More DescriptionSwift Volume One - Colour Edition (Swift budget black and white edition available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Swift-One-1-Leanne-Warren/dp/B08KQY7VLZ )Swift Volume One is the inaugural edition of a new arts and politics publication aimed at speaking out against the rise of fascism in the UK and our populist government. Founder Leanne Warren has worked with a collaborative of artists, photographers, bloggers, writers, poets and academics (The Swift Collaborative) to create this bi-annual publication. Featured contributors include anti-fascist historian Dr Louise Raw, historian of empire Paddy Docherty and composer Dr Richard Norris. Swift Volume One touches on the dangers of a no-deal Brexit, the links between fascism and misogyny, parallels between Brexit and fascism, government corruption, experiences of racism, BLM protests, mental health, living in lockdown with Covid-19, beautiful poetry art, and photography, as well as inspiring activists who we hope might inspire to use your voice to speak out against what is happening in the UK. This protest publication is available in a full colour or a budget black and white version and will also be available as an ebook.List of contents & contributors:
