New books!

A new book order has arrived in time to save you from having to buy your loved ones a pair of socks for Christmas. A selection of titles: The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability by Lierre Keith. “Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you knew about food politics.” Also on the subject of food - Abolish Restaurants: A Worker's Critique of the Food Service Industry by Prole. “A 60-page illustrated guide to the daily misery, stress, boredom, and alienation of restaurant work, as well as the ways restaurant workers fight against it. Drawing on a range of anticapitalist ideas as well as a heaping plate of personal experience, it is part analysis and part call-to-arms.” Sisters of the Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer (Ed). “From the literary heft of Angela Carter to the searing power of Octavia Butler, Sisters of the Revolution gathers d

Left Overs #4 - Prison a serious crime

Image
Prisons - a serious crime This country has one of the highest rates of imprisonment in the world & that statistic doesn't include those serving a non­-prison sentence or waiting for a court appearance. As of 1 st Dec 2014 there were 8,641 people in NZ's prison. That's more than the towns of Foxton, Featherston and Martinborough combined. Of those people in prison, more than half are M āori & a quarter aged under 25. On top of all that, 70% of people imprisoned get another conviction within five years; the justice industry is a revolving system.   We are inviting speakers who have been involved with the prison system to give a short presentation on this theme, followed by general discussion for all. Come along and join in.   When: 7pm, Thursday, 1st October 2015 Where: 17 Tory Street, Wellington (formerly 19 Tory St)   What: Prisons - ­ a serious crime
