History Workshop editors select their end-of-year radical reads for 2020.

For many of us in the UK, the recent election has turned this festive season into a bleak midwinter.  What better time, then, to curl up with a good book: not to escape, but to explore new paths of resistance? Members of the History Workshop collective here recommend their recent favourite radical reads, from newly-published history to young adult fiction, with content that consoles, galvanises, inspires. Give us bread, but give us roses.
