About This Issue – ARB #11 Winter/Spring 2026

From The Anarchist Review of Books

Welcome to the 11th issue of the Anarchist Review of Books, produced by a collective based in Atlanta, Baltimore, Belfast, Brussels, Chicago, Detroit, Dublin, Exarchia, London, New York, Oakland, and Richmond. We bring you this issue at the heart of a bitter cold winter as U.S. federal troops hunt, detain, deport and murder human beings in the name of the law.

What we did last year

From Active Distribution

Boy do I suck at this “keeping social media up to date” lark! Anyway here’s a quick resume of what we published in the second half of 2025.

We started what hopefully will be a whole bunch of books looking at the black anarchist experience with two pocket books featuring Ashanti Alston and William C.Anderson in Black Anarchist Futures and Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin, JoNina Abron-Ervin and Modibo Kadalie in Black Anarchist Legacies.

Appropriating the Bookfair: A Reportback from Constellation 2025

From Montreal Counter-Information

We heard you like reportbacks from anarchist festivals; may others from this one follow. May 15th-21st, 2025 in Montreal was the second edition of Constellation. Over seven days, there were book launches, parties, benefit shows, bike rides, a book arpentage, a squatted rave in an abandoned magic store, a barbecue, a barbecue that blocked fascists, a mesh networking day, a radical consent workshop, and more. People attended from across the country, from south of the border, and from overseas, and events consistently saw packed rooms, even when there were five happening at the same time.
