From internationalist and nonpartisan progressive, author of "Same Ole or Something New" and "BREAKDOWN," comes another thought-provoking work NO LAND AN ISLAND NO PEOPLE APART challenging readers to face the "callously immoral, lawless, relentlessly regressive model in U.S. foreign relations"; and embrace an authentic progressivism. "This book is unconcerned with political fi gures per se (or their parties)," Bennett says, "but rather with a malignant system maintained by a parade of tentacled regimes whose offi cial (elected) base of operation begins in the capital of the United States, a system that is seemingly endorsed by the people of the United States." The author maintains that the United States has created and entrenched a narrow worldview, espousing an attitude that all land and peoples belong to America to use and abuse, to pillage and plunder. In this work, Dr. Carolyn LaDelle Bennett takes a second look at U.S. relations with Afghanistan and Pakistan, Iran and Iraq, Bahrain and Yemen, Libya and Somalia; and sees a continuing BREAKDOWN that worsens in act and consequence. She then presents her own ideas and worldview; and a challenge to embrace a nonviolent, transformative, inclusive progressivism imbued with a sense of global society, a sensibility that inspires constructive, continuous forward movement. Bold and daring, NO LAND AN ISLAND NO PEOPLE APART is an educator's guide, a philosopher's critique, a news writer's eye, an internationalist's sensibility chronicling U.S. foreign relations violence and the human costs East Africa crossing the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden into Persia, the Middle East, South Central Asia.

Set sail with Island Book: The Infinite Land, the second volume in an Evan Dahm's epic fantasy graphic novel trilogy rich with allegory and underlying themes. After their quest to find the Monster, Sola and her friends have gone down separate paths. Sola spends her days on the open seas while Hunder stays close to home as the chief of the unified Sun and Fortress Islands. And Wick? Well . . . it’s almost as if he’s become a ghost. Then their world is thrown into chaos when Alef, the captain of one of Hunder’s ships, brings news of a massive island—a continent—that he says the Sun and Fortress islanders are destined to claim for their own. Alef and Hunder launch an expedition that threatens to bring death and destruction to any who stand in their way. Sola must make a choice—step aside and allow other islanders to die, or risk her own life in order to stop her friend.
Global Crusoe travels across the twentieth-century globe to explore the huge variety of contemporary incarnations of Daniel Defoe's intrepid character. Reading texts by authors such as Nadine Gordimer, Bessie Head, Derek Walcott and J.M. Coetzee, Fallon argues that the twentieth-century Crusoe is not a lone, struggling survivor, but a cosmopolitan figure who serves as a warning against the dangers of individual isolation and colonial oppression.
