SUMMARY:Housmans Valentine's Day Special: COURTING DISASTER with Zoë McGee
DESCRIPTION:Fan of a Romantic Period Drama? Can’t stand the stuff? Either way\, we’ve got the event for you. Come and deconstruct Romance this Valentine’s Day with Housmans and Zoë McGee \nWe’ll be discussing\nZoë’s fabulous new work of Romantic Deconstruction: Courting Disaster: Reading Between the Lines of the Regency Novel. \nWhat do #MeToo and Jane Austen have in common? More than you might think. \nEver since the novel was invented\, women have used it as a platform for sharing ideas about sexual consent. Dr Zoë McGee reveals how Jane Austen\, Frances Burney and their now-overlooked contemporaries used their stories to try to change society’s mind about rape culture – and to reassure survivors they were not alone. \nCourting Disaster takes a timely deep-dive into a series of classic novels\, comparing them with both historic court records and current events to show that our arguments about consent are not a new phenomenon. With the wit and wryness of a courtship novel\, McGee reads between the lines to unveil a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. Because every novel about marriage is also a novel about consent. \nIn an era that’s clamouring for a return to the values of the past\, Courting Disaster asks what that would really mean\, and whether anyone actually liked it back then anyway. \nZoë McGee has a PhD from Queen Mary University of London and an MSt in eighteenth-century studies from the University of Oxford. She has spoken at conferences internationally and now performs at very nerdy stand-up comedy nights. Among other things\, she has worked as a university teacher\, a bookseller and a professional board-game-explainer. She owns too many books and is a competitive ballroom dancer in her spare time. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \nIf you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \nDoors Open at 6:45pm\, Event Starts 7:00.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! THE LOG BOOKS: VOICES OF QUEER BRITAIN AND THE HELPLINE THAT LISTENED with Tash Walker &Adam Zmith
DESCRIPTION:please note this event is now sold out. To be added to a waiting list please email shop@housmans.com An intimate history of LGBTQ+ life over four decades\, discovered in a stash of forgotten\, handwritten notes. Switchboard was founded at Housmans\, and operated out of our premises for many years. So we are honored to start LGBT+ History Month by launching a book that covers an intimate part of Switchboard’s proud history and we look forward to welcoming its authors Tash Walker and Adam Zmith to the shop for an evening of discussion and celebration. \n‘A fantastic journey through an overlooked archive bursting with humanity and real life on every page.’ Dan Snow \nIn a crawlspace at the offices of Switchboard\, a queer helpline in operation since 1974\, lies dozens of log books kept by volunteers describing the phone calls they had taken: a teenager whose parents had kicked them out of their home for dressing as the wrong gender; a lesbian terrified of having her baby taken away from her; a man arrested for chatting up another man in a public toilet; a young person wanting to know how to come out. These logs were traces of tens of thousands of queer lives\, a bridge to a past hidden from people like Tash Walker and Adam Zmith in their youth\, captured by people who lent an ear to those in need. Walker and Zmith came of age in the time of Section 28\, a law which banned councils and schools ‘promoting the teaching of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship’. In recovering these logs\, they encountered people grappling with feelings\, questions and problems both familiar and different. They set out to learn from – and sometimes speak to – people on both sides of the calls. Charged with joy\, gossip\, sensuality\, heartbreak and sometimes fear\, and with a potent relevancy to the world today\, Walker and Zmith have collected these stories in The Log Books. They capture queer lives in stunning detail\, embarking on a journey of both collective history and self -discovery\, propelling it into the foreground of our national history. \n‘Essential reading\, grounded in the past while also explaining the urgency of LGBTQ+ politics today.’TOM RASMUSSEN\, author of Diary of a Drag Queen \n‘Hauntingly beautiful\, this is a testament to the ongoing courage and care so profound in our community. I was enchanted at every page. Completely life – changing.’ DAN GLASS\, author of Queer Footprints \nOUR SPEAKERS: \nTash Walker is a writer\, podcast producer and community organiser who has worked with institutions such as the Barbican\, BBC\, and Queer Britain; they were a member of Switchboard’s board for eight years. \nAdam Zmith is a writer and multi-format producer; his book Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures won the Polari First Book Prize.

SUMMARY:Reading Group 17 – Abolitionist Voices Part Two
DESCRIPTION:For our seventeenth reading group we will finish reading Abolitionist Voices\, a compilation edited by David Gordon Scott. From the blurb: Why have so many radical thinkers advocated for the abolition of prisons and punishment? And why have their ideas been so difficult to popularize or garner the political will for change? This book outlines several different approaches to penal abolitionism and showcases their calls for the ending of legal coercion\, domination\, and repression. This exciting and innovative edited collection shows how abolitionist ideas have continued topicality and relevance in the present day and how they can collectively help with devising new ways of thinking about social problems\, as well as suggesting alternatives to existing penal policies\, practices and institutions.  \nThis month we will be finishing the book\, reading Part III onward. We normally link to a free online version of what we are reading\, but this month we could not find one. If you would like to join the reading group but can no afford to buy Abolitionist Voices\, please send us an email and we will try and get something sorted for you. Our friends at Freedom Press here kindly offer the space for our use\, visit them for radical books\, news\, and events.

SUMMARY:herstories book club: Annie John
DESCRIPTION:☕ Next meeting: Sat 24 January 2.00-3.30pm\n📍Location: Feminist Library\n📖 Book: Annie John\, Jamaica Kincaid\, 1997.\n160 pages\n📚 Previous books we’ve read: https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/herstories-book-club \nThe island of Antigua is a magical place: growing up there should be a sojourn in paradise for young Annie John. But\, as in the basket of green figs carried on her mother’s head\, there is a snake hidden somewhere within. Annie John begins by adoring her beautiful mother\, but inexplicably she comes to hate her. Adolescence takes this brilliant\, headstrong girl into open rebellions and secret discoveries – and finally to a crisis of emotions that wrenches her away from her island home.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! CONTESTED COMMONS: A History of Protest and Public Space in England
DESCRIPTION:please note this event is now sold out. To be added to a waiting list please email shop@housmans.com \nProffessor Katrina Navickas In Conversation with Daniel Frost\nFor our first event of the year we welcome Proffessor Katrina Navickas to the shop to discuss what is an increasingly urgent political issue in our current cultural climate. Her recent book\, Contested Commons is a radical history of the increasing restrictions against protest in England’s public spaces. The work is a gripping overview of increasingly restrictive policing and legislation against protest in public spaces. It tells the long history of contests over Trafalgar Square\, Hyde Park\, Cable Street and Kinder Scout\, as well as sites in towns and rural areas across the country. Navickas reveals how protesters claimed these spaces as their own commons\, resisting their continuing enclosure and exclusion by social and political elites. She investigates famous and less well-known demonstrations and protest marches\, from early democracy\, trade union movements and the Suffragettes to anti-fascist\, Black rights and environmental campaigners in more recent times. Contested Commons offers positive as well as troubling lessons on how we protect the right to protest. \nKatrina Navickas is Professor of History at the University of Hertfordshire. She is the author of Protest and the Politics of Space and Place\, 1789–1848 (2016) and Loyalism and Radicalism in Lancashire\, 1798–1815 (2009). She will be joined in conversation with Daniel Frost. They will discuss the book and its themes for around 45 minutes\, followed by a open discussion with the audience. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \nIf you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \nDoors Open at 6:45pm\, Event Starts 7:00.
