I don't know if this can be considered advertisement. I'm not affiliated with AK Press, but I am affiliated with anarchism. 🤔
Anyhow ....

AK Press is sprucing up their Working Classics series, which is great! When I realised I was interested in anarchism, I ordered the original four and got a deep dive. Recently, I read Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin's Anarchism and the Black Revolution, and while I know it's currently in print with Pluto, it would make such a good addition to the Working Classics series!! It's far more recent than their other options, written in a very grounded and accessible way (as opposed to, say, Anarcho-Syndicalism), and it's by and about Black struggle, which is largely absent from the series. If anyone was getting interested in anarchism, I'd recommend it to them in a heartbeat. Before Kropotkin, Goldman, and Bookchin and maybe even Graeber (depending on the person).
Read it here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/lorenzo-kom-boa-ervin-anarchism-and-the-black-revolution

A Continuous Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre, by Garrett Felber aims to make a fascinating life and #abolitionist legacy accessible and relevant to today’s liberation struggles. Released by AK Press on May 6, 2025.
(For each copy pre-ordered from #AKPress or #BurningBooks, a free copy of the paperback prison edition will be sent to an incarcerated reader.)

If you want to understand the #SpanishCivilWar's complexities, I strongly recommend Revolution and the State, by Danny Evans. He describes the large #anarchist #movement centered in #Catalonia, and how a multitude of organizations & strategic tendencies existed during the #CivilWar. While #anarchism struggled due to a lack of assistance from Western countries, and attacks by both fascists & Stalinists, compromises (e.g., joining the gov't) also forestalled the #SocialRevolution.

Looking forward to reading new book published by #AKPress about #MartinSostre

I rented the new film from Channel 5, "Dear Kelly", and I'm it watching now. Andrew is at a party and he's rockin' an AK Press hat. Hell yeah. I love that.

#CivilResistance scholarship recommends #SocialMovements adopt a #nonviolent (NV) strategy for #SocialChange. The #violence analyzed is usually #ArmedStruggle, but it recommends NV in all tactics (thus excluding property destruction, #rioting, confrontation w/ #police). Benjamin Case's excellent "Street Rebellion" shows movements involving rioting are more likely to be successful, largely b/c riots lead to wider #CivilSociety participation in movements. Well-researched book!

I enjoyed the short book written by Kadour Naïmi called "Freedom in Solidarity" about his time in France during the #May1968 uprising. His position as a Maoist (of sorts) and Algerian immigrant give him a fascinating perspective, and he's rather reflexive about those experiences. I particularly enjoyed the final chapter which describes the life-long impact the uprising had upon him: his involvement in #unions and #self-management initiatives, and radical #theater and writing. #Reading #AKPress

Did you know it's really hard to get access to a variety of books in prison? Did you know illiteracy is a huge issue among the prison population? Did you also know you can sponsor a prisoner to bring them quality books each month?
The good folks over at AK Press have a prisoner support program under their "Friends of AK Press" subscription service, where, for $15/mo, you can bring radical literature to some of society’s most oppressed individuals.
Prisoners are perhaps the most disempowered group in the US. Neo-nazi, white supremacist, and other gangs target prisoners for recruitment, preying on their vulnerable status as criminals. Bringing radical leftist literature to prisoners can help interrupt that process. Do you want to make a tangible difference in the world? Do you have $15 to spare a month? Then sponsor a prisoner, link with more details below

The theme, of course, is the attack on reproductive freedom and the rights of the Trans community.

If anyone is looking for a good independent press to support, this one is run by a workers collective since the 90s and is awesome for everything on anti-colonial, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-racist liberation, which includes books on organizing, science fiction, and self-care. #akpress #abolition #liberation #antiracism #decolonize #organizing #selfcare

I highly recommend the collection #CaptiveGenders on #AKPress, edited by Eric A. Stanley and Nat Smith if you want to learn more about #trans embodiment and the #PrisonIndustrialComplex for #TransgenderAwarenessWeek. It’s been an eye-opening read.
