This Sunday’s Revolution! event at SOAS in central London brings together leading authors and activists from Britain and abroad in discussions about the challenges we face
Everyone is debating key issues at the moment.
These include how to explain the West’s continued support for Israel; the role of the Israel lobby; the relationship between capitalism and imperialism; the nature of the far right and the kind of strategy needed by the movement.
All of these questions will be analysed at Revolution! As we move into the second year of this phase of struggle, clarity could hardly be more important.
Book now and spread the word.
