Room by room, this striking catalogue of South African artist Sue Williamson’s major retrospective at the Iziko South African National Gallery in Cape Town takes readers on a walk through 45 years of her work.
We begin with A Few South Africans (1983–1987), the iconic photo-etched and silk-screened portraits of women who fought for liberation from apartheid—a series now held in a number of international museum collections. From there, the reader moves through The Apartheid Years, Africa and her Colonisers, The Voices on the Street, No More Fairy Tales, Messages from the Moat, and The Story of District Six. Each room highlights a distinct theme.
New York Times art critic Holland Cotter has called Williamson “a dynamic amazement.” Her work flows fluidly across a wide range of media, including drawing, printmaking, photography, video, and sculptural installation. Critical texts by award-winning writers Zoé Whitley and Sean O’Toole offer further insights into her practice. The final room In the Studio is wallpapered with a facsimile of the artist’s studio, featuring a timeline and vitrines containing press clippings, posters, photographs, tools, and objects from Williamson’s working life, and Sihle Sogaula’s text reflects on this archive.
For anyone interested in how art can speak to power, in the courage of women, or in making collaborative work that resonates within a community, this is a must-have book.

The Economy of Ireland (14th edition) takes a holistic examination
of the Irish Economy in light of events including the Celtic Tiger
boom, recession, recovery and a global pandemic. The textbook
considers the evolution of the Irish economy over time; the policy
priorities for a small regional economy in the eurozone; the role
of the state in policy making; taxation and regulatory policy; and
the challenge of sustainable development. This provides a framework
for analysing policy issues at a national level, including the
Irish labour market and migration, inequality and poverty, and the
care economy. The book then considers issues at a sectoral level,
from agriculture and trade to the education and health sectors.
Packed with the latest available data, contemporary examples and
analysis of topical issues, this is an ideal text for students
studying modules on Irish Economics.

The #1 Irish Times bestseller WINNER of the An Post Irish Book
Awards 'A clear-eyed, myth-dispelling masterpiece' Marian Keyes
'Sweeping, authoritative and profoundly intelligent' Colm Toibin,
Guardian 'With the pace and twists of an enthralling novel' Irish
Times 'Evocative, moving, funny and furious' Dominic Sandbrook,
Sunday Times 'An enthralling, panoramic book' Patrick Radden Keefe
'A book that will remain important for a very long time' An Post
Irish Book Award We Don't Know Ourselves is a very personal vision
of recent Irish history from the year of O'Toole's birth, 1958,
down to the present. Ireland has changed almost out of recognition
during those decades, and Fintan O'Toole's life coincides with that
arc of transformation. The book is a brilliant interweaving of
memories (though this is emphatically not a memoir) and engrossing
social and historical narrative. This was the era of Eamon de
Valera, Jack Lynch, Charles Haughey and John Charles McQuaid, of
sectarian civil war in the North and the Pope's triumphant visit in
1979, but also of those who began to speak out against the ruling
consensus - feminists, advocates for the rights of children, gay
men and women coming out of the shadows. We Don't Know Ourselves is
an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand modern
Ireland.
This book is an authentic compendium of poems, stories, one-liners,
and anecdotes circulated throughout the World War II period by the
men and women in the armed services as well as those in the
factories and support services of the greatest war machine ever
built. This raucous humor is espeially poignant in its
representation of a nation's young finding levity in their most
basic needs, displacing themselves from the reality of death. Each
joke, story, witticism, poem, or amusement has been associated with
a bonafide United States war poster of the day, reflecting its
comparative humor. In honoring the Greatest Generation for their
sacrifices, these works are a testament to their dignity; that when
faced with their own mortality, they still could laugh.
