Cultural Resistance Reader. Stephen Duncombe (ed.) Verso 2002, pp.447, £14, (ISBN I-85984-659-9). In eight chapters, this reader covers a wide range of social aspects involved in cultural resistance, looking at the political in cultural expressions from the turn of the 19th century until the present. From a group of landless commoners seizing their land in 1649 to black political movements, urban subcultural scenes, music and feminism, this book draws from classic and modern texts, portraying the historical links between old and new forms of culture as an important tool of resistance. Available from: Verso, 6 Meard Street, London W1F OEG, www.versobooks.com.
Our judges: the usual suspects. Labour Research vol 91, no 12 (December) 2002, pp.14-16. Results of a Labour Research survey of the 774 judges sitting in English and Welsh courts which finds "that the UK's judiciary remains overwhelmingly elitist, white, male and aged." The results support the Commission for Judicial Appointments' view that the judiciary is "overwhelmingly white, male and from a narrow social and educational background."
