Traditionally, the in-fighting within the communist party during the Russian Civil War has been interpreted by historians as a struggle between good and evil, between Trotsky's democratically inclined party versus the later bureaucratic Stalinist version. This the view that Trotsky himself took, the line that R. V. Daniels supported in the 1960s, and which has remained in orthodoxy ever since. This book, in its analysis of the communist party from 1917 to 1922, challenges the simplicity of such dualistic historical arguments. What emerges from Lonergan's meticulous research is a party in constant flux, where conflict and compromise was prioritised ahead of calculation and strategy and where the desperate need to survive drove decisions forward. Indeed, the resultant autocratic structures and draconian resolutions were not merely the result of blind devotion to Lenin; as this book reveals, the unsettled and turbulent party membership in many ways actually pushed the leadership into an increasingly authoritarian stance. Examining the six party congresses that took place during the civil war and drawing from the political and personal archives of various party members, The Communist Party in the Russian Civil War is an exciting, novel, and much-needed re-assessment of the Soviet Union's formative political years.

Following Cry Sadness into the Coming Rain (Steidl, 2017), which documents the seared landscapes of the Namib Desert and was shortlisted for the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 18|19, Margaret Courtney-Clarke now turns her lens to the bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. The inspiration for When Tears Don't Matter comes, in part, from her grandfather's photographs of almost a century earlier during his mandate as Secretary for South West Africa (now Namibia), some of which are reproduced in this book. 10,000 kilometers of formidable terrain takes Courtney-Clarke across remote bushveld, sand and salt pans to drought-stricken conservancies, tenuous farming communities that function as holding tanks for "inconvenient indigenes," "cultural villages" and peri-urban squatments, as far east as she could travel through the Namibian Kalahari Desert.Largely invisible to the outside world, the bushmen today are dispossessed of their land: a "shadow people" sidelined by officialdom, economic inequity and outdated mythologies which present them as living in an "uncontaminated" state. In this complex country where notions of truth and objectivity (and whiteness) are constantly explored, the battle against disenfranchisement is largely unsuccessful. Courtney-Clarke's photographs lie at the crossroads between documentary and activism, and their basis is an unfailing empathy with her subjects-in her words: "What is crucial in this work is to give place to a voice in search of a listener."
