SUMMARY:The Marks Left on Her - Di Lebowitz in conversation with Minna Salami **POSTPONED**
DESCRIPTION:**Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has now been postponed and will be part of our autumn events programme. More information to follow soon** \n\n\n\nIn The Marks Left on Her\, Di Lebowitz explores her experiences growing up with mixed heritage in her Hong Kongese family and attempting to navigate a world in which she is misunderstood and mistreated. What began as a means to self-examine after the trauma of a sexual assault grew almost organically into a collection of scribbled-down memories that had been burrowed deep within. The book opens up many important questions about mixed heritage\, parental relationships\, and why the world calls for so many women to be forged by pain.  \n\n\n\nDi will be in conversation with Minna Salami\, internationally-acclaimed feminist author and blogger\, to discuss their books and the importance of intersectional perspectives in feminist spaces and movements\, including the Me Too movement in which Di was inspired to share her story.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDi Lebowitz was born and raised in Hong Kong but spent the majority of her adult life in the UK. She is of both Jewish and Hong Kongese descent. The Marks Left on Her is her debut novel.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMultiple award-winning blogger and founder of MsAfropolitan\, Minna Salami is an author\, feminist theorist and lecturer. She is the author of the internationally acclaimed book Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone\, a critical collection of essays exploring universal ideas with an Africa-centred\, decolonial and feminist perspective and translated into several languages. She is co-director of the feminist movement\, Activate\, and a Senior Research Associate at Perspectiva. She sits on the advisory board of the African Feminist Initiative at Pennsylvania State University and the editorial board of the Interdisciplinary Journal for the Study of the Sahel and the Emerge platform. \n\n\n\n\nBuy the book “The Marks Left on Her”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:The Revenge of the Real: Politics for a Post-Pandemic World - Benjamin Bratton in conversation with Nick Srnicek [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Even when separated\, we are still enmeshed. Can the world govern itself differently? \n\n\n\nCOVID-19 exposed the pre-existing conditions of the current global crisis. Many Western states failed to protect their populations\, while others were able to suppress the virus only with sweeping social restrictions. In contrast\, many Asian countries were able to make much more precise interventions. Everywhere\, lockdown transformed everyday life\, introducing an epidemiological view of society based on sensing\, modeling\, and filtering. What lessons are to be learned? \n\n\n\nThe Revenge of the Real envisions a new positive biopolitics that recognizes that governance is literally a matter of life and death. We are grappling with multiple interconnected dilemmas—climate change\, pandemics\, the tensions between the individual and society—all of which have to be addressed on a planetary scale.   \n\n\n\nBratton argues that instead of thinking of biotechnologies as something imposed on society\, we must see them as essential to a politics of infrastructure\, knowledge\, and direct intervention. In this way\, we can build a society based on a new rationality of inclusion\, care\, and prevention. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nBenjamin Bratton is Professor of Visual Arts the University of California\, San Diego. He is Program Director of The Terraforming think-tank at Strelka Institute of Media\, Architecture and Design in Moscow. He is the author of several books\, including The Stack\, which develops a comprehensive political philosophy of planetary-scale computation. See bratton.info. \n\n\n\nNick Srnicek is a Lecturer in Digital Economy at King’s College London. He is the author of Platform Capitalism (Polity\, 2016)\, Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work (Verso\, 2015 with Alex Williams). With Helen Hester\, he is currently writing After Work: The Fight for Free Time (Verso\, 2022). \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT\n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event. We will use the email address used to register for this event.

SUMMARY:Lost in Work: Escaping Capitalism\, with Amelia Horgan [online event]
DESCRIPTION:We are really pleased to have Amelia Horgan join us online to discuss work and capitalism. Lost in Work is part of the outstanding introductory series by radical publisher Pluto Press.  \n\n\n\n‘Work hard\, get paid.’ It’s simple. Self-evident. But it’s also a lie – at least for most of us. For people today\, the old assumptions are crumbling; hard work in school no longer guarantees a secure\, well-paying job in the future. Far from a gateway to riches and fulfillment\, ‘work’ means precarity\, anxiety and alienation. \n\n\n\nAmelia Horgan poses three big questions: what is work? How does it harm us?

