"Welcome to Spokesman BooksThis site is now closed for placing ORDERS but ok for browsing,Our new website is at spokesmanbooks.orgPeople's Republic of South YorkshireBy Helen JackonPublished on 1st May 2021. Click here to pre-order This is the story of how class solidarity translated into creative and radical local initiative, with fairness at its core, during the 1970s and 1980s. Contributors took the experience into their later work, lives and careers. Helen Jackson was one of them.The author's historical and political narrative merges with her own reflections as a woman in politics, so that we see how political action delivers change and understanding at an individual as well as a societal level.Focused on the local and regional, the memoir holds wider lessons for national and global politics. Valuing women's contribution to work, welfare and care in the community delivers sound economic results, especially when it is linked with ready access to lifelong learning through adult education.Solidarity crosses frontiers and includes diverse strands of inequality. People are looking for ways to devolve power, because they see solutions to global challenges such as climate and health can be best identified and delivered through communities."

"Challenging NuclearismThe Spokesman 147Edited by Tony Simpson & Tom UnterrainerA cruel year finally closed. The COVID-19 Pandemic has coincided with the deaths of many friends and supporters of the Russell Foundation. In April 2020, we lost Ken Fleet, who had been the Foundation's tireless Secretary for 50 years. The year also claimed Robert Fisk and John Le Carré, contributors to The Spokesman. In this issue, we remember two other contributors who died in 2020-Mike Cooley and Stephen Cohen, who made their mark in different fields.I first heard Mike Cooley speak at an Institute for Workers' Control conference in the early 1980s. Mrs Thatcher was Prime Minister and the prospects were bleak. Mike spoke about tacit knowledge - how workers know what to do. He probed hand-eye co-ordination, going on to celebrate the skill entailed in safely crossing a busy road. When, in later years, I reminded him of this example he had given, he was somewhat surprised, though it did stir a memory. For he would occasionally phone the Foundation to keep in contact, particularly after we republished Architect or Bee? in 2016. Mike then sent the manuscript of Delinquent Genius, and asked for an opinion. He had deliberated about it for some decades. My immediate response was that these insights, personal and scientific, should be shared more widely. So it was that the book came to be published in 2018, with a generous introduction by Michael D Higgins, President of Ireland and Mike's old school friend from Tuam in County Mayo. We reprint a chapter from that book, together with John Palmer's appreciation of Mikes life, which is the Foreword to The Search for Alternatives, the third title in the Cooley trilogy published by Spokesman. Mike's archive now resides at Waterford Institute of Technology, where it attracts international attention. Meanwhile, the Lucas Plan discussion network links Mike's insights to ongoing work for a Green New Deal and related questions. Closer to home, Shirley, Mike's wife, and Graham, his son, keep the flame burning. Stephen Cohen was another longtime friend of the Russell Foundation. He collaborated with Ken Coates in the extended campaign, ultimately successful, for the rehabilitation of Nikolai Bukharin in the Soviet Union. Bukharin's widow, Anna Larina, and son, Yuri, had exhausted every official avenue in the Soviet Union, so that a wider international campaign was necessary. John Daniels sketches Cohen's broader achievements in explaining modern Russia to the wider world ...The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons came into force in January 2021. It is a notable achievement, the result of long decades of campaigning at the United Nations and in wider civil society. We publish a Dossier which includes the text of the Treaty itself, together with critical commentaries including one by Richard Falk, which gives us our title for this issue. Tony Simpson"
