The truth behind the ricin plot and trial

Ricin!
The Inside Story of the
Terror Plot That Never Was
Lawrence Archer and Fiona Bawdon
Foreword by Michael Mansfield QC
In January 2003, the British media splashed the news that anti-
terror police had disrupted an Al-Qaeda cell, poised to unleash
the deadly poison ricin on the capital. Police had reportedly
found traces of ricin, as well as a panoply of bomb and poison-
making equipment in the cell’s ‘factory of death’ – a shabby flat in
north London. ‘This danger is present and real, and with us now’
announced prime minister Tony Blair.
But, when the ‘ricin plot’ came to trial at the Old Bailey,
a very different story emerged: there was no ricin and no
sophisticated plot. Rarely has a legal case been so shamelessly
distorted by government, media and security forces to push their
own ‘tough on terror’ agendas. In this meticulously researched
and compellingly written book, Lawrence Archer, the jury foreman october 2010
at the trial, and journalist Fiona Bawdon, give the definitive story 224pp 198mm x 129mm
of the ricin plot, the trial and its aftermath. 12 photographs

Out of the Frame
The Struggle for Academic
Freedom in Israel
Ilan Pappe
Even before he wrote his bestselling book The Ethnic Cleansing
of Palestine, historian Ilan Pappe was a controversial figure in
Israel. In Out of the Frame, he gives a full account of his break
with mainstream Israeli scholarship and its consequences.
Growing up in a conventional Israeli community influenced by
the utopian visions of Theodor Herzl, Pappe was barely aware of
the Nakbah in his high school years. Here he traces his journey
of discovery from the whispers of Palestinian classmates to his
realisation that the ‘enemy’s’ narrative of the events of 1948 was
correct. After completing his thesis at Oxford University based on
recently declassified documents in the early 1980s, he returned
to Palestine determined to protect the memory of the Nakbah
and struggle for the rectification of its evils. For the first time he
gives the details of the formidable opposition he faced in Israel,
including death threats fed by the media, denunciations by the
Knesset and calls for him to be sacked from his post at Haifa
University.
This revealing work, written with dignity and humour,
highlights Israel’s difficulty in facing up to its past and forging a
peaceful, inclusive future in Palestine.
Ilan Pappe is a Professor in the Institute for Arab and Islamic
Studies at the University of Exeter, the Director of the European
Centre for Palestine Studies in Exeter and the Co-Director of the
Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies. He was the academic head
and founder of the Institute for Peace Studies in Givat Haviva, Israel
(1992-2000) and the Chair of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian
Studies in Haifa (2000-2008). His recent books include The Ethnic
Cleansing of Palestine (2006) and The Modern Middle East (2005).

The Art of Resistance in Palestine

This stunning book of photos captures the graffiti and art that has

Featuring the work of artists including Banksy, Ron English,
Blu and others, as well as Palestinian artists and activists, these
photos express outrage, compassion, and touching humour.
They illustrate the wall’s toll on lives and livelihoods, showing
the hardship it has brought to tens of thousands of people,
preventing their access to work, education and vital medical care.
Mixed with the photos are portraits and vignettes, offering a

Voices from the
Other Side
An Oral History of Terrorism
Against Cuba
Keith Bolender
Introduction by Noam Chomsky
Since the early 1960s, few other countries have endured more
acts of terrorism against civilian targets than Cuba, and the US
has had its hand in much of it. This book gives a voice to the
victims.
Keith Bolender brings to bear the enormous impact that
terrorism has had on Cuba’s civilian population, with over 1,000
documented incidents resulting in more than 3,000 deaths
and 2,000 injuries. Bolender allows the victims to articulate
the atrocities the Cuban people have suffered - which largely
originate from Cuban counter-revolutionaries based in the US,
often with the active help of the CIA.
Voices from the Other Side includes first-person interviews
with more than 75 Cuban citizens who have been victims
of these terrorist acts, or have had family members or close
friends die from the attacks. It is a unique resource for activists,
journalists and students interested in Cuba’s torrid relationship
with the US.
Keith Bolender is a freelance journalist who worked for more
than 10 years with the Toronto Star. He has written extensively on
Cuban matters for a variety of North American publications. He is a
member of the Institute for Public Accuracy (IPA) on their Roster of
Experts for Cuban Affairs. He currently lectures at the University of
Toronto School of Continuing Studies on American Foreign Policy and
the Cuba Revolution.

