What we did last year

From Active Distribution

Boy do I suck at this “keeping social media up to date” lark! Anyway here’s a quick resume of what we published in the second half of 2025.

We started what hopefully will be a whole bunch of books looking at the black anarchist experience with two pocket books featuring Ashanti Alston and William C.Anderson in Black Anarchist Futures and Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin, JoNina Abron-Ervin and Modibo Kadalie in Black Anarchist Legacies.

Appropriating the Bookfair: A Reportback from Constellation 2025

From Montreal Counter-Information

We heard you like reportbacks from anarchist festivals; may others from this one follow. May 15th-21st, 2025 in Montreal was the second edition of Constellation. Over seven days, there were book launches, parties, benefit shows, bike rides, a book arpentage, a squatted rave in an abandoned magic store, a barbecue, a barbecue that blocked fascists, a mesh networking day, a radical consent workshop, and more. People attended from across the country, from south of the border, and from overseas, and events consistently saw packed rooms, even when there were five happening at the same time.

Announcing Warlike, Howling, Pure

From Contagion Press

by Areïon

Given the failure and inadequacy of secular attempts to bring about revolution, Warlike, Howling, Pure offers an insurrectionary and devotional approach to anarchy that expands the uprising into spiritual and religious dimensions. This book of four essays delves into the animism of revolution, suggesting its manifestation through relationship with the numinous – a divine intervention, rather than a product of crass historical determinism.
