SUMMARY:Peterloo Now: The Roots of Protest in 2019
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the University of Manchester and The Guardian\, we will be hosting a series of discussions to mark the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo massacre. Join our panel of speakers\, as they debate whether the root causes of the Peterloo massacre are already playing out in 2019 Britain. \nWhen in 1819 tens of thousands of people gathered to peacefully protest for parliamentary reform\, the response from the wealthy yeomanry was violent: 18 people were killed and over 600 injured. The national media worked in the pockets of the government and led to the founding of the Manchester Guardian to report the truth. \nNow\, we have climate change that needs addressing urgently\, and a government failing to deliver or even agree on Brexit. As protests gather with increasing regularity and in swelling numbers\, and as government continues to fail to discuss anything other than Brexit are the British people going to act on their feelings of under representation? Could these be the roots of a Peterloo in 2019? \nThis event is part of a series called Peterloo Now. Other events in this series: \n\nTuesday 18 June: The gaps in representation\nTuesday 25 June: AI and the fourth industrial revolution\nTuesday 2 July: Is devolution the way to a healthier democracy?\n\nImage: The roots of protest Photograph: Johannes Spahn/EyeEm/Getty Images/EyeEm \n \n

SUMMARY:Tracy K Smith - Hosted by Jackie Kay
DESCRIPTION:“Poetry isn’t an escape or even a luxury. I’d argue it’s a necessity\, a means of living more deeply with reality.” Tracy K Smith Manchester Literature Festival are delighted to welcome Tracy K Smith to Manchester for a rare UK event. The Poet Laureate of the United States\, Tracy is the author of four poetry collections including Life on Mars\, for which she won the Pulitzer Prize\, and Wade in the Water\, which was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize. She is also the author of the memoir\, Ordinary Light\, which was a finalist for the National Book Award. \nTracy’s work considers the lives of black women through their bodies\, their desires\, their adventures and their experiences. It looks at the cruelty of humanity through verbatim histories of slavery and the separation of a First Nations boy from his family. It asks questions about life\, death\, power and race. Vogue magazine described Tracy’s poetry as ‘an awakening itself’\, while New York Magazine says she ‘Deftly illuminates America’s generational wounds’.For this special MLF event\, Tracy will perform poems from Wade in the Water and her forthcoming book Eternity: Selected Poems\, and discuss her extraordinary work with much loved Manchester-based poet and Scottish Makar\, Jackie Kay.Doors: 6.30pm\, event starts: 7pm \n.

SUMMARY:Peterloo Now: The Gaps in Representation
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the University of Manchester and the Guardian\, we will be hosting a panel\, including Professor Francesca Gains\, as they discuss representation in politics. \nOn 16 August 1819\, the peaceful protestors at St Peter’s Field had gathered to call for parliamentary reform\, demanding for their views and concerns to be represented in a Parliament that was run exclusively by corrupt and wealthy men. Though the protests and massacre were a pivotal moment in political history\, it was a further century before universal male suffrage was achieved\, and limited rights to vote for women. \nToday\, we are seeing more than ever the effects of a slow-moving mechanism; legislation can take years to pass\, and what we are seeing 200 years on from the Peterloo massacre is a web of laws and a House of politicians that no longer represent the people of Britain. There are huge gaps in representation; politics appears to be a game for white middle-aged men in suits from an elite group of institutions\, a game inaccessible to anyone from different backgrounds. Those who are\, such as Diane Abbott and Jess Phillips\, are subjected to violent threats to their lives and safety on a daily basis. Meanwhile\, the two main parties are in the middle of separate crises: antisemitism in Labour and Islamophobia among the Conservatives. \nHow can we ensure that the voices in politics reflect our society? Is there a way for all to feel as though they are represented in our political system? \nThis event is part of a series called Peterloo Now. Other events in this series: \n\nTuesday 11 June: The roots of protest in 2019\nTuesday 25 June: AI and the fourth industrial revolution\nTuesday 2 July: Is devolution the way to a healthier democracy?\n\nPhotograph: Razvan Chisu/EyeEm/Getty Images/EyeEm

SUMMARY:Peterloo Now: Is Devolution the Way to a Healthier Democracy?
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the University of Manchester and the Guardian\, join our panel chaired by Guardian northern editor Helen Pidd and including Professor Andy Westwood and Lisa Nandy MP\, as they discuss the devolution of government and its impact on the future of our democracy. \nIn 2018\, Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said\, “Devolution is not just a series of technical changes to the machinery of government. It has had a profoundly positive effect on the culture of our city-region. It has created a new energy; a sense of possibility; a shaft of light in an otherwise gloomy political sense.” \nIs it true that devolution\, as Burnham suggests\, has invigorated our democracy and led to a more representative and represented Manchester? Or is it a project that is merely papering over the cracks of a deeply divided Britain? \nThis event is part of a series called Peterloo Now.

