Quiet Revolutions: A Celebration of Radical Bookshops

Quiet Revolutions will see the Barbican Library host a bookfair with stalls from Britain’s best-known radical bookshops including Housmans, New Beacon Books, Gay’s The Word, Five Leaves and Newham Bookshop along with radical publishers and organisations Verso and Bishopsgate Institute. Two panel discussions will include addresses and interventions on activism and books from historians and writers such as Sheila Rowbotham, Farrukh Dhondy and Juliet Jacques along with key figures from the radical book world of the 1970s and 80s such as Ken Worpole of Centerprise and Jane Cholmeley of Silver Moon.
