The Aesthetics of Resistance, Volume 3: A Novel by Peter Weiss

==================================================================

“One of the most significant works of postwar German literature. . . . Exhilaratingly strange, compelling, and original. Readers who dare to enter this demanding verbal landscape will not come away empty-handed.”—**Mark M. Anderson,** _**Bookforum**_

### The Fine Art of Persuasion

Gennifer Weisenfeld

“_The Fine Art of Persuasion_ is a landmark study. The wide-ranging evidence Gennifer Weisenfeld presents leaves no doubt about the impact of commercial design in the development of Japan’s consumer capitalism. Generously illustrated and crisply written, this book will be a go-to reference for anyone interested in the convergence of advertising and mass media within Japan’s rapidly evolving and often fraught social, political, and economic history.” \- Christine M. E. Guth, author of _Craft Culture in Early Modern Japan: Materials, Makers, and Mastery_

### Gone Gone

Todd Meyers

“Like snowflakes on your tongue, _Gone Gone_ melts into the work of mourning. Moving in its minimalism, evocative in its questioning of the mass casualty event that the opioid overdose death crisis has morphed into, the book insistently asks: Who are the gone gone and how are they still with us?” \- Nancy D. Campbell, author of _OD: Naloxone and the Politics of Overdose_

### What Had Happened Was

TherĂ­ Alyce Pickens

“In this engaging new collection of poetry, Therí Alyce Pickens demonstrates that she is a poet of depth, range, and often incisive humor. Her poems are a revelation.” \- John Keene, author of _Punks: New and Selected Poems_

[

### Artery

Austin Zeiderman

“Through lucid ethnography along Colombia’s Magdalena River, Austin Zeiderman shows how attempts to forge a fluvial ‘logistics corridor’ revive and sustain racial and spatial difference. With deep sensitivity to the human and nonhuman life that traverses these terraqueous environs, Zeiderman offers a deft critique of the fetishisms of logistics and of governable supply chains and their smooth flow, revealing logistics to be aleatory and extremely lucrative, unpredictable and deeply contradictory.” \- Sharad Chari, author of _Apartheid Remains_

](artery)

[

### Oceanic Becoming

Rob Wilson

“_Oceanic Becoming_ foregrounds Rob Wilson’s contention that new epistemological frameworks are urgently needed to create a more responsive planetary sense of multispecies belonging and becoming. The significance of his notion of Oceania inheres in its potential to open space, time, and consciousness for other values and modes of being. Epic in scope and written in luminous prose, _Oceanic Becoming_ is an outstanding achievement of signal importance.” \- Donald E. Pease, Dartmouth College

### Bad Medicine

Sarah A. Whitt

“Brilliantly conceived, deeply researched, and powerfully written, _Bad Medicine_ is a compelling book that reveals the interconnectedness of—indeed the interdependence among—a range of institutions that contained and confined Indigenous lives in the Progressive Era as well as the networks of white racial power that buttressed and sustained this disciplinary apparatus. Sarah A. Whitt takes seemingly well-trodden stories and presents them anew by examining generative yet unexplored areas in ways that will transform our understanding of them. _Bad Medicine_ is an incredibly important contribution.” \- Brianna Theobald, author of _Reproduction on the Reservation: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Colonialism in the Long Twentieth Century_

### Riding

Pardis Mahdavi

“_Riding_ is a compelling story about failure, feminism, and freedom, mixed with tantalizing glimpses of an Iran that Americans never see. It is a fast, exhilarating read, like a good gallop!” \- Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of _Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family_

### Marx for Cats

Leigh Claire La Berge

“_Marx for Cats_ is an undomesticated and indefinable meow de coeur. You can open this book anywhere---it's a Marxist Choose Your Own Adventure---and come away as unsettled, possessed, and reflective as any transportative encounter with a cat might leave you.” \- Jordy Rosenberg, author of _Confessions of the Fox_

### In the Wake

Christina Sharpe

"Christina Sharpe brings everything she has to bear on her consideration of the violation and commodification of Black life and the aesthetic responses to this ongoing state of emergency. Through her curatorial practice, Sharpe marshals the collective intellectual heft and aesthetic inheritance of the African diaspora to show us the world as it appears from her distinctive line of sight. A searing and brilliant work." \- Saidiya Hartman, author of _Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route_

### Black Disability Politics

Sami Schalk

“Black disabled genius is crucial to the work of creating a free present and future. In _Black Disability Politics_, Sami Schalk does so much absolutely brilliant Black queer disabled femme labor of surfacing buried Black disabled activist histories and organizing lessons. Her book is a Black queer disabled love offering, and reading it made me shout for joy and learn so much. I’m so grateful this book is in the world. Read it and give thanks that we get to share the world with the brilliance of Schalk and the organizers she writes about—then get to work putting into practice the lessons you’ve learned, so we can win.” \- Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, author of _Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice_

### Raving

McKenzie Wark

“Passionately exploring queer rave culture, _Raving_ is the fantasy and the moment. There are drugs and sex, tangled love affairs, rejection, the highs and lows of the dance floors, and all the messiness that makes up a rave evening. A potent book.” \- madison moore, author of _Fabulous: The Rise of the Beautiful Eccentric_

### Living a Feminist Life

Sara Ahmed

“From the moment I received Sara Ahmed’s new work, _Living a Feminist Life_, I couldn’t put it down. It’s such a brilliant, witty, visionary new way to think about feminist theory. Everyone should read this book. It offers amazing new ways of knowing and talking about feminist theory and practice. And, it is also delightful, funny, and as the song says, ‘your love has lifted me higher.’ Ahmed lifts us higher.” \- bell hooks
