South Sudan's Azande During Colonialism, War, and Displacement
South Sudan's Azande during colonialism, war, and displacement revisits a people long frozen in time by E. E. Evans-Pritchard's classical anthropology. Its ethnographic research draws on archival sources and hundreds of interviews with chiefs, bureaucrats, former combatants, refugees, and stayees, beginning in a hopeful, post-independence South Sudan and continuing through war and displacement to Uganda. The book traces how colonialism, wars, and mass displacement have fractured Azande society, while also laying the ground for cultural renewal, historical consciousness, and even the reinstatement of an Azande kingdom. Yet the Azande's cultural renaissance may also bear the seeds of renewed conflict.

Woman Alive
Susan Ertz was a popular novelist of the interwar years, best known for her novel Madame Claire, which was chosen as one of the first ten Penguin Books paperbacks in 1935; she also wrote In the Cool of the Day - later adapted into a film of the same name in 1963 - starring Jane Fonda and Angela Lansbury. However, one of her earlier titles - Woman Alive - is an important work in the canon of speculative fiction, until now largely forgotten among the works of her contemporaries such as George Orwell, H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley. Woman Alive is set in 1985 and is at once a satire and a commentary on the rising threat of nationalism in 1930s Britain. The novel is cinematic in structure, conjuring a world in which feminisim and pacifism are woven together to tell the story of Stella - an accidental survivor who became queen of England and the hope of humankind. The relevance of this novel to 21st-century society is of course heightened post-Covid-19. But at its heart it is a love story, a romance of sorts and a page-turner extraordinaire.
Beyond Palatable
Too loud. Too emotional. Too ambitious. Too… powerfu? hat happens when you stop dimming your light and dare to shin? eyond Palatable is a manifesto for women who are done shrinking. For too long, we’ve been told to smooth our edges, soften our voices, and contort ourselves into versions of ‘good’ that leave us cut off from our true power. Sophie Lee calls time on bending to societal norms and exposes the lies that keep women small, compliant and exhausted. Through somatic wisdom (a field that emphasises body awareness and mindful movement for wellbeing), cultural critique and practical tools, she shows readers how to unpick their stories, disrupt the systems that silence them, and remember who the f*ck they are. Raw, unfiltered and unapologetically honest, Beyond Palatable is both a personal reckoning and a cultural intervention. It’s a book for every woman who has ever asked: Am I too much? Not enough? Too complicated to be loved as I a? he truth is, you are more powerful than you’ve been led to believe. I spent most of my life thinking there was something deeply wrong with me. So, I sought validation and constantly outsourced my sense of worthiness to others. It was only when I started doing the real work that I realised the lies we are told to keep us small and compliant, and the ways they destroy our lives. I watched incredible women apologise for themselves in every moment. This isn’t just a me thing, I realised. This is endemic; we’ve all just got really good at pretending. This is for all of the women who have shrunk themselves to fit in. For us, our younger selves and the girls who are growing up in a world of filters, loud expectations and conflicting messages about what it means to be a woman.