A User’s Guide to the

Crisis of Civilisation
And How to Save It
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
It often seems that different crises are competing to devastate
civilisation. This book argues that financial meltdown, dwindling
oil reserves, terrorism and food shortages need to be considered
as part of the same ailing system.
Most accounts of our contemporary global crises such as
climate change, or the threat of terrorism, focus on one area, or
another, to the exclusion of others. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
argues that the unwillingness of experts to look outside their
own fields explains why there is so much disagreement and
misunderstanding about particular crises. This book attempts
to investigate all of these crises, not as isolated events, but as
trends and processes that belong to a single global system.
We are therefore not dealing with a ‘clash of civilisations’, as
Huntington argued. Rather, we are dealing with a fundamental July 2010

Staying Power
The History of Black People
in Britain
Peter Fryer
Foreword by Paul Gilroy
Staying Power is recognised as the definitive history of black
people in Britain, an epic story that begins with the Roman
conquest and continues to this day.
In a comprehensive account, Peter Fryer reveals how
Africans, Asians and their descendants, previously hidden from
history, have profoundly influenced and shaped events in Britain
over the course of the last two thousand years.

explaining the genesis of the book and its continuing significance
in black history today.

reported the events of the 1956 Hungarian revolution, going against
his paper and party’s Stalinist line. For this he was awarded the
Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary,
who recognised his ‘continuous support of the Hungarian revolution
and freedom fight’. Disillusioned with party politics he turned to
researching black history and music, producing Staying Power (Pluto,
1984) and Rhythms of Resistance (Pluto, 2000). He died in 2006.

Change the World

Without Taking Power
The Meaning of Revolution Today
John Holloway
This new edition of John Holloway’s contemporary classic,
Change the World Without Taking Power includes a new
preface by the author.
The wave of political demonstrations since the Battle of
Seattle in 2001 have crystallised a new trend in left-wing politics.
Modern protest movements are grounding their actions in both
Marxism and Anarchism, fighting for radical social change in
terms that have nothing to do with the taking of state power. This
is in clear opposition to the traditional Marxist theory of revolution
which centres on the overthrow of government. In this book, John
Holloway asks how we can reformulate our understanding of
revolution as the struggle against power, not for power.
After a century of failed attempts by revolutionary and
reformist movements to bring about radical social change, the
concept of revolution itself is in crisis. John Holloway opens up
September 2010
the theoretical debate, reposing some of the basic concepts 296pp 215mm x 135mm

tradition represented by Adorno, Bloch and Lukacs, amongst
others, and grounded in a rethinking of Marx’s concept of
‘fetishisation’ – how doing is transformed into being.

Socialism Or
Barbarism?
Selected Writings
Rosa Luxemburg, edited by Paul Le Blanc
and Helen C. Scott
Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was one of the most brilliant and
passionate minds drawn to the revolutionary socialist movement.
An outstanding social and economic theorist of the twentieth
century, and a dedicated political activist, she proved willing to
go to prison and even give her life for her beliefs.
Providing an extensive overview of her writings, this volume
contains a number of items never before anthologised. Her
work was broad in scope tackling capitalism and socialism;
globalisation and imperialism; history; war and peace; social
struggles, trade unions, political parties; class, gender, race; the
interconnection of humanity with the natural environment. The
editors provide an extensive and informative introduction outlining
and evaluating her life and thought.
This is the most comprehensive introduction to the range of
Rosa Luxemburg’s thought.
Paul Le Blanc is Professor of History at La Roche College,
Pittsburgh. He is the author of Marx, Lenin and the Revolutionary
Experience (2006), A Short History of the US Working Class (1999) and
editor of Revolution, Democracy, Socialism (Pluto Press, 2008).