SUMMARY:Ill Feelings: Stories of Unexplained Illness\, with Alice Hattrick in conversation with Abi Palmer [online event]
DESCRIPTION:A moving and defiant exploration of life with a medically unexplained illness.   \n\n\n\nIn 1995 Alice’s mother collapsed with pneumonia. She never fully recovered and was eventually diagnosed with ME\, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Then Alice got ill. Their symptoms mirrored their mother’s and appeared to have no physical cause; they received the same diagnosis a few years later.  \n\n\n\nIll Feelings blends memoir\, medical history\, biography and literary non-fiction to uncover both of their case histories\, and branches out into the records of ill health that women have written about in diaries and letters.  \n\n\n\nTheir cast of characters includes Virginia Woolf and Alice James\, the poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Emily Dickinson\, John Ruskin’s lost love Rose la Touche\, the artist Louise Bourgeois and the nurse Florence Nightingale.  \n\n\n\nSuffused with a generative\, transcendent rage\, Alice Hattrick’s genre-bending debut is a moving and defiant exploration of life with a medically unexplained illness. Alice will be joined in conversation with Abi Palmer\, author of Santatorium.  \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nAlice  Hattrick (c) Jacques Testard\n\n\n\nAlice Hattrick‘s criticism and interviews have appeared in publications such as frieze magazine\, ArtReview and The White Review. Alice’s work has most recently been included in Whitechapel Documents of Contemporary Art: HEALTH (ed. Bárbara Rodríguez Muñoz\, 2020) and Mine Searching Yours (Forma\, 2020). They are the co-producer of Access Docs for Artists\, a resource for disabled and/or chronically ill artists\, curators and writers\, made in collaboration with artists Leah Clements and Lizzy Rose. In 2016\, they were shortlisted for the Fitzcarraldo Essay Prize. Ill Feelings is their first book. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbi Palmer (c) Faith Aylward and Mia Maxwell\n\n\n\nAbi Palmer is an writer\, artist and filmmaker. Her work often uses multisensory interaction and multiple forms. Notable artworks Crip Casino – an interactive gambling arcade parodying the wellness industry and institutionalised spaces – has been exhibited at Tate Modern\, Somerset House and Wellcome Collection. Her debut book Sanatorium (Penned in the Margins\, 2020) is a fragmented memoir\, jumping between luxury thermal pool\, and blue inflatable bathtub. It was shortlisted for the Barbellion Prize. In 2020 she was awarded an Artangel ‘Thinking Time’ Grant to address the current pandemic. Her current work explores themes of access\, isolation and the urgency of climate change\, through attempting to capture\, distil and convey the entire outside world into small ritualistic performances and sculpture for her indoor cats.www.abipalmer.com \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT\n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event. We will use the email address used to register for this event.

SUMMARY:Putin's Russia: The Rise of a Dictator\, with Darryl Cunningham [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the online launch of acclaimed graphic novelist Darryl Cunningham’s biography of Vladimir Putin.  \n\n\n\nMaster manipulator or gangster? The malign thrust of Putin’s domestic and foreign policy is exposed in Cunningham’s latest page-turning biography including his early life\, political career\, the wars in Chechnya\, Crimea and the Ukraine\, the crackdown on human rights\, Brexit\, Trump—and the poisonings. \n\n\n\nCunningham shows how the West and its leaders have been culpable in aiding Putin’s rise – Obama being a particular example. By putting all these events into a timeline\, Cunningham aims to show that Putin is opportunistic rather than the master manipulator people make him out to be: ‘He’s essentially a gangster and not a particularly smart one. We need to demythologise Putin if we are to beat him.’ \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nDarryl Cunningham is the award-winning author of Psychiatric Tales\, Science Tales\, Supercrash (a New York Times bestseller)\, Graphic Science and Billionaires\, which won the Best Graphic Nonfiction category in the Broken Frontier Awards 2019. Darryl lives in Wakefield\, West Yorkshire. \n\n\n\nMore speakers tba \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT\n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event. We will use the email address used to register for this event.

