The Winter Circus

Author: Leo Zeilig
Year Published: 2026

The Winter Circus: A Memoir is a bold, genre-defying work that blends memoir, fiction, and political reflection to explore what it means to live in a time of personal and global crisis. Moving between intimate experience and wider social forces, it captures a world marked by deep contradiction: extreme wealth alongside poverty, rising global movements alongside fragmentation and uncertainty about how real change can happen. Set in Europe and Africa the story tells of a world on the cusp of radical change.

What is the Real Marxist Tradition?

Author: John Molyneux
Year Published: 2026

‘John Molyneux cuts through a century of distortion to recover Marxism’s authentic, revolutionary essence. This classic work distinguishes between living theory and dead orthodoxy, showing that Marxism is not a relic of the past but a vital method for understanding and transforming the world. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand capitalism and how to change it. For young activists and students alike, it is a must-read as it offers a powerful weapon for today’s struggles.’

What Died When We Lived​

Essays on Governance, Tradition and Power in Uganda

Author: Jimmy Spire Ssentongo

 

“What Died When We Lived … grapples with those issues that Ugandans find deeply troubling, with razor-sharp analysis, consummate wit, and magisterial wisdom. Certainly, the truth-deniers will have a hard time creating a persuasive counter-narrative. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo has given us a gem: It is an exemplar of decolonial dissent.”

SURROUNDED

Democracy, Free Markets and Other Entrapments of New Colonialism

Author: Yusuf Serunkuma

Surrounded is an ethnography of new colonialism: the informal, ignorable, subtle and seemingly benevolent ways through which new colonialism manifests. Unlike colonialism of the past, this new manifestation – running riot after the collapse of USSR – has been tactfully depoliticised. Institutions such as the WB, IMF, WWF, banks, mining giants, telecoms, and many others have surrounded the African continent. Chanting free markets and democracy, they have ruined entire populations – and will resort to deadly violence in the name of democracy.

Non-essential Humans

Essays on Governance, Run and Survival in Covid-19 Uganda

Author: Yusuf Serunkuma

Non-Essential Humans is both a critical documentation and commentary on the world that Covid-19 created. It focuses on the diametric, but supposedly harmonious ways in which the state on the one hand, and the governed on the other, responded to their progressively altering and scary worlds. While the Ugandan state ventured wantonly, ordinary folks-the so-called “vulnerable poor”-struggled to cope, survive and understand the anti-Covid measures that were not only scientifically inexplicable, and terribly inconsistent but also disconnected from their local context.

Before the First Drop

Oil, Capitalists, and the Wretcheds of Western Uganda

Author: Yusuf Serunkuma

Speaking and developing analyses from the vantage point of directly affected persons in western Uganda, this book is focused on that small window between confirmed economic potential and actual extraction. That is, before the pipes begin to flow with oil.

This window has been long for Uganda, with multiple pauses – often includes exploration, preparation, displacement, resettlement, compensation, waiting, speculation, anxiety, violence, and several often, non-voiced traumas.
