L'ordre moins le pouvoir: histoire et actualité de l'anarchisme (Instinct de liberté #6)
Par Normand Baillargeon. 2023
"Affirmez que vous êtes anarchiste et presque immanquablement on vous assimilera à un nihiliste, à un partisan du chaos voire…
à un terroriste. Or il faut bien le dire: rien n'est plus faux que ce contre-sens qui résulte de décennies de confusion savamment entretenue autour de l'anarchisme. En première approximation, disons que l'anarchisme est une théorie politique au cœur vibrant de laquelle loge l'idée d'anti-autoritarisme, c'est-à-dire le refus conscient et raisonné de toute forme illégitime d'autorité et de pouvoir."Un tal Evo: biografía no autorizada

violent, l'un d'eux lui a jeté du décapant au visage. En quelques heures, il s'est retrouvé aveugle. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de trente ans de réflexion sur les conséquences de cette nuit-là. Avec une concision et une force remarquables, mêlant la pensée actuelle aux extraits de son journal intime d'alors, l'auteur retrace, sans jamais s'apitoyer sur son sort, ce par quoi il a dû passer : accepter que la vie bascule brutalement, se rééduquer pour retrouver, autant que possible, une existence libre et indépendante, savoir se faire aider mais aussi savoir établir avec les autres une relation dans laquelle sa condition se ferait oublier. De façon étonnante, il a continué à voyager seul à l'autre bout du monde, et même à voir, bien qu'il ait perdu l'usage de ses yeux. Mi-témoignage, mi-essai, ce livre est aussi une méditation inspirée sur les ressources dans lesquelles nous pouvons puiser pour affronter les pires épreuves." -- 4e de couvReal U guide to saving and investing (Real U Guides Ser.)

Gray areas: How the way we work perpetuates racism and what we can do to fix it
Par Adia Harvey Wingfield. 2023
A leading sociologist reveals why racial inequality persists in the workplace despite today's multi-billion-dollar diversity industry—and provides actional solutions for…
creating a truly equitable, multiracial future. Labor and race have shared a complex, interconnected history in America. For decades, key aspects of work—from getting a job to workplace norms to advancement and mobility—ignored and failed Black people. While explicit discrimination no longer occurs, and organizations make internal and public pledges to honor and achieve "diversity," inequities persist through what Adia Harvey Wingfield calls the "gray areas:" the relationships, networks, and cultural dynamics integral to companies that are now more important than ever. The reality is that Black employees are less likely to be hired, stall out at middle levels, and rarely progress to senior leadership positions. Wingfield has spent a decade examining inequality in the workplace, interviewing over two hundred Black subjects across professions about their work lives. In Gray Areas, she introduces seven of them: Alex, a worker in the gig economy Max, an emergency medicine doctor; Constance, a chemical engineer; Brian, a filmmaker; Amalia, a journalist; Darren, a corporate vice president; and Kevin, who works for a nonprofit. In this accessible and important antiracist work, Wingfield chronicles their experiences and blends them with history and surprising data that starkly show how old models of work are outdated and detrimental. She demonstrates the scope and breadth of gray areas and offers key insights and suggestions for how they can be fixed, including shifting hiring practices to include Black workers; rethinking organizational cultures to centralize Black employees' experience; and establishing pathways that move capable Black candidates into leadership roles. These reforms would create workplaces that reflect America's increasingly diverse population—professionals whose needs organizations today are ill-prepared to meet. It's time to prepare for a truly equitable, multiracial future and move our culture forward. To do so, we must address the gray areas in our workspaces today.

lieux où le pouvoir se concentre se sont déplacés, multipliés, éparpillés. Notez la nuance : on s'intéresse aux pouvoirs au pluriel, et non plus au Pouvoir au singulier et avec majuscule. Aujourd'hui, qu'on le veuille ou non, les règles qui encadrent notre monde dépendent autant de nos parlementaires, que de quelques cabinets juridiques basés à Londres ; les guerres qui le secouent prennent autant leurs origines dans les incompréhensions au conseil de sécurité de l'ONU que dans les discrètes ententes entre George W. Bush et Robert Murdoch. Nos réactions face au terrorisme sont autant influencées par notre éducation que par la nature des liens de la chaîne Al-Jazirah avec l'émirat du Qatar ; nos ressources énergétiques sont autant assurées par la compagnie pétrolière BP, capable d'influencer le tracé des frontières de la mer Caspienne, que par les ministres de l'Energie de l'Union Européenne." -- 4e de couv
