Above them, a quote from Meera Ghanshamdas, Chair of Judges, reads "This is my second year working on the Bread and Roses award, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences that I have had while working in books. The titles chosen for this year by our tremendous panel of judges are at the forefront of radical political conversation within their field, approaching their subject matter with nuance and sensitivity." Below the quote is the logo for the Alliance of Radical Booksellers, which consists of black, red, green and purple triangles.