SUMMARY:Prostest in the Surveillance State: The East German Jewish Dissident Stefan Heym
DESCRIPTION:This talk traces strategies of civil disobedience in Cold War Eastern Germany through the case of the German Jewish dissident Stefan Heym. Born into a German-Jewish family in Chemnitz (now notorious for its recent outbreaks of Far Right violence) in 1913\, Heym was an early sympathiser of the Communist Party. He fled from Nazi Germany in 1933 and spent his year’s of exile in Czechoslovakia and the US\, serving during WWII as a US Army intelligence officer. He settled in East Germany in 1952\, where he witnessed the unfolding of the antisemitic Stalinist show trials in Prague and East Berlin\, and subsequently became disenchanted with state socialism (but never the communist idea itself). As well as being an internationally renowned writer\, Heym was a life-long advocate of social justice and personal freedom and witness of the 20th struggle for these ideals.

SUMMARY:Ballads and Songs of Peterloo\, with Dr Alison Morgan
DESCRIPTION:Ballads and Songs of Peterloo by Dr Alison Morgan is based on her unique collection of more than seventy poems and ballads which highlight the outrage\, grief\, defiance and resolution felt by labouring-class people in the immediate aftermath of the Peterloo Massacre in which eighteen people were killed and more than 600 injured as they listened to the radical Henry Hunt speak on the need for electoral reform. \nAlison’s talk focuses on a selection of these poems and songs which were circulated in radical journals and performed at markets and in taverns\, highlighting how they aimed to keep a true record of the day in the public consciousness and counter the official government narrative. The talk will be illustrated by audio recordings from musicians who have worked with Alison to bring these important and entertaining songs to life once more. \nFree – please drop in \n \n

SUMMARY:Peterloo Page and Screen. Professor John Belcham and Dr Jacqueline Riding In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Historians Jacqueline Riding and John Belchem explore the events and characters behind Mike Leigh’s epic feature film ‘Peterloo’ and the process of transferring history from books and archives to the big screen. \n\n\nJacqueline Riding was the production historian and head of research on Mike Leigh’s ‘Peterloo’ (2018) and author of the highly acclaimed tie-in narrative history ‘Peterloo: The Story of the Manchester Massacre’ (hardback 2018\, paperback May 2019) described by The Guardian as “Gripping … quite simply magnificent: splendidly researched\, thoroughly well written\, and very difficult to put down.” She is also the author of the award-winning ‘Jacobites: A New History of the ’45 Rebellion’ (Bloomsbury 2016) and is currently writing a biography of William Hogarth. \nJohn Belchem is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Liverpool\, chair of the Society for the Study of Labour History and a member of the Mayor’s Task Force for the Liverpool World Heritage Site. He has published and broadcast extensively on the history\, culture and character of his adopted city where he aspires to the title of honorary scouser. The bicentenary of Peterloo\, however\, has prompted him to return to his initial area of research expertise: popular radicalism in the early 19th century. His biography of ‘Orator’ Hunt: Henry Hunt and English working-class radicalism\, first published in 1985\, was reprinted in 2012. For those prepared to sit through to the bitter end\, you will notice his name in the credits for Mike Leigh’s ‘Peterloo’. \nImage: Jacqueline Riding speaking to the “Manchester Female Reformers” during filming of ‘Peterloo’.

