SUMMARY:Come Join Our Disease: Sam Byers in conversation with Juliet Jacques [online event]
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to announce Sam Byers will be joining Juliet Jacques at this Housmans online event to discuss Sam’s latest novel\, Come join Our Disease (published March 18\, Faber). \nThis darkly comic story follows Maya\, a homeless radical who’s given an opportunity to re-enter society through raising a tech-company’s philanthropic profile. Marred by the oppressive standards of image and ‘perfection’\, Maya -through obscene images and a revolution of sickness-  aims to liberate herself and others from society’s grip.  It’s a tale of resistance\, rebellion and questions what it means to protest against the norm. \nEven more relevant to the past year in particular\, Come Join Our Disease crucially covers a humane view on loneliness and isolation\, the forces of hostility between people and how sickness can be used as a vehicle to examine these and speak to rebellion. \nSpeakers \nSam Byers‘ writing has appeared in Granta\, the New York Times and the Times Literary Supplement. His debut novel Idiopathy was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Prize and the Desmond Elliott Prize and was the winner of a Betty Trask Award. His second novel\, Perfidious Albion was longlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize and the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction\, and shortlisted for the Encore Prize. \nJuliet Jacques is a writer and filmmaker based in London. She has published two books\, most recently Trans: A Memoir (Verso\, 2015) – her short story collection Variations will be out on Influx Press in June 2021. Her essays\, criticism and journalism have appeared in many publications\, from The London Review of Books to Tribune\, and her short films have screened in galleries and festivals worldwide. She hosts Suite (212) on Resonance 104.4fm – a radio programme that looks at the arts in their social\, cultural\, political and historical contexts. She teaches at the Royal College of Art\, City Lit and elsewhere. \n\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:What White People Can Do Next : From Allyship to Coalition - Emma Dabiri in conversation with Mikaela Loach
DESCRIPTION:Due to high demand for this event\, we have released an extra batch of tickets including book plus entry\, solidarity tickets and free RSVPs. Please see below. (Updated 6th April 2021) \n\n\n\nWHEN IT COMES TO RACIAL JUSTICE\, HOW DO WE TRANSFORM DEMONSTRATIONS OF SUPPORT INTO REAL AND MEANINGFUL CHANGE? \n\n\n\nThe Black Feminist Bookshop and Housmans are very pleased to announce a joint event to celebrate the publication of academic and broadcaster Emma Dabiri’s new book What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition (published by Penguin). \n\n\n\nWhat White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition is a manifesto for meaningful and lasting change born from the need to talk about racial injustice in a new way. It is a nuanced examination of race\, class and capitalism drawn from years of academic study and lived experience\, as well as personal reflections.  \n\n\n\nEmma will be in conversation with climate justice and antiracism activist Mikaela Loach. They will discuss some of the key aspects of What White People Can Do Next: the concept of “race” as one of the most powerful\, seductive and enduring myths of our time\, created to cause division; the origins of ‘whiteness’ and why the myth of a codified ‘white’ race and ‘white supremacy’ was created in the first place. What White People Can Do Next moves the conversation on from the well-intentioned\, yet often mis-informed\, world of Instagram posts and online outrage and asks not for ‘allyship’\, or ‘privilege’ passing\, but for a coalition of common goals. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmma Dabiri is an Irish-Nigerian academic\, activist\, broadcaster and teaching fellow in the Africa department at SOAS and a Visual Sociology PhD researcher at Goldsmiths. Her 2019 debut Don’t Touch My Hair\, (Penguin) was an Irish Times Bestseller and published to critical and commercial acclaim. The book also inspired a national conversation about race and hair and has led to changing regulations in schools and in the British army. A regular broadcaster on the BBC\, Emma presented ‘Back in Time Brixton’ (BBC2)\, ‘Britain’s Lost Masterpieces’ (BBC4)\, as well as the sociological experiment ‘Is Love Racist?’ (Ch4). Most recently\, she hosted Radio 4’s critically-acclaimed documentary ‘Journeys into Afro-futurism’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMikaela Loach is a climate justice activist\, co-host of The Yikes Podcast\, writer and 4th year medical student based in Edinburgh. In 2020\, Forbes\, Global Citizen and BBC Woman’s Hour named Mikaela as one of the most influential women in the UK climate movement. Her work focuses on making the climate movement more inclusive and focusing on the intersections of the climate crisis with oppressive systems such as white supremacy and migrant injustices. Her activism has been featured in the BBC\, Vogue\, Cosmopolitan\, Elle and VICE. She uses her Instagram platform and The Yikes Podcast to communicate the need for system change\, climate justice and dismantling white supremacy. \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:BOOK LAUNCH: System Crash - An activist guide to making revolution\, with Neil Faulkner and Simon Hannah [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Pandemic\, climate crisis\, endless war\, mega-slums\, police repression\, creeping fascism\, economic stagnation: these shape our world. This book provides hope for an alternative future.  \n\n\n\nWe’re really pleased at Housmans to celebrate the launch of the latest offering from Resistance Books.  \n\n\n\nSystem Crash is an activist guide to making revolution\, a call to arms. Written by Neil Faulkner\, Phil Hearse\, Nina Fortune\, Rowan Fortune and Simon Hannah\, System Crash argues that revolution – ending the rule of capital and the state – has become an existential necessity.  \n\n\n\nCapitalism came into the world\, Marx wrote\, ‘dripping from head to toe\, from every pore\, with blood and dirt’. Now\, the ageing system is putrescent and gangrenous. But the last decade has seen explosions of revolt from below\, firecracking across the globe\, toppling dictators\, resisting austerity\, protesting racism\, defending abortion rights\, fighting for democracy. Here is the embryo of an alternative future. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nNeil Faulkner is a historian and political activist in Anti*Capitalist Resistance. His books include Rome: empire of the eagles\, A Radical History of the World\, A People’s History of the Russian Revolution\, and Creeping Fascism: what it is and how to fight it. He is currently working on A People’s History of the Spanish Civil War.  \n\n\n\nSimon Hannah is a socialist and trade union activist. He is the author of A Party with Socialists in it: a history of the Labour Left\, Can’t Pay – Won’t Pay: the fight to stop the Poll Tax\, and Radical Lambeth. \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.
