The Bread and Roses Award is a book prize with a difference: presented by the Alliance of Radical Booksellers, and without the backing of corporate sponsors, the award seeks to recognise and celebrate excellence in the field of radical political non-fiction. Find out more at breadandrosesprize.wordpress.com.

Taking part in the ceremony and introducing their books will be shortlisted authors:

Becky Alexis-Martin (Disarming Doomsday)

Kate Charlesworth (Sensible Footwear)

Priyamvada Gopal (Insurgent Empire)

Ruth Kinna (The Government of No One)

Johny Pitts (Afropean)

Frances Ryan (Crippled) – represented by senior editor at Verso Leo Hollis 

They will be joined by our guest judges: previous Bread & Roses winners Helena Earnshaw, Angharad Penrhyn Jones, and Hsiao-Hung Pai.

The event will be hosted by Ross Bradshaw of Five Leaves Bookshop.

The event is free; to register and receive a link, email events@fiveleaves.co.uk.