 Hollywood: Doing its bit for US imperialism

Reel Power
Hollywood Cinema and
American Supremacy
Matthew Alford
Foreword by Michael Parenti
Hollywood is often characterised as a stronghold of left-liberal
ideals. In Reel Power, Matthew Alford shows that it is in fact
deeply complicit in serving the interests of the most regressive
US corporate and political forces.
Films like Transformers, Terminator: Salvation and Black
Hawk Down are constructed with Defence Department
assistance as explicit cheerleaders for the US military, but
Matthew Alford also emphasises how so-called ‘radical’ films
like Three Kings, Hotel Rwanda and Avatar present watered-
down alternative visions of American politics that serve a similar
function.
Reel Power is the first book to examine the internal workings
of contemporary Hollywood as a politicised industry as well
as looking at scores of films across all genres. No matter what

Dark Matter
Art and Politics in the Age of Enterprise
Culture
Gregory Sholette
Marxism and Culture

Art is big business, with some artists able to command huge

sums of money for their works, while the vast majority are
ignored or dismissed by critics. Gregory Sholette shows that
these marginalised artists, the ‘dark matter’ of the art world,
are essential to the survival of the mainstream and that they
frequently organise in opposition to it.
Sholette argues that imagination and creativity in the art
world originate in the non-commercial sector shut off from
prestigious galleries and champagne receptions. This broader
creative culture feeds the mainstream with new forms and styles
that can be commodified and used to sustain the few artists
admitted into the elite.

 How Roman imperialism became the prototype
for later empires

The Roman Empire

Roots of Imperialism
Neville Morley
A millennium and a half after the end of the period of its
unquestioned dominance, Rome remains a significant presence
in western culture. This book explores what the empire meant to
its subjects.
The idea of Rome has long outlived the physical empire
that gave it form, and now holds sway over vastly more people
and a far greater geographical area than the Romans ever
ruled. It continues to shape our understanding of the nature of
imperialism, and thus, however subtly, to influence the workings
of the world. Unlike most works on Roman history, this book
does not offer a simplistic narrative, with military triumph followed
by decline and fall. Instead, it analyses the origins and nature
of Roman imperialism, its economic, social and cultural impact
on the regions it conquered, and its continuing influence in
discussions and debates about modern imperialism.
Elegantly written, this book is perfect for students of classics
June 2010 and ancient history who want to see another side of the Roman

Hobsbawm
History and Politics
Gregory Elliott
Historian Eric Hobsbawm is possibly the foremost chronicler
of the modern age. His panoramic studies of the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries, stretching from the French Revolution
to the fall of Soviet communism, have informed the historical
consciousness of scholars and general readers alike. At the same
time, his writings on labour movements and socialist politics have
occupied a central place in left-wing debates. Despite this, no
extended study of Hobsbawm’s work has yet been attempted.
Gregory Elliott fills this gap in exemplary fashion.
Elliott analyses both the scholarly record of Hobsbawm and
the intellectual and political journey that his life represents. In
doing so, he seeks to situate Hobsbawm’s thought within the
context of a generalised crisis of confidence on the Left after the
fall of the Berlin Wall.
Rich in content and written in Elliott’s authoritative and highly
readable style, this book is a must for anyone with an interest in
Hobsbawm and the crisis of the Left. October 2010

Ideologies in the Age of

Extremes
Liberalism, Conservatism, Communism,
Fascism 1914 – 1991
Willie Thompson
This is a history of political ideologies during the period famously
described by Eric Hobsbawn as ‘The Age of Extremes’ – from the
First World War to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Ideologies in the Age of Extremes introduces the key
ideologies of the age; liberalism, conservatism, communism and
fascism. Willie Thompson identifies the political influence of mass
movements as a key feature. He uses a powerful approach that
considers the different ideologies in relation to each other. This
allows him to show that they often emerged from a common root
or merged into a common future, stealing each other’s clothes
and reinventing themselves as the stark opposite of a competing
ideology.
This sophisticated yet accessible analysis will be of great

