I always get a bit overwhelmed looking on the Verso website and end up not buying anything, but I’d like to take advantage of their sale and order a couple of things. Has anyone got any recommendations?

sorry if this is the most wanky, pretentious thread i’ve ever started!

I would also be keen to hear any suggestions!

yeah been there a few times, but can never work out what’s going on with the site and just go back to giving amazon money.

Thanks for this. I’m interested in most of their genres, but mainly in feminist literature, politics, economics, sociology and psychology, and media. Lots of things really!

I was just looking at ‘Feminism and Nationalism in the Third World’ so have put that on the list!

I really enjoyed this

Playing the Whore is a really great book which turns the ‘sex work debate’ on its head by looking at the way that the idea of ‘the whore’ works in popular discourse around sex.

Also it’s short so can be read really easily.
