 BIRTH MATTERS
A Midwife’s Manifesta
Ina May Gaskin
Foreword by Ani DiFranco
In Birth Matters, America’s leading midwife, Ina May Gaskin, reminds us
that the ways in which women experience birth have implications for us all.
Renewing confidence in a woman’s natural ability to birth provides trans-
formative possibilities for individual families, and for society at large.
A woman who gives birth in the US today is more likely to die in child-
birth than her mother was. With one in three babies born via cesarean, the
US ranks behind thirty-three other nations in neonatal mortality rates, and
forty other nations in maternal mortality rates. Confidence in women’s
bodies and women’s choices has been lost. Known around the world for
her birthing practice’s exemplary low rates of intervention, morbidity, and
mortality, Ina May Gaskin has gained an international reputation in ob-
stetrics for demonstrating the magic key to safe birth: respect for the nat-
ural process. Birth Matters is a spirited manifesta showing us how to trust
women, value birth, nurture families, and reconcile modern life with a
process as old as our species.

“EVERYONE should read this book . . . a cogent analysis of why birth is
relevant to our culture and our sustainability as a people on this planet.
Ina May has outdone herself!”
—Elizabeth Davis, author of Orgasmic Birth
Called “the midwife of modern midwifery” by Salon, INA MAY GASKIN has
practiced for nearly forty years at the internationally lauded Farm Midwifery
Center. She is the only midwife for whom an obstetric maneuver has been named

 THE SWEETEST THING
A Boxer’s Memoir
Mischa Merz
Australian national women’s champion Mischa Merz had reached the age
of forty-five and was about to give up boxing altogether when she decided
to give it one last go in the USA. In less than two years of training and
fighting she found herself the American master’s champion. This book is
the story of that improbable late run, success when she least expected it
and most wanted it. A journalist as well as a boxer, Merz brings her read-
ers into the gym and the arena—starting with Gleason’s in New York, then
other boxing meccas in Florida, California, and across America—to witness
firsthand the surprising, frustrating, irresistible world of women’s boxing.
We meet many of the top competitors (among them Merz’s idol, Lucia
Rijker, of Million Dollar Baby fame), each of whom carries within her the
requisite combination of personality and fight. These women are nothing
if not persistent, often sassy, and breathtakingly strong.
Here are the American women and girls who entered a traditionally male
domain and turned it into a place for athletes of both genders. In recogni-
tion of this change, women’s boxing will be included in the Olympics for the
first time at the London 2012 Games. Mischa tests her own limits and goes
from being a neophyte and outsider to a true insider, trusted by the other
boxers she trains with and fights against. She wins fight after fight, and learns
things she never knew before, about herself and this sport:
I have loathed it and adored it. It has invaded my dreams,
and turned my stomach. I have resolved to leave it, only to
see my passion for it intensify. Boxing is my man. Even my
husband will tell you so.

—Bert Randolph Sugar, author of The Ultimate Book of Boxing Lists and editor of Boxing Illustrated,
The Ring, and Bert Sugar’s Fight Game
“A beautiful journal-like book [that] documents the ins and outs of
female boxing behind the scenes.”
—Lucia Rijker, two-time super lightweight world boxing champion
“Puts the reader in the ring, in the gym, deep into the hopes, dreams and aspira-
tions of what it takes to live up to the label, ‘boxer.’ But best of all it’s a book that
will be meaningful to the boxing commuity while, at the same time, serving as a
clear-eyed, definitive look for those unfamiliar with an often misunderstood sport.”
—Bernie McCoy, Women’s Boxing Archive Network
MISCHA MERZ is a journalist and author of fiction and creative nonfiction.
She began training as an amateur boxer in 1995 and is the 2001 Australian
Amateur Boxing League women’s welterweight champion. Her book Bruising,
about her experiences as a boxer, was published to critical acclaim by Picador
Australia in 2000 and was shortlisted for the Dobbie Award. Her journalism
has appeared in numerous publications, including the Age, the Sunday Age, and

 ANTI-CAPITALISM
Ezequiel Adamovsky
Illustrated by the United Illustrators
Translated by Marie Trigona

Any young person who enters the world of progressive politics has had this
experience. You meet an arch-conservative and you decide to convince him

In Anti-Capitalism, activist and scholar Ezequiel Adamovsky gives the
lie to the assertion, telling the story of the long-standing effort to build a
better world, one without an abusive system at its heart. Backed up by ar-
resting, lucid images from the radical artist group United Illustrators,
Adamovsky details the struggle against rising corporate power, as that strug-
gle unfolds in the halls of academia, in the pages of radical newspapers,
and in the jungles and the streets. From Marx through the Battle of Seat-
tle and beyond, Adamovsky traces the beliefs and politics of the major fig-
ures in the anti-capitalist tradition and explores modern experiments in
building different ways of living, in the process providing an indispensible
primer for anyone interested in finding alternatives to the so-called “best
system we have”—and for anyone interested in joining the fight.

