Book Description

Two Sides of a Barricade argues that to construct global democracy, conflict and dissent must be taken seriously. Christian Scholl explores the political significance of the confrontations within four sites of interaction: bodies, space, communication, and law. Each site of struggle provides a different entry point to understand the influence of protester and police tactics on each other. At the same time, the four sites of struggle allow a comprehensive analysis of how the contestation of global hegemonic forces during summit protests trigger a preemptive shift in social control through increased deployment of biopolitical forms of power.

Book Description

Dublin Burning is a vivid, clear-eyed account of the 1916 Rising and is the most complete account we have from a senior participant. No other senior Volunteer figure has left a similar memoir of Easter Week. Commandant W.J. Brennan-Whitmore was officer commanding the Volunteer position at the head of North Earl Street, an outworking of the GPO garrison. Its purpose was to delay and frustrate any attempt by the British to deploy reinforcements coming from Amiens Street railway station (now Connolly). Commandant Brennan-Whitmore and his men held this position for over seventy-two hours until forced out by British artillery. He and his troops attempted to retreat northwards through the slums, hoping to reach the safety of the suburbs. But he and his men were not Dubliners and were unfamiliar with the city. They were captured in a tenement where they had taken refuge and were interned in Frongoch in Wales until 1917. Brennan-Whitmore's book is a unique document, one of the most valuable accounts of the Rising available to us.

Book Description

[Contains Episodes 000 - 014] Almost six years after a brutal year-long genocide campaign known as 'The Dehue Extermination Project,' Damian Warkowski is woken up from cryo-sleep by two teenage girls, Jenny Knight and Marner Fraden--both of whom think of the situation as odd and suspicious. For one, he was imprisoned in a cryogenic capsule under their school; two: their own schoolmate, Tim Ryan, was guarding him; and three: they find themselves to be relentlessly pursued by the most infamous and powerful terrorist organization in the nation because the Dehue they just woke up happens to be THE 'Dead Blue' responsible for the deaths of twenty million people. The situation only gets worse when Damian takes them and a few other companions hostage to escape the country. However, Damian is quick to realize that these hostages may be even crazier than he is, and not only do they outnumber him, they may also have plans of their own for him. [PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS 'DARK-BOY'] Cobalt Rogue is a 'director's cut' of the original volume--now re-edited and remastered.
