People with are often told there are only two options when engaging with systems that exclude them:
Fight the system — and risk being dismissed as angry, ideological, or unworkable.
Or give in to it — over‑comply, assimilate, and earn a conditional seat at the table.
At New Central Media, we offer a third way. One that refuses both erasure and assimilation.
New Central Media exists because many of us are done with that bargain. At New Central Media, we do things differently.
We are putting out a call for Chapters for NCM’s forthcoming book ‘Global Majority Recovery Capital Pathways’ in 2027.
I am delighted that Lanre Adetimole and Sohan Sahota, two national leaders of the movement will join me as co-editors. They both lead ’s that work with global majority populations in their respective cities and regions. I have learnt so much from each of them.
As editors we do not change authors’ words to make them fit, we don’t sanitise language, smooth expression, or reframe lived realities to sound more “acceptable”.
Our books are author-led and grounded in lived experience as knowledge, evidence and authority.
We are inviting chapters that reshape the frame itself so expressions of interest in writing a chapter are now officially open.
Eligibility for this book:
1) are you a member of the global majority? See comments below for global majority groups explanation. Eligibility for this volume is limited to Global Majority contributors, including Black, Indigenous, Asian, Arab, and other racially minoritised communities.
2) were you previously in active addiction to alcohol and/or substances but now regard yourself to be in recovery?
DM us or comment below if this resonates with you, or if you would like to discuss the possibility of contributing to the book, or if you’d love to be involved
Please share and repost this invitation with your networks so that we can create more lived experience authors.
❤️
