Politically Unconscious: The Psychic Aftermath of the Sudanese Revolution is Mohamed Khougali's reflection on what it means to organize and think after a revolution has been usurped. Written as both a participant in Sudan's 2018-19 uprising and a working psychotherapist, Khougali weaves together a history of the Sudanese Left, an account of the current war and the racialized financialization that informed the various factions, alongside the development of a new clinical modality he calls "praxis psychotherapy."
Refusing the reductive binaries of international media coverage and the moral puritanism he sees paralyzing contemporary leftist thought, Khougali argues that Sudan cannot be understood apart from a longer "irrational revolution" linking Khartoum to Darfur, and Sudan to Palestine, through the same circuits of imperial accumulation and waste. At once political history and clinical experiment, Politically Unconscious is a work with lessons for comrades involved in the struggle—in Sudan, and far beyond.

Gripping the reader from the very beginning, Scars and Medals is the journey of Mohanad Alsayed—from coming of age during the First Intifada, moving to America, and the riveting search for a lost freedom fighter uncle. Including conversations with his grandmother who lived through the Nakba, this work shows the intergenerational connection to Palestine surviving in the face of colonization and occupation. His story is a reminder to us all that Palestinians’ existence is resistance, and the most courageous act is to live.

4 My Peoples is a powerful, poetic call to arms from the belly of the empire. Daniel Brooks’ urgent words tell of drone warfare, surveillance states, and the fascist roots of American power, while refusing despair and finding rhythm in resistance.
Seeking strength and meaning through connecting with those that have gone before, 4 My Peoples shows how poetry can still bite, still organize, and speak to and for the people rather than about them.

“Destruction becomes the principal commodity produced by capital. Militarism will lead accumulation, which will theoretically demolish any limit to capital.”

The Communist Question, published posthumously in Italian, is a continuation of the discussion began in Losurdo’s Western Marxism… book. Given the enormous debate the renewed interest in that book has raised, we're excited to contribute to that critical discussion with the publication of this translation Domenico Losurdo’s La Questione Comunista translated into English by Henry Hakamäki and Salvatore Engel Di-Mauro.
