‘An occasional magazine about land—and people’
This unassuming magazine has an intriguing ethos, expressed in a note on the inner cover. ‘The Land is written by and for people who believe the roots of justice, freedom, social security and democracy lie not so much in access to money, or to the ballot box, as in access land and its resources.’ Think of it as a more politically-minded older sibling to Weird Walk.
It is packed with essays addressing eveything from the global responses to Trump’s election to living with rats via aq warbing that US nuclear warheads are rteurning to the UK. It really reaches everywhere and anywhere, and has a nice line in English self-depreciation that stops it being too po-faced.
