History, Heritage, and Communities

A profoundly personal and moving portrait of a misunderstood people and their on-going journey - shedding new light on Romani history and what it means to be Romani in Europe today.'Fascinating' TELEGRAPH'An exhilarating history of resistance and survival' OBSERVERThe Romani story is not widely known, and that invisibility has allowed fear and hostility to thrive. The Roma, full of extraordinary individuals and hitherto ignored moments from history, corrects this.We meet the artist who chronicled her experiences of the Holocaust in Austria; the boxer who should have become Germany's light-heavyweight champion only to have his win scratched from the record by the Nazis; and a eighteenth-century woman in London who was sentenced to death for kidnapping to be exonerated by the detective work of an unconvinced judge. Throughout, Madeline Potter weaves in her travels though Romani Europe and experience as a Romani woman in Romania and in Britain.Blending evocative history and lyrical travel writing with intimate accounts of racism and calls for change, The Roma is a powerful story of resistance, resilience and survival - and a celebration of a vibrant culture and misunderstood people. 'A fascinating look at a marginalised and misunderstood people' DAILY MAIL'Wise and beautiful' JO CLEMENT, author of Outlandish'Epic in scale and ambition ... Utterly compelling' LANRE BAKARE, author of We Were There'A book to be treasured' BIDISHA, broadcaster and presenter

An expert’s exposé on the harms of Big Porn Extreme porn is ruining lives. What can we do about it? 'Fizzes with righteous rage' The Times 'Couldn’t be more important... Urgent, bold and unflinching.' Laura Bates, author of Everyday Sexism Never more than a click away, porn is virtually inescapable. With minimal moderation, mainstream platforms don’t just host it, they push ever more extreme content into view, whether you want it or not. The consequences are profound. Our most intimate relationships are being manipulated, our desires exploited. An entire generation is learning about sex not from experience or trust but from Pornhub, where fantasies are constructed by degrading, misogynistic and racist ideals that eroticise masculine dominance and normalise sexual violence. Meanwhile, non-consensual porn is destroying women’s lives, a threat now supercharged by deepfakes and AI. We’re told we live in an age of sexual freedom, but this isn’t true. We are fighting not only for autonomy over our bodies and desires, but for gender equality itself. To move forward means confronting and dismantling both the patriarchy and the porn industry that sustains it. 'Read this book – then encourage your partner to read it too.' Glamour

The Problem of Extreme Porn

Exposed

Der biologische Sinn hinter der Vielfalt von Sex, Gender und Geschlecht

Diversität

Examines the discordance among the public over controversial historic monumentsand how it should be addressed, highlighting how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory.

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the United States and Canada rarely experienced iconoclasm, the premeditated destruction of visual symbols, because of their specific emotional or ideological content in the public square. This is changing. As North Americans continue to reject the tangible and intangible heritage of institutionalized white supremacy, iconoclasm acts are happening with greater frequency. The death of George Floyd in May 2020 hastened the demand by Americans to remove historic monuments; so much so, that protesters took matters into their own hands and pulled down statues of historical figures, not limited to the American Civil War but also associated with European colonialism before the American Revolution and during the reign of Queen Victoria in Canada.&nbsp;

For historic preservationists and conservationists, iconoclasm is now the most consequential issue in the field and will continue to be a matter of contention for the foreseeable future. Motives for enacting iconoclasm can be justified, but what are the consequences for doing so, and how, in turn, will this determine the future of our public spaces in towns and cities? More fundamentally, is the current period of iconoclasm leading us to reconsider the public square as part of the built environment? This book will be the first theory-informed work to examine the discordance among the public over controversial historic monuments in the historic landscape and how it should be addressed. It challenges architects, landscape architects, conservationists, preservationists, elected officials, and the public to reconsider the public square and whether or not civic art that memorializes is still relevant or a practice that can be reimagined. It also considers the after-effects of iconoclasm acts: How should we redesign public civic spaces after we have either destroyed or removed historic monuments? As societal values change in regard to public memorialization, how will heritage practitioners, conservationist technicians, and urban designers grapple with working in the civic realm, which may be considered antiquated but continues to exist in our cities?

