We have just received two cartons of new books at the Freedom Shop. Included amongst the books is just published ' Undoing Border Imperialism ' by Harsha Waila - a book about migration, state control and state violence. In the book Harsha urges people organsing against border imperialism to be aware of the illegal settlement and appropriation of lands throughout time, the book ends with a discussion on decolonisation. More about ' Undoing Border Imperialism ' can be read here . "What I am trying to say is that working in solidarity with someone does not preclude us from, but rather requires us to, challenge behaviors that are sexist, homophobic, or capitalist.

It is through these dialogues and demands for accountability that we aim to work toward a world free of oppression, while struggling for all people to live with dignity and safety." - Alex Mah, Excerpt from Undoing Border Imperia
