The judges for the 2025 Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing are delighted to announce the 2025 shortlist! breadandrosesprize.wordpress.com/2025/07/24/b...
the shortlisted books for the Bread and Roses Award are seen in a pile: Pleasure Gardens, Shoulder to Shoulder, Race and Education, Intervals, Everything to Play For, Seven Children, Poor Artists and Defiance. Above them, a quote from Meera Ghanshamdas, Chair of Judges, reads "This is my second year working on the Bread and Roses award, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences that I have had while working in books. The titles chosen for this year by our tremendous panel of judges are at the forefront of radical political conversation within their field, approaching their subject matter with nuance and sensitivity." Below the quote is the logo for the Alliance of Radical Booksellers, which consists of black, red, green and purple triangles. In front of Lighthouse Bookshop, which has a green wall on which is written "Look after each other", stands Mairi, Lighthouse's owner. Mairi has short ginger hair and is wearing a stripy top, and Mairi is holding the shortlisted books for the Bread and Roses Award: Pleasure Gardens, Shoulder to Shoulder, Race and Education, Intervals, Everything to Play For, Seven Children, Poor Artists and Defiance. In the upper right-hand corner is the logo for the Alliance of Radical Booksellers, which consists of black, red, green and purple triangles.

The book cover of Unsuitable: A History of Lesbian Fashion by Eleanor Medhurst. The title is in bold pink text on a purple background. The central image is a black-and-white historical photo of a lively lesbian social scene, with women dressed in suits and glamorous dresses, many of them embracing or kissing. Below the photo is a pink banner with the subtitle and author's name in purple and blue text. The background behind the book cover is black and pink with rose stencil motifs. The book cover of Seven Children: Inequality and Britain’s Next Generation by Danny Dorling. The title is in bold blue and red text on a cream background. To the right, a series of ascending blue bars form a bar chart, with children climbing or sitting on the bars to symbolise inequality and progression. The background behind the book cover is pink and black, with faint pink stencil-style rose motifs on the black sections.
