SUMMARY:Reading Group 20 – How Nonviolence Protects The State
DESCRIPTION:nce Protects The State For our twentieth reading group we will be reading How Nonviolence Protects The State by Peter Gelderloos. From the blurb: “Since the civil rights era\, the doctrine of nonviolence has enjoyed near-universal acceptance by the US Left. Today protest is often shaped by cooperation with state authorities–even organizers of rallies against police brutality apply for police permits\, and anti-imperialists usually stop short of supporting self-defense and armed resistance. How Nonviolence Protects the State challenges the belief that nonviolence is the only way to fight for a better world. In a call bound to stir controversy and lively debate\, Peter Gelderloos invites activists to consider diverse tactics\, passionately arguing that exclusive nonviolence often acts to reinforce the same structures of oppression that activists seek to overthrow.”  \nA free version of How Nonviolence Protects The State can be found at the Anarchist Library here and our friends at Freedom Press here have offered a 10% discount on physical copies for the reading group. Just quote “London SolFed Reading Group” or pop into Freedom for your general radical book buying needs. The reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 28th of April\, 19:00\, at Freedom Bookshop\, 84b Whitechapel High St\, London E1 7QX. You are welcome to come and join in the discussion even if you have not finished the reading.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: The Journal of a Kurdish Political Prisoner
DESCRIPTION:Join for a discussion of the journal of Kurdish revolutionary\, Ali Poyraz. He spent twenty-one years and four months in Turkish prisons. He was born in 1962 in Bozüyük\, an Alevi village in the Gürün district of Sivas. According to Yeni Özgür Politika\, his political consciousness was shaped by his older brother\, Hüseyin Poyraz (also known as Rubar Dicle)\, a member of the PKK Central Committee. In 1981\, Ali was captured by Turkish authorities in a rural area of Pazarcık while serving as a PKK cadre. Tried by a military court\, he was sentenced to death. Although the Turkish Supreme Court upheld the sentence\, it was later commuted to twenty-one years and four months of imprisonment following the abolition of the death penalty in Turkey under Prime Minister Turgut Özal. \nAli’s journal records his thoughts and observations\, providing invaluable insight into life inside Turkish prisons\, including the organisation\, morale\, and activities of political prisoners. His journal is a mine of information that lends itself to much probing and understanding of the conflict between the Turkish state and the PKK over the past 45 years. This book is published for scholarly purposes\, following the recent disbandment of the PKK as an armed force\, and the changing political landscape in Turkey today. \nWe will discuss this powerful and important book\, followed by a wider discussion of political imprisonment more generally. \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. \n

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: LIQUID REFLECTIONS WITH LILIANE LIJN
DESCRIPTION:We are profoundly honored to be hosting the paperback launch for a memoir by one the world’s greatest living artists\, the sculptor Liliane Lijn\, who will be joined in conversation by leading art writer Jennifer Higgie. Liliane Lijn is an artist who needs little introduction. Her stirring\, often ostentatious and always poetic works are dotted throughout the British urban landscape\, and overseas. Regular visitors to Housmans will have no doubt seen her recent piece Temenos just up the road from us\, near Granary Square. \nWe will host Liliane May 2nd to launch the paperback edition of her brilliant bildungsroman Liquid Reflections. The book begins in 1958 with the talented and fearless Liliane Lijn leaving her family home and moving to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there\, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution – peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. In the years that followed\, Lijn built a life for herself in the city. She embraced the hectic bohemian spirit of the Left Bank. She befriended artists\, painters\, poets\, gallerists and revolutionaries\, as the late Surrealists gave way to a burgeoning Pop Art movement. She had disastrous love affairs with difficult men. She experimented boldly\, creating ground-breaking sculptures with light\, text and movement. And as her profile steadily grew\, she was told again and again that there are no great women artists: ‘There never have been.’ \nLiquid Reflections is her memoir of these years of experiment and adventure – years when Lijn was constantly in motion\, from Paris to New York to Venice to Athens\, from paper and canvas to wax and Perspex to oil and water. In love\, she became pregnant but rebelled against the idea that a woman could not be both a great artist and a mother. And she sought – and found – radical pleasure in the act of creative expression and in the living\, sensuous world around her. \nBased on personal diaries from the time\, this is a riveting and revelatory account of a singular coming of age: a glittering portrait of the artist as a young woman. \n‘I wrote LIQUID REFLECTIONS because I wanted to take my readers on the journey I made to become an artist. It’s the story of an idealistic\, inspired young woman who refuses to accept the prejudices of her time. Becoming an artist was also a search for my own identity…’— Liliane Lijn \nLiliane will be conversation with the art writer Jennifer Higgie\, author of numerous books\, her most recent being The Other Side: A Journey into Women\, Art and the Spirit World\, the first major work of art history to focus on women artists and their engagement with the spirit world. \nThis is going to be an extremely special event and we are delighted to be hosting it. Please do book a ticket in advance to avoid disappointment on the night. \nLiliane and Jennifer will talk for around 45 minutes to an hour\, followed by an open discussion with the audience. Doors will open at 6:45\, with the event starting around 7. \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.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: PUNK SPIRIT!
