There is a parenting revolution afoot, and children are leading the charge. Traditional parenting is undergoing a dramatic revision and antiquated notions borne of the old psychology will no longer suffice. In The Revolutionary Whos Raising You, author and clinical psychologist Deidre Steadman combines psychological savvy, storytelling, metaphor, and humor to weave together an evocative vision for empowered parenting. This guide tackles the many misconceptions upon which the old psychology is built. Notions about good parenting and good children, bad parenting and bad children have been constructed on these shaky foundations. Steadman dispels the parent-bynumbers myth and helps parents reawaken to their instinctive confidence, their natural clarity, and their innate joy. Filled with examples and actionable advice, The Revolutionary Whos Raising You seeks to inspire parents, educators, and mental health workers to raise self-confident, resilient, happy children. Above all, this book awakens parents to the spiritual savvy and psychological mastery of their child.

This ambitious volume examines revolutionary situations during a non-revolutionary historical conjuncture--the neoliberal era. The last three decades have seen an increase in the number of political upheavals that challenge existing power structures, many of them taking the form of urban revolts. This book compellingly explores a series of such upheavals--in Eastern Europe, South Africa, Indonesia, Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela, sub-Saharan Africa (including Congo, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso) and Egypt. Each chapter studies the ways in which protest movements developed into insurgent challenges to state power, and the strategies that regimes have deployed to contain and repress revolt. In addition to empirical chapters, the book engages in theorization of revolution, dealing with questions such as the patterning of revolution in contemporary history, the relationship between class struggle and social movements, and the prospects of socialist revolution in the twenty-first century.

C. Wright Mills was a radical public intellectual, a tough-talking, motorcycle-riding anarchist from Texas who taught sociology at Columbia University. Mills's three most influential books--The Power Elite, White Collar, and The Sociological Imagination--were originally published by OUP and are considered classics. The first collection of his writings to be published since 1963, The Politics of Truth contains 23 out-of-print and hard-to-find writings which show his growth from academic sociologist to an intellectual maestro in command of a mature style, a dissenter who sought to inspire the public to oppose the drift toward permanent war. Given the political deceptions of recent years, Mills's truth-telling is more relevant than ever. Seminal papers including "Letter to the New Left" appear alongside lesser known meditations such as "Are We Losing Our Sense of Belonging?" John Summers provides fresh insights in his introduction, which gives an overview of Mills's life and career. Summers has also written annotations that establish each piece's context and has drawn up a comprehensive bibliography of Mills's published and unpublished writings.
