SUMMARY:The Dolphin by Susan Clegg
DESCRIPTION:‘He knew that this was as close to the sea as he could ever get.’ \n\n\n\nJoin us at La Biblioteka as we welcome local author Susan Clegg and feminist publisher Linen Press to celebrate the publication of The Dolphin.  \n\n\n\nIn 1937 Larry Lambert has a vision of a magnificent pub built on frozen fields ‘like a grassy sea’. It is an echo of a single\, failed\, gay encounter in a fishing boat\, and in its construction he invests his energy and his thwarted dreams. He calls it The Dolphin. \n\n\n\nAnd so unfolds a moving exploration of the constraining expectations of society on three generations of one family. For Larry\, there is the cruel impossibility of being gay in 1930s Britain and his ensuing loveless marriage with the embittered Rosemary. For his daughter\, Joanie\, there is the crushing weight of duty and respectability during the post-war years. Only granddaughter Lottie pulls free and finds the freedom her grandfather and mother were denied. \n\n\n\nLarry’s decision to build The Dolphin sparks events that play out over decades\, tearing one generation apart while bringing another back together. \n\n\n\nWith artfully simple prose\, Susan Clegg invites you to look beyond the surface. Insightful\, understated and finely observed. \n\n\n\nSee more about the book\, and pre-order a signed & dedicated copy\, click here:https://labiblioteka.co/product/the-dolphin/

SUMMARY:Readings of Protest. Charged - How the Police Try to Suppress Protest.
DESCRIPTION:Come and hear protesters from across four decades give readings of what they fought for and how their protests were policed. \n\n\n\nThe UK government’s efforts to suppress dissent in the pursuit of power have given a green light to police to apply more aggressive tactics in managing crowds and protests. The results have provoked violence and even led to officers breaking the law. \n\n\n\nThe authors of Charged\, Matt Foot and Morag Livingstone reveal that in 1983 a Tory home secretary secretly sanctioned police paramilitary powers\, leading 40 years later to a Police Act which seeks to extinguish any effective protest. \n\n\n\nJoin activists and organisers from Sheffield and beyond who come together to share their experiences fighting for their jobs\, the environment\, education and against racism. Giving us insight into their experiences the activists will connect their own struggle to the policing of protest. \n\n\n\nIncluding activists from: \n\n\n\nWarrington Printers dispute 1983The Great Miners’ strike 1984/5 – Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign (OTJC) / Women against Pit ClosuresThe Rotherham 12 who defended their community against racist thugsEnvironmental and global justice activistStudent activist / Disabled People Against Cuts.Chaired by local activist\, Chris Peace. \n\n\n\nCharged How the Police Try to Suppress Protest by Matt Foot and Morag Livingstone (Verso 2022) \n\n\n\n“Brilliantly readable\, it carries you with it every step of the way. One forgets how frightening authority is and the detail on police behaviour is dreadfully shocking and distressing. It never assumes what you might believe or what you might already know and at the end leaves the reader in no doubt as to what has happened in this country.”– Emma Thompson\, actor and activist \n\n\n\n“Meticulously details violent state suppression in the protection of capital; backed by a propaganda machine. Exposed is the unofficial but permanent government with sharp attention to every detail. This is a story of how justice has been repeatedly stolen in this ruthless war against the right to protest. Read every word because you are holding history in your hands. Our history.”– Lowkey\, rapper and activist \n\n\n\n“When you read Charged\, you will see ours is one of many struggles\, past and present.”– Chris Peace\, Tribune \n\n\n\nBooks will be available on the night

SUMMARY:Consumed - Q&A with Aja Barber
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Independent Bookshop Week celebrations\, La Biblioteka is delighted to be hosting an online sit-down between Hannah Wilson of My Indie Wardrobe and Aja Barber\, discussing her book Consumed: The need for Collective Change; Colonialism\, Climate Change & Consumerism.  \n\n\n\nFrom the embedded injustice at the heart of the things we buy\, and how and why we passively accept them\, to how we can become an active agent of change through our purchasing power and self-awareness\, Aja’s book positively enforces compassionate individual agency as the root of global systemic change.  \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to ask Aja a question\, get in touch via Instagram before or during the live event. \n\n\n\nAbout Consumed: \n\n\n\nAja Barber wants change. In the ‘learning’ first half of the book\, she will expose you to the endemic injustices in our consumer industries and the uncomfortable history of the textile industry; one which brokered slavery\, racism and today’s wealth inequality. \n\n\n\nAnd how these oppressive systems have bled into the fashion industry and its lack of diversity and equality. She will also reveal how we spend our money and whose pockets it goes into and whose it doesn’t (clue: the people who do the actual work) and will tell her story of how she came to learn the truth.  \n\n\n\nIn the second ‘unlearning’ half of the book\, she will help you to understand the uncomfortable truth behind why you consume the way you do. \n\n\n\nShe asks you to confront the sense of lack you have\, the feeling that you are never quite enough and the reasons why you fill the aching void with consumption rather than compassion. And she makes you challenge this power disparity\, and take back ownership of it. The less you buy into the consumer culture the more power you have. \n\n\n\nConsumed will teach you how to be a citizen\, not a consumer. \n\n\n\nThis event will be recorded and shared across our social platforms after the event\, as far as rights allow.

SUMMARY:My Name Is Why by Lemn Sissay
DESCRIPTION:Part historical\, part political but most of all – hugely inspirational. \n\n\n\nAcclaimed British author Lemn Sissay OBE – a BAFTA-nominated\, International prize-winning writer\, poet\, playwright and broadcaster – will keep the audience enthralled with this scoop of an event for Sheffield and Migration Matters Festival. \n\n\n\nHe will share his rollercoaster life story and read powerful extracts from his Sunday Times best-selling memoir\, My Name is Why. \n\n\n\nThe book reflects on his childhood in care\, self-expression and Britishness\, and in doing so\, exploring the institutional care system\, race\, family and the meaning of home. \n\n\n\nThis event will also feature a set by Sarah Orola \n\n\n\nThe Land of Many Waters flows through me. My words transcend boundaries and give voice to a nation. Born in Ireland to parents of Nigerian and Guyanese descent has given me a beautiful yet complex insight into my diverse world.My journey of self-awareness is heavily reflected in my poetry. Scribbling my thoughts on paper and bringing those words alive has helped me explore my afro-caribbean identity to share with others.
