Radical Chains: Why Class Matters launch at Bookhaus

A event held at Bookhaus on Tuesday 27th June. The event starts at 18:00.


At a time of almost unimaginable inequality, the mainstream still tries to ignore class. Radical Chains: Why Class Matters argues that denial of class is no coincidence but in fact central to the system’s survival. Exploring largely ignored histories of struggle and challenging the many myths about class today, Radical Chains puts forward the case that it is time to place class once again at the centre of emancipatory politics.

Chris Nineham is a founder member of the Stop the War Coalition, and currently a vice chair.

He writes for Stop the War and Counterfire and other outlets and appears regularly in the media.