The book examines how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory. During the second half of the twentieth century, UNESCO and the European Union drafted charters to protect historic monuments from acts of war and degradation. The author considers these sets of principles and other international approaches to contested and conflicted heritage in addressing racism-based heritage that is embedded in North American heritage, from theoretical, architectural, and legal perspectives. France, which first experienced iconoclasm during the Revolution, has grappled with iconoclasm throughout its modern history. Revolutionary leader Henri Grégoire even invented a noun for it: "vandalism." Through the creation of an environment removed from a historic object's context-the public museum, the Louvre-France conceived institutional iconoclasm. From the revolutions and cultural upheavals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the calamities of two world wars in the twentieth century, Europeans have developed policy and a legal framework that address iconoclasm. The book intends to examine this legal framework closely. It will inform the direction that the North American heritage field should take in order to accept that heritage changes, and must change, in response to our own needs to acknowledge multiple histories and identities in a diverse society, while simultaneously recognizing that iconoclasm is a part of how a society resolves its emotional responses to its built heritage.

Iconoclasm in the Public Square

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE 2025 AN OBSERVER BEST NEW NOVELIST 2025 'This summer's hottest read' SUNDAY TIMES 'You won't want to put it down' BRITISH VOGUE 'Sticky, twisting and dangerous' REBECCA K REILLY It's summer. An unnamed young man walks through the gates of a luxurious mansion in the South of France, ready to join the Blake family on their annual holiday. Here, during dreamlike days lounging by the pool and nights blurring into opulent parties, he quickly falls for Felix, the Blake's eldest son. He is everything the man wants to be - handsome, charismatic, wealthy - and his desire is surprisingly reciprocated. Suddenly, a new world of money and power feels within reach. But when summer ends and the two men return to London, the cracks in the Blakes' careful façade begin to show. With the two tormented by demons of their own, their bond risks being pulled apart at the seams. Their secrets and the choices they make will change not only their lives, but the future of those around them.

The Economist, Best Books of 2024 The Times, Best Ideas Books of 2024 A uniquely data-rich analysis of the British elite from the Victorian era to today: who gets in, how they get there, what they like and look like, where they go to school, and what politics they perpetuate. Are Britain's power brokers a conservative chumocracy, born to privilege and anointed at Eton and Oxford? Or is a new progressive elite emerging with different values and political instincts? In search of answers, Aaron Reeves and Sam Friedman scrutinized the profiles of over 125,000 members of the British elite from the late 1890s to today. At the heart of this meticulously researched study is the historical database of Who's Who, but Reeves and Friedman also mined genealogical records, examined probate data, and interviewed over 200 leading figures from a wide range of backgrounds to uncover who runs Britain. What they found is that there is less movement at the top than we think. Yes, there has been some progress on including women and Black and Asian Brits, but those born into the top 1 percent are just as likely to get into the elite today as they were 125 years ago. What has changed is how elites present themselves. Today's elite pedal hard to convince us they are perfectly ordinary. Why should we care? Because the elites we have affect the politics we get. While scholars have long proposed that the family you are born into, and the schools you attend, leave a mark on the exercise of power, the empirical evidence has been thin-until now.

The Making and Remaking of the British Elite

Born to Rule

Under colonial repression and the rationalizing ideals of Enlightenment thought, one practice has long carried the pulse of resistance: dance. Habla! explores how the dancing body speaks – how, through movement, sound, and rhythm, Latinx American communities enact forms of knowing and being that "talk back" to colonial modernity. Centering the traditions of Puerto Rican bomba, Mexican son jarocho, and the global phenomenon of perreo, Jade Power-Sotomayor reveals how these practices transform the body into a site of worldbuilding, social critique, and survival. Introducing the concept of "embodied code-switching" – the corporeal strategies people use to move across cultural, linguistic, and affective registers – Power-Sotomayor traces how dancing navigates and disrupts the logics of separability, ownership, and extraction that underpin Western colonial thought. From bomba's dialogue between dancer and drummer to perreo's unapologetic assertion of a pleasure and power rooted in interdependence, Habla! shows how these embodied traditions sustain collective life and offer new grammars of relation. Through performance, community practice, and activist projects, ¡Habla! demonstrates how the dancing, sounding body continues to generate meaning, connection, and possibility. In its motion – rooted and mobile at once – the dancing body speaks beyond words, carrying forward the histories and futures of Latinx América, and remapping the contours of Our América.

