'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'
