David James insists that popular resistance to domination by the culture industry must intervene at the point of production rather than consumption. In its most resolute instances, from the poetry of William Blake to the British Miners' Campaign Tape Project, alternative culture has fused with radical politics. Authoritatively mapping the terrain of cultural resistance under capitalism, James examines the material contradictions and the utopian potentials articulated in John Berger's fiction, Dada, rock music, the films of Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas, and the poetry of punk.

Like David James' earlier collection of essays, Power Misses: Essays Across (Un)Popular Culture (1996), the present volume, Power Misses II: Cinema, Asian and Modern is concerned with popular cultural activity that propose alternatives and opposition to capitalist media. Now with a wider frame of reference, it moves globally from west to east, beginning with films made during the Korean Democracy Movement, and then turning to socialist realism in China and Taiwan, and to Asian American film and poetry in Los Angeles. Several other avant-garde film movements in L.A. created communities resistant to the culture industries centered there, as did elements in the classic New York avant-garde, here instanced in the work of Ken Jacobs and Andy Warhol. The final chapter concerns little-known films about communal agriculture in the Nottinghamshire village of Laxton, the only one where the medieval open-field system never suffered enclosure. This survival of the commons anticipated resistance to the extreme and catastrophic forms of privatization, monetization, and theft of the public commonweal in the advanced form of capitalism we know as neoliberalism.

Miss Power's Great Adventure Book 1 When Carole Power agreed to give up her job as a teacher in a large Comprehensive School, in order to work in a bar in Southern Spain, little did she realise what she was letting herself in for. It isn't long before she dumps, Lyle, her two-timing boyfriend, gives in her notice at the bar run by his hen-pecked brother, Ben, and dippy sister in-law, Angi, and finds herself in desperate need of a job. When, Guillermo, a mysterious Spanish neighbour gets himself in a spot of bother, Carole, and new friend, Sarah-Jane, rush to the rescue: this is only the beginning of Carole's great Spanish adventure! Book 2 Has Carole found the man of her dreams? Will Guillermo be able to resist the scheming ways of a neighbour? Life on the Spanish Costa is good – well, that is until the arrival of Perky Perkins and his scatterbrain Project Manager, Angi Bailey. New residents for Apartamentos Paraiso - Ludo, a Belgian man who breeds pedigree Spitz dogs, and Magda, a soon to be divorced lady from the English Midlands, who is keen to re-invent herself. Two young Russian visitors disturb the tranquillity of Andreu and Luis, who live in the penthouse. Only after Babushka Ellena confides in another Paraiso resident, does peace resume - well, sort of! Drug dealing in a local bar, murder in a beauty spot, unexpected birth, death, and marriage combined with a most unusual inheritance, once again, bring romantic chaos to the Costa.