DESCRIPTION:AN ORAL HISTORY OF PUNK ROCK\, SPIRITUALITY AND LIBERATION\nWe are super excited to welcome John Malkin over from California to talk about his incredible\, and as far as we can tell\, unique\, book: Punk Spirit! We’ve had countless books about punk (not to mention zines) pass through Housmans over the year but none that quite approach the topic from this angle. \nPunk Spirit! is an oral history that examines this movement from many unique perspectives\, bringing together well-known and cutting-edge bands including Sex Pistols\, Minor Threat\, Dead Kennedys\, The Ramones\, Gang of Four\, Pussy Riot\, Crass\, Talking Heads\, Propagandhi\, The Slits\, Bad Religion\, Shelter\, Rebel Riot\, Blackfire\, and many others. \nPunk Spirit! ventures into the emotional and personal experiences of punk artists and activists from around the world and highlights intelligent\, thoughtful\, and humorous discussions on liberation\, spirituality\, and living freely. They discuss a myriad of topics from creativity and anger to freedom from suffering and the ways that punk rock has opposed or embodied religious and moral tenets. Chapters dive deeply into a variety of interconnected realms of punk rock such as the subgenre of straight edge\, Krishnacore and Taqwacore\, evangelical punk concerts in southern California churches\, illegal punk concerts in East German churches\, anti-religious sentiment within punk rock\, the vital connections between punk and self-expression\, and the myriad ways punk rock has been combined with spiritual and religious traditions to illuminate ideas from science\, atheism\, Buddhism\, Christianity\, Judaism\, Islam\, and other ways of being in the world. \nAnd complete with a forward by one of our favorite writers\, Penny Rimbaud! How could we have said no?! \nJohn Malkin is a journalist\, musician\, activist\, photographer and filmmaker. He is the author of Punk Revolution!: An Oral History of Punk Rock Politics and Activism \, and his interviews and writings have been published in internationally including Adbusters\, Punk Planet\, Razorcake\, Spirituality & Health\, Z Magazine\, Ode\, In These Times\, Sojourners\, The Sun\, Film International\, Shambhala Sun\, Tricycle\, Friends Journal\, The Santa Cruz Sentinel\, The Monterey Herald\, and others. He lives in Santa Cruz\, California with his wife and son. \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.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: REVOLUTIONARY FORGIVENESS by D. K. RENTON
DESCRIPTION:Housmans are delighted to welcome the legendary theorist\, thinker and lawyer D.K. Renton to launch what we believe may be one of the most original\, and vital\, works of left wing thought to appear in recent years. \nForgiveness is necessary in the long fight for a just world—but it is only possible after the oppressed are victorious \nFor too long\, revolutionary social movements have reconciled to defeat. We must start winning again. Forgiveness is a crucial strategy for remaking the world\, to secure and sustain victories\, to transform one-time enemies into friends. With deep political commitment\, D. K. Renton makes the case for forgiveness—but of a particularly unruly sort. Tracing the tragic abuse of Eleanor Marx and Jane Wells\, the mistakes of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission\, and the redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye\, Renton urges us to forgive\, but only after tearing down the citadels of the rich. \nRevolutionary Forgiveness connects collective struggle with the individual’s search for justice to demand a better future for all—when the oppressed will be magnanimous in power\, and even former oppressors will be free. \n“Renton rescues ‘forgiveness’ from the pulpit and returns it\, bloodied but lucid\, to history.” \n— Richard Seymour\, author of Disaster Nationalism \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. \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: THE ASSET CLASS: HETTIE O'BRIEN IN CONVERSATION WITH DAN HANCOX
DESCRIPTION:‘PART WAKE-UP CALL\, PART FINANCIAL THRILLER’ (SHAMI CHAKRABARTI) The Asset Class is an equal parts thrilling and enraging work of vitalfinancial journalism\, lifting the lid on the relentlessly destructive force of private equity. We are thrilled to welcome the book’s author Hettie O’Brien to Housmans to be interviewed about the book by celebrated journalist Dan Hancox. A thrilling\, eye-opening investigation into private equity\, a secretive wing of the finance industry that is so relentlessly destructive\, it could have been created to undermine our way of life. You don’t know their names\, but they own the house you rent. They own your hospitals\, nurseries and care homes\, the media you consume and the companies you work for. They even own the tools your union uses to fight back. Business is a contest – and they say their people are built to win. But when does competition become a struggle to the death? For decades\, private equity firms have infiltrated every corner of modern life. Wielding debt as a weapon\, they push vital services into crisis. Their cover story: that this is merely the ‘creative destruction’ essential to growth. Old-school capitalists say they’re dismantling everything that made our economies work. \nIn The Asset Class\, reporter Hettie O’Brien penetrates a hidden empire of billion-dollar deals and covert financial warfare. From Copenhagen to San Francisco\, Barcelona to the Yorkshire Dales\, she follows the money\, the ideological roots and the trail of destruction. What she finds is chilling: private equity isn’t just reshaping the economy – it’s selling out the foundations of Western society. The new owners think they can hide in the shadows. But the owned are fighting back. \nHettie will be interviewed by Dan Hancox\, Guardian journalist and author of Multitudes: How Crowds Made the Modern World (Verso\, 2024). They will talk about the book for about 45 minutes followed by a q&a. \nTo avoid disappointment\, please do book a ticket ahead of the event. \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 \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:'Bored Stiff: the punk 'zine and scene that refused to die' an evening with Terry Macalister\, Gaye Advert and Emilia Elfrida
