Rising Sun Victorious : Alternate Histories of the Pacific War (9781522688815)



In war, victory can be held hostage to seemingly insignificant incidents--chance events, opportunities seized or cast aside--that can derail the most brilliant military strategies and change the course of history. What if the Japanese had conquered India and driven out the British? What if the strategic link between the United States and Australia had been severed? What if Vice Admiral Nagumo had launched a third attack on Pearl Harbor? What if the US Navy's gamble at Midway had backfired?

Ten leading military historians ask these and other questions in this fascinating book. The war with Japan was rife with difficult choices and battles that could have gone either way. These fact-based alternate scenarios offer intriguing insights into what might have happened in the Pacific during World War II and what the consequences would have been for America.

The accompanying reference guide is included as a PDF on this disc.

Aufstand aus der Küche : Reproduktionsarbeit im globalen Kapitalismus und die unvollendete feministische Revolution (9783942885324)

In dem Band formuliert die feministisch-marxistische Theoretikerin und Aktivistin Silvia Federici eine aktuelle Kritik der Reproduktionsarbeit im globalen Kapitalismus und plädiert für eine feministische Politik der Commons. Neben zwei neuen Beiträgen wird auch die bereits 1974 verfasste Kritik Counter-Planning from the Kitchen erstmals in deutscher Sprache veröffentlicht. Federici erinnert an die unerledigte Revolution des Feminismus und plädiert für deren Aktualisierung in der Gegenwart. Queer-Feminismus und Ökonomiekritik schließen einander nicht aus (wie in letzter Zeit immer wieder behauptet), sondern müssen verbunden werden. Das Buch, das unsere Reihe eröffnen wird, ist gleichzeitig eine Intervention in einen queeren wie feministischen Diskurs, der sich um eine Kritik des Kapitalismus zu wenig bemüht und andererseits eine Intervention in den ökonomiekritischen, marxistischen Diskurs, der leider immer noch sehr androzentrisch (männerdominiert) funktioniert und Geschlechterverhält
