Knowledge, What Is It Good For? Italian/American Leadership in the Twenty-First Century
by Anthony Julian Tamburri
 Anthony Julian Tamburri’s Knowledge, What Is It Good For? provides a detailed and systematic examination of Italian/American leadership today, whether that leadership arose through consensus or self-appointment. The various chapters describe the key issues at hand, which overall reflect a lack of knowledge about the history of Italians and their descendants in the United States. Through the critique of these issues, Tamburri emphasizes the need for solutions to remedy these gaps. This book is a follow-up to Tamburri’s A Politics of [Self‑]Omission: The Italian/American Challenge in a Post-George Floyd Age (2022), which offered a first look at influential individuals and leaders of non-scholarly Italian/American organizations.

Screens of Power
Ideology, Domination, and Resistance in Informational Society
 by Timothy W. Luke
With a Foreword by Ronald J. Deibert
This new edition of Screens of Power: Ideology, Domination, and Resistance in Informational Society, first published in 1989, reintroduces the innovative critique of informational culture, politics, and society outlined by Timothy W. Luke in Telos and other publications during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Much has changed, but far more has stayed the same, making this new edition useful for many readers, as digital images ground personal identity, informatics is geopolitics, grand history endlessly reruns as televisually formatted ritual, electronic electioneering never ends, tele-traditional cultures spin up the spirit of tele-ethnicity in new social movements, and digital divides continue crashing against cybernetic exchange.

On now countless screens of power, which are embedded in billions of smartphones, taxi seats, elevator panels, automobile dashboards, refrigerator doors, airport walls, work cubicles, skyscraper displays, exercise machines, and home video centers, a mix of disinformative mystifications exploits with vivid images of violence the unprecedented inequalities and inequities expressed in America’s bitter racial, gender, ethnic, and class conflicts. Their impact is sparking widespread popular resistance because many citizens feel oligarchy and demagoguery in both political parties are eclipsing democracy and opportunity.