Habla!

A writing professor asks her students to share a childhood memory. They are stranded: all they can recall are family videos, photos resurfaced by an algorithm--moments already framed before they became memories at all.For the last one hundred years, technology has shaped not only how we communicate but how we experience time itself. But today the amassing of big data, the speed of problem solving, and the ubiquity of smartphones and AI threaten to upend our relationship to space and time. The past returns to us only in curated feeds and automatic reminders: an unceasing, untethered stream of content. Might we, in retaking control of our narrative threads, regain agency over our hours, our days, and the stories of our lives?Claire Messud's urgent manifesto argues that we must recapture our futures from the digital forces that consume us, and reclaim what makes us most human.

THE RULES THAT MAKE US 'With the eye of an anthropologist and the clarity of a storyteller, Oliver Sweet helps us see the water we all swim in - the invisible systems that shape our choices, our communities, and even our sense of self. This book doesn't just explain culture; it restores our ability to see it - to notice what we have stopped noticing ... I read it with gratitude and a sense of recognition: this is how deep seeing begins.' Christian Madsbjerg, author of Look and Sensemaking 'Oliver Sweet does something rare: he captures cultural complexity without flattening it into easy answers. The evidence is rigorous, the thinking is nuanced, and the whole thing feels genuinely contemporary.' Rob Scotland, head of brand marketing at Veo 'A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the world really works.' Erin Meyer, author of The Culture Map 'Anthropology in technicolour - accessible, sharp and unsettling in all the right ways. It reminds us that culture doesn't just describe who we are; it scripts what we believe is possible.' Dr Lollie Mancey, programme director at UCD Innovation Academy Oliver Sweet's book is not only a highly informative read and riotously entertaining, but it's an important book ... It is a brilliant and truthful account of how culture shapes us, and more importantly how it unites us more than divides us.' Chloe Combi, author, speaker, columnist, consultant 'Policy makers, think tankers, businesses, consultants, listen up: Forget "nudge" and "behaviour change" - culture is where it's at!' Professor Martin Holbraad, director of Ethnographic Insights Lab, UCL 'The Rules That Make Us is more than a guide to culture; it's a framework for seeing the systems that shape belief, behaviour, and belonging. What makes it powerful is that it's not just theory - it's lived anthropology, translated into a way of thinking that anyone can use. This book doesn't just describe the world; it helps you understand how to work with it.' Murray Standford, head of anthropology, Coca-Cola

Considered one of the best baseball novels of all time, this black comedy about a discontented businessman's obsession with a fantasy baseball league of his own creation is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" meets William Gaddis meets John Updike's Rabbit, Run. Somewhere in a "major-league" American city, there lives a man named J. Henry Waugh—no-account accountant, barfly, and country music fan. The most important part of Waugh's life, as far as he is concerned, is lived in his head, where he is sole proprietor of the Universal Baseball Association, which is now entering its fifty-sixth season. The games are played with dice and scorecards, and the players are just numbers and names, but for Waugh they're more real than the dreary office, the dive bar, and the dingy apartment in which he spends his days. Still, being sole proprietor is a lonely business, and when a few rolls of the dice spell tragedy for the rookie pitcher Damon Rutherford—a player Waugh believes will reinvigorate the game—the whole association is imperiled, along with the sanity of its isolated creator. Robert Coover's fiction was a map of America, and The Universal Baseball Association is smack-dab in the center of it. Baseball, in Waugh's world, is an escape, and Waugh is nothing if not an all-American escapist with a capacity for denial so profound that it can only be called optimism.
