 “An absolutely fascinating book” - Lundimatin<br><br> “A reminder of the discipline’s historical links with the struggle for emancipation and against social inequalities” - France Culture<br><br> It has been decades since Freud fell out of favor, not only in mainstream psychiatry but also in radical thought, where both he and Lacan were accused of sexist and class biases. A People’s History of Psychoanalysis refuses to accept this growing depoliticization of a formerly revolutionary field.<br><br> Florent Gabarron-Garcia shatters the comfortable narrative of psychoanalysts as armchair theorists placidly interpreting family complexes sheltered in their consulting rooms. Recalling Freud’s radical moments (such as his promotion of free clinics in Weimar Germany) and lesser-known figures including the Marxist Feminist psychoanalyst Marie Langer, his new history delves into how revolutionary ferment has cross-fertilized the exploration of the unconscious.<br><br> A People’s History of Psychoanalysis is for those who wish to resist the conformist, therapist-centered, and repressive management of madness under contemporary capitalism.<br><br> Florent Gabarron-Garcia is a psychoanalyst, psychologist and doctor in psychopathology. He lectures at University Paris 8. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal Chimères, founded by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. He currently lives in France.

People'S History Of Soccer

 <p><b>‘Correia takes us around the world to examine how soccer has produced the kind of political energy that can change minds and even topple governments’ </b>Dave Zirin, Sports Editor, <i>The Nation</i></p><p><b>‘A fascinating journey through the game’s history [as] a vehicle of change’</b> Shaka Hislop, former player, anti-racist educator and broadcaster</p><p><b>‘An essential read for soccer fans everywhere’</b> Juliet Jacques, writer, filmmaker and journalist</p><p>Soccer is so much more than the billionaire owners and eye-watering signing fees that dominate the headlines. Look beyond the Premier League and the World Cup, the sublime brilliance of Messi and Mbappé, and you’ll find a story unparalleled in the world of sport.</p><p>From England, France and Germany to Palestine, South Africa and Brazil, <i>A People’s History of Soccer </i>reveals how the ‘beautiful game’ has been a powerful instrument of emancipation for workers, feminists, anti-colonialist activists, young people and protesters around the world.</p><p>Countering the clichés about soccer fans, Mickaël Correia dives into soccer countercultures born after the Second World War, from English hooligans to the ultras who played a central role in the ‘Arab Spring.’ And with chapters on anti-fascism, the women’s game, and the rise in community-owned clubs, Correia reminds us that soccer can be a powerful social and political force—as generous as it is subversive.</p><p><b>Mickaël Correia</b> is a journalist at Mediapart. He is the author of several books. He has written for <i>Le Monde Diplomatique</i>, <i>Le Canard Enchaîné</i> and <i>La Revue du Crieur</i>.

People'S History Of Modern Europe

by William A. Pelz

3,96€ + 10% CARD

 From the monarchical terror of the Middle Ages to the mangled Europe of the twenty-first century, A People''s History of Modern Europe tells the history of the continent through the deeds of those whom mainstream history tries to forget. <br /><br />Europe provided the perfect conditions for a great number of political revolutions from below. The German peasant wars of Thomas Müntzer, the bourgeois revolutions of the eighteenth century, the rise of the industrial worker in England, the turbulent journey of the Russian Soviets, the role of the European working class throughout the Cold War, student protests in 1968 and through to the present day, when we continue to fight to forge an alternative to the barbaric economic system. <br /><br />By focusing on the role of women, trade unions and students, this history sweeps away the tired platitudes of the privileged upon which our current understanding is based, providing an opportunity to see our history differently.<br />

Presidential Races, 2nd Edition - Campaigning For The White House

by Arlene Morris-Lipsman

67,11€ + 10% CARD

 American presidents have come from all walks of life. Some have had a lot of experience campaigning for office, while others have had almost none. In fact, the nation's first president-George Washington-didn't even run for office. He was chosen by a group of electors in 1789. More than 200 years later, campaigning for the United States' highest office takes years to plan, years to carry out, and a lot of money. Candidates must be prepared to rally supporters at live events across the nation, give hundreds of interviews and speeches, and create sophisticated communication strategies. No longer can candidates simply let their records speak for themselves. They must engage their competition-and the American voter-in vigorous debate 24/7, using robust advertising, strategic appearances, and social media messaging. Follow the changes in presidential campaign strategies from the nation's early leaders to twenty-first century contenders. Meet the personalities that have defined the office, from George Washington to Barack Obama, the nation's first African American president. Learn how strategies to pick candidates, raise money, run campaigns, sway voters, and elect leaders have evolved. And see if you can predict what lies ahead for Americans in upcoming presidential elections.

From Jazz Babies To Generation Next - The History Of The American Teenager

by Laura B. Edge

67,11€ + 10% CARD

 Can you imagine a world without teenagers?Before the early 1900s, the word teenager was not even part of the American vocabulary. The concept of adolescence—those transitional years between childhood and adulthood—simply did not exist. Instead, families needed young people to contribute to the family’s earnings as soon as possible. "Everybody worked; it was a part of life, for there was no life without it," wrote Edna Matthews Clifton of her teen years in Texas in the late 1800s. Many young people worked longs days and full weeks on farms or in factories. Such a schedule left little time for school or for fun.Throughout the 1900s, the idea of the teenager gradually began to take shape. A series of reforms put restrictions on child labor. Young people spent less time working and more time in school. They also began spending money on entertainment. Movie theaters and dance halls provided places for them to gather. Thirteen- to nineteen-year-olds established a unique culture that would continue to develop in the coming decades.In the twenty-first century, teens represent vital threads in the American fabric. Their spending choices affect both the economy and the way advertisers market products. Their taste in music, movies, and TV drives pop culture. And teens—for whom technology is a way of life—are the ones who will continue to push the boundaries of our technological future.From the flappers and jazz babies of the 1920s to the digital-savvy teens of the twenty-first century, you’re about to follow the fascinating evolution of the American teenager.
