Our recent recommendations for Bookhaus

Jonas Patrick Marvin safely detonates his tome of socialist history in Bookhaus; The Breaking of The English Working Class is a radical revision of our impossibly fractured class consciousness at a time when we might need it the most. It's a tale of successive political betrayals, exploitation, dissolution, but ultimate one of hope, dignity and uprising. The Breaking of the English Working Class launch with Jonas Patrick Marvin

The feel-good alternative to the skip and the shopping centre, or just another stop on the conveyor belt? Tansy E. Hoskins’ Charity Shop World delivers a reality check on the afterlife of your donated wares, interweaving far-reaching research into overconsumption with her personal experiences of the shop floor. A fascinating unpacking of consumer culture and community! Charity Shop World launch with Tansy E. Hoskins

Actor, playwright and novelist extraordinaire, Emily Woof presents her unexpected pivot to the world of speculative sci-fi! Casting her lyrical gaze to a future London where state oppression and sweltering heat suffocate life itself (sounds familiar…), Ecstatic is an exploration of the politics of the body, and a reclamation of joy in times of rampant, unstable change. Ecstatic launch with Emily Woof

With the recent rise in racial representation and diverse programming, many network execs, advertisers and political elites are patting themselves on the back. But, Symeon Brown argues, there’s never been more barriers to meaningful social acceptance and mobility - he’ll be in person to dissect race and class identity in modern Britain with the launch of The Good, the Black and the Boujee. The Good, the Black and the Boujee: How Black Britain Became Middle Class launch with Symeon Brown

Sell out warning! Bookhaus present another crucial discussion on the British government’s complicity in the Gazan genocide. Authors Jeremy Corbyn, Neve Gordon and Shahd Hammouri come together to launch this vital new work, bringing together testimonies from Palestinian survivors, human rights campaigners and international law experts to examine the defining war of our age.
