By 2008, total Fair Trade purchases in the developed world reached
nearly $3 billion, a five-fold increase in four years. Consumers
pay a "fair price" for Fair Trade items, which are meant to
generate greater earnings for family farmers, cover the costs of
production, and support socially just and environmentally sound
practices. Yet constrained by existing markets and the entities
that dominate them, Fair Trade often delivers material improvements
for producers that are much more modest than the profound social
transformations the movement claims to support. There has been
scant real-world assessment of Fair Trade's effectiveness. Drawing
upon fine-grained anthropological studies of a variety of regions
and commodity systems including Darjeeling tea, coffee, crafts, and
cut flowers, the chapters in Fair Trade and Social Justice
represent the first works to use ethnographic case studies to
assess whether the Fair Trade Movement is actually achieving its
goals. Contributors: Julia Smith, Mark Moberg, Catherine Ziegler ,

A fiery, intersectional guide for activists and witches alike,
Revolutionary Witchcraft is an empowered introduction to the
history and practice of politically-motivated magic. From the
politically charged origins of the word "witch" to the present-day
magical resistance, this bold handbook explores the role of
witchcraft in our modern world. Author, activist, and practicing
witch Sarah Lyons takes readers on a journey through a leftist
history of magic -- from the witch hunts of early modern England,
through the Salem Witch Trials, and up to our present moment.
Pairing mystical acts, including sigil magic and soul flight, with
core organizing tactics, like power mapping and protests,
Revolutionary Witchcraft offers a blueprint for building a
politically grounded magical praxis. From social justice to
environmental activism, this radical re imagining of political
activism addresses today's most pressing problems with empowering,
inclusive rituals and magical actions. Each chapter introduces a
key concept, like dreaming big, experiencing magical initiation,
and joining the revolution, supported by a surprising historical
case study on the power of mystical action. Full of actionable
ideas for magical organising, and an appendix packed with
customised spells, Revolutionary Witchcraft is the perfect
companion for the magical uprising.

Cassie Forrest could almost believe life at Kingdom Come Farm is
perfect, with Adrian and her friends at her side and spring on the
way. The spring thaw also means millions of defrosting zombies,
however, and if the past year has taught her anything, it's that
life in this new world is highly imperfect. When Safe Zones
throughout the country begin to disappear and the zombies at the
fences grow in number, Cassie clings to the hope that if she has
the people she loves most, it will be all right. But the highly
imperfect world makes only one guarantee-zombies never die, never
stop and are never satiated.
