From a brilliant Brookings Institution expert, an "important" (The
Wall Street Journal) and "penetrating historical and political
study" (Nature) of the critical role that oceans play in the daily
struggle for global power, in the bestselling tradition of Robert
Kaplan's The Revenge of Geography. For centuries, oceans were the
chessboard on which empires battled for supremacy. But in the
nuclear age, air power and missile systems dominated our worries
about security, and for the United States, the economy was largely
driven by domestic production, with trucking and railways that
crisscrossed the continent serving as the primary modes of
commercial transit. All that has changed, as nine-tenths of global
commerce and the bulk of energy trade is today linked to sea-based
flows. A brightly painted forty-foot steel shipping container
loaded in Asia with twenty tons of goods may arrive literally
anywhere else in the world; how that really happens and who
actually profits from it show that the struggle for power on the
seas is a critical issue today. Now, in vivid, closely observed
prose, Bruce Jones conducts us on a fascinating voyage through the
great modern ports and naval bases-from the vast container ports of
Hong Kong and Shanghai to the vital naval base of the American
Seventh Fleet in Hawaii to the sophisticated security arrangements
in the Port of New York. Along the way, the book illustrates how
global commerce works, that we are amidst a global naval arms race,
and why the oceans are so crucial to America's standing going
forward. As Jones reveals, the three great geopolitical struggles
of our time-for military power, for economic dominance, and over
our changing climate-are playing out atop, within, and below the
world's oceans. The essential question, he shows, is this: who will
rule the waves and set the terms of the world to come?

Race in the Shadow of Law offers a critical legal analysis of
European responses to institutional racism. It draws connections
between contemporary legal knowledge practices and colonial systems
of thought, arguing that many people of colour experience the law
as a part of a racial problem, rather than a solution, to racial
injustice. Based on a critical legal ethnography of anti-racism
work in Europe, and with an emphasis on the German context, the
book positions Black and anti-racist perspectives at the centre,
rather than the margins, of critically thinking through the
intersection of race and law. Combining this ethnography with
comparative legal analysis, discourse analysis and critical race
theory, the book develops a critical discussion of the European
legal frameworks aimed at regulating racism, and particularly
institutional racism, in policy and policing. In linking this
critique to the transformative potential of social movements,
however, it goes on to examine the strategic and creative
possibility of disrupting conventional modes of engaging, and
resisting, law.

These evocative stories bring to life the tragic personal impact of
the Cultural Revolution on the families of China's intellectuals.
Now adults, survivors recall their childhood during the tumultuous
years between 1965 and 1976, when Mao's death finally drew a
curtain on a bitterly failed social and political experiment.A
series of first-person narratives eloquently describes the
life-long influence of this seminal period on China's children.
Those who were teenagers in the late 1960s joined the Red Guards
and the revolutionary rebel groups, following Mao's directives to
make revolution, often to their own undoing. Those who were too
young to participate directly were even more vulnerable. Although
they had little understanding of the political firestorm that
engulfed their parents, they were old enough to understand and feel
the terror it brought. Vividly capturing the emotional intensity of
the time, these stories explore what it was like to be caught up in
revolutionary fervor, to be sent to the countryside, to be
separated--either ideologically or physically--from one's parents,
often forever.By undermining families and family structure, the
Cultural Revolution created a generation of Chinese who view
politics, the Communist Party, and life itself with deep cynicism.
Presenting a spectrum of individual stories of people who saw the
Cultural Revolution through the eyes of a child, "The Red Mirror"
offers rare insights for understanding the crippling legacy of the
Cultural Revolution.
