At the time of writing it is still unclear whether Cyprus’s banks will finally re-open.

Feeding Frenzy asks whether we can feed the ten billion people projected to be alive in 2100 or will the environment collapse and kill us all?

It doesn’t fall prey to the racist arguments of the new Malthusians who start from the idea that poor, usually brown, people have too many children.

This is one very angry trade union activist and this is a very angry book. This is a personal record of her ten years organising for the union and documents her struggle within it.

James Baldwin: Tell Me How Long the Train’s Been Gone (First published in 1968)
It is no easy task choosing a classic read from James Baldwin’s long list of novels, essays and plays. It is tempting to choose Baldwin himself (or his biography at least) as the classic read. Baldwin is one of the most fascinating figures of the US civil rights movement.

apr 13

 

Boss, a US TV drama that has just premiered in Britain, focuses on the political manoeuverings of the Mayor of Chicago and his opponents. But it smacks more of The Sopranos than the West Wing, with a bit of King Lear thrown in. It is a portrait of the politician as a gangster and of the gangster as tragic hero.
