What exactly is cool? Well, if it was that easy to describe, it wouldn't be cool at all. In this Trip, Keir, Jem and Nadia wonder if cool comes from within, if cool can ever be politically useful, and what happens when cool is used as a disciplining force.With ideas from Pierre Bourdieu, Norman Mailer and Paul Gilroy, and music from OutKast, Gwen Stefani and Miles Davis, the gang adopt a blank expression to explore the mysterious rules of this singular modern concept.

The difference between sex and gender is fundamental to how we talk about trans people. But what if it actually obscures the richness of life outside of gender norms? There is so much more to gender non-conforming people than this academic, middle-class, distinction. So says Jules Gill-Peterson, author of A Short History of Trans Misogyny. A historian at Johns Hopkins University, she reaches back into the past to explain what it means to be a Queen, how the ways we talk about them accidentally

No country has ever changed so fast as China. From the west, we see only the dazzling headline figures – 15% growth in some years. But it's on the ground, in the huge shifts in the patterns of daily life, where the story comes alive. Journalist Yuan Yang's first book Private Revolutions provides just that insight, revealing the individual lives behind the increasing lines on the graphs. Born in China, Yang moved to the UK at the age of 4 but in 2016 returned to her home country to become deputy

George Galloway has been elected as a member of parliament for four separate constituencies – with only Winston Churchill beating him. Perhaps more remarkably still, he won on three of those occasions while not being a member of a major political party. Most recently he became the MP for Rochdale, in the north of England. That success was, in no small part, because of Galloway’s position on Gaza – and his outspoken criticism of Israel. But is his latest success merely the swan song in a

That's one of many vital questions asked by Aaron Winter and Aurelien Mondon in their book Reactionary Democracy.Following ACFM's recent Trip about Fascism, Keir and Jem speak to Aaron and Aurelien about the making of the "woke conspiracy", how illiberal politics absorbs liberal rhetoric, and why the left has to stop falling for reactionary narratives