SUMMARY:No Matter How Many Skies Have Fallen: Back to the Land in Wartime Britain\, with Ken Worpole [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Social historian Ken Worpole uncovers the lost story of Frating Hall Farm\, documenting the passionate religious and political ideals of this back-to-the-land community in wartime and postwar Britain. \n\n\n\nOn ‘Lady Day’\, March 1943 a group of Christian pacifists took possession of a vacant farm in Frating\, a hamlet on the Essex Tendring Peninsula. There they established a working community\, inspired by their association with The Adelphi journal\, where D.H.Lawrence\, John Middleton Murry\, Vera Brittain\, Iris Murdoch\, George Orwell and others shared ideas for the future with European religious radicals such as Nikolai Berdyaev\, Martin Buber and Simone Weil.  \n\n\n\nFrating Hall Farm provided a settlement and livelihood for individuals and families (as well as a temporary sanctuary for refugees and prisoners-of-war)\, and over time became a successful arable and livestock land-holding of more than 300 acres. \n\n\n\nWe are pleased to have Ken Worpole at virtual Housmans to discuss the lost story of Frating Hall Farm\, documented in his most recent publication\, No Matter How Many Skies Have Fallen\, through the reminiscences of those who grew up on the farm\, together with photographs\, letters and organisational records\, never before seen or published.   \n\n\n\nKen Worpole will be in conversation with Anne Johnson. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nKen Worpole is the author of books on architecture\, landscape and social history from a radical perspective. The Independent described him as ‘One of the shrewdest and sharpest observers of the English social landscape\,’ and the New Statesman wrote of his new book\, ‘Worpole is a literary original\, a social and architectural historian whose books combine the Orwellian ideal of common decency with understated erudition.’  \n\n\n\nLike Ken\, Anne Johnson grew up on Canvey Island and both were involved in community publishing in London in the 1970s. A trained English teacher\, Anne has run the Everyday Magic programme in primary schools since 2002\, as well as developing children’s programmes for the City of London Festival\, Imagine Children’s Literature Festival at the South Bank. She has co-written a book with fellow storyteller\, Sef Townsend: ‘London Folk Tales for Children published by The History Press and ‘London’s River Tales for Children’\, which will be out in January 2022. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT\n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event. We will use the email address used to register for this event.

SUMMARY:In and Against the State: Discussion Notes for Socialists\, with Seth Wheeler [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Originally published as a pamphlet in 1979 and again by Pluto in 1980\, In and Against the State brought together questions of working-class struggle and state power\, exploring how revolutionary socialists might reconcile working in the public sector with their radical politics. Informed by autonomist political ideas and practices that were central to the protests of 1968\, the book’s authors spoke to a generation of activists wrestling with the question of where to place their energies. \n\n\n\nForty years have passed\, yet the questions it posed are still to be answered. As the eclipse of Corbynism and the onslaught of the global pandemic have demonstrated with brutal clarity\, a renewed socialist strategy is needed more urgently than ever. \n\n\n\nEditor Seth Wheeler will be joining us online to discuss.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nSeth Wheeler has over 20 years of experience within the domestic and international extra-parliamentary left(s). He is the co-editor of Occupy Everything (Minor Compostions\, 2013)\, co-founder of the communist organisation Plan C\, and a founding editor of the online workerist journal Notes From Below. He has contributed to Novara Media among other publications and is completing his PhD at Royal Holloway\, University of London. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT\n\n\n\nYou will receive the link to the event content in your order confirmation email\, and in a reminder email before the event starts.

