Satire as Critique: Reflections on The Buddha of Suburbia

The Buddha of Suburbia, Hanif Kureishi's novel and TV series about young man’s uncertain cultural identity, charts the fraught social and political changes of late 1970s Britain. Here, Kashif Sharma-Patel charts the series' radical potential.

On the Small Boats Bill

The British government's Small Boats Bill is neither an aberration nor a cynical distraction from other Government woes, but an act that it will cause real material harm to thousands. The left needs a radical, multi-disciplinary strategy that works towards the best, but plans for the worst.

'Legitimacy' Cretinism

In France today, elections are treated as the primary source of democratic legitimacy. But, Frédéric Lordon argues, this electoral deference fetishizes legal procedure at the expense of political action, thus eroding democratic politics.

A Socialist Feminist Reading List

Revolutionary feminist texts, including Angela Davis, Nancy Fraser, Sophie Lewis

Feminist Revolution in the Arab Spring

When we fight back, we don’t have to do it alone.

The planet placed in the feminine will flourish for all

“The revolutionary spirit will be surpassed by the number-one requirement of the modern world: mutation.”
