  1996: My Backstage Pass to The...

  1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves. The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram. Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star – and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth.  
  Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn’t watching the party from afar – he was in the room. 
  Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro ’96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse. 
  Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain – and created legends along the way. 
  Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again? 
  If you were there – this book will feel like going home. 
  If you weren’t – you’ll wish you had been.

  A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering 
   
   
   
  In the United States, one child in five is raised by a single mother. Yet the single mom is still cast as victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or too independent for her own (or her children's) good. 
   
   
   
  In Doing It All, journalist and single mother Ruby Russell tells a different story, of single mothering not defined by loss by whole and powerful in its own right. She finds narratives of liberation in Victorian brothels and postwar British slums, in Black feminist theory and the grassroots activism of women fighting for welfare rights. 
   
   
   
  Doing It All is a personal quest for empowerment, a fierce critique of the systems that leave single moms marginalized and exhausted, and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected, and radically responsible communities.

  Inequality and Society -...

  Social inequality is a fundamental issue in societies around the world, shaping access to resources, opportunities, and quality of life. It refers to the uneven distribution of wealth, power, and privileges among individuals and groups, often determined by factors such as class, race, gender, and education. While some level of inequality has existed in every human society, modern economic and social structures have amplified disparities, making it a crucial area of study for sociologists, policymakers, and activists. 
  Throughout history, social inequality has taken various forms, from rigid caste systems to economic hierarchies based on capitalism. Industrialization and globalization have contributed to both the expansion of wealth and the widening of income gaps, leaving marginalized communities struggling for economic security and social recognition. The effects of inequality are not just economic; they extend into healthcare, education, political representation, and overall well-being. 
  One of the most significant consequences of inequality is the limitation it places on social mobility. In an ideal society, individuals would have the opportunity to improve their social and economic standing based on merit and effort. However, entrenched social hierarchies often make it difficult for those born into poverty or discrimination to break free from their circumstances. Access to education, employment opportunities, and healthcare remains largely determined by socioeconomic status, further reinforcing generational cycles of disadvantage.
