The World We Wish to See by Samir Amin Pdf

"The World We Wish to See presents a sweeping view of twentieth-century political history and a stirring appeal to take political organization seriously. Amin offers provocative analysis of contemporary resistance to neoliberalism, while boldly calling for a new global movement, 'an internationalism of peoples, ' to challenge the current order and fashion a better world. Throughout the last century, great revolutions, the socialist and communist internationals, and national liberation movements presented a serious challenge to global capital. Neoliberalism and the U.S. drive for military hegemony have given birth to new political and social movements and new attempts at international organization, such as the World Social Forum. Amin maps these oppositional formations, new and old, critically assessing their potential and limitations for the revolutionary project today. The World We Wish to See draws a distinction between 'political cultures of conflict' and 'political cultures of consensus.' Amin explains that effective opposition must be based in a 'convergence in diversity' of the world's oppressed and exploited -- workers, students, peasants and other opponents of the neoliberal order. What is required today is a new 'international' with an open and flexible organizational structure to coordinate the work of oppositional movements around the globe. Included in this volume is the full text of the Bamako Appeal, described as a Communist Manifesto for our age, and Amin's provocative new essay 'Political Islam in the Service of Imperialism.' Amin's masterful analysis offers new ground for realizing the world we wish to see."--Http://www.monthlyreview.org (April 19, 2011).

THW WORLD WE WISH — A Novel by John Moody Pdf

“The stakes were enormous. Hui was planning a wide-reaching offensive that would eliminate any challenges to his position as architect of the digital universe. Not just in China, but the world. If it worked, even Xi Jinping would think twice about doing anything to displease him... “This was Chinese ingenuity at its best, Hui thought....” The World We Wish continues the love-hate dichotomy among Hui Jen-Sho, China’s architect of Artificial Intelligence, who sees the metaverse as a new world to conquer; Henry, the American wunderkind who betrayed his birthland; and the woman they both covet, the ravishing Ma-lin Cho. Just as in today’s China, where the only truth comes from the Communist Party—Socialism with Chinese characteristics—in the metaverse, nothing is what it seems. “The World We Wish takes the reader inside the stark realities of the Chinese communist system. A fascinating and intriguing story that seems too real to be fiction.” —Bill Gertz, journalist and author of Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China’s Drive for Global Supremacy. “Drenched in black humor, The World We Wish offers insight into a nation that echoes history’s most notorious regimes... Its greatest strength may be its knack for revealing what’s kept at arm’s length from us via the media and academia.” —Christian Toto, author, editor of HollywoodinToto.com

Critical Education in International Perspective by Peter Mayo,Paolo Vittoria Pdf

Critical Education in International Perspective presents new perspectives on critical education from Latin America, Southern Europe and Africa. While recognising the valuable work in critical education emerging from North America and the Northern hemisphere, testimony to Paulo Freire's influence there, this book sheds light on parts of the world that are not given prominence. The book highlights the complementary work of Lorenzo Milani, Amilcar Cabral, exponents of Italian feminism, Ada Gobetti, the Landless Workers Movement (MST) in Brazil, Antonio Gramsci, Gabriela Mistral and Julius Nyerere. It also focuses on a range of struggles such as education in the context of landlessness, independence, renewal and cognitive justice, social creation and against neoliberalism and decolonization.

Reclaiming the Life We Lost Along the Way by John Paterson Pdf

We've been sold a bill of goods. Not out of malice but out of a fundamental misunderstanding of how to effectively approach our lives-and the world-in order to secure the genuine happiness and authentic loving relationships we desire. In Reclaiming the Life We Lost Along the Way, we discover that at the heart of every decision we make is the intention to reduce our suffering and satisfy our unmet yearnings. Authentic love, safety, acceptance, connection, belonging, meaning, purpose, value, appreciation. These are the shared desires of every human being. To meet these desires, we have invested tremendous effort, yet the quality of life we have sought continues to elude us. The reason is shockingly simple: We have attempted to resolve an internal problem with external solutions. The outside world can never satisfy our deepest longings until our inner world makes a critical shift in perception and orientation. When this internal shift occurs, our experience of everything outside of us begins to change as well. This is the key to realizing and experiencing the quality of life we have been seeking for so long. Discover who you really are, recover your true self, bring your unique gifts to life, then share them with the world. This book shows you how to reclaim the life you were born to live by recovering the authentic love and deep fulfillment you came out of the Universe to encounter and extend in your own life and the lives of everyone you touch....

The Mindful Classroom by Tru Leverette Pdf

The Mindful Classroom: Constructive Conversations on Race, Identity, and Justice helps teachers and discussion facilitators practice and teach mindfulness and movement techniques that can deeply enhance conversations about race, identity, and social justice, furthering social justice efforts at their most basic stage—person to person—from the face-to-face or online classroom to the community at large. Mindfulness and movement practices can help us prepare for and engage in difficult conversations, and the more conscious we become of our emotional, mental, and physical landscape, the more we are able to engage proactively rather than reactively, consciously rather than automatically. We become able to act (or not act), rather than react in situations with others. The topics of race and social justice are timely, and they are triggers. Productive engagement with these topics demands we remain mindful of how we may be triggered and how we may be triggering others; it demands we pay attention to ourselves at a fundamental level, and it demands that we grant such attention to others.

Spiritual Gardening by Caroline A. Baez Pdf

What do we all seek? We seek happiness. Many believe that happiness eludes them, and this is the cause of much suffering. What if you were to discover that the key to happiness resides within you, where it has always been? What if youve been seeking in the opposite direction for a key that has always been in your possession, a key that will release you from a prison of shadows and suffering, allowing you to finally bask in the light of inner wisdom and freedom? The solution lies in returning to the root of oneself by rediscovering the inner wisdom that abides in each of us. Our society, our culture, and the frenzied world in which we live confront us with daily stimuli and external signals of who we are or should be, of what we should prioritize or value, and of what our aspirations and successes should model or resemble. Hypnotized by a world of illusions, we live a reality of half-truthan ephemeral world of impermanent pleasures that disintegrate like the ethereal beauty of delicate snowflakes cascading onto the sea. Guiding our focus inwardly to our silent inner space, we reconnect with the inner master residing in the blooming garden of our True Self. Embarking on this intimate journey and cultivating this inner path daily, we find refuge in our expansive inner space where we discover the gateway to freedom from suffering and the light of true happiness. The intention of this work is to guide readers to their own inner journey, to intimate reflection, and to daily cultivation of all that they desire will blossom in their own lives, thereby denominating this book and this practice, Spiritual Gardening.
