. less
