The Architecture of Modern Empire
From the bestselling author of Azadi and My Seditious Heart, a piercing exploration of modern empire, nationalism and rising fascism that gives us the tools to resist and fight back
Over a lifetime spent at the frontline of solidarity and resistance, Arundhati Roy's words have lit a clear way through the darkness that surrounds us. Combining the skills of the architect she trained to be and the writer she became, she illuminates the hidden structures of modern empire like no one else, revealing their workings so that we can resist.
Her subjects- war, nationalism, fundamentalism and rising fascism, turbocharged by neoliberalism and now technology. But also- truth, justice, freedom, resistance, solidarity and above all imagination - in particular the imagination to see what is in front of us, to envision another way, and to fight for it.
Arundhati Roy's voice - as distinct and compelling in conversation as in her writing - explores these themes and more in this essential collection of interviews with David Barsamian, conducted over two decades, from 2001 to the present.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
