Hajar Press: Book of Rage
We are now open for submissions for The Hajar Book of Rage, the first book in our new elements anthology series.
We ignite the series by exploring the fierce, animating power of rage as a starting point for revolutionary work. Anger is politically instructive, teaching us what we’re fighting against and what we’re fighting for. It is mobilising, driving us to put our bodies on the line and take direct action. It gives us the strength of our convictions, rousing our innermost ideals so we don’t compromise or concede. And it is consuming, impossible to control, with a blazing appetite for destruction.
We’re looking for short stories, poetry, essays and everything in between on the theme of revolutionary anger, showing radical imagination, creative experimentation and sharp political engagemen</strong>t with the world around us.
Founded in 2020 by Brekhna Aftab and Farhaana Arefin, Hajar Press is an independent and proudly political publishing house run by and for people of colour.