EZEQUIEL ADAMOVSKY is a writer and activist from Buenos Aires,

Argentina. He has published articles for Z Magazine, OpenDemocracy.org, and
many other activist and progressive outlets. He currently teaches Russian His-
tory at the University of Buenos Aires.

The UNITED ILLUSTRATORS are visual artists who participated in the Taller

of political and social movements during the popular rebellion of December 2001.

 HAMAS
From Resistance to Government

Paola Caridi
Translated by Andrea Teti

The Palestinian elections of 2006 changed modern Middle East history—

as well as changing the perception of the Israel/Palestine conflict around the
world. How, Americans asked, could a secular people elect a radical Islamist
group, one that openly advocated violence against the Israeli government
and its people, to lead them? How could ordinary Palestinian people sup-

nalism about the elections, and choosing instead to take a clear-eyed look
at the controversial government of Palestine, a look informed by years of
on-the-ground research and interviews from the residents of Gaza them-
selves. Covering the history of the region from its “golden age” as a port city
in the fifth century .. through the formal birth of Hamas as a resistance
movement after the first Intifada, and continuing past Operation Cast Lead
into the present day, Caridi’s Hamas traces, with nuance and clarity, the
rise, growth, and evolution of Hamas into one of the key players in the
search for a way through the central crisis of the Middle East today. In so
doing, she performs, with intelligence, dexterity, and heart, the central
function of history: to look at a people’s actions through that people’s eyes,
to explain what to many Americans seems inexplicable—to explain the rise
of Hamas.

PAOLA CARIDI has lived in the Middle East and Jerusalem since 2001. She
has worked with Lettera22, L’Espresso, Sole 24 Ore, Il Riformista, Famiglia
Cristiana, and Diaro della Settimana. Hamas: From Resistance to Government,
her first book, was published in Italy in 2009 and in Palestine in March 2010.

satiric bite, William Burroughs’s dark historical reimagining, and a lush lit-
erary beauty all his own, Howard unfolds a story of expatriate angst, the
dark side of globalization, and middle-class nightmares, announcing him-
self as one of the most inventive and ambitious of the new generation of
American novelists.
“With Tea of Ulaanbataar, Christopher Howard takes to a rarely seen
corner of the world, and then takes us further, into a spooky, trippy,
gritty realm that is entirely his own.”
—Eli Horowitz, McSweeney’s

“Like Robert Bingham’s Lightning on the Sun, Tea of Ulaanbaatar is a merciless

dissection of lost young American volunteers drifting through a violent and absurd
third-world capital, helping no one, especially themselves. Christopher Howard’s
sharp, spare voice delivers a nightmarish geo-noir.”
—Stewart O’Nan, author of Last Night at the Lobster and Songs for the Missing

CHRISTOPHER R. HOWARD grew up in Illinois and spent a few months of

an aborted Peace Corps sojourn in Mongolia in the late 1990s. His short story,
“How to Make Millions in the Oil Market,” published in McSweeney’s, was
nominated for the 2008 National Magazine Award in Fiction. Along with Jodi
Picoult, he was one of two authors selected to provide a short story for the
launch of Amazon Kindle Singles in January 2011.

 “THERE ARE THINGS I WANT
YOU TO KNOW” ABOUT
STIEG LARSSON AND ME
Eva Gabrielsson with Marie-Françoise Colombani
Translated by Linda Coverdale
There is only one person who can tell Stieg Larsson’s story other than him-
self, and that is his lifelong companion Eva Gabrielsson. “There Are Things I
Want You to Know” about Stieg Larsson and Me is her book. Its title is taken
from a poignant letter that Larsson wrote to Gabrielsson on the eve of a dan-
gerous trip to Africa, where he thought he might be killed.
Here she tells of their thirty-year love story, of Stieg’s life-long struggle
to expose Sweden’s right-wing extremists, of his struggle to keep the mag-
azine he founded, Expo, alive, his difficult relationships with his immediate
family, and the joy and relief he discovered writing the Millennium Trilogy.
Above all, this is the story of a shared life, and we come to understand,
reading “There Are Things I Want You to Know,” that if there was another
secret besides Larsson’s own imagination and convictions, it was his
absolute love for his companion and her nurturing of their privacy and
shared passions.
“There Are Things I Want You to Know” is told as a series of short
vignettes, with titles ranging from “Coffee” and “Stieg’s Journalistic
Credo,” to “Goodbyes” and “The Fourth Volume.” Gabrielsson speaks
with rare candor and dignity, inspired only by the truth as she knows it.
The book is thus trim and to the point, poignant in its account of two soul

mates and the life they shared, and deeply insightful into the man everyone wants to know
better yet about whom so little is known.
Writing in a terse, literary style that is reminiscent of the work of Joan Didion or Doris
Lessing, Gabrielsson says, “I would have preferred to have never written this book. It
speaks of Stieg, of our life together, and of my life after his death.” It was written because

