Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Duty to Stand Aside tells the story of one of the most intriguing yet little-known literary-political feuds - and friendships - in 20th-century English literature. It examines the arguments that divided George Orwell and Alex Comfort during WWII.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Transformative justice seeks to solve the problem of violence at the grassroots level, without relying on punishment, incarceration, or policing. Community-based approaches to preventing crime and repairing its damage have existed for centuries.

Beyond Survival puts these strategies front and centre as real alternatives to today s failed models of confinement and 'correction'.

They use a variety of forms - from toolkits to personal essays - to delve deeply into the 'how to' of transformative justice, providing alternatives to calling the police, ways to support people having mental health crises, stories of community based murder investigations, and much more. At the same time, they document the history of this radical movement, creating space for long-time organisers to reflect on victories, struggles, mistakes, and transformations.…