SUMMARY:VETERANHOOD\, with Joe Glenton in conversation with Matt Kennard [online event]

Conservatives\, liberals and socialists all want to speak about and for ex-servicemen\, yet far-right demonstrations are dotted with berets and medals and ex-military men have become celebrities of the reactionary manosphere. \n\n\n\nSo who are Britain’s ex-servicemen? What do they want? What are their politics? What are the issues which animate them? Are they just irredeemable fascists by dint of their service to Empire? Or is there a radical political potential waiting to be unlocked? \n\n\n\nFormer soldier Joe Glenton takes us on a guided tour through ex-forces life at the heart of a dead empire as he attempts to demystify military culture\, rescue the veteran from his captors\, and discover if a more optimistic\, humanist mode of veteranhood can be recovered from the ruins. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nJoe Glenton is a journalist\, film-maker and award-winning author. He was a British soldier from 2004 to 2010\, serving in Afghanistan.

SUMMARY:Daring to Hope: My Life in the 1970s\, with Sheila Rowbotham [online event]
DESCRIPTION:In this powerful memoir Sheila Rowbotham looks back at her life as a participant in the women’s liberation movement\, left politics and the creative radical culture of a decade in which freedom and equality seemed possible. She reveals the tremendous efforts that were made to transform attitudes and feelings\, as well as daily life. \n\n\n\nAfter addressing the first British Women’s Liberation Conference at Ruskin College\, Oxford in 1970\, she went on to encourage night cleaners to unionise\, to campaign for nurseries and abortion rights. She played an influential role in discussions of socialist feminist ideas and her books and journalism attracted an international readership. \n\n\n\nWritten with generosity and humour Daring to Hope recreates grassroots networks\, communal houses and squats\, bringing alive a shared impetus to organise collectively and to love without jealousy or domination. It conveys the shifts occurring in politics and society through kernels of personal experience. The result is a book about liberation in the widest sense.  \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nSue O’Sullivan joined the Tufnell Park women’s liberation small group.  At the end of February 1970\, when 8 1/2 months pregnant\, she attended the Ruskin conference in Oxford with her then husband and two-year-old toddler. Fifty years + later she staggers on\, still a feminist\, still a socialist – the same and very different – personally and politically.   Sue has been involved in a number of feminist publishing projects over the years including the WLM’s early Shrew\, then on to Red Rag\, Spare Rib\, Feminist Review\, and ICW News (International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS). Most recently she participated in creating the Hackney HOWLERS (History of Women’s Liberation) Writing Women into History booklet.  She was also a dedicated member of the Sheba Feminist Publisher Collective in the 80s  and has edited\, co-edited\, and written a number of books and pamphlets.  Through it all (or much of it) she’s been active in lesbian feminist\, anti-racist\, and women’s health and sexual politics.  \n\n\n\nSheila Rowbotham who helped start the women’s liberation movement in Britain\, is known internationally as an historian of feminism and radical social movements. She is the author of the ground-breaking books Women\, Resistance and Revolution; Woman’s Consciousness\, Man’s World; and Hidden from History. Her other works include Dreamers of a New Day: Women Who Invented the Twentieth Century; the biography Edward Carpenter: A Life of Liberty and Love\, shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize and winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Biography\, and Rebel Crossings: New Women\, Free Lovers and Radicals in Britain and the United States. Verso have also reissued her memoir Promise of a Dream: Remembering the Sixties\, as part of the Feminist Classic series. Her latest book is Daring to Hope: My Life in the 1970s. Her poetry and two plays have been published and she has written for newspapers and journals in Britain\, the US\, Italy\, Brazil\, Turkey\, Sweden and Sri Lanka. She lives in Bristol. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT\n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event. Ticketholders will also be able to access the event via the eventbrite page.  \n\n\n\nTICKET INFORMATION\n\n\n\nThere are various tickets available for this event: If you’d like a copy of Daring to Hope then choose the book plus entry ticket.

