Frankfurter Allgeimene Zeitung on
Henning Melber's new book for @hurstpublishers.bsky.social
'a knowledgeable synthesis on the long shadow of #German #colonialism, revealing how amnesia, denial and revisionism continue to determine the way the colonial past is dealt with.'

Danny Dorling’s new book is a stark analysis of #poverty and low incomes in Britain today. The author rightly focuses on families with children & pictures the lives of seven children spanning the range of household incomes.'
