STOP PRESS – David Graeber wins the 2012 Bread and Roses Award! Full story
The Bread and Roses Award is an independent annual award for the best radical book published each year.
The aim of the award is to promote the publication of radical books, to raise the profile of radical publishing, and to reward exceptional work.
Without being too prescriptive in defining “radical”, we expect that shortlisted books will be informed by socialist, anarchist, environmental, feminist and anti-racist concerns, and primarily will inspire, support or report on political and/or personal change. They may relate to global, national, local or specialist areas of interest.
The name Bread and Roses is taken from the slogan attributed to textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts, who, at least in the song commemorating the event, struck “for bread, and for roses too.” See our history page for a brief summary and links to further information.
