Call for Participation: Balkan Anarchist Bookfair 2024

With great excitement we announce that, for the first time ever, the 16th edition of Balkan Anarchist Bookfair (BAB) will be held in Prishtina, Kosova, from 5th – 7th of July 2024.

What Happened to David Graeber?

From Los Angeles Review of Books

I BOW TO few in my admiration for the anthropologist, economist, radical leader, and delightful prose stylist David Graeber, who died unexpectedly in 2020 at the age of 59. Since I read his little book Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology in 2004, I’ve been telling anyone who seemed inclined to listen that he was the most important anarchist thinker since Peter Kropotkin, who died in 1921. His ideas, including those beautifully captured in his book Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011), helped motivate and shape the Occupy movement, which took inspiration from his commitments to radical democracy, egalitarianism, and “prefigurative politics”—the idea that people seeking to make a revolution should try to live and organize now in a way they’d want to arrange their lives together in the future.

The Year Ahead in 2024

From Surviving Leviathan with Peter Gelderloos

Hey everyone,

The second round of chemo has knocked me on my ass but, writing from bed, I wanted to get out a little newsletter.

This is a partially facetious, partially serious forecast for the next 15 years, or more specifically, an adjustment to what we might expect out of the next 15 years, as seen from this current bend in the road at the very beginning of 2024.
