ANDREW WATSON: THE WORLD’S FIRST BLACK FOOTBALL SUPERSTAR Talburt, Tony
Today, seeing Black footballers playing the game at the very highest level is considered very normal. This, certainly, was not the case one hundred and forty years ago, and this is what makes the story of Andrew Watson so remarkable. It seems hard to imagine that a Guyaneseborn Black man could head the Scottish national football team in 1881 in a game against England. Not only was he captain, but he also led them to a 6-1 victory in London - an achievement that still ranks as England’s heaviest ever defeat on home soil. KEY SELLING POINTS • During the 1870s and 1880s, when Watson played, he was regarded as one of the finest players in Britain. • Reflects upon the legend, legacy and pioneering endeavours of a great Black British football superstar. • Watson was the world’s first Black football administrator and the first player to win three national cup winners’ trophi • Wide audience and perfect for those interested in football, sport, black history, cultural studies and biographies.

He vividly conjures Scholem’s upbringing in Berlin, and compellingly brings to life Scholem’s transformative friendship with Walter Benjamin, the critic and philosopher. In doing so, he reveals how Scholem’s frustration with the bourgeois ideology of Germany during the First World War led him to discover Judaism, Kabbalah, and finally Zionism, as potent counter-forces to Europe’s suicidal nationalism. KEY SELLING POINTS • Strong Jewish interest in this examination of the life of one of the leaders of Jewish religious thought. • Popular interest in the Kabbalah as popularized by celebrities such as Madonna or Mick Jagger. • A look at Israel and the issues of its creation through the dual perspectives of the young Scholem and the modern author.

A tide of racism, nationalism, and authoritarianism is sweeping the world: from Donald Trump in the United States to Marine Le Pen in France, from Nigel Farage in Britain to Norbert Hofer in Austria. With the world economy hobbled by debt and stagnation, society being torn apart by austerity and inequality, and a political system paralysed by corporate power, support for the Far Right is surging. This book is an urgent call to arms. It seeks to rally the Left around a vital historic task: the immediate building of an international mass movement to stop the rise of fascism. KEY SELLING POINTS • Argues that we face the clear and present danger of ‘creeping fascism’. • An urgent call to arms to stop the rise of fascism while there is still time. • Author is a well-known activist, archeologist and writer.

FREE MOVEMENT AND BEYOND: AGENDA SETTING FOR BREXIT BRITAIN Hudson, Kate (ed.)
This edited collection draws together the current thinking of many of Britain’s most prominent ‘critical Remainers’ - those who argued to remain within the European Union while seeking its democratic and progressive transformation. Seeking to contribute to the policy agenda for the Brexit process, the contributors centrally address the controversial issue of free movement of people, defending it as central to Britain’s economic success and as an advance for the working class across Europe; myths that blame migration for economic woes are debunked and racism that such myths cause is condemned. KEY SELLING POINTS • A collection drawing together the current thinking of Britain’s ‘critical Remainers’. • An essential resource for Brexit Britain. • Contirbutors include: Diane Abbott MP, Yanis Varoufakis, Caroline Lucas MP, Mary Kaldor, Marina Prentoulis and more.
