Here is a story about not fitting in because you are wearing something ludicrous. The Man is booed and neglected because he makes an unusual choice in dress. But watch as perhaps he finds a way to both popularize himself and stay true to his values! Jaunty and colourful, "The Man Who Accidentally..." is an endearing parable on the vitality of nonconformity and the enduring madness of crowds.

The book "Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus" (2003) is a bestselling second-person narrative in which readers are asked (instructed) to keep a small bird from his chosen pastime of driving a bus. The reader is not given a choice as to whether to carry out this mandate, nor provided with the reasoning behind it. One is simply taken step-by-step through the process of forbidding the pigeon, and at each juncture expected to internalize the logic of her commanders. The book has become a successful ideological tool in the manufacture of obedience. Disguised beneath upbeat imagery and seemingly benign intent, the book’s ultimate function is to turn children dim-witted and servile, perfect prey for the despots and demagogues of their generation. Yet things need not be this way. Don’t Let the Pigeon Question the Rules is a parodic work, designed to expose the original Pigeon books for what they are: thinly veiled indoctrination in the authoritarian mindset. Applying the principle of civil disobedience, as practiced by Thoreau, Dr. King, and Gandhi, Don’t Let The Pigeon Question The Rules is a humane alternative to the bleak proceduralist vision of Mo Willems’s bestselling totalitarian classics. It presents a world in which freedom and reason can peaceably coexist.

Bill Clinton has always had a congenial relationship with African Americans, even being labeled "the first black president." Yet Clinton's presidency inflicted devastating harm on many black communities, from which they have yet to recover. Was Clinton a friend to black America? Or did his progressive rhetoric mask a ruthless opportunism? Was Clinton's attitude toward his black supporters "politically pragmatic" or "callously indifferent"? Superpredator is an in-depth look at Bill Clinton's treatment of black lives from Little Rock to Rwanda. Forcefully argued and meticulously sourced, Superpredator will change our view of America's 42nd president. Working with the Current Affairs research team, Nathan J. Robinson has produced a powerful indictment of Clinton's record on race.

A collection of the best essays from Current Affairs magazine. “Current Affairs is an important breath of fresh air. It stands out as by far the most intellectually sophisticated, thought-provoking, and politically astute among organs of left commentary directed toward a popular audience that have appeared in recent decades.” — Adolph Reed, Jr., University of Pennsylvania “Current Affairs is a joke.

The Current Affairs Mindset: Essays on People, Politics, and Culture

This is the ultimate book for understanding what Donald Trump’s election means for the United States and the world. Much more than just a book about Trump himself, it is about the forces that led to his existence, and it is a guide for how to create a Trumpless world. Anatomy of a Monstrosity looks closely at why progressives failed to stop his election, and develops a series of proposals for how ordinary people can fight back against Trumpism and win. Carefully sourced, comprehensive, witty, and biting, Trump: Anatomy of a Monstrosity is the single book everyone opposed to Trump should read.