SUMMARY:Uncontrollable Women: Radicals\, Reformers and Revolutionaries\, with Nan Sloane [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Author Nan Sloane charts the history of forgotten women revolutionaries between the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 and 1832. \n\n\n\nWe’re pleased to welcome author Nan Sloane to virtual Housmans for the book launch of Uncontrollable Women: Radicals\, Reformers and Revolutionaries. \n\n\n\nUncontrollable Women is a history of radical\, reformist and revolutionary women between the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 and the passing of the Great Reform Act in 1832. Very few of them are well-known today; some were unknown even in their own day. All of them contributed something to the world we now inhabit. \n\n\n\nAt a time when women were supposed to leave politics to men they spoke\, wrote\, marched\, organised\, asked questions\, challenged power structures\, sometimes went to prison and even died. History has not usually been kind to them\, and they have frequently been pushed into asides or footnotes\, dismissed as secondary\, or spoken over\, for\, or through by men and sometimes other women. These are their stories. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nNan Sloane is an author\, speaker and trainer with an interest in the role of women in the public space\, particularly in politics and the Labour Party. Her previous books include The Women In the Room: Labour’s Forgotten History (2018)\, In Our Own Words: A Dictionary of Women’s Political Quotations (2016)\, and A Great Act of Justice: The Flapper Election and After (2009). \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation link to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event. Confirmation emails and invitation links sometimes end up in spam folders\, so please check there before emailing the shop.

SUMMARY:The Great Recoil: Politics after Populism and Pandemic\, with Paolo Gerbaudo [online event]
DESCRIPTION:What comes after Neoliberalism? \n\n\n\nIn these times of health emergency\, economic collapse\, populist anger and ecological threat\, societies are forced to turn inward in search of protection. Neoliberalism\, the ideology that presided over decades of market globalisation\, is on trial\, while state intervention is making a spectacular comeback amid lockdowns\, mass vaccination programmes\, deficit spending and climate planning. \n\n\n\nWe are joined by sociologist and political theorist Paolo Gerbaudo to explore the themes of his latest publication: The Great Recoil: Politics after Populism and Pandemic (Verso) in which he fleshes out the contours of the different statisms and populisms that inform contemporary politics. \n\n\n\nThe central issue in dispute is what mission the post-pandemic state should pursue and how socialists may turn the present phase of involution into an opportunity for social transformation. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nPaolo Gerbaudo is a sociologist and political theorist based at King’s College London where he acts as Director of the Centre for Digital Culture. He is the author of Tweets and the Streets\, The Mask and the Flag and The Digital Party. He has written for the New Statesman\, Guardian\, and other publications. \n\n\n\nJames Meadway is director of the Progressive Economy Forum and former advisor to shadow chancellor John McDonnell. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Post-Internet Far Right [online event]
DESCRIPTION:How has the far right changed since the rise of the internet? How can we be ready for it? \n\n\n\nWe are very pleased to announce this event in collaboration with Dog Section Press for one of Housmans bestselling titles of 2021: Post-Internet Far Right. \n\n\n\nWe’ll be joined by Sam Moore and Alex Roberts\, authors of Post-Internet Far Right and hosts of12 Rules for WHAT\, a podcast and writing project about the far right. \n\n\n\nSam and Alex will be discussing how the the far right has changed since the rise of the internet\, causing the decline of some formations and the break-up of others. \n\n\n\nBut the far right has not gone away – far from it – it is more powerful now than it has been for a generation. It has produced new configurations of tactics\, priorities\, and goals. Those who have survived the arrival of the internet have found a greater capacity to exert power than at any point since the Second World War. \n\n\n\nThe far right is in a state of productive diversification. It has yet to cohere around a new stable formulation; however\, it almost certainly will\, and we must be ready for it. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nSam Moore and Alex Roberts\, authors of Post-Internet Far Right and hosts of12 Rules for WHAT\, a podcast and writing project about the far right. