THE RUSSIAN ANARCHISTS Paul Avrich AK Press In the turmoil of the Russian insurrection of 1905 and civil war of 1917, the anarchists attempted to carry out their program of "direct action"—workers' control of production, the creation of free rural and urban communes, and partisan warfare against the enemies of a free society. Avrich consulted published material in five languages and anarchist archives worldwide to present a picture of the philosophers, bomb throwers, peasants and soldiers who fought and died for the freedom of "Mother Russia." Including the influence and ideas of Bakunin and Kropotkin, the armed uprisings of Makhno, the activities of Volin, Maximoff, and the attempted aid of Berkman and Emma Goldman.
"It combines exact scholarship with imaginative insight, intellectual grasp and readability. The author has a flair for concrete instance that makes the milieu which he describes alive and he conveys not only what people said and did but also what they meant and felt."—Times Literary Supplement |

THE STATE: IT'S HISTORICAL ROLE Peter Kropotkin Freedom Press More incisive analysis from the dude with the unfeasible beard. The state - centralised, coercive authority - is there not just to keep law and order or to settle disputes, but to promote, uphold and defend systems of social and economic inequality - in other words, class interests. According to the author of this seminal anarchist text there is only one way of really understanding the State, and that is to study its historic development. That is just what Kropotkin does in this brilliant, erudite and provocative essay. In subjecting the build-up of statist forms of power to his critical analysis he demonstrates a radical and comprehensive understanding both of the nature of the state and the social conditions that support it.

The Women Incendiaries Edith Thomas Haymarket The Women Incendiaries tells the often overlooked story of the crucial role played by women during the Paris Commune of 1871, one of history's most important experiments in working-class democracy. Women played a courageous role in defending the Commune, while at the same time challenging the limitations placed on women in French society. Louise Michel was one of them. Facing trial after her arrest, Michel told the court, "Since it seems that every heart that beats for freedom has no right to anything but a little slug of lead, I demand my share. if you let me live, I shall never cease to cry for vengeance." Michel was sentenced to exile for her role in the Commune. But she was not forgotten. When she finally retruned in November 1880 to Paris, ten thousand workers greeted her at the train station. This is the first paperback edition of this vital, remarkable book. Price: 110kr |

WE, THE ANARCHIST'S!: A Study Of The Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI) 1927-1937 Stuart Cristie The Meltzer Press/Jura Media At last, a serious examination of the legendary FAI. And hence, by necessity, a history and analysis of the organized anarchist movement in Spain, and its relationship with the wider labor movement. By far the best book on the subject, Christie is ruthless in his examination—from an anarchist perspective—of the theory, and practice of this loose-knit group of anarchist militants. Required reading for everyone who not only wants to understand the history of Spanish anarchism, but for those that might want to see some viable form of anarchist organization in the 21st century.

WHAT IS ANARCHISM? Alexander Berkman AK Press A reprint of perhaps the first and best exposition of anarchism by one of its greatest propagandists (by both word and deed) and thinkers. In a clear conversation with the reader Berkman discusses society as it now exists, the need for anarchism and the methods for bringing it about. Combines the oft-reprinted texts of What is Communist Anarchism? and the ABC of Anarchism back into its original format. Foreworded by his comrade and lover Emma Goldman, as well as Barry Pateman. "All such people need a primer of Anarchism—an ABC, as it were, that would teach them the rudimentary principles of Anarchism and whet their appetites for something more profound. What is Anarchism? was intended to serve this purpose. That it has fulfilled its purpose no one who has read this little book will deny." —Emma Goldman "It's a mixture of moral and practical argument that has not been surpassed. It was the only attempt of an anarchist to present his ideas in a thorough and cohesive way, ideas distilled from nearly forty years of activism. He examines how change comes about—and, just as importantly for him, why it doesn't. Perhaps in a book filled with thoughtful and contentious points, the most salient discussion is why people continue to accept capitalism and all its institutions that oppress and repress individual freedom. For Berkman, human evolution was instinctively predicated on mutual aid and justice was a kind of instinctive sympathy that can only be hindered or corrupted by government." —from Barry Pateman's introduction Price: 110kr |
