In light of the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan, the remarkable personal story that comprises Fear Itself becomes a cautionary tale.Unwittingly exposed to low-level radiation in the 1940s, Candida Lawrence has lived courageously with its effects throughout her life. Fear Itself traces her years struggling to have a child and her slow waking to the secrets that governments and institutions withheld from the women of her generation. The task for her-and for women who have shared her experience-has always been to believe herself into wholeness and to survive her los

Wir leben im Zeitalter der Angst - höchste Zeit, den Klassiker von Zygmunt Bauman zu lesen, der hier endlich zum ersten Mal deutsch vorliegt. Viele Katastrophen haben wir schon hinter uns, an die Fernsehbilder haben wir uns gewöhnt, aber die Anatomie der Ängste, die Misere der Moderne hat sich nicht verändert. Im Gegenteil: Die Gedanken von Bauman haben nichts von ihrem Gewicht verloren, sie sind heute, da die von ihm dargestellten Mechanismen zunehmend wirksam werden und sich seine Vorhersagen bewahrheiten, aktueller und leichter verständlich denn je. Ein grandioser, mitreißender Text über die Herkunft der Angst und die Möglichkeiten zu ihrer Überwindung.

"'I've experienced the best and worst of humanity. I've been detained and beaten, and welcomed and respected. And yet, this story-my story-is one of hope, not fear.' Hassan Akkad arrived in the UK after 87 days of travelling, fleeing his home and job as an English teacher in Damascus, Syria. He shares a story and experience of many refugees fleeing conflict, a story that we hear reported on the news but that the majority of us can hardly imagine. In remarkable footage capturing his passage to the UK and subsequent work as a cleaner on a London hospital Covid-19 ward, he makes the most extraordinary and terrifying experiences feel intensely close to home. Since arriving in the UK, Hassan has continued the outspoken activism work that has by turns seen him at the receiving end of brutal torture at the hands of the Assad regime in Syria, but also raised tens of thousands of pounds for refugee charity Choose Love and instigated a government U-turn on excluding the families of NHS cleaners and porters from its Covid-19 bereavement compensation scheme. With his unique storyteller's instinct, Hassan - in his refugee journey, his charity work and his stint as a cleaner on a Covid-19 ward - has captured hearts the world over. Readers of his story will not want to cry, but to campaign because his message of triumphing over adversity by standing together, united in kindness and love, is the single most important message of our time. In this book he shows us why"--Publisher's description

Fear has long served elites. They rely on fear to keep and expand their privileges and control the masses. In the current crisis of the capitalist world system, elites in the United States, along with other central countries, promote fear of crime and terrorism. They shaped these fears so that people looked to authorities for security, which permitted extension of apparatuses of coercion like police and military forces. In the face of growing oppression, rebellion against elite hegemony remains possible. This book offers an analysis of the crisis and strategies for rebellion.
