Free Black History, Palestine, Socialism (and other) books on Haymarket

So, HaymarketBooks is a cool online bookstore that, while it does sell physical and digital books, it also offers a lot of free ebooks on subjects it thinks the public should be aware of.

Two categories I know of are Black History, after some racist law in the US that banned Black History resources

And Palestine, what with government media giving a super biased view of unfortunately

It’s in moments like these that we must turn to independent media and resource providers to educate ourselves on topics the government or other people don’t want us to learn about.

Now, here are all of Haymarket’s books they are offering for free, since their website doesn’t have a filter or sort by price option.

From the River to the Sea: Essays for a Free Palestine

Edited by Sai Englert, Michal Schatz and Rosie Warren

In the final months of 2023, as this ebook is published, Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. Israeli officials have repeatedly made their intentions to do so extremely clear; talking of collective punishment, mass murder, and ethnic cleansing in newspapers, at press conferences and on television. All the while, European and American states have continued to support Israel, to claim its murderous campaign is justified self-defence, and to send weapons, troops, war boats and spy planes in support. While Western governments have supported the unjustifiable, or spoken inane words of condemnation while failing to take any concrete action, millions around the world have poured into the streets to denounce their complicity, to demand a ceasefire and a free Palestine. From the River to the Sea collects personal testimonies from within Gaza and the West Bank, along with essays and interviews that collectively provide crucial histories and analyses to help us understand how we got to the nightmarish present. They place Israel’s genocidal campaign within the longer history of settler colonialism in Palestine, and Hamas within the longer histories of Palestinian resistance and the so-called ‘peace process’. They explore the complex history of Palestine’s relationship to Jordan, Egypt, and the broader Middle East, the eruption of unprecedented anti-Zionist Jewish protest in the US, the alarming escalation in state repression of Palestine solidarity in Britain and Europe, and more. Taken together, the essays comprising this collection provide important grounding for the urgent discussions taking place across the Palestine solidarity movement.

With contributions from: Dr. Reda Abu Assi, Asmaa Abu Mezied, Tawfiq Abu Shomer, Khalil Abu Yahia, Dunia Aburahma, Spencer Ackerman, Hil Aked, Dr. Yousef Al-Akkad, Jamie Allinson, Dr. Hammam Alloh, Riya Al’Sanah, Soheir Asaad, Tareq Baconi, Rana Barakat, Omar Barghouti, Sara Besaiso, Ashley Bohrer, Haim Bresheeth-Žabner, Nihal El Aasar, Mohammed El-Kurd, Sai Englert, Noura Erakat, Samera Esmeir, Rebecca Ruth Gould, Toufic Haddad, Adam Hanieh, Khaled Hroub, Rashid Khalidi, Noah Kulwin, Saree Makdisi, Ghassan Najjar, Samar Saeed, Reema Saleh, Alberto Toscano and Eyal Weizman, alongside a number of Palestinian writers published pseudonymously. Published in collaboration with Haymarket Books. Cover design: Tom Greenwood.

Cine al menguar la pandemia: Sniegu juz nigdy nie bedzie (Nunca volverá a nevar)

Hay desde el inicio de "Sniegu juz nigdy nie bedzie", una perfilación algo extraña en el desarrollo del personaje principal. Un personaje enigmático y a su manera cautivante, un inmigrante que se dedica a dar masajes (!) a ciertos habitantes de un barrio pudiente, pero que poco a poco se convierte para ellos en una especie de exótico y apacible mesías, que tarde o temprano esperan les libere de sus cuitas.

Eso hace de la nueva cinta de Malgorzata Szumowska (junto a Michal Englert esta vez), una película singularmente extravagante, porque se abigarra de simbolismos y de un hermetismo entre místico y de denuncia social.

En ese sentido, la historia se deja llevar por sus esotéricas alegorías, y a pesar de que realmente no llega a ninguna parte en esos terrenos (es decir, nada concluyente), se hace seductora, deleitable y hasta sorprendente por momentos… aunque paradójicamente haya dejado de ser tan importante todo eso que pasa en la pantalla desde un buen tiempo antes del final.

Never Gonna Snow Again https://bit.ly/37woIlk   Remember the days when you’d never get a popular film star to work on a TV series? The reverse happened when co-directors Malgorzata Szumowska and Michal Englert were casting Never Gonna Snow Again. They wanted Alec Utgoff, of big American TV series Stranger Things fame, to take pole position in their Polish film but […]

Film after film: Śniegu już nigdy nie będzie (Never Gonna Snow Again, dir. Małgorzata Szumowska, Michał Englert, 2020)

hoped for a high like "Body" and "Mug", got a low like "Elles," though not SO low, spoiler alert: snow is a metaphor and will eventually snow again, will remember it for a brief exchange between Agata Kulesza and Alec Utgoff, whom she informs about having illegally composted her deceased husband, the other plots and characters (featuring Figura, Ostaszewska, Simlat, Chyra) are so so uneventful
