#DSPBposts 💙📚 #BookSky #booktok #bookstagram
Book covers for 1. Aether and Ego by Joanne Merriam, Inanna Publications: Elizabeth Bennet is a part of the second generation embarking on a centuries-long flight to Alpha Centauri, working in the signal room and studying engineering aboard a massive centrifugal ship. When she is thrown into the orbit of the conventional Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth finds him haughty and intolerable. But then her younger sister elopes. For all of their progress in the new society of the ship, a woman can still be ruined by an imprudent attachment. Can Elizabeth and Darcy save Lydia’s reputation, learn to like each other, and avoid being convicted of murder? Out 15 September – pre-order now: https://inanna.ca/product/aether-and-ego/ or in the US, https://bookshop.org/a/96356/9781834210261 and 2. @btlbooks.com Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women by Silvia Federici, Between the Lines: We are witnessing a new surge of interpersonal and institutional violence against women, including new witch hunts, which have occurred alongside an expansion of capitalist social relations. No less than the witch hunts in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Europe and the “New World,” this new war on women is a structural element of the new forms of capitalist accumulation founded on the destruction of people’s most basic means of reproduction. https://btlbooks.com/book/witches-witch-hunting-and-women‪

Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books: @btlbooks.com’s For the Long Haul: How to Stay in the Fight for a Better World by Chris Dixon @withmovements.bsky.social & Invested in Crisis: Public Sector Pensions Against the Future by Tom Fraser. See alt-text.

#DSPBposts 💙📚 #BookSky #booktok #bookstagram
Book covers for Between the Lines’s For the Long Haul: How to Stay in the Fight for a Better World by Chris Dixon: Written in a compact and accessible manner, For the Long Haul takes up the question of activist longevity through five chapter-length propositions. Each chapter names a key obstacle to movement durability and then elaborates practical tools for contending with the obstacle and nourishing long-haul organizing. Focusing on the US and Canada, the book is based on interviews with and writings by seasoned organizers, experiences of past and present-day political organizations, and a broad range of movement histories. Forthcoming 22 September 2026. https://btlbooks.com/book/for-the-long-haul and Invested in Crisis: Public Sector Pensions Against the Future by Tom Fraser: Tom Fraser traces the rise of the province’s mega-pension-funds by melding history, geography, and political economy to situate this growth in the context of Ontario’s deindustrialization, the rise of finance, and the global politics of the built environment. Fraser delves deep into the sordid stories of the public sector pension fund investment world: the massive real estate projects, the infrastructure privatization debacles, how unions fight back, and what needs to be done so we can all save for a better future. https://btlbooks.com/book/invested-in-crisis
