'Extraordinary ... makes sense of the ongoing racial reconstructionist moment' - Dylan Rodríguez, author of White ReconstructionIn the words of Robin D.G. Kelley, 'anti-wokeness is the perfect example of the functioning of the racial regime.' Taking the reader beyond the distracting framings of culture wars and moral panics, Alana Lentin shows how the attacks on Black, Indigenous and anticolonial thought and praxis reveal the processes through which racial colonial rule is ideologically resecured.The often chaotic and contradictory restitching of the racial regime is traced through the attacks on Critical Race Theory; the 'whitelash' against the teaching of histories of slavery and colonialism; the counterinsurgent capture and institutionalisation of antiracism, Indigeneity and decoloniality in the interests of Zionism, settler colonialism, and imperialism; and the ways that the state mandated 'war on antisemitism' reforms white supremacism in a time of genocide. While the racial regime undergoes constant recalibration, its inherent instability is the consequence of continual resistance from below. Maintaining and deepening that resistance is vital at a time of rapidly mounting fascism.

Learn how to capture the awesome power of momentum!Despite overwhelming belief among leaders in sports, business, politics, and the military that momentum is a real, non-random occurrence and that a decisive edge can be gained through it, there has been no comprehensive effort to elucidate the shared aspects of momentum, or to bring to light what can be done to manipulate its causes and effects. In other words: while most believe that momentum is real – nobody has articulated how teams can recognize the initial “spark” of momentum, nurture it, and ultimately shape its course.Now, in this groundbreaking new book, bestselling author Don Yaeger and leadership expert Bernie Banks reveal the forces behind turning a moment into momentum.  This book is an exploration of lessons learned from highly accomplished leaders on the topic of momentum in four sectors: sports, business, politics, and military. There are more than 250 leader interviews included, more than 2,000 leaders who have been surveyed on the topic and that primary research is bolstered by the results of numerous academic and scientific papers. From the six years spent gathering data, they have created a working model that can help the reader build momentum in their organization.
