Reactionary Democracy: How Racism and the Populist Far Right Became Mainstream
by Aurelien Mondon Aaron WinterDemocracy must be anti-racist. Any less is cowardly. Any less is reactionary.Democracy is not necessarily progressive, and will only be if we make it so. What Mondon and Winter call 'reactionary democracy' is the use of the concept of democracy and its associated understanding of the power to the people (demos cratos) for reactionary ends. The resurgence of racism, populism and the far right is not the result of popular demands as we are often told. It is rather the logical conclusion of the more or less conscious manipulation by the elite of the concept of 'the people' and the working class to push reactionary ideas. These narratives place racism as a popular demand, rather than as something encouraged and perpetuated by elites, thus exonerating those with the means to influence and control public discourse through the media in particular. This in turn has legitimised the far right, strengthened its hand and compounded inequalities.These actions diverts us away from real concerns and radical alternatives to the current system. Through a careful and thorough deconstruction of the hegemonic discourse currently preventing us from thinking beyond the liberal vs populist dichotomy, this book develops a better understanding of the systemic forces underpinning our current model and its exploitative and discriminatory basis. The book shows us that the far right would not have been able to achieve such success, either electorally or ideologically, were it not for the help of elite actors (the media, politicians and academics). While the far right is a real threat and should not be left off the hook, the authors argue that we need to shift the responsibility of the situation towards those who too often claim to be objective, and even powerless, bystanders despite their powerful standpoint and clear capacity to influence the agenda, public discourse, and narratives, particularly when they platform and legitimise racist and far right ideas and actors.
Reactive Android Programming
by Tadas SubonisMake the most of asynchronous android programming About This Book • Install and set up RxJava for Android development • Implement the Reactive paradigm for Android programming using RxJava • Create cutting edge real world Android apps with Reactive programming. Who This Book Is For Are you an android developer trying to figure out how to use reactive paradigm for your programming needs? If yes then this is the book for you. No previous knowledge of RxJava is required. What You Will Learn • Set up an environment for asynchronous that is reactive Android programming • Write custom observables and higher level abstractions • Orchestrating multiple calls using Reactive programming principles • Fetch remote financial data using RxJava • Integrate and process Twitter streams gracefully • Utilize Reactive programming to develop interactive and responsive Android apps • Create your own application to follow financial stock updates in real-time based on selected companies' symbols • Integrate updates from the Twitter for those companies. In Detail Writing code on Android is hard. Writing a high quality code that involves concurrent and parallel tasks is even harder. Ensuring that this code will run without unforeseen race conditions is an the order of magnitude harder. RxJava is the tool that can help write code for such tasks. In this book a novice developer will be introduced to a wide variety of tools that RxJava provides to enable them to produce robust and high-quality code for their asynchronous tasks by building a relatively simple(and high quality) application using advanced RxJava techniques to produce a high quality product. Part 1 of the book will lead the developer through RxJava's initial setup in Android environment. In Part 2, the reader will learn RxJava 2.0 step-by-step by starting off with stock data processing and display.The developer will learn to choose appropriate Schedulers and to use Retrofit library for remote requests.In Part 3, the reader will also learn advanced topics such as adding integration to Twitter to process its streaming data by combining it with stock data. Style and approach This book is a step by step practical guide which will essentially teach you to set up, implement, and debug Reactive Android Code with ease.

Reactive Java Programming
by Andrea MaglieLearn reactive programming using Java and its functional aspects, sometimes called RxJava. This book shows you how to solve "callback hell" with RxJava and shows you how to write thread-safe code without hanging onto state variables which comes in handy for cloud computing software-as-a-service issues, especially when dealing with big data processes through streaming. Reactive Java Programming includes unique coverage of reactive Android programming, growing more and more popular in mobile development with the Cloud. After reading this guide to reactive programming, you'll be able to apply it to your own big data cloud applications that use Java. What You'll LearnUse and map observables Filter and combine eventsEmploy subjects, schedulers, and backpressure Handle reactive patternsTest your RxJava codeWrite your own operatorsCarry out reactive Android programmingWho This Book Is ForExperienced Java programmers new to reactive programming and those who may have some experience with reactive programming new to Java.

Reactive Programming in Kotlin
by Rivu ChakrabortyLearn how to implement Reactive Programming paradigms with Kotlin, and apply them to web programming with Spring Framework 5.0 and in Android Application Development. About This Book • Learn how to solve blocking user experience with Reactive Programming and get deep insights into RxKotlin • Integrate Reactive Kotlin with Spring and build fantastic Android Apps with RxKotlin and RxAndroid • Build reactive architectures that reduce complexity throughout the development process and make your apps(web and Android) scalable Who This Book Is For This book is for Kotlin developers who would like to build fault-tolerant, scalable, and distributed systems. A basic knowledge of Kotlin is required, but no prior knowledge of reactive programming. What You Will Learn • Learn about reactive programming paradigms and how reactive programming can improve your existing projects • Gain in-depth knowledge in RxKotlin 2.0 and the ReactiveX Framework • Use RxKotlin with Android • Create your own custom operators in RxKotlin • Use Spring Framework 5.0 with Kotlin • Use the reactor-kotlin extension • Build Rest APIs with Spring,Hibernate, and RxKotlin • Use testSubscriber to test RxKotlin applications • Use backpressure management and Flowables In Detail In today's app-driven era, when programs are asynchronous, and responsiveness is so vital, reactive programming can help you write code that's more reliable, easier to scale, and better-performing. Reactive programming is revolutionary. With this practical book, Kotlin developers will first learn how to view problems in the reactive way, and then build programs that leverage the best features of this exciting new programming paradigm. You will begin with the general concepts of Reactive programming and then gradually move on to working with asynchronous data streams. You will dive into advanced techniques such as manipulating time in data-flow, customizing operators and provider and how to Use the concurrency model to control asynchronicity of code and process event handlers effectively. You will then be introduced to functional reactive programming and will learn to apply FRP in practical use cases in Kotlin.