 HOWARD ZINN ON RACE
Howard Zinn
Introduction by Cornel West
Howard Zinn on Race is Zinn’s choice of the shorter writings and speeches
that best reflect his views on America’s most taboo topic. As chairman of
the history department at all black women’s Spelman College, Zinn was an
outspoken supporter of student activists in the nascent civil rights move-
ment. In “The Southern Mystique,” he tells of how he was asked to leave
Spelman in 1963 after teaching there for seven years.
“Behind every one of the national government’s moves toward racial
equality,” writes Zinn in one 1965 essay, “lies the sweat and effort of boy-
cotts, picketing, beatings, sit-ins, and mass demonstrations.” He firmly
believed that bringing people of different races and nationalities together
would create a more compassionate world, where equality is a given and
not merely a dream. These writings, which span decades, express Zinn’s
steadfast belief that the people have the power to change the status quo, if
they only work together and embrace the nearly forgotten American tra-
dition of civil disobedience and revolution.
In clear, compassionate, and present prose, Zinn gives us his thoughts
on the Abolitionists, the march from Selma to Montgomery, John F.
Kennedy, picketing, sit-ins, and, finally, the message he wanted to send to
New York University students about race in a speech he delivered during
the last week of his life.

“What can I say that will in any way convey the love, respect, and admiration I feel
for this unassuming hero who was my teacher and mentor, this radical historian and
people-loving ‘trouble-maker,’ this man who stood with us and suffered with us?
Howard Zinn was the best teacher I ever had, and the funniest.”
—Alice Walker
“Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden
prose of academic history, and his text is studded with telling quotations from
labor leaders, war resisters, and fugitive slaves.”
—Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review
“He’s changed the conscience of America in a highly constructive way. I
really can’t think of anyone I can compare him to in this respect.”
—Noam Chomsky
HOWARD ZINN, America’s most popular historian, has introduced four gen-
erations of Americans to his views on democracy, civil disobedience, history,
and war. Zinn’s books have sold over two million copies and, in 2009, a film
based on two of his books, The People Speak, aired on national television, bring-
ing his vision to millions more. Zinn died at 87 in 2010, but his books, ideas,
and activism live on.

 SCORCHED EARTH
Legacies of Chemical Warfare in Vietnam
Fred A. Wilcox
Introduction by Noam Chomsky
Scorched Earth: Legacies of Chemical Warfare in Vietnam is the first book to
chronicle the effects of chemical warfare on the Vietnamese people and
their environment, where, even today, more than 3 million people—in-
cluding 500,000 children—are sick and dying from birth defects, cancer,
and other illnesses that can be directly traced to Agent Orange/dioxin ex-
posure.
Weaving first-person accounts with original research, Vietnam War
scholar Fred A. Wilcox examines long-term consequences for future gen-
erations, laying bare the ongoing monumental tragedy in Vietnam, and
calls for the United States government to finally admit its role in chemical
warfare in Vietnam. Wilcox also warns readers that unless we stop poison-
ing our air, food, and water supplies, the cancer epidemic in the United
States and other countries will only worsen, and he urgently demands the
chemical manufacturers of Agent Orange to compensate the victims of
their greed and to stop using the Earth’s rivers, lakes, and oceans as toxic
waste dumps.
On August 10, 1961, the United States military began experimenting
with toxic herbicides in Vietnam. By 1965, the Air Force was saturating
long swaths of the country with Agent Orange and other deadly chemicals.
Scorched Earth will be released on August 10, 2011, to coincide with the
day that the Vietnamese people have chosen to honor and to mourn sev-
eral million victims of chemical warfare.

“I consider Scorched Earth to be the Silent Spring of chemical warfare in
Vietnam, a powerful clarion call [that brings together] scientific evidence,
passionate argument, Vietnamese interviews and documentation, review of the
class action suits . . . and new and little known evidence gathered by
Vietnamese scholars . . . to form one coherent argument.”
—Dr. John Marciano, Vietnam scholar, and professor emeritus, State University of New York–Cortland
“A fascinating and compelling book on the effects on the Vietnamese people of the
Agent Orange defoliation campaign during the Vietnam War, a personal, impas-
sioned account on the part of the victims, a fascinating and at times shocking tale
of an important and unresolved episode in American history.”
—Dr. Michael Viola, director, Medicine for Peace, and retired chair, oncology department,
State University of New York–Stonybrook

 WAITING FOR AN ARMY TO DIE
The Tragedy of Agent Orange, Second Edition

Fred A. Wilcox

“I died in Vietnam, but I didn’t even know it,” said a young Vietnam vet
on the Today Show one morning in 1978, shocking viewers across the
country. Waiting for an Army to Die: The Tragedy of Agent Orange—the first
book ever written on the effects of Agent Orange—tells this young vet’s
story and that of hundreds of thousands of other former American ser-
vicemen. During the war, the US sprayed an estimated 12 million gallons
