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 Unconsciousis 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.

Connecting the frontlines of history with the urgent struggles of today, Arlene Eisen’s memoir/social history charts a personal and collective radical journey of the 1960s through the early 1980s.
In The Worldwide Family of Militant Women is a riveting account of these turbulent decades—from the mountains of Peru and the jungles of Vietnam to the revolutionary projects of Cuba, China, the USSR, and back to struggles inside the US.
Eisen demonstrates how she, and thousands of other women, had the opportunity to learn in a time of historic upheaval when revolutionary movements were on the rise on every continent. They joined those struggles both as rank and file and as leaders, in their own organizations and in national organizations; for their own survival and liberation as well as for the liberation of their nations.
As the US once again wages genocidal war against poorer nations, Eisen’s hard‑won lessons resonate loudly. Her story is a call to action for a new generation, outraged by imperial impunity and searching for a path of meaningful resistance. For anyone compelled to challenge the same intolerable war machine, this book offers indispensable wisdom, profound hope, and the proof that we do not fight alone.
Join the worldwide family of militant women!

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.
