Insurrectionary Utopias: Ideas Towards a Liberatory Mutual Aid

From The Anarchist Library by scott crow

Despair, grief, and fear color much our days, often challenging our hopes for the future. These emotions have seeped into daily conversations, media portrayals, and the very fabrics of our lives. Our fragile social bonds in civil society have been pushed to the brink due to ongoing disasters, crisis and seeming uncertainity we all face.

Back to books, back to ideas

From Anarchist Libraries Network

Back to the roots, back to material solidity. To real discussions, physical spaces of confrontation before connection. Faced with a reality that crumbles between our fingers, with a memory of what anarchist thought once was — now fading in the face of media doublethink and the sweet constraint of new communication channels — the only choice was to rethink the conflicting relationship between what this world imposes — digitization and the dematerialization of relationships — and what we carry in our hearts and refuse to abandon — the rejection of consensus and the love for unique, sensual encounters between individuals struggling against this existing order.

Upstate Anarchist Book Fair report back

From SHH! THIS IS A LIBRARY! by Rocinante

A brief, yet triumphant report back from the first annual Upstate New York Anarchist Book Fair[1].

It was organized by and held at the PM Press space with help from Riot Act Books. PM Press recently moved their warehouse to Binghamton, New York, which is a Leatherstocking city in the southern tier of what has come to be known as New York, along the lines of the Rust Belt, sitting just outside of the Burned Over District, in the lands of the Onondaga, as the rivers of the Susquehanna and Chenango meet in present day downtown Binghamton.

Initiative for a South Asian Anarchist Library

From SHH! THIS IS A LIBRARY!, The Anarchist Library forums by magsalin

Anarchism in South Asia is slowly and steadily rising. There are groups and individuals in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Anarchist texts in South Asian languages have been written and translated, but there is not yet a place to compile these. Like Southeast Asia, South Asia has more languages than nation-states. Like the Southeast Asian Anarchist Library, it would make sense to make a diverse multi-lingual library rather than separate small libraries for each language which might have only very few texts each.

Announcing the Czech language Anarchist Library project

From Anarchistická knihovna

The Anarchist Library is an internet archive of resources related to anarchism in the Czech language, as well as its own DIY publishing house. So you will find here, firstly, "borrowed" texts (that is, those published by someone other than us), and secondly, original texts that were first published on the Anarchist Library.