SUMMARY:Queer August - remarkable stories that made Manchester and Global Pride possible
DESCRIPTION:Queer August – remarkable stories that made Manchester and G Pride possible \nThe huge\, inclusive success of the global Gay Pride was made possible by extra-ordinary people standing-up and being counted in the ongoing struggle for fairness and truth that is the human rights movement. Those extra-ordinary people are rarely acknowledged then and especially now that the political\, legislative and cultural momentum has picked-up. Those inspirational queer pioneers now marginalised by professional politicians seeking popularity\, powerful commercial interests carving-up their shares of the ‘pink pound’\, all falling over each other to jump on the ‘respectable’ parts of the queer bandwagon. A deliberate silence has fallen on the courageous journey and stories of those extra-ordinary people and their/our supporters. \nQueer August on the eve of Manchester Pride is an attempt to shine light and provide insights into the remarkable history that got us here: a celebration of our still hidden queer past. Paul Fairweather a pioneer of Gay Politics in the city from the 1970s will give a short introduction to the hard-fought campaigns to get the first local government funded Gay Centre built in All Saints\, Manchester. \nThe second speaker will chart the journey within her workplace and trade union to get employers and her union (UNITE the Union) to recognising and now increasingly embracing the Trans agenda. \nAfter a short break Inkbrew Productions\, will present a read-through of “The Lesbian Liberator” a dramatisation of when in 1978 the Burnley bus driver Mary Winter was sacked for wearing a Lesbian Liberator badge at work. The play looks at the reactions to the sacking and the role of the emerging women’s movement in supporting the reinstatement campaign. \nBy showcasing this brief insight into the extra-ordinariness of the remarkable stories that made Manchester and Global Pride possible the hope is that more people will better understand the wonderful\, remarkable and sheer hard work over decades that made it all possible. \nManchester Central Library\, St Peters Square\, City Centre\, M2 5PD \nFriday 23rd August 2019 \nDoors Open and light refreshments served 6pm \nStart 6:15 pm \nFinished time to 7:45pm \nTicketed seats can only be held until 10 minutes before the commencement of the event. Any unclaimed ticketed places will be offered to the last minutes unticketed.

SUMMARY:Treasures of Manchester Central Library: two Nuremberg Chronicles (1493) and their early modern readers’.
DESCRIPTION:Dr Nina Adamova presents ‘Treasures of Manchester Central Library: two Nuremberg Chronicles (1493) and their early modern readers’. \nThe talk will explore the most famous early-printed world chronicle – the Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel (1493). The presentation will focus on how the Nuremberg Chronicle was read and perceived in Europe in the age of Reformation\, featuring two copies held by Manchester Central Library.

SUMMARY:Unspeakable: John Bercow - In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Blackwell’s Manchester and Manchester Libraries are honoured to be hosting JOHN BERCOW at Manchester Central Library on Tuesday 18th February. The former Speaker of the House of Commons will be talking about his new biography Unspeakable. \nAbout the book: \nUnspeakable is John Bercow’s characteristically forthright and incisive account of his unique vantagepoint into British politics. Containing verdicts on many of the leading figures of this era\, from Tony Blair to David Cameron\, Theresa May\, and Boris Johnson\, Bercow explores and explains the ways in which he has sought to democratise the business of Parliament\, using the Speakership to champion the rights of backbench MPs and hold the government to account. \nIn his own words\, “I made friends and enemies alike\, but from start to finish I sought to do the right\, rather than the convenient\, thing and to be a decent public servant.” From the start\, Bercow tackles head-on his regretted fascination with definably right-wing attitudes and describes his inexorable march to more progressive thinking since his election as Member of Parliament for Buckingham in 1997. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the business of politics and how our democracy is – or should be – run\, with fascinating insights into Bercow’s family background and early interest in politics. \nWhen Bercow retired as Speaker of the House of Commons on 31st October\, he had become one of the most recognisable and iconoclastic figures in British politics\, and had created a vacancy of huge importance. As Speaker since 2009 he had a ringside seat during one of the most febrile periods in modern British history\, presiding over the Commons while it had to contend with key issues such as austerity in the light of the financial crisis; the coalition government between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats; and of course the most intractable problem of all – how to deliver on the 2016 referendum decision that Britain should leave the EU. \nAbout the author: \nJohn Bercow was elected as Member of Parliament for Buckingham on behalf of the Conservative Party in 1997. He was elected as the Speaker of the House of Commons in June 2009 and retired on 31st October 2019. He is married with three children. \nTickets for this event are £8 or £25 for a book and ticket bundle (plus booking fee). Doors open at 6.30pm and seating is unallocated. For more information please contact the shop on 0161 274 3331 or email: manchester@blackwell.co.uk.
