Bread and Roses Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Der Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing ist ein britischer Literaturpreis. Er wird seit 2012 jährlich für „radikale Literatur“ verliehen – wobei diese als solche verstanden wird, die sozialistisch, anarchistisch, ökologisch, feministisch oder antirassistisch geprägt ist[1] – in anderen Worten dediziert linke Literatur.[2] Dieser Preis ist der einzige linke Literaturpreis des Vereinigten Königreichs.[2] Die Literatur muss von Autoren verfasst sein, die überwiegend im Vereinigten Königreich leben, oder zumindest in Großbritannien veröffentlicht worden sein.[1] Der Preis ist mit 500 britischen Pfund dotiert.[1] Der Bread and Roses Award wird von der Alliance of Radical Booksellers gesponsert und basiert auf keiner Stiftung.[2]
Bread and Roses basiert als Phrase auf dem Lawrence-Textilstreik von 1912 in Lawrence, Massachusetts. In dem Song, Bread and Roses, welcher an den Streik erinnert, streikten die Arbeiter angeblich für „Brot und auch für Rosen“.
Die erste Preisverleihung fand am 1. Mai 2012, dem Tag der Arbeit, im Bread and Roses Pub in Clapham, London, statt.[2]
