On the unlikely politics of ‘inner-prepping’

The Revolution Will Be Internalised

A Life in Shocks

We All Come Home Alive

Essays on imagining a better world in dark times, from one of our most esteemed scholars of fairy tales &nbsp; Fairy tales take us to a world where magic is commonplace, where wishing works, where the conflicts in our hearts are literalized in the world around us. The living, vibrant, democratic genre of the fairy tale draws stories from people and places all over the globe, and spreads them just as broadly. Yet in a world exhausted by war, famine, climate devastation, and political strife, are these tales still valid? Are they merely an escape, or are they something more? The eminent folklorist Jack Zipes argues here that fairy tales remain relevant and powerful, that they still speak truth to power. Indeed, he writes, we cannot do without them. &nbsp; In this collection of essays on such beloved tales as “Hansel and Gretel” and “Puss in Boots”; on the authors L. Frank Baum, E. T. A. Hoffmann, and the Brothers Grimm; and on the dubious influence of Disney, Zipes introduces readers to the history of the fairy tale and explores why the stories retain such a fierce hold on our imagination. He argues vigorously for the fighting utopian spirit the tales uphold—something our world sorely needs.

A Portrait of Joni Mitchell in 53 Snapshots

I Dream of Joni

This rare self-portrait from pioneering publisher, writer and cultural activist Margaret Busby underscores her powerful legacy and celebrates some of the people and places that have shaped her exceptional lifeMargaret Busby has been at the heart of cultural life in the UK for over 50 years. From becoming Britain's youngest and first Black woman publisher when she founded publishing house Allison &amp; Busby, to editing the ground-breaking international anthologies Daughters of Africa and New Daughters of Africa, her many achievements are testament to her dedication to championing the lives and stories of others, particularly those throughout the world who have been marginalised by the mainstream. With little attention previously given to her own skills as a writer, Part of the Story is a unique opportunity to enjoy her own remarkable literary output. It brings together her writings on people, places, politics and publishing, and provides a rich insight into the many elements that have contributed to shaping her life, from her childhood in Ghana to the Black writers, intellectuals, artists and activists she has worked with, befriended, supported and championed for over half a century.

An inspiring anthology of some of the best Black British writing centred around the experiences of the Windrush generation, featuring new writing from Bernardine Evaristo, Margaret Busby and Mike Philips

In June 1948 the SS Empire Windrush docked in Tilbury, carrying with it the hopes and dreams of hundreds of young men and women from the Caribbean. It was both a point of departure and a historic transformation, a moment which influenced generations of writers and artists and produced much poetry, prose, fiction, journalism and influential essays. In this groundbreaking collection, journalist and writer Onyekachi Wambu collates some of the best and most significant writing from the 75 years following the arrival of Empire Windrush. Featuring a preface by Margaret Busby, and new writing from Bernardine Evaristo, Mike Philips and Dan Hicks, Empire Windrush conjures a unique journey through the British past, present and future, via the prism of the Black imagination.

Reflections on 75 Years & More of the Black British Experience

Empire Windrush

Ein Buch voller Kraft, Wut und Verzweiflung - ein Schrei nach Leben Mit vierzig Jahren erkrankt Andreas Große Halbuer an Parkinson. In seiner Verzweiflung entscheidet er sich für eine riskante Operation: Implantierte Elektroden im Gehirn sollen ihm die geraubte Beweglichkeit zurückgeben. Ein schonungsloses Buch über das Leben und Leiden als chronisch kranker Mensch in einer Gesellschaft, die Gesundheit vergöttert. Es begann mit einem Kribbeln im rechten Arm. Dann verlor seine Handschrift ihren Schwung. Schließlich versagte das rechte Bein, sein Lächeln verschwand. Andreas Große Halbuer ahnte, dass etwas Gefährliches im Verborgenen lauerte: Parkinson - ein lebenslängliches Urteil, denn noch immer ist die Krankheit nicht heilbar. In seinem Buch erzählt Große Halbuer, wie er lernte, sein Schicksal anzunehmen und das Beste aus seinem Leben zu machen. Trotz der Diagnose arbeitete er weiter, gründete eine Familie und blieb offen für alles, was die moderne Medizin bietet. Selbst vor einer Gehirn-OP scheute er nicht zurück. Die berührende Geschichte über den Kampf gegen eine heimtückische Krankheit, die Millionen von Menschen betrifft.

Das Ding in meinem Kopf

A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEARWhen everyday life becomes a state of emergency, how can yesterday's words suffice?'We were so happy and didn't know it...'A thirty-three-year-old writer lives in a quiet European suburb with his wife and his dog. His parents have bought an apartment nearby. On weekends they go out for brunch, cook and see friends. Life is good; it is normal. Then the invaders come. The Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you've never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive. Bringing together Oleksandr Mykhed's vivid day-by-day chronicles of the invasion of Ukraine with a chorus of other voices - his family, friends in exile, those who have fought and have witnessed unimaginable atrocities - this book is both a record, and a reckoning. Haunting and timeless, it asks how it is possible to find the words to describe a new reality; how you can still make sense of the world when the only language you can speak is the language of war.
