'Only a Beginning: An Anarchist Anthology' edited by Allan Antliff Arensal Pulp Press <www.arsenalpulp.com> Drawing on a wide-range of anarchist publications, 'Only a Beginning' is the first comprehensive overview of anarchist theory and practice in North America from 1976 to the present. Compiled and edited by Allan Antliff, it documents over a quarter-century of grassroots activism, including protests and gatherings, art exhibitions, street theatre, Internet sites, and squats, as well as environmental and anti-globalization protests, the rise of anarchist-feminism, the fight for queer rights, indigenous struggles, and prisoners’ liberation. In today’s post-9/11 climate, protests against global trade deals, war-mongering, environmental destruction and other issues are becoming more frequent and high-profile. And in the midst of today’s radical upsurge, anarchism is the only real voice speaking out passionately for social revolution. Only a Beginning casts new light on the radical politics of the last quarter century and the centrality of anarchism for contemporary activism. Included are histories of major anarchist journals as well as essays on anarchist practices relevant to activist movements across North America. Lavishly illustrated with original artwork and photographs, 'Only a Beginning' is one of the most comprehensive collection of writings by anarchists ever assembled. Without a documentary history of anarchist organizations, theoretical developments, and activism we cannot build an effective movement. 'Only a Beginning' saves us from this fate. – Ann Hansen, author of 'Direct Action' ISBN: 1-55152-167-9 352pp, 29.95 Can$ / $24.95 US$ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