The Rise of the
Green Left
Inside the Worldwide Ecosocialist
Movement
Derek Wall
Foreword by Hugo Blanco
Climate change and other ecological ills are driving the creation
of a grassroots global movement for change. From Latin
American to Europe, Australia and China a militant movement
merging red and green is taking shape.
Ecosocialists argue that capitalism threatens the future of
humanity and the rest of nature. From indigenous protest in the
Peruvian Amazon to the green transition in Cuba to the creation
of red-green parties in Europe, ecosocialism is defining the future
of left and green politics globally. Latin American leaders such as
Morales and Chavez are increasingly calling for an ecosocialist
transition.
Drawing on the work of key thinkers such as Joel Kovel and
John Bellamy Foster, Derek Wall provides an unique insider view
of how ecosocialism has developed and a practical guide to
focused ecosocialist action. A great handbook for activists and
engaged students of politics.
Derek Wall teaches Political Economy at Goldsmiths College,
University of London. He is the author of Babylon and Beyond (2005).
A Better Ireland
Arguments for a New Republic
Eoin Ó Broin
Is a better Ireland possible? Can progressive social and political
forces in Ireland, north and south, unite around a common
programme for democratic reform, social justice and economic
equality? Could such an alliance for change secure popular
support?
Eoin Ó Broin explores these questions, providing a radical
political, economic and social critique of Ireland, north and south
in the 1990s and 2000s. He makes an honest assessment of the
obstacles to building a national alliance for change, and maps
out a detailed set of political, economic and social alternatives for
Ireland in the twenty-first century.
This book will be a valuable tool for activists and analysts
with an interest in the future of Irish politics.
Eoin Ó Broin is a writer and policy analyst based in Dublin. He
has been a Sinn Féin activist for fifteen years, He is the Chairperson
of Dublin Sinn Féin, a member of the partys Ard Comhairle. He writes
a regular column for An Phoblacht and is the author of Sinn Féin and

Europe’s Alliance with
Israel
Aiding the Occupation
David Cronin
In carefully crafted official statements, the European Union
presents itself as an honest broker in the Middle East. In reality,
however, the EU’s 27 governments have been engaged in a long
process of accommodating Israel’s occupation of Palestinian
territories.
Journalist David Cronin interrogates the relationship and its
outcomes. A recent agreement for ‘more intense, more fruitful,
more influential co-operation’ between the EU and Israel has
meant that Israel has become a member state of the Union in all
but name. Cronin shows that rather than using this relationship to
encourage Israeli restraint, the EU has legitimised actions such
as the ill-treatment of prisoners and the Gaza invasion.
Concluding his revealing and shocking account, Cronin calls
for a continuation and deepening of international activism and
protest to halt the EU’s slide into complicity.

 Series: Anthropology, Culture and Society

Anthropology’s World
Life in a Twenty-first Century Discipline
Ulf Hannerz
In this masterly, state of the art work, Ulf Hannerz maps the
contemporary social world of anthropologists and its relation to
the wider world in which they carry out their work.
Raising fundamental questions such as ‘What is
anthropology really about?’, ‘How does the public understand,
or misunderstand, anthropology?’ and ‘What and where do
anthropologists study now, and for whom do they write?’
Hannerz invites anthropologists to think again about where their
discipline is going.
Full of insights and practical advice from Hannerz’s long
experience at the top of the discipline, this book is essential
for all anthropologists who want their discipline to survive and
develop in a volatile world, and contribute to new understandings
of its ever-changing diversity and interconnections.

Small Places,
Large Issues
An Introduction to Social and Cultural
Anthropology
Thomas Hylland Eriksen
This concise introduction to social and cultural anthropology has
become a modern classic, revealing the rich global variation in
social life and culture.
The text provides a clear overview of anthropology, focusing
on central topics such as kinship, ethnicity, ritual and political
systems, offering a wealth of examples that demonstrate the
enormous scope of anthropology and the importance of a
comparative perspective. Unlike other texts on the subject, Small
Places, Large Issues incorporates the anthropology of complex
modern societies. Using reviews of key monographs to illustrate
his argument, Eriksen’s lucid and accessible text remains an
established introductory text in anthropology.

