The Verso Book of Feminism: a letter from the Editor
"Feminism was not just the purview of women, or one gender or sexuality; we knew it was global; we knew our feminism was defined by those most marginalized by race and class and capital and religion."
An Event, Perhaps: a letter from the Editor
"Who was Jacques Derrida? And why does he still matter today?"
A Kick in the Belly: a letter from the Editor
"From this meticulously researched and beautifully written book emerges not only an account of the experiences of enslaved women, but of their stubborn insubordination, their tireless resistance and the crucial role they played in rebellions, small and large."
Thomas Sankara (1949-1987)
On the 33rd anniversary of his assassination in a French-backed coup, we celebrate the life and career of the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso, Thomas Sankara.
A Kick in the Belly: Women, Slavery and Resistance
by Stella Dadzie
“An essential corrective to centuries of sublimation and the presentation of black women who lived through this history as passive victims. I cannot recommend it highly enough.” – Bernardine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other
An Event, Perhaps: A Biography of Jacques Derrida
by Peter Salmon
Philosopher, film star, father of “post truth”—the real story of Jacques Derrida.
by Vigdis Hjorth
“A brilliant study of the mundane, full of unexpected detours and driving prose … Hjorth’s novel ingeniously orbits the intimate stories that are possible only when a character has put words on paper and sent them through the post.” – New York Times
