The Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing 2019 Shortlist

The Alliance of Radical Booksellers is delighted to announce the shortlist for the Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing 2019. Now in its eighth year, the Bread & Roses Award seeks to celebrate excellence in the field of radical political non-fiction.

In a change to previous years, the 2019 award is being facilitated, adjudicated and funded solely by Alliance of Radical Booksellers members. The £500 prize will be awarded to the winner at a special event to be held at the Bread & Roses Theatre, King’s Cross, on Tuesday 11th June, 2019.

Please do also visit the website of our sister book prize, The Little Rebel’s Children’s Book Award, to view the recently announced shortlist of the best books published in the UK for readers aged 0-12.
