The Shape of the Beast
The Shape Of The Beast
    A collection of
    interviews, conducted
    between January 2001 and
    March 2008, examines the
    nature of state and
    corporate power as it has
    emerged during this
    period, and the shape
    that resistance movements
    are taking. It talks
    about the dilemma of
    guarding the private
    space necessary for
    writing in a world that
    demands unequivocal
    intervention.

Dissenters, Radicals, Heretics
And Blasphemers
    A stream of dissent,
    protest, uprising and
    rebellion is a central
    part of UK history.
    Taking key events from
    both the past and modern
    times John Hostettler
    demonstrates how when
    legitimate avenues of
    challenge to the actions
    of the state or other

    closed to people then
    they are bound to assert
    their rights in other

Gender, Agency And Political
Violence
    Gender is not a 'security

    studies on violent
    subjects, reason, and
    emotion demonstrate
    different ways in which
    we understand political
    violence, security,
    resistance, power, and
    agency, and how we make
    sense of gender.
