Book talk: Drax of Drax Hall with Paul Lashmar
London
N1 9DY
How One British Family Got Rich (and Stayed Rich) from Sugar and Slavery. Paul Lashmar will be joining us for an evening at Housmans to discuss his latest book, Drax of Drax Hall: How One British Family Got Rich (and Stayed Rich) from Sugar and Slavery. A brilliantly detailed and probing study of a how powerful British family came by their wealth through the worst kind of brutal, dehumanising violence.
With a forward by David Olusoga, this book, which spans 400 years and 18 generations, tells a story that has never been told. While all the British landed gentry profited from chattel slavery in the West Indies, the Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax family of Dorset pioneered it.
Advanced Booking Strongly Recommended.

From Yemen to Gaza
Online
This event will feature two short films and a discussion on the catastrophic wars in Yemen and Gaza - how they are linked, how Britain is complicit, and most importantly, what we can do about it.
John McEvoy (Declassified UK), Katie Fallon (Campaign against Arms Trade) and Yemeni peace activist and data scientist Abdulrahman Abdolaham, will discuss recent developments and actions to challenge the UK's complicity, and Emma will be discussing the UK-Israel Roadmap.
With unimaginable suffering in Gaza and the renewed bombing of Yemen, exposing and challenging the UK’s complicity has never been more important. Register for the event https://tinyurl.com/6pvk3vp4

POETRY READING: Briony Hughes launches SPECULATIVE FREQUENCIES
London
N1 9DY
In this invigorating new collection, Briony Hughes uses her experiences tracking bats through the Surrey Hills as a means to expand ‘communication’ beyond the human body. The bat as a cultural figure is small, blind, nocturnal, and occasionally sinister, but in Hughes’ poems they become a medium through which to interrogate the most pressing issues of our time; what happens when we abandon concepts of human exceptionalism and see ourselves as animals existing with other animals within an ecosystem? In a book of innovative engagements with language and visuality, Hughes explores the enmeshment of humanity within the natural world, and finds a moving kinship with these exceptional, easily overlooked creatures.
Briony will be joined by guest readers Sarah Westcott, Robin Boothroyd, and Redell Olsen.
This is a free event, but we ask that you RSVP via the website.
