Accidental Gods
On Men Unwittingly Turned Divine
A provocative history of race, empire and myth, told through the stories of men who have been worshipped as gods – from Columbus to Prince Philip. Spanning the globe and five centuries, Accidental Gods introduces us to a new pantheon of mangods: deified politicians and imperialists, mystics, militants and explorers. From Haile Selassie, elevated from emperor to messiah, to the unlikely officers hailed as gods during the British Raj, this fascinating book chronicles a deifying impulse as old as time.

The Lobster’s Shell Caroline Albertine Minor
Translated from the Danish by Caroline Waight
From a rising star of European literature: a sharp-eyed, witty novel of budding desires, persistent ghosts and frayed family ties. Siblings Sidsel, Ea and Niels have drifted apart, retreating in order to protect their most vulnerable parts. But Sidsel’s work trip to London, site of past transgressions, and Ea’s chance visit to a San Francisco clairvoyant – seeking contact with their late mother – force the trio to reckon with their shared history.

Ranging from the 1950s and 1960s black music which Jefferson loved to conflicts over what the black female body could or should be, reframing artists from Harriet Beecher Stowe and Willa Cather to Josephine Baker and Kara Walker, this breathtakingly eloquent account is both critique and vindication of the constructed self.

I stand in front of it, feet placed firmly on the ground, a clear separation and distance between the imagined world inside the painting and the reality I inhabit. The threshold of the frame is first threatened by the tilted stage and the fear that a pile of bodies might collapse into the Louvre, water flooding the museum. Then the movement reverses and the painting opens up and wraps itself around me.

A scintillating, richly peopled, impeccably researched history of the New York coastal enclave that became an iconic site of queer liberation. Fire Island: a thin strip of land that, since the early twentieth century, has been a place of hedonism and liberation. From Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde to the ‘chosen families’ of the interwar avant-garde, from W. H. Auden, Frank O’Hara and James Baldwin to Patricia Highsmith and Carson McCullers: Parlett, combining social history with personal memoir, charts the island’s story through the writers, artists and activists who found release and revolution on its shores.

Will Alexander
Moving from poems on Amos Tutuola and JeanJoseph Rabearivelo to the historical atrocities of the Congo, Refractive Africa is incantatory, cosmological verse. Colonial histories and instances of ecological damage and negligence are foregrounded to become metaphor for the pillaging and dislocation of societies through history in this incendiary work. In Alexander’s signature address, he traces lineages between citizens and the idea of ‘aboriginal drift’ as a kind of miasmic approach to black history.

Unintentional bias is one of the great social problems of our time; its effects are corrosive, even lethal. But it can be overcome. Here’s how.

Pathbreaking, inspiring, indispensable, with clarity and humanity this book lights the way forward.
