Literature

There are alot of good things worth reading out there. Unfortunately there are many more crappy things. Worst of all, most people find it difficult to agree on which is which. At the very least, none of the following titles fall into my crappy category. In fact, some of them I really like. For literature that i am less picky about, but which you may nevertheless appreciate, you should also check out my new Remainder Book List (or download the PDF version ).

Anti-Mass - methods of organization for collectives , $2.50  

The Arcane of Reproduction - Housework, Prostitution, Labor and Capital, by Leopoldina Fortunati. While I cannot honestly recommend this book, i am sure it will be of interest to some. I suspect part of the problem is in the translation, and an original text that was probably laden with jargon - or pehaps it is simply like a friend said: "Steeped in the canon." The thing is that even after scratching through the verbiage, i'm left with the feeling that maybe just maybe even if it were written in plain language, i would still not agree with Fortunati's argument.
That said, given how we often continue to not pay enough attention to questions of unwaged labour, including housework, and the continuing dearth of analysis of the role of prostitution in making capitalism tick, it is always nice to see someone trying to grapple with these questions. I'm halfway through the book now, so i may rewrite this when i get to the end... 176 pages   $12.00

As Nature Made Him
As Nature Made Him, by John Colapinto, read by Howard McGillin. The story of David Reimer who's botched circumcision as a baby resulted in him living the first 14 years of his life as a girl. Yet at age 14, he makes the decision to live life as a male. David's early life was used as the example that gender identity was based on physical biology/nurture, whereas Reimer's decision to reject Dr John Money's insistence that he "conveniently" become female has been embraced by the trans-community as an example of individual gender freedom being more important than theories from the "experts".

Facing the Enemy
Facing the Enemy: A History Of Anarchist Organisation From Proudhon To May 1968, by Alexander Skirda. Critical and engaged, Skirda offers biting and incisive portraits of the major anarchist thinkers, and more crucially, the organizations they inspired, influenced, came out of and were spurned by. Opinionated and witty, he is equally at home skewering the actions of the early anarchist Victor Serge as he is the Paris chief of police who organized undercover "anarchist bombers" in an attempt to infiltrate and discredit the movement. Bakuninist secret societies; the Internationals and the clash with Marx; the Illegalists, bombers and assassins; the mass trade unions and insurrections; and, of course, the Russian and Spanish Revolutions are all discussed through the prism of working people battling fiercely for a new world free of the shackles of Capital and the State.

An exception was the anarchist newspaper L'Aurora, based among Italian miners in Spring Valley, Illinois, and edited by the author of this pamphlet. This newspaper spoke up stongly in defense of the assassination, and found itself in the crosshairs of the State. This pamphlet consists of writings and statements from the time of the assassination, centering on the repression faced by Ciancabilla. 28 page $3.50

FreeWomen of Spain
Free Women of Spain: Anarchism and the Struggle for the Emancipation of Women, by Martha A. Ackelsberg. Cowards don't make history; and the women of Mujeres Libres (Free Women) were no cowards. Courageous enough to create revolutionary change in their daily lives, these women mobilized over 20,000 women into an organized network during the Spanish Revolution to strive for community, education, and equality for women and the emancipation of all. Militants in the anarcho-syndicalist CNT union, Mujeres Libres struggled both against fascism, the state, and reaction; and the less than supportive attitudes and concerns of their male comrades. Martha Ackelsberg writes a comprehensive study of Mujeres Libres, intertwining interviews with the women themselves and analysis connecting them with modern feminist movements. This new edition includes additional research Ackelsberg carried out for the Spanish language edition, together with a brand new introduction written in the light of the new social movements, and resurgence of anarchism, post-Seattle. 287 pages $20.00

Guns for Hire
Guns for Hire: How the CIA and U.S. Army Recruit Mercenaries for White Rhodesia, a historical reprint. A collectors item from the anti-colonial struggles of the seventies. This text details how the US military and CIA colluded with Solider of Fortune magazine and others to send white mercenaries to fight for the Ian Smith regime in Rhodesia. While the nitty gritty details are mainly of historical significance, given the heavy reliance on "contractors" in Iraq and elsewhere, the broad outlines of this work remain relevant today. From the introduction by Jon Dough: "Although the CIA's mercenary operation for Zimbabwe had failed in the end, the machinery remains as a covert weapon that can be restarted and put to use in new imperialist interventions and wars in the Global South. That's why this investigative report still has useful knowledge for everyone tracking the bloody footprints of the u.s. empire."

