Protest Nostalgia

A review of 'Red Squared Montreal' by Norman Nawrocki

The 2012 student strike deserves its own literature, and Red Squared Montreal succeeds at least in capturing the dizzy heights of the protests. As both anarchist and poet, Nawrocki often knows just the right words to capture the elation, camaraderie, and terror of marching in the street and facing off against contemptuous police. However, the lack of curiosity about the people behind the conflict means the novel ultimately fails to communicate the stakes and experiences of the 2012 strike in human terms.

We interviewed Alejandro Civantos Urrutia, a researcher who specializes in anarchist books. We talked with him about his work "Leer en rojo. Auge y caída del libro obrero (1917-1931)" [Reading in Red: The rise and fall of the worker's book (1917-1931)] , published by the Anselmo Lorenzo Foundation in 2017; an essential book to understand the importance of anarchist books, and the key role of anarchist culture played when it was at its peak.

Review: Practical Anarchism: A Guide for Everyday Life

From Freedom News by Uri Gordon

OMG it’s an anarchist self-help book! No, not an ironic one for burnt-out activists. This is a guide to rethinking everyday life for readers with no priors. Each chapter in Practical Anarchism starts with a few bullet points (‘you aren’t your job’; ‘study can take place anywhere’; ‘rethink the arrangement of our lives’) and ends with FAQ (‘do I have to be polyamorous?’; ‘can I have my own toothbrush’?)

Eco-Utopia from Below

From New Politics By Daniel Fischer

At a time when much climate literature emphasizes inadequate “deals” with capitalism or catastrophe-prone nuclear and geoengineering technologies, it’s refreshing to read two uncompromising proposals for ecological revolution. Despite coming from different political traditions, anarchist and Marxist, they reach overlapping conclusions regarding the necessity to reject elites’ false solutions, reduce global production, support participatory planning, and establish healthier relations with nonhuman beings. With solutions at hand, and the dead-ends increasingly obvious, the ways forward appear to be getting clearer.
