Do YOU want to co-ordinate a progressive bookshop? Please pass on to people you think would be interested ...
The International Bookshop was a Melbourne institution. From 1934 until the mid-nineties, it survived censorship, police raids and numerous political crises to provide left-wing literature for several generations of radicals. The New International Bookshop carries on the tradition. Located in Melbourne's historic Trades Hall, the co-operatively owned shop stocks Left-wing books, magazines and other items, operates a cafe and an art gallery, organises meetings and functions, and generally provides a cultural space for Left and alternative politics. As co-ordinator you will organise debates, events and functions, with speakers from Tariq Ali to Henry Reynolds. You will order books from some of the weirdest and most wonderful publishers in the world. You will take radical publications from demonstrations to conferences and beyond. And you will play a central role in Melbourne's progressive movement. We seek someone with a commitment to Left politics who is able to work alongside others in a non-sectarian and friendly fashion (our constituency includes environmentalists, feminists, anarchists, Marxists, Fabians alongside casual browsers off the street). The weekly salary is (gross) $432.00 for 28 hours, spread over four or five days (subject to negotiation).