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Warp & Weft: Psycho-emotional Health\, Politics and Experiences\, with Lisa Fannen [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Warp & Weft explores radical frameworks to develop new ways of understanding experiences of distress within social and systemic contexts. \n\n\n\nWarp & Weft gathers together ideas\, radical frameworks and reference points to explore consciousness\, and ways of understanding experiences of distress as they occur within our social and systemic contexts. \n\n\n\nIt looks at what gets called ‘mental health’ and challenges the idea that our experiences of distress\, struggle or variable consciousness are only ‘mental’. It challenges the way biomedicine splits mind from body and soul\, and names that we are embodied beings\, who are shaped by and unfold within the contexts we have inherited and live in. \n\n\n\nIt looks at some of the history of psychiatry and examines the ways it has been\, and continues to be used as a colonial force. It reframes trauma; it looks at the effects of trauma in the bodymindsoul\, acknowledges the intersection of personal and collective trauma\, and explores ways we might move towards healing. \n\n\n\nWarp & Weft considers how we are given cultural ‘scripts’ for experience\, and how we might relanguage experience on our own\, and non-medical terms. Terms which address root causes of distress and point towards holistic approaches\, in order to foster liberatory personal and collective transformation. \n\n\n\n**This event will be a Zoom meeting and will not be recorded* \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nLisa Fannen is a poet and performer\, a bodyworker and community herbalist who has been active for many years in info exchange and organising around holistic and radical health in the context of movement for social justice and liberation. \n\n\n\ninthebody.uk \n\n\n\nlisafannen.uk \n\n\n\nThere is more information about Warp & Weft\, access to a free pdf as well as related online resources at: threadsbook.org \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Always Red\, with Len McCluskey [online event]
DESCRIPTION:The major autobiography of a central player in a tumultuous period of British political history \n\n\n\nLen McCluskey is the standout trade unionist of his era. Head of the giant Unite union for more than a decade\, he is a unique and powerful figure on the political stage. \n\n\n\nIn this major autobiography\, McCluskey throws back the curtains on life at the top of the Labour movement—with explosive revelations about his dealings with Keir Starmer\, the behind-the-scenes battles of the Corbyn era\, his secret Brexit negotiations with Theresa May’s government\, the spectacular bust-up with his former friend Tom Watson\, and his tortuous relationship with Ed Miliband. \n\n\n\nMcCluskey is no run-of-the-mill trade unionist. Fiercely political\, unflinchingly left wing\, he is a true workers’ leader. His politics were formed in Liverpool at a time of dock strikes\, the Beatles\, and the May 1968 revolution in Paris. An eyewitness to the Hillsborough tragedy\, he recounts in harrowing detail searching for his son. \n\n\n\nWitty and sharp\, McCluskey delivers a powerful intervention\, issuing a manifesto for the future of trade unionism and urging the left not to lose sight of class politics. \n\n\n\nA central player in a tumultuous period of British political history\, McCluskey’s account is an essential—and entertaining—record of our times. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nLen McCluskey\, general secretary of Unite the Union for more than a decade\, is a trade unionist from Liverpool. Elected a shop steward on the Liverpool docks aged 19\, he rose through the Transport and General Workers’ Union before playing an instrumental role in the creation of Unite. As its leader\, he became a national political figure and a powerful influence in the Labour Party. He is a lifelong supporter of Liverpool Football Club and the author of Why You Should Be A Trade Unionist. \n\n\n\n Chloe Schlosberg\, Director of Jeremy Corbyn’s Peace and Justice Project  \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Commoning Care and Collective Power with Manuela Zechner [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Childcare Commons and the Micropolitics of Municipalism in Barcelona \n\n\n\nCommoning Care & Collective Power traces the twin genealogies of childcare commons and the micropolitics of municipalism in Barcelona. It shows how grassroots movements engaged new institutional experiments after Spain’s 15M movement\, marked by struggles for social reproduction and a new feminist politics\, leading towards commons municipalisms. Interested in both struggles