ACT FOR YOURSELVES
Peter Kropotkin (Edited by Nicolas Walter and Heiner Becker)
Freedom Press

This book consists of a score of articles which Peter Kropotkin contributed to the anarchist paper Freedom during the first twenty-one years of its existence, from 1886 to 1907. During the same period he was writing the articles in the French anarchist press which were later collected as as the well known book, The Conquest of Bread. He intended these articles from the British anarchist press to be collected as a book in the same way, but for various reasons this didn't happen at the time. It is only after a century that they are at last published as he wanted, with the general title Act For Yourselves taken from one of them to express their message.

Kropotkin wrote these articles to apply the theoretical principles of anarchist communism to the practical problems of the Britain he was living in a century ago – which is so unlike and yet at the same time so like the Britain we are living in today. He argued that the revolution which was approaching would be international and national but also regional and local, that it should be social and economic as well as political, that it should consist not just of a change of regime or an extension of parliamentary democracy but should be based on the direct action of the mass of the people, the abolition of authority and the expropriation of property, and that it should culminate in the satisfaction of personal needs and the establishment of complete liberty and equality.

Act For Yourselves is not one of Kropotkin's greats works, but it is a valuable lost work, written when he was at the height of his powers and well worth reading as a minor classic of anarchistic journalism which remains both interesting and important after a century.

The editors have provided a scholary introduction and notes.

ANARCHISM: A VERY SHORT INTRODUCTION
Colin Ward
Oxford University Press

What do anarchists want? Can anarchy ever function effectively as a political force? Is it more 'organized' and 'reasonable' than is currently perceived? Colin Ward provides answers to these and many other questions by considering anarchism from a variety of perspectives: theoretical, historical, and international, and by exploring key anarchist thinkers, from Kropotkin through to Chomsky. He looks critically at anarchism by evaluating key ideas within it, such as its blanket opposition to incarceration, and policy of 'no compromise' with the apparatus of political decision-making. And as always, Ward writes simply and clearly, providing yet another wonderful introduction to the meaning, and practical application, of anarchism.

ANARCHIST ESSAYS

Charlotte Wilson was the principal founder of Freedom Press, and the first editor of the anarchist newspaper Freedom, in 1886. She had been writing about anarchism in the socialist press since 1884, and like the work of her better-known contemporary Peter Kropotkin, whom she invited to England to join the Freedom group, her anarchist writings are scholarly, original, thoughtful, and clear. Eleven short essays, together with historical and biographical notes by Nicolas Walter.

ANARCHO-SYNDICALISM: THEORY AND PRACTICE
Rudolf Rocker
AK Press

"The publication of Rudolf Rocker's Anarcho-Syndicalism is an event of much importance for people who are concerned with problems of liberty and justice. Rocker expresses throughout his faith in the capacity of ordinary people to construct for themselves a world suited to their inner needs, to create and participate in an advancing culture of liberation in free communities, to discover through their own thought and engagement the institutional arrangements that can best satisfy their deeply rooted striving for freedom, justice, compassion and solidarity, at a particular historical moment. This vision remains as inspiring as when it was written a half century ago, and no less valid as a stimulus to our thinking and our constructive action." —Noam Chomsky
"[Rocker's] exposition of anarcho-syndicalism at the peak of its influence is both a precious document of its time and a valuable reminder in our time of the continuing importance of an essential element in the complex ideology of anarchism."
—Nicolas Walter
In 1937, at the behest of Emma Goldman, Rudolf Rocker (1873–1958) penned this political and philosophical masterpiece as an introduction to the ideals fueling the Spanish social revolution and resistance to capitalism the world over. Within, he offers an introduction to anarchist ideas, a history of the international workers movement, and an outline of the strategies and tactics embraced at the time (internationalism, federalism, anti-militarism, direct action, sabotage, and the General Strike). A prolific writer and speaker, Rocker was one of the most beloved and dedicated anarchists of his time. His other works include Nationalism and Culture, The Tragedy of Spain, Anarchism & Anarcho-Syndicalism and The London Years. This new AK edition includes an introduction from Noam Chomsky and a lengthy historical and biographical preface from Nicolas Walter.

ANARCHY IN ACTION
Colin Ward
Freedom Press

With chapters on the family, topless federations, schools, housing, crime, employment, welfare, deviancy, planning, and more, this is probably the best practical example of anarchist ideas in action. As he writes in his introduction, "This book is not intended for people who had spent a lifetime pondering the problems of anarchism, but for those who either had no idea of what the word implied or knew exactly what it implied and rejected it, considering that it had no relevance for the modern world. My original preference as a title was the more cumbersome but more accurate 'Anarchism As A Theory Of Organization' because, as I urge in my preface, that is what the book is about. It is not about strategies for revolution and it is not involved in speculation on the way an anarchist society would function. It is about the ways in which people organize themselves in any kind of human society, whether we care to categorize those societies as primitive, traditional, capitalist or communist..."
