Lothian, Sydney, 2006. Edition Unstated. Hardcover. Good Condition. *Starred Review* Recipient of numerous awards and nominations in Australia, The Arrival proves a beautiful, compelling piece of art, in both content and form. Tan (The Lost Thing, 2004) has previously produced a small body of off-kilter, frequently haunting stories of children trapped in surreal industrial landscapes. Here, he has distilled his themes and aesthetic into a silent, fantastical masterpiece. A lone immigrant leaves his family and journeys to a new world, both bizarre and awesome, finding struggle and dehumanising industry but also friendship and a new life. Tan infuses this simple, universal narrative with vibrant, resonating life through confident mastery of sequential art forms and conventions. Strong visual metaphors convey personal longing, political suppression, and totalitarian control; imaginative use of panel size and shape powerfully depicts sensations and ideas as diverse as interminable waiting,… Read More

New Holland, Sydney, 2009. Edition Unstated. Softcover. Good Condition. Imagine a life without television, music or freedom; imagine every minute of your spare time being spent attending church; imagine growing up believing swimming pools, cinemas and dancing were evil. For members of the Exclusive Brethren, a strict religious sect, constraints such as these are normal. No member is allowed to eat in the same room as a 'worldly' person, they are forbidden from owning a pet and they are restricted from socialising with anyone outside of the Exclusive Brethren. Most members are so isolated within the sect that they can't even imagine a life on the outside. But not all members can live such a controlled existence. Once David Tchappat had a taste of the real world as a teenager, there was no going back despite the fact he knew he would be cruelly ostracised from his family, friends and the only life he had known.

University Of Michigan, United States, 2009. Later Edition. Softcover. Good Condition. Politicians have long claimed that Western Civilization is the epitome of democratic values and international stability. Yet it is less than clear who is - or is not - part of the West. Germany, for example, was Western Europe's sworn enemy for much of the early twentieth century, but emerged as a staunch Western ally after World War II. Patrick Jackson's dense, penetrating political geneaology explains how the Marshall Plan re-invented the West to include a reconstructed Germany - a move critical to the development of the postwar world order. "Civilizing the Enemy" skillfully dissects our concepts of the West and Western Civilization, explaining how they were shaped and given weight in modern international relations, and demonstrating the puzzling persistence of these concepts in the face of contradictory realities. It will stand as a powerful tonic to simplistic notions of a clash of… Read More

Blackwell, United States, 2002. Later Edition. Softcover. Good Condition. Racist Culture offers an anti-essentialist and non-reductionist account of racialized discourse and racist expression. Goldberg demonstrates that racial thinking is a function of the transforming categories and conceptions of social subjectivity throughout modernity. He shows that rascisms are often not aberrant or irrational but consistent with prevailing social conceptions, particularly of the reasonable and the normal. He shows too how this process is being extended and renewed by categories dominant in present day social sciences: "the West": "the underclass": and "the primitive". This normalization of racism reflected in the West mirrors South Africa an its use and conception of space. Goldberg concludes with an extended argument for a pragmatic, antiracist practice.
