Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.

Starting November 12, I'll be teaching a course at BISR on how a tragic anti-colonialism was developed—in theory, practice and dramaturgy—by a range of writers, from Lorraine Hansberry to Frantz Fanon, from C.L.R. James to Anna Seghers, from Aimé Césaire to Ghassan Kanafani.

Fredric Jameson died on September 22nd, aged 90. Few radical thinkers have had such a phenomenal impact on literary criticism, critical theory, and philosophy.

To mark his 90th birthday, in April 2024, we published a series of short essays focused on the major books in Jameson's oeuvre