The New State Repression, by Ken Lawrence with an introduction by Kristian Williams. First published in 1985, this is a short essay and analysis of the theory (and practice) of permanent repression. It posits that the state now views insurgency of the oppressed as a permanent condition, and hence has reacted accordingly – a strategy of permanent repression as the full-time task of the security forces. The author draws on the theories of low-level counter-insurgency, developed by the British in Northern Ireland and Kenya, and how it was applied here in North America during the Reagan era. For what it’s worth, Ken Lawrence was one of those radicals who had been part of the Sojourner Truth Organization. In this new edition, Kristian Williams points to the continuing relevancy for this analysis today. 24 pages - Tarantula Publishing $3.00

Outlaws of America; The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity, by Dan Berger. The best book devoted to the Weather Underground so far. Berger is both sympathetic and critical of Weather, but from a left-wing perspective.

Pages from Italian Anarchist History
Pages from Italian Anarchist History, by Andrea Ferrari and Aldo Aguzzi. This pamphlet includes two essays - Ferrari's "The Anarchism of the Cervi Brothers" and Aguzzi's "Italian Anarchist Volunteers in Barcelona and the Events of May 1937". These take on two different aspects of the anti-fascist fight: the struggle of the partisans in Reggio Emilia, and the contribution of the Italian volunteers in Spain in 1937. Both essays share a common, tragic, subtext: the sacrificing of libertarian communist revolutionaries (and of the revolutions they fought for) by an "official" Communism dictated from Moscow. In a postscript on the recent trial of comrades in Italy, Greece and Scotland, the continuity of anarchist resistance in Italy, and the need for international solidarity, is shown clearly. 19 pages $2.50

The People Decide: Oaxaca’s Popular Assembly, by Nancy Davies. In one of the authors first dispatches she explains that “Oaxaca is a perfect example of a place where those in power see the collapse of order – their order. The violence escalates more in line with their fear than with ours. When they start beating up photographers and shoving around elderly women, they must be frantic.” It was on June 14, when thousands of striking teachers – who had been joined by other social movements in their Oaxaca city encampment – beat back a dawn invasion by 3,000 state and municipal police, that Davies’ reports documenting the “collapse of order” began to be taken seriously... More than seven months later, Oaxaca is known around the world for the rebellion through which people took back control of the state capital and other municipalities for more than four months, chased out the repressive police corps and political bosses, seized control of the radio and television airwaves, and constructed an alternative government from below. 234 pages - Narco News Limited Collector's Edition Galleys $20.00

People's War... Women's War?
People's War... Women's War? two texts by Comrade Parvati of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) with commentary by Butch Lee. A looik at women's role in the Nepalese Revolution, and the relationship of women to Maoism and revolution in general. The two main texts in this pamphlet are reprints of essays by Comrade Parvati, one of the few women in the central committee of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). In her interview with People's March, and her essay The Question of Women's Leadership in People's War in Nepal, Parvati is refreshingly critical and honest in her appraisal of the role of women in the CPN(M)'s peasant guerilla army, drawing conclusions regarding the connections between patriarchy and the defeat and degeneration of past communist revolutions, and the centrality of women to any successful communist revolution. Commenting on these texts, North American Amazon theorist Butch Lee examines the mixed record of Marxism-Leninism and Maoism in regards to women's liberation, the role of women in armed struggle, and the role of armed struggle in winning and defending freedom and autonomy for women and children.

Reading Capital Politically
