How genocide is being ‘normalised’
Mike Phipps reviews The New Age of Genocide, by Martin Shaw, published by Agenda. This book addresses not only the concept of genocide but its return to a central place in world politics. It explores both the West’s failure to prevent genocide, and, in the case of Palestine, its active complicity in it. But Shaw is no campist, blind to the genocidal aspects of other imperial wars.

Spotted! Debt Trap Nation in Manchester Waterstones.
Particularly pleasing with the majority of families in the book living in Greater Manchester.
And featured in the British History section. What a damning history it will tell about how children and their families have been treated.
