Bibliotek och befrielse

"Just published:
Information and liberation: Writings on the politics of information
and librarianship by Shiraz Durrani

Information and liberation is a retrospective collection of Shiraz
Durrani's articles and conference papers on the politics of
information. The book documents the struggle for progressive and
relevant information policies and practices over a period of 25 years in Kenya, Britain, and other countries. The book records also the vision, struggles and achievements of many progressive librarians and activists to develop a system and a society which can meet the
information, social and cultural needs of all, particularly those
marginalised by forces of capitalism and imperialism."

BiS har sedan många år kontakt med Shiraz, han har medverkat såväl i tidskriften bis, som i ett av föreningens seminarium vid bokmässan. Läs mer om hans nya bok och andra radikala biblioteksböcker via länken till LJP här i högermarginalen!
