Since her canonical 2017 essay ‘On Liking Women’, the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Andrea Long Chu has established herself as a public intellectual straight out of the 1960s. With devastating wit and polemical clarity, she defies the imperative to leave politics out of art, instead modeling how the left might brave the culture wars without throwing in with the cynics and doomsayers. This book brings together Chu’s critical work across a wide range of media – novels, television, theater, video games – as well as an acclaimed tetralogy of literary essays first published in n+1.

After giving birth to three children in Japan, journalist Abigail Leonard was shocked to return home to the US and understand American motherhood from a new perspective. Fascinated to learn more about the ways that culture around the world impacts the experience of birth and parenting, especially for women, she starts reporting. Identifying four new mothers – from the US, Japan, Finland and Kenya – she follows them closely through birth and the first year of their children’s lives. Their intimate stories shed a light on national history, policy and gender relations; what is universal and what we can learn from other cultures. Abigail Leonard captures the love and complexity of their experiences in careful detail and compelling prose. Her rich storytelling draws an insightful and international portrait of modern mothering.

In 2020 protest movements across the world revealed the inequalities sewn into the fabric of society. The wildfires that ravaged Australia and California made it clear we are in the middle of a climate catastrophe. The pandemic showed us all just how precarious our economies really are, and the conspiracy theories surrounding the US election proved the same of our democracies. Those in charge do not have the answers. In fact, those in charge, more often that not, are the problem. So, what do we do? In this book, political commentator Ece Temelkuran puts forward a compelling new narrative for our current moment, not for some idealised future but for right now, and asks us to make a choice.

Jimi Famurewa, a British-Nigerian journalist, journeys into the hidden yet vibrant world of African London. Seeking to understand the ties that bind Black African Londoners together and link them with their home countries, he visits their places of worship, roams around markets and restaurants, attends a traditional Nigerian engagement ceremony, shadows them on their morning journeys to far-flung grammar schools and listens to stories from shopkeepers and activists, artists and politicians. But this isn’t just the story of energetic, ambitious Londoners. Jimi also uncovers a darker side, of racial discrimination between White and Black communities and, between Black Africans and Afro-Caribbeans. This is a vivid new portrait of London, and of modern Britain.
