In every area of life, traditional, centralized party politics has
been failing and the seeds of a new form of political life are
being sown. This is true in housing, health, education, consumption
and transport, where public policy is attracting increasing
criticism. In an age of social alienation and urban despondency,
"Richer Futures" is a timely response to the growing interest in
community-based, self-help action. It introduces new forms of
communication and decision-making and sets out a programme for a
sustainable politics.Contributions from some of the best-known
thinkers and writers on contemporary urban, cultural and social
policy (and campaigns) in Britain today pay tribute to the ideas
and industrious activities of the influential writer and
commentator Colin Ward. This uplifting collection of essays looks
forward to a new politics of self-management and environmentally
aware and sustainable lifestyles.

On 'Lady Day', March 1943 a group of Christian pacifists took
possession of a vacant farm in Frating, a hamlet on the Essex
Tendring Peninsula. There they established a working community,
inspired by their association with The Adelphi journal, where
D.H.Lawrence, John Middleton Murry, Vera Brittain, Iris Murdoch,
George Orwell and others shared ideas for the future with European
religious radicals such as Nikolai Berdyaev, Martin Buber and
Simone Weil. Frating Hall Farm provided a settlement and livelihood
for individuals and families (as well as a temporary sanctuary for
refugees and prisoners-of-war), and over time became a successful
arable and livestock land-holding of more than 300 acres. Scorned
initially by their neighbours for their anti-war views, the Frating
community won respect not only through their farming achievements,
but having established a touring theatre company and choir, for
bringing new life to the villages and churches around them. The
lost story of Frating Hall Farm is based on the reminiscences of
those who grew up on the farm, together with photographs, letters
and organisational records, never before seen or published. The
book is a kaleidoscopic history of a farm during its eleven-year
occupation, and an enquiry into the passionate religious and
political ideals of the back-to-the-land movement in wartime and
post-war rural England.

Ken Worpole analyses the appeal of 'hardboiled' US crime novels of
the 1930s to an industrial working class that failed to identify
with the tamed domesticity of the home counties.
Ken Worpole reflects on memories of friends and places he has known
and loved. Through a series of letters, this book takes readers to
the source of things, charting a route through four generations of
family life, the political progress of the left, the cities of the
world and human fallibility. The book is a testimony to the art of
detailed evocation and observation, whether sweating on the road to
Tuscany, meditating on the pain of strenuous cycling or discussing
the arrival of "Dallas" on Russian TV. Ken Worpole is the author of
"Dockers and Detectives", "Saturday Night or Sunday Morning? From
Arts to Industry - New Forms of Cultural Policy" with Geoff Mulgan
and "Towns for People: New Issues in Urban Policy".
