The latest LookLeft has made it to the streets, and should be shelved at Easons branches nationwide by Saturday. The cover is the work of Luke Fallon, and though I’m a bit biased I think it’s a nice break with regards normal left-wing aesthetic and design. Below is the blurb for the magazine, but it’s worth mentioning from ourselves you’ll find a piece focusing on long-time Come Here To Me favourites ‘The Blades’ (see here for some of the posts jaycarax has given us on the band) and a piece on the upcoming ‘Decade of Centenaries’ and what it means to different people.
The new edition of LookLeft is out now. It is now expanded to 40 pages, proving that growth is possible even in an age of austerity. Highlights include:
* Ireland’s poll tax – building a mass non-payment campaign against the household charge
* Class Dismissed – Conor McCabe on the need for class to become a central part of political and social debate in Ireland
* Whose Decade is it Anyway? – Donal Fallon on the forthcoming centenary commemorations
* Street Wars – Fergus Whelan on family history and ideological battles on the streets of 1930s Dublin
* Making the Future Work – Alan Myler on workplace democracy and economic recovery
* Football and Revolution – David Lynch on Egyptian Ultras and political struggle
* Feminism’s New Dawn? – Leah Culhane on Irish feminist debates on the Slutwalk phenomenon
* Rebel with a Cause? – Interview with Patrick Nulty TD
* Not Even Our Rivers Run Free – Padraig Mannion on the water privatisation agenda north and south

Just popped in for this one – I read this blog in a reader and rarely get the time to comment. Great job being done here. Kind thanks for alerting me to this, the article on water privatisation should be of interest to anyone with an interest in geopolitics, or just anyone who’s clued in about economies at this moment in time. Thanks again.