for and to care\, this book looks across subjective and collective processes. Interdependence and autonomy\, care and micropolitics\, building power and commons\, neighbourhood and city: those are some of the terms brought into resonant tension. \n\n\n\nZechner honours the groundwork of mothers’ networks and commons nurseries\, telling of powerful webs and infrastructures of care in the neighbourhood of Poble Sec. Midwives\, mothers\, carers and councillors prefigure schools and cities of care\, as this book turns to explore how institutions are themselves sites of struggles to care. How to stay with the trouble of embodiment\, interdependence and collective learning\, even within institutional contexts? How might we grapple with the relation between movements and institutions? This book’s interweaving of concepts and experiences traces a powerful cycle of collective learning\, yielding new articulations between the commons and the public\, and channeling new feminist forces. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nManuela Zechner is a researcher\, facilitator and cultural worker. She currently co-produces the Earthcare Fieldcast for translocal and transversal struggles across ecology and care\, and is building a Future Archive since 2005. \n\n\n\nStevphen Shukaitis is an academic worker. He likes to do things with his friends\, some of which end up making books: https://www.minorcompositions.info. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Small Town Girl\, with Donna McLean [online event]
DESCRIPTION:A memoir from a voice at the centre of the Spy Cops scandal \n\n\n\n“You live with someone for two years and then . . . they simply don’t exist.” \n\n\n\nOver four decades\, British undercover police deliberately and systematically started relationships with women in order to infiltrate protest groups. They lived with these women\, some had children with them\, and when the job was done they simply left. \n\n\n\nIt took over ten years for Donna to find out what really happened – and who her fiancee really was. Carlo was an undercover police officer. He targeted Donna and started a relationship with her so he could get close to her activist friends. Carlo had been leading a double life the whole time he was with Donna – with his own wife and son living a short distance away. \n\n\n\nWe have heard very little from the women at the heart of this extraordinary scandal. Most felt forced to accept anonymity. Donna decided to drop her pseudonym last year so she could tell her story in her own words and under her own name. Small Town Girl is that story. \n\n\n\nThe great love story of Donna McLean’s life wasn’t just built on lies\, it was one. With an inquiry underway\, Small Town Girl is a reclamation of a truth that was ruthlessly buried. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nDonna McLean is a working class writer\, activist and mental health practitioner. She has written for several publications including the Guardian\, The Morning Star\, The Independent and the Telegraph. Donna has also published several pieces of short fiction\, including the 2020 anthology The Middle of a Sentence. Small Town Girl is her first book. \n\n\n\nand more tbc \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:A Normal Life with Freedom Press [online event]
DESCRIPTION:A Normal Life is the autobiography of Vassilis Palaiokostas\, known to the public as the “Greek Robin Hood\,” to police as “The Uncatchable.” His is an illegalist existence lived in defiance of the police and of the state\, and for decades\, it has been a life lived as a fugitive. \n\n\n\nIn Greece he has become a household name\, a modern folk hero of sorts\, taking millions in bank raids — including the famous Kalambaka heist\, Greece’s biggest ever — and ransoming CEOs whilst distributing his gains to those who needed it. But he is most famous for his prison breakouts — infamously escaping the high-security wing of Korydallos Prison by helicopter. \n\n\n\nTwice. \n\n\n\nVassilis Palaiokostas is hated by the authorities\, deemed a terrorist\, his freedom a continued insult to the Greek State. Now his memoir\, an instant bestseller in Greece\, has been translated to English for the first time so he can tell his story in his own words. He does not offer any mealy-mouthed\, “socially acceptable” justifications for his actions\, but honestly elaborates his dreams and their totality. \n\n\n\nA Normal Life is a gripping account of life on the run and in jail\, of car chases\, daring escapades and the camaraderie of the bandit. It is also the story of his motivations. \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with Freedom Press \n\n\n\nFreedom is Britain’s oldest anarchist press \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Abolition. Feminism. Now.