Ethnicity and
Nationalism
Anthropological Perspectives
Thomas Hylland Eriksen
Ethnicity and nationalism are pervasive features of the
contemporary world, but how far is ethnicity a result of cultural
differences, and how much is it in fact dependent on the practical
use of, and belief in, such differences? In this book, Thomas
Hylland Eriksen demonstrates that far from being an immutable
property of groups, ethnicity is a dynamic and shifting aspect
of social relationships. Drawing on a wide range of classic and
recent studies in anthropology and sociology, Eriksen examines the
relationship between ethnicity, class, gender and nationhood and
more in a lucid and comprehensive manner.
The new edition of this core text is indispensable to anyone
seriously interested in understanding ethnic phenomena. New
topics covered include cultural property rights, the role of genetics
in the public understanding of identification, commercialisation of
identity, and the significance of the internet.

The Dying Sahara
US Imperialism and Terror in Africa
Jeremy Keenan
In The Dark Sahara (Pluto Press, 2009), Jeremy Keenan exposed
the collusion between the US and Algeria in fabricating ‘false
flag’ terrorism to justify the launch of a new ‘Saharan front’ in
Washington’s War on Terror. In this new book, he reveals how
the Pentagon’s designation of the region as a ‘Terror Zone’ has
destroyed the lives and livelihoods of thousands of innocent
people.
Beginning in 2004, with what local people called the US
‘invasion’ of the Sahel, The Dying Sahara shows how repressive,
authoritarian regimes, cashing in on US terrorism ‘rents’,
provoked Tuareg rebellions in both Niger and Mali.
Keenan’s chillingly detailed research shows that the US and
its new African command (AFRICOM), far from bringing security,
peace and development, have created a self-fulfilling prophecy of
terror and instability in a region the size of western Europe.
Jeremy Keenan is a Professorial Research Associate at the
School of Oriental and African Studies. He is a consultant to the UN
and other international organisations.
Understanding the
Somalia Conflagration
Identity, Islam and Peacebuilding
Afyare Abdi Elmi
Somalia has been devastated by a US-backed Ethiopian invasion
and years of civil war, and it has long been without a central
government. Against this background of violence, Somali-born
Afyare Abdi Elmi attempts to find a peace-building consensus.
Somalia is a failed state and a Muslim state. This combination
means the West assumes that it will become a breeding ground
for extremism. The country regularly hits the headlines as a
piracy hotspot. This combination of internal division and outside
interference makes for an intensely hostile landscape. Elmi
shows that only by going to the roots of the conflict can the long
process of peace begin. He highlights clan identities, Islam and
other countries in the region as the key elements in any peace-
building effort.
This unique account from an author who truly understands
Somalia should be required reading for students and academics
of international relations and peace / conflict studies.
Afyare Abdi Elmi teaches at the Department of International
Affairs at Qatar University.
The Contemporary
Arab Reader on
Political Islam
Edited and with an Introduction and a
Bibliography by Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi’
Contemporary Islamism is a complex notion, encompassing a
constellation of social, political, religious and ideological ideas
that have evolved over the past 200 years. These ideas have
dramatically shaped modern and contemporary Arab societies,
but they are little understood in the West.
The Contemporary Arab Reader on Political Islam corrects
this at a stroke. It brings together the writings of highly influential
figures in the field of Islamism in the contemporary Arab world,
many of whose writings have never been available before in
English. Addressing key issues such as Shari’ah, human rights
and the impact of the West on the modern Arab world, this is
the perfect starting point for students and academics looking to
understand Political Islam in contemporary Arab societies.