The CIA Book Club
The astonishing story of the ten million books that were smuggled across the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.
For almost five decades after the Second World War, Europe was divided by the longest and most heavily guarded border on earth. The Iron Curtain, a near-impenetrable barrier of wire and wall, tank traps, minefields, watchtowers and men with dogs, stretched for 4,300 miles from the Arctic to the Black Sea. No physical combat would take place along this frontier: the risk of nuclear annihilation was too high for that. Instead, the conflict would be fought in the psychological sphere. It was a battle for hearts, minds and intellects.
No one understood this more clearly than George Minden, the head of a covert intelligence operation known as the 'CIA books programme', which aimed to win the Cold War with literature.
From its Manhattan headquarters, Minden's global CIA 'book club' would infiltrate millions of banned titles into the Eastern Bloc, written by a vast and eclectic list of authors, including Hannah Arendt and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, George Orwell and Agatha Christie. Volumes were smuggled on trucks and aboard yachts, dropped from balloons, and hidden in the luggage of hundreds of thousands of individual travellers. Once inside Soviet bloc, each book would circulate secretly among dozens of like-minded readers, quietly turning them into dissidents. Latterly, underground print shops began to reproduce the books, too. By the late 1980s, illicit literature in Poland was so pervasive that the system of communist censorship broke down, and the Iron Curtain soon followed.
Charlie English tells this true story of spycraft, smuggling and secret printing operations for the first time, highlighting the work of a handful of extraordinary people who risked their lives to stand up to the intellectual strait-jacket Stalin created. People like Miroslaw Chojecki, an underground Polish publisher who endured beatings, force-feeding and exile in service of this mission. And Minden, the CIA's mastermind, who didn't waver in his belief that truth, culture, and diversity of thought could help free the 'captive nations' of Eastern Europe. This is a story about the power of the printed word as a means of resistance and liberation. Books, it shows, can set you free.
Catholic Pacifist
A study of the life and work of Gordon Zahn (1918-2007), one of the most significant and formative figures in the history of the US Catholic peace movement. During World War II, Zahn was one of only a handful of US Catholic conscientious objectors, an experience that first put him in contact with Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker. Following the war, Zahn completed a PhD in sociology at The Catholic University of America where Paul Hanly Furfey’s "supernatural sociology" had a profound effect on him. After joining the faculty at Loyola University, Chicago, Zahn won a Fulbright year in Germany (1956-57) where he discovered the story of Franz Jägerstätter, the Austrian Catholic farmer, husband, and father who was beheaded bythe Nazis in 1943 for refusing to participate in Hitler’s military. It was Zahn’s 1964 book In Solitary Witness that introduced Jägerstätter to an international audience and led to his beatification by Pope Benedict XVI in 2007. This work, along with Zahn’s several other books, secured his place as a leading intellectual in the Catholic peace movement. His work influenced the discussions of war and peace at the Second Vatican Council and he was enlisted as an expert witness during the drafting of the US Catholic Bishops’ pastoral letter on nuclear weapons, The Challenge of Peace (1983). Zahn made one of the most intellectually developed cases in the US for "Catholic pacifism"—two terms that both Catholics and pacifists had long regarded as deeply incompatible. Forging a Catholic pacifist position led him to be far more perceptive and critical of US political and military institutions than most of fellow US Catholics. Ultimately, Zahn saw the Catholic Church as the only institution capable of resisting, and support those who resist, modern warfare and the modern war-making state. His traditional view of the Church grounded his claim that Catholics can be pacifist and hisfurther assertion that the Church should serve as a "source of dissent" for Catholics and others, especially during times of war. While marginalized within the broader US Catholic intellectual community, Zahn found common cause with other Catholic luminaries who are now seen to be ahead of their time, including Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, and Daniel Berrigan. Gordon Zahn’s story serves as a template for telling the broader story of the US Catholic peace movement and the development of Catholic attitudes on war and conscientious objection that took place within the twentieth century.

TO WALK THE WAY
Mike Timms has always been a wanderer – into the bundu ('back of beyond') as a child in 1950s Kenya, around Dublin during his college years and along pilgrim paths in Wicklow and southern France as he approached the end of his working life. He has never felt lost or alone, holding a faith in moving forward, one step at a time and finding a peace – and sometimes reverence – in the quiet. So upon retirement, he embarked on his first Camino, setting out on foot just north of Carcassonne in France in the direction of Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. He walked as a true pilgrim, with the scallop shell hanging around his neck, his pilgrim passport in his pocket and no guarantee of a bed in the albergues along the Way. Falling in and out of step with fellow walkers, he learned to trust them and to see the unexpected – injury, fatigue, detour and the generosity of strangers – as blessings in disguise. With immediate and assured writing, Mike Timms takes us on a mindful journey as he moves through this ancient landscape, attuned to the histories, traditions and beliefs that have gone before him. To Walk the Way is his gently transporting account of taking part in them in his own unique way.