DESCRIPTION:Aviah Sarah Day (Sisters Uncut) in conversation with Gina Dent and Beth Ritchie. \n\n\n\nAbolition. Feminism. Now. is an urgent call for a truly intersectional\, internationalist\, abolitionist feminism. \n\n\n\nThe Black Feminist Bookshop and Housmans are very pleased to announce a joint event to celebrate the publication of Angela Y. Davis\, Gina Dent\, Erica Meiners and Beth Richie’s new book Abolition. Feminism. Now. (published by Penguin). \n\n\n\nGina Dent and Beth Ritchie will be in conversation with lecturer\, activist and a member of the direct action group Sisters Uncut Aviah Sarah Day. \n\n\n\nAbout the book: \n\n\n\nAs a politics and as a practice\, abolitionism has increasingly shaped our political moment\, amplified through the worldwide protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a uniformed police officer. It is at the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement\, in its demands for police defunding and demilitarisation\, and a halt to prison construction. And it is there in the outrage which greeted the brutal treatment of women by police at the 2021 Clapham Common vigil for Sarah Everard. \n\n\n\nAs this book shows\, abolitionism and feminism stand shoulder-to-shoulder in fighting a common cause: the end of the carceral state\, with its key role in perpetuating violence\, both public and private\, in prisons\, in police forces\, and in people’s homes. Abolitionist theories and practices are at their most compelling when they are feminist; and a feminism that is also abolitionist is the most inclusive and persuasive version of feminism for these times. \n\n\n\nIn this landmark work\, four of the world’s leading scholar-activists issue an urgent call for a truly intersectional\, internationalist\, abolitionist feminism. \n\n\n\n‘This extraordinary book makes the most compelling case I’ve ever seen for the indivisibility of feminism and abolition\, for the inseparability of gendered and state violence\, domestic policing and militarism\, the street\, the home\, and the world. Combining decades of analytical brilliance and organizational experience\, the authors offer a genealogy of the movements that brought us here\, lessons learned\, battles won and lost\, and the ongoing collective struggle to build a thoroughly revolutionary vision and practice.’ ROBIN D. G. KELLEY\, AUTHOR OF FREEDOM DREAMS: THE BLACK RADICAL IMAGINATION \n\n\n\n‘In this powerful\, wise and well-crafted book\, filled with insight and provocation\, the authors make it patently and abundantly clear why abolitionist feminism is necessary . . . Attentive to histories of organising that are too quickly erased\, and alive to new possibilities for working collectively in the present time\, this book is as capacious and demanding as the abolitionist feminism it calls for. It gives us a name for what we want. Abolitionism. Now.’ SARA AHMED\, AUTHOR OF WILLFUL SUBJECTS \n\n\n\nAccessibility information: \n\n\n\nThis event will take place online.

SUMMARY:The Rise of Ecofascism with 12 Rules for WHAT [online event]
DESCRIPTION:The world faces a climate crisis and an ascendant far right. Are these trends related? How does the far right think about the environment\, and what openings does the coming crisis present for them? \n\n\n\nThis incisive new book traces the long history of far-right environmentalism and explores how it is adapting to the contemporary world. It argues that the extreme right\, after years of denying the reality of climate change\, are now showing serious signs of reversing their strategy. A new generation of far-right activists has realized that impending environmental catastrophe represents their best chance yet for a return to relevance. In reality\, however\, their noxious blend of conspiracy\, hatred and violence is no solution at all: it is the ‘eco-socialism of fools’. Only a real commitment to climate justice can save us and stop the far right in its tracks. \n\n\n\nNo-one interested in the struggle against right-wing extremism and the crusade for climate justice can afford to miss this trenchant critique of burgeoning ecofascism. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nSam Moore and Alex Roberts are researchers\, anti-fascist activists and the hosts of 12 Rules for WHAT\, a podcast about the far right. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:The Starmer Project: A Journey To The Right\, with Oliver Eagleton [online event]
DESCRIPTION:A forensic political biography of the Labour Party leader \n\n\n\nThe Labour Party has virtually disappeared from view under the leadership of Keir Starmer. Hailed as a human-rights champion and political outsider\, what sort of politician is he really\, and what mark is he making on the new politics of Labour? \n\n\n\nIn The Starmer Project\, Oliver Eagleton provides a careful reading of Starmer’s record at the Crown Prosecution Service and as a member of Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet\, tracing the political alliances he forged and the roots of his bid for the party leadership. \n\n\n\nStarmer originally pledged to revitalise Corbynism with a dose of lawyerly competence. To understand what happened afterwards it is necessary to understand the man himself. So little known about Starmer that his actions are usually interpreted as overtures to others. On closer inspection\, however\, he is anything but an empty political vessel. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nOliver Eagleton is an Assistant Editor at New Left Review and Sidecar. He writes on culture and politics for the Guardian\, TLS\, Literary Review and Novara. \n\n\n\nmore speakers TBC \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.
