    Content: "Since 1949, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has maintained an unrivaled grip over the country. Despite economic calamity, widespread social upheaval, and even violence against its own people, the party has overseen the fastest economic growth in history and only strengthened its hold on power. How has it achieved this, and how exactly does the party and the government function? What is political life like for the people of China, and how has this changed over the decades of the party's rule? Is democracy on the horizon? These are some of the questions that animate Bruce Dickson's exploration of Chinese politics today. At the core of the party's practices is a dual approach--repression when faced with existential, political threats, and responsiveness when faced with more localized economic or social unrest. Yet while the regime is responsive to a degree often unacknowledged by international observers, ultimately it is not accountable to the public. The opportunity for the public to chose leaders is limited to very local levels, and it is the party itself that chooses when to compromise and when to repress. Dickson uses this lens to illuminate a number of key questions: How are leaders chosen and how are policies made? When is protest and civic engagement allowed, and when is it suppressed? Acknowledging that the inner workings of the party remain shrouded in secrecy, Dickson draws from the full landscape of sources available to lay out what we know and what the future may hold as Xi's rule extends and takes an increasingly repressive approach to governing"--

    Content: Drawing on Indigenous peoples' struggles against settler colonialism, Theft Is Property! reconstructs the concept of dispossession as a means of explaining how shifting configurations of law, property, race, and rights have functioned as modes of governance, both historically and in the present. Through close analysis of arguments by Indigenous scholars and activists from the nineteenth century to the present, Robert Nichols argues that dispossession has come to name a unique recursive process whereby systematic theft is the mechanism by which property relations are generated. In so doing, Nichols also brings long-standing debates in anarchist, Black radical, feminist, Marxist, and postcolonial thought into direct conversation with the frequently overlooked intellectual contributions of Indigenous peoples.

    Content: This article employs the ‘second chapter’ of the history of daily life (Alltagsgeschichte) to examine grass-roots resistance to the communist system in the former East German district of Gransee. It has two primary goals. First, it posits a bridge between the two solitudes of ‘resistance’ history and ‘daily life’ history. Typically, historians of daily life have not examined resistance in East Germany, nor have historians of resistance used the methodology of the history of everyday life to investigate their subject. ‘Dictatorship’ and ‘daily life’ are not, however, mutually exclusive terms. Second, the article centres ‘place’ as an organizational concept for both resistance and daily life. What was idiosyncratic to a locality informed the limits and potential of resistance. Place also becomes a useful concept for distinguishing between resistance and opposition. Colonizing a public space in order to transmit one’s oppositional views immediately conveys an act into the resistance realm. This article therefore explores the key socio-economic factors in District Gransee from which resistance could arise and the many ways that East Germans used the spaces of everyday life, such as schools, train stations and pubs, to communicate their opposition to the East German system.