The Cuban Revolution in

the 21st Century
George Lambie
While most books and articles on Cuba seek to analyse the
island’s socialist experiment from the perspective of internal
dynamics or international relations, this book attempts to
understand the revolutionary process as part of a counter-current
against neoliberal globalisation.
Rather than presenting Cuba as a socialist survivor, whose
performance must be measured against the standards set by
the ‘international community’, George Lambie judges Cuban
socialism on the goals which the revolution sets for itself. He
shows that despite Cuba’s isolation in the ‘New World Order’, and
the enormous pressures it has faced to ‘conform’, its faith in an
alternative socialist project has continued and grown.
Now that neoliberalism is in crisis, Cuba’s promotion of
socialist values is finding a renewed relevance. In this fascinating
study Lambie argues that Cuba is again becoming a symbol, and
practical example, of socialism in action. This book is essential
reading for students of politics and Latin American studies. October 2010

in Palestine
A History of Hope and Empowerment
Mazin B. Qumsiyeh
Palestinian resistance is thought by many people to consist
entirely of terrorist attacks, but in reality suicide bombs and
rocket attacks are the exception to what is a creative and

Qumsiyeh synthesises data from hundreds of original sources
to provide the most comprehensive study of civil resistance in
Palestine.
The book contains hundreds of stories of the heroic and
highly innovative methods of resistance employed by the
Palestinians over more than 100 years. The author also analyses
the successes, failures, missed opportunities and challenges
facing ordinary Palestinians as they struggle for freedom against
incredible odds. This is the only book to study critically and
comparatively the uprisings of 1920-21, 1929, 1936-39, the
1970s, 1987-91 and 2000-06.
The compelling human stories told in this book will inspire

The Political Economy
of Israel’s Occupation
Repression Beyond Exploitation
Shir Hever
The Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories since 1967
has many important economic aspects that are often overlooked.
In this highly original book, Shir Hever shows that understanding
the economic dimensions of the occupation is crucial to
unravelling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Hever rejects the premise that Israel keeps control over
Palestinian territories for material gain, and also the premise
that Israel is merely defending itself from Palestinian aggression.
Instead, he argues that the occupation has reached an impasse,
with the Palestinian resistance making exploitation of the
Palestinians by Israeli business interests difficult, but with the
Israeli authorities reluctant to give up control.
With traditional economic analysis failing to explain this
turn of events, this book will be invaluable for students, activists
and journalists struggling to make sense of the complex issues

An Israeli in Palestine
Resisting Dispossession,
Redeeming Israel
Jeff Halper
Israeli anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper throws a harsh
light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the point of view of
a critical insider. While the Zionist founders of Israel created a
vibrant society, culture and economy, they did so at a high price:
Israel could not maintain its exclusive Jewish character without
imposing on the country’s Palestinian population policies of
ethnic cleansing, occupation, discrimination and the demolition of
thousands of Palestinian homes.
An Israeli in Palestine records Halper’s journey ‘beyond
the membrane’ that shields his people from the harsh realities
of Palestinian life to his ‘discovery’ that he was actually living in
another country: Palestine. Without dismissing the legitimacy
of his own country, he realises that Israel is defined by its
oppressive relationship to the Palestinians.

Marx’s ‘Capital’
Ben Fine and Alfredo Saad-Filho
This brilliantly concise book is a classic introduction to Marx’s
key work, Capital. In print now for over a quarter of a century,
and previously translated into many languages, the new edition
has been fully revised and updated, making it an ideal modern
introduction to one of the most important texts in political
economy.
The authors cover all central aspects of Marx’s economics.
They explain the structure of Marx’s analysis and the meaning of
the key categories in Capital, showing the internal coherence of
Marx’s approach. Marx’s method and terminology are explored
in detail, with supporting examples. Short chapters enable the
meaning and significance of Marx’s main concepts to be grasped
rapidly, making it a practical text for all students of social science.
Discussing Capital’s relevance today, the authors consider
Marx’s impact on economics, philosophy, history, politics and
other social sciences. Keeping abstract theorising to a minimum,
this readable introduction highlights the continuing relevance
of Marx’s ideas in the light of the problems of contemporary
capitalism.

Neoliberal globalisation is lauded by some as a tool for spreading

conflict and war. This book challenges both views.
This book studies the effect of neoliberalism on violent
conflict and war-making. The sophisticated analysis includes
statistical work and a set of qualitative case studies from Latin
America and sub-Saharan Africa. The findings demonstrate that
the shift to neoliberal policies has produced widely diverging
outcomes in different contexts.
