SUMMARY:Claudia Jones: A Life in Exile\, with Jade Bentil\, Lola Olufemi and Jumanah Younis [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Housmans is delighted to announce this special event in partnership with publishers Lawrence Wishart to celebrate the publication of Claudia Jones: A Life in Exile by Marika Sherwood. \n\n\n\nLawrence Wishart editor Jumanah Younis will be chatting to Jade Bentil and Lola Olufemi about the life of visionary and pioneer Claudia Jones. \n\n\n\nBorn in Trinidad\, Claudia’s family moved to Harlem\, New York where Claudia became a leading figure in communist and black politics. Claudia arrived in London in 1955 penniless and friendless. She became active in civil rights campaigns amongst the new West Indian communities established in the capital and launched an annual Carnival (Notting Hill Carnival) to showcase the talents and culture of the Afro-Caribbean community. The book’s particular focus is on the time that Jones spent in Britain.  \n\n\n\nClaudia Jones: A Life in Exile is a fitting and long overdue testament to a remarkable woman who was quite simply years ahead of her time \n\n\n\nMarika Sherwood has published many books and articles on the history of Black peoples in Britain. A founder member of the Black and Asian Studies Association\, she remained editor of its newsletter until it ceased publication in 2012. Her latest book is Kwame Nkrumah and the Dawn of the Cold War: the West African National Secretariat\, 1945-48\, Pluto Press\, 2019; Sub-Saharan Publishers\, 2020 (with Martin Spafford\, Dan Lyndon & Hakim Adi)\, Explaining the Modern World: Migration\, (OCR GCSE History)\, Hodder Education\, 2016. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nJade Bentil is a Black feminist historian and PhD researcher at the University of Oxford. Her scholarship uses oral history methodologies to centre the experiences of women of African and African-Caribbean descent in Britain and their long history of feminist activism. Jade’s debut book\, REBEL CITIZEN\, uses oral history interviews to explore the lived experiences of Black women who migrated to Britain following the Second World War and is forthcoming from Allen Lane. \n\n\n\nLola Olufemi is a black feminist writer and organiser from London. She is author of Experiments in Imagining Otherwise (Hajar Press\, 2021) and Feminism Interrupted: Disrupting Power (Pluto Press\, 2020). She was shortlisted for the 2020 Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize in the Fiction and is currently researching for a PhD with the Stuart Hall Foundation. \n\n\n\nJumanah Younis is books editor at Lawrence Wishart and the creator of the Radical Black Women Series. In the past\, she worked as a freelance writer\, translator and editor. She has written for publications including the Guardian\, Red Pepper and the LRB blog. \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.

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.