DESCRIPTION:FREE ENTRY BUT PLEASE RSVP USING THE FROM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE \nThis event celebrates a Bored Stiff book half a century after a fanzine of that name burst into life at the height of the punk “explosion.” \nOriginal creator Terry Macalister has brought together in contemporary time a group of musicians\, photographers and club owners who made the punk scene what it was then and what it has become now. \nLaid out in the original way using marker pens and manual typewriters\, Bored Stiff\, the book\, is a totally original and authentic window into what academics have called a “significant cultural intervention.” \nWith the help of Martin Hand – a graphic designer\, Bored Stiff contains interviews with band members from the likes of The Adverts\, Penetration and the Menstrual Cramps as well as folk such as Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington who created the Roxy and Vortex punk clubs. \nThere are also copies in this new book of the original fanzine which include live reviews from the late 1970s of the Sex Pistols\, 999 and Iggy Pop and harnesses the raw energy of the early days of punk. \nGaye Advert\, the bassist of the Adverts\, will be at the book launch to talk about her role in the early punk scene along with Emilia Elfrida\, vocalist and songwriter of today’s self-styled lesbian punk band\, the Menstrual Cramps. \nThey will discuss why punk happened\, what it means to them and why it has survived albeit in different form 50 years on. Terry and Martin will explain how they put together the new version of Bored Stiff and why they insist on an analogue production that eschews the superficial glamour of the digital print world. \nTerry Macalister is the original creator of Bored Stiff and the author of the new compilation of old and new material. Excited by the success of the early fanzine\, Terry went on to spend his life in national journalism\, most notably as a specialist editor on The Guardian. \nHe is the author of several books including Crude Britannia (Pluto Press) and Polar Opposites (Guardian ebooks)\, executive producer of The Oil Machine film and co-producer of the forthcoming Earth Mother documentary. He is the founder of a Cambridge-based protest choir and sees himself now more as artist and activist than journalist.FREE ENTRY BUT PLEASE RSVP USING THE FROM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE \n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨ Name(required) Email(required) Attending?(required)  \n Yes No Other details 				 Send RSVP Δ \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: THE PLOT IS ON FIRE: Manuela Zechner in conversation
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Manuela Zechner to Housmans to talk about her truly original and radical work in postcolonial eco-theory. \nAs myths of progress and modernisation collapse in the relentless polycrisis of our time\, how do we strengthen other plots—in community\, practice and struggle? How do we come together as movements for earthcare? \nThe Plot is on Fire: Care Struggles after Progress\, Plantation and Patriarchy weaves stories\, proposals\, and analyses around a key domain of living reproduction in crisis: agriculture. Looking at peasant\, indigenous\, and transecofeminist practices\, it formulates another plot on how we want to sustain life collectively—beyond progress\, plantation\, and patriarchy. \nRecovering and repurposing old and new technologies\, and breaking down the division between rural and urban\, the ground is made fertile for growing other futures. Alongside writers like Ursula Le Guin and Octavia Butler\, this work of radical political theory raises critical questions about technology and storytelling\, as matters of care and community. \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 \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:CLAIMED CHOICE + SLOW FACTION + HEARING TESTS + LETS AV IT
DESCRIPTION:We’re back at the Blue Monk for another exciting date bringing together different variations of Oi\, punk hardcore and associated genres.   To headline\, none other that Claimed Choice\, coming over from Lyon (France) and bringing their own take on Oi music. As far as French Oi is concerned\, it is a clear defined genre\, that Claimed Choice take on with a younger and more rock n roll approach\, on the likes of bands such as Grade 2 or the Chisel – making themselves a core contributor of the new wave of skinhead music. To represent our local scene – Slow Faction brings traditional ’77 punk rock to the stage. A band that needs no introduction due to their many years of activity and involvement in the London scene. Fast\, loud\, efficient\, it’s a set you simply cannot miss. We’re following up with 2 more recent and upcoming local talent\, starting with Hearing Tests\, a DIY hardcore punk band from north London\, bringing on some raw antifascist punk to the stage\, with a set of classic hardcore punk that’ll give your neck something to remember the next day. Finally to open\, recently created Let’s Av It brings on Oi music with heavy hardcore breakdown\, making a fresh and aggressive take on tradionational Oi. Buckfast\, Fred Perry and very politically infused\, that’s Lets Av It in a nutshell. What say you London?   https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/claimed-choice-slow-faction-hearing-tests…
