Sam Bright

Politics & Government

London in the glittering twenties. Iris Barrington, the daughter of a rich industrialist, lives a luxurious but lonely existence. Her mother is dead, her father Elmer is interested only in his art collection and his building projects. Beneath her conventional life, with its parties and its craze for all things Egyptian, she longs for escape. When Samuel Dux comes into her life, fresh from the excavation of Tutankhamen's tomb, she sees her chance. But Samuel brings with him a troubling secret, one that stems from a dark moment in Howard Carter's discovery of the boy king's tomb. It is a secret that threatens his own future, and that of Iris too.

A Virtue Of Disobedience

A new work of political philosophy, in which Asim Qureshi reflects on injustice in the world he sees around him. Covering issues from torture and extrajudicial killings, to racism and discrimination, A Virtue of Disobedience takes the reader on a journey through the history of oppression, and begins a conversation about how previous acts of resistance and disobedience, through faith and virtue, can be liberating in the range of contemporary issues communities face today. Also included in the book is the poem 'A Virtue of Disobedience, ' by poet and writer Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan, who graduated from a history degree at Cambridge University and master's in Postcolonial Studies at SOAS. She writes and speaks about politics, race, gender, feminism, Islam, being visibly Muslim, Eurocentric academia, decolonising minds and bodies, and more. (Suhaiymah will be contributing to an anthology of essays by hijab-wearing women in Britain called Cut From The Same Cloth.)
