The last Yugoslav generation
This promising addition to the growing literature on the history of late socialism charts the development of youth culture and politics in socialist Yugoslavia, focusing on the 1980s. Rather than examining the 1980s as a mere prelude to the violent collapse of the country in the 1990s, the book recovers the multiplicity of political visions and cultural developments that evolved at the time and that have been largely forgotten in subsequent discussion. The youth of this generation, the author convincingly argues, sought to rearticulate the Yugoslav socialist framework in order to reinvigorate it and 'democratise' it, rather than destroy it altogether.

Why you should be a socialist
\"The author \"give[s] readers a primer on twenty-first century socialism: what it is, what it isn't, and why everyone should want to be a part of this exciting new chapter of American politics. From the heyday of Occupy Wall Street through Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign and beyond, young progressives have been increasingly drawn to socialist ideas. However, the movement's goals need to be defined more sharply before it can effect real change on a national scale. Likewise, liberals and conservatives will benefit from a deeper understanding of the true nature of this ideology, whether they agree with it or not\"-- Provided by publisher.

Deconstructing Hypertruth: Baudrillard’s Semiotic Analysis
Truth in a hyperreal context and the veracity of our mediated relationships are the concerns of this research. The boundary between the digital and the physical becomes blurrier when considering Baudrillard’s concept of hyperreality. This study employs Baudrillard’s semiotics framework as a theoretical lens to examine the intersection of consumer culture and socialism. The framework shows how various cultures, languages, and pictures may convey meaning in diverse ways, which poses an extent of challenge to the humanist idea of an objective truth. Socialist ideology, which advocates for public ownership, is ineffective when the signifier, or visual representation, takes precedence over the signified, or the underlying reality, as observed in specific ads, company logos, and celebrities. One risk with hyperreality ads is that viewers may become fixated on the models and ignore the items itself. The situation gets even more confusing, and consumer culture is once again undermined. Typically, brands use media to create a hyperrealistic image of their products, but the media provides consumers with a way to understand everything without experiencing it. As a result of seeing nothing more than the surface level of reality, people have become paralyzed by the media’s portrayal of a world full of reproducing simulations and models. The effects of hyperreality on truth and the potential of simulations to mask socialism’s flaws are also questioned in this research.

Racial Science in Hitler's New Europe, 1938-1945
InRacial Science in Hitler's New Europe, 1938-1945, international scholars examine the theories of race that informed the legal, political, and social policies aimed against ethnic minorities in Nazi-dominated Europe. The essays explicate how racial science, preexisting racist sentiments, and pseudoscientific theories of race that were preeminent in interwar Europe ultimately facilitated Nazi racial designs for a \"New Europe.\"
The volume examines racial theories in a number of European nation-states in order to understand racial thinking at large, the origins of the Holocaust, and the history of ethnic discrimination in each of those countries. The essays, by uncovering neglected layers of complexity, diversity, and nuance, demonstrate how local discourse on race paralleled Nazi racial theory but had unique nationalist intellectual traditions of racial thought.
Written by rising scholars who are new to English-language audiences, this work examines the scientific foundations that central, eastern, northern, and southern European countries laid for ethnic discrimination, the attempted annihilation of Jews, and the elimination of other so-called inferior peoples.
