Irish artist and activist, Margaretta D’Arcy’s account of being jailed in the North of Ireland in 1980 for showing peaceful solidarity with the marginalised Republican women prisoners in Armagh jail and her courage in joining them on the no-wash protest against the removal of political status by the British government. When the book was first published, there was a regime of censorship both in Ireland and the UK around the war in the North and very few people wanted to be associated with it. But slowly, the ideas in the book, that the struggle of Republican women was aligned to the struggle of women everywhere for equality, filtered through, encouraging Sinn Fein to put its women members on a more equal footing. Today Sinn Fein in the Six-Counties is led by a woman. Tell Them Everything is a sharp observation of how the state deals with difficult women prisoners and how women adapt, resist and survive the horrendous experience of jail and of being separated from their children and families. But it is also an insightful and funny account of a privileged outsider thrust into a terrifying nightmare because of principle. This second edition of the classic feminist prison memoir comes with a preface by noted criminologist and Hillsborough campaigner, Professor Phil Scraton.

First published in 1988, The Crisis of Marxist Ideology in Eastern Europe states that since de-Stalinisation began in Eastern Europe, the 'dead hand' of institutional Marxism has been eroded by revisionist Marxism, with the turn to young Marx and the philosophy of human emancipation to undermine prevailing orthodoxies. But this revisionism clung to the old socialist dogmas and refused a total break with the system, and the effort eventually failed. The result was the emergence of a dissident counterculture rejecting the system entirely. Independent social movements (such as unofficial peace groups and trade unions like Solidarity) have given this counterculture a major role in Eastern Europe, whilst the ruling elites have responded with confusion. Tismaneanu concludes that the only hope for the anti-totalitarian intellectuals of Eastern Europe is to oppose the regimes with non-Marxist ideas - otherwise they will be permanently reduced to the status of a hopeless, albeit heroic minority. This book will be of interest to students of economics, political science and international relations.

Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... In Rome, it was on a night in April, 1753, that, after the ghetto-gates had been closed, officials entered houses previously marked as suspicious. Outside, at stated intervals on the streets, wagons and carts were stationed under escort; as the books were taken from each house they were placed in a sack with which each searching-party had been provided, the sack was sealed in the presence of two Christian witnesses, and a tag attached with the owner's name. The books were then carried to one of the appointed places, where an official was ready to receive them; and in this way thirty-eight carts were filled from the ghetto of Rome alone. Giovanni Antonio Costanzi, the censor, had by this time compiled his third index of Hebrew books. It classified them under three heads: those permitted, those permitted with corrections, and those absolutely forbidden. Strangely enough, some placed in the first class in 1738, and in the third class in 1748, were now-again transferred to their first position.4" Twenty different titles were thus left on the list of prohibited works, including, of course, those mentioned in the general Index Librorum Prohibitorum, . g., 'En Ya '"kobh, Beth Ya' kobh, Yalkut; two editions of the prayer-book, and Joseph Albo's Ikkdrim, were added, the last because it disputed the Messiahship of Jesus. But Costanzi's-chief aim, in accordance with which he proscribed the Zohar, was-directed toward revealing the absurdities of the Cabbalah, to which he gave an equal place with the Talmud. He went further than any of the previous censors in his condemnation, and forbade works which contained merely the names of angels other than such as were mentioned in the Bible. And in the criticisms with which he supported his various...
