Queer and Religious Alliances in Family Law Politics and Beyond
Edited by Nausica Palazzo, Jeffrey A. Redding
Family law is a site of social conflict and the erasure of non-traditional families. This book explores how conservative religious and progressive queer groups can cooperatively work together to expand family law’s recognition beyond the traditional state-sponsored family. This book also looks to future arenas of queer and religious political cooperation beyond family law.

Popular Radicalism and the Unemployed in Chicago during the Great Depression
Chris Wright
In a time when mass joblessness and precarious employment are becoming issues of national concern, it is useful to reconsider the experiences of the unemployed in an earlier period of economic hardship, the Great Depression. Focusing on the bellwether city of Chicago, this book reevaluates their struggles, revealing the kernel of political radicalism and class resistance in practices that are usually thought of as apolitical and un-ideological. From communal sharing to “eviction riots,” from Unemployed Councils to the nationwide movement behind the remarkable Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill, millions of people fought to end the reign of capitalist values and usher in a new, more socialistic society. Today, their legacy is their resilience, their resourcefulness, and their proof that the unemployed can organize themselves to renew the struggle for a more just world.

The Democracy Amendments
Constitutional Reforms to Save the United States
John J. Davenport
A vicious spiral of political polarisation, failing government, loss of public faith, and conspiracy-mongers undermining US elections, are pushing the country toward the abyss of political violence. Only deep constitutional change, brought about by a new national convention, can free us from this mess. A sane, comprehensive solution is called for to treat the malaise affecting our body politic. This rescue plan will require a new national convention.

The Ethics of Personal Data Collection in International Relations
Inclusionism in the Time of COVID-19
Edited by Colette Mazzucelli, James Felton Keith, C. Ann Hollifield
foreword by Azza Karam
afterword by Joshua CooperThis volume attests to the fact that pressing global public health concerns are ever present as subjects of societal discourse and debate in developed and developing states. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic makes the omission of the ethics of personal data collection analysis in the international relations literature even more salient given the rise of contact tracing and increased uses of mobile phone Apps to track citizens by states and firms across the globe, as this volume’s chapters analyzing the responses to COVID-19 in Iran and Taiwan explain.

Prometheus and Gaia
Technology, Ecology and Anti-Humanism
Harrison Fluss, Landon Frim
Prometheus and Gaia explores two currents in contemporary politics: a Futurism which sees boundless technology as a salvific force and an Eco-Pessimism which sees human innovation as inherently destructive. While apparent opposites, these two currents share in common a rejection of Enlightenment humanism, or the idea that politics should fit the human frame.
