Paperback. Condition: Good. Upsetting the Apple Cart surveys the history of black-Latino coalitions in New York City from 1959 to 1989. In those years, African American and Latino Progressives organized, mobilized, and transformed neighborhoods, workplaces, university campuses, and representative government in the nation's urban capital. Upsetting the Apple Cart makes new contributions to our understanding of protest movements and strikes in the 1960s and 1970s and reveals the little-known role of left-of-center organizations in New York City politics as well as the influence of Jesse Jackson's 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns on city elections. Frederick Douglass Opie provides a social history of black and Latino working-class collaboration in shared living and work spaces and exposes racist suspicion and divisive jockeying among elites in political clubs and anti-poverty programs. He ultimately offers a different interpretation of the story of the labor, student, civil rights, and Black Power movements than has been traditionally told. His work highlights both the largely unknown agents of historic change in the city and the noted politicians, political strategists, and union leaders whose careers were built on this history. Also, as Napoleon said, An army marches on its stomach, and Opie's history equally delves into the role that food plays in social movements, with representative recipes from the American South and the Caribbean included throughout. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "When a thing is funny, search it for a hidden truth", Bernard Shaw wrote. Through a long and brilliant career as a playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist, among other roles, his ability to reveal life's truth through humour estabished him as one of the most quoted writers in the English language. "Not Bloody Likely" is a wonderful collection of the best of the playwright's witicisms and other turns-of-phrase, in which Bernard Shaw often unmasks the truth with humour and style. "All genuinely intellectual work is humorous", he wrote in 1892; "The real joke is that I am in earnest", he told an interviewer in 1896. "The truth is sometimes the funniest joke in the world", he noted in 1946, "until it is thoroughly found out". Here are Shaw's remarks on colonialism ("A conquered nation is like a man with cancer: he can think of nothing else"), morals ("The nation's morals are like its teeth: the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them"), government ("A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul"), and vegetariansim ("A mind the calibre of mine cannot derive its nutriment from cows"). Bernard F. Dukore's introduction surveys Bernard Shaw's passion for politics, the arts, and life in general. No one can turn the pages of this book without appreciating Shaw's love of language and the truth, his unique flair for self-expression. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In Taiwanese writer Lo Yi-Chins Faraway, a fictionalized version of the author finds himself stranded in mainland China attempting to bring his comatose father home. Los father had fled decades ago, abandoning his first family to start a new life in Taiwan. After travel between the two countries becomes politically possible, he returns to visit the son he left behind, only to suffer a stroke. The middle-aged protagonist ventures to China, where he embarks on a protracted struggle with the byzantine hospital regulations while dealing with relatives he barely knows. Meanwhile, back in Taiwan, his wife is about to give birth to their second child. Isolated in a foreign country, Lo mulls over his life, dwelling on his difficult relationship with his father and how becoming a father himself has changed him. Faraway is a powerful meditation on the nature of family and the many ways blood can both unite and divide us. Los depiction of family dynamics and fraught politics contains a keen sense of irony and sensitivity to everyday absurdity. He offers a deft portrayal of the rift between China and Taiwan through an intimate view of a father-son relationship that bridges this divide. One of the most celebrated writers in Taiwan, Lo has been greatly influential throughout the Chinese-speaking world, but his work has not previously been translated into English. Jeremy Tiangs translation captures Los distinctive voice, mordant wit, and nuanced portrayal of Taiwanese culture. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
