Molly Crabapple is an award-winning artist, writer and author whose work has appeared in past issues of New Internationalist including the cover of our 2015 issue Democracy in the digital era. Her forthcoming book, Here Where we Live is our Country, tells the little-known story of the revolutionary Jewish Labour Bund movement.
