The book review discusses "Labour Revolt in Britain 1910-1914" by Ralph Darlington, which examines the labor movement during that time period. It emphasizes the success of the labor revolt and its impact on the Labour Party, as well as the role of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and its support for strikes and syndicalist ideas. The review suggests that the ILP played a significant role in grassroots activism and electoral strategies. It also explores the influence of syndicalism in the labor movement, particularly in South Wales. The text provides a comprehensive analysis of the labor revolt and its political implications, calling for further research on the subject. [Extracted from the article]

Defining such attempts to segregate Black workers and citizens as whiteness riots, Charnley and Richmond powerfully demonstrate how racist street violence is neither extemporary nor irrational. In I Fractured i , Alex Charnley and Michael Richmond take up the daunting task of explaining it all for the layperson. In other words, by revisiting Black feminist analyses of class struggles and politics, Charnley and Richmond remind us all that identity politics are fundamentally about envisioning an identity of purpose that can sustain concrete practices of solidarity across multiple struggles against all forms of oppression; class I in primis i .

The landmark book seriesSlott och herresäten i Sverige(transl.Castles and Manor Houses in Sweden), published in 1966–1971 by Allhems förlag, is still today considered the most important art historical reference work on Swedish manor buildings and country houses. The 18 volumes seem to present a near complete picture of the nation's rich heritage of manor buildings, combining the comprehensive and topographically organized guide book with the thoroughness of the architectural monograph. This paper will address the more problematic aspects of the book series, its critical role in the writing of a Swedish architectural history and in shaping a national country house narrative. While each volume provides an authoritative and concise overview of the history, ownership and stylistic development of the most significant manor buildings in the province – their architecture, interiors, gardens and collections – the presentation with its general descriptions, formal analysis and neutral tone omits a more in-depth analysis of these complex environments as well as underlying social, political and economic aspects. The descriptions have, in a sense, been working against the depth of historical understanding and the identification of more complex networks. As a consequence, the Swedish manor house is presented as a continuous and self-contained “treasure house”, with the critical perspectives and broader European context very seldom present in the characterizations.

This paper explores Virdee’s account of how racialized minorities in socialist movements ‘played an instrumental role in trying to align struggles against racism with those against class exploitation’ (p. 164). In so doing, Virdee makes an important intervention at a time when popular historians and other ideologues are colluding in the elevation of myths and – no doubt in their view – noble lies that preclude these stories. Moving through theoretical debates concerning the relationships between race and class, the nature and form of sociologies of ‘outsiders’, to political issues of mobilization, Virdee’s book successfully brings in from the margins an account the multi-ethnic character of the working class in England from the very moment of its inception.

It is also essential to Bohart's understanding of psychotherapy, whether it is its radical nature that he explores, the client as therapist, or how he conceptualizes integrative work. I admit to experiencing some nostalgia reading this book, as Barbara Brodley suggested a number of years back that I get in touch with Art Bohart to see if he would write a chapter for a book I was editing. The Art of Bohart: person-centred therapy and the enhancement of human possibility: by Arthur C. Bohart, Monmouth, UK, PCCS Books, 2021, 210 pp., £17.99 (paperback), ISBN 9781910919798.
