AK PRESS WINTER 2018–19

Things are heating up—and we’re not just talking about climate change.

It seems everywhere you look there’s a hot mess or flaming nightmare to sear your eyeballs and melt your brain. Bad news comes at a rate so dizzying that it’s hard to see any clear path forward. Well, that’s one thing that books are for. They slow us down and, without diminishing our sense of urgency, allow us to really think about the world around us. AK Press has been publishing books for that purpose for almost three decades. It’s our calling and our commitment. Thanks for reading!

A BE OUR FRIEND! A “Every blow given to the institutions of private property and to the government, every exaltation of the conscience of man, every disruption of the present conditions, every lie unmasked, every part of human activity taken away from the control of the authority, every augmentation of the spirit of solidarity and initiative, is a step towards Anarchy.”

—Errico Malatesta, “Verso l’anarchia,” December 9, 1899 Books as tools. Books as weapons. Each one moving us a little closer to a better world. That’s why we publish them: we feel a responsibility to help people cut through the lies we’re fed every day, and to inspire them—you—with the belief that another world is indeed possible.

To do that, we need your help. We’ve been trying to increase our output and outreach—producing more books, launching a new pamphlet series, supporting more political prisoners, and offering more mutual aid to our comrades. One of the most consistent and dependable ways people help us weather political and economic storms is through our subscription program: The Friends of AK Press.

Friends guarantee that we can afford to print the books that will become weapons in the battles ahead. You chip in a fixed amount each month and, in return, you get : A A copy of every new book we publish A 50% off everything we have ever published (AK Gear as well) A 20% off everything we distribute Our wish-list of projects far outstrips our ability to pay for them. The more Friends we have, the more ideas become realities. Please spread the word. And if you have anything to spare, please choose the membership option that works best for you! You can get books, e-books, both, or send books to someone in prison.

Snapshots of Europe’s Anti-Fascist Struggle PATRICK STRICKLAND

“In Alerta! Alerta! [Strickland] provides a cleareyed portrait of Europe’s anti-fascist resistance that is utterly essential in the era of Trump.”

—Molly Crabapple, author of Drawing Blood The anti-authoritarian left was fighting far-right populism and neo-Nazis long before the mainstream media became aware of such groups.

Zooicide Seeing Cruelty, Demanding Abolition SUE COE With an essay by STEPHEN F. EISENMAN

“Coe’s righteous anger, not to mention her confident hand and riveting compositions, will hold your eye and haunt your mind.” —The New Yorker Sue Coe employs her bold artistic style to confront the institution of zoos, showing that they are inherently cruel and why the solution is not to reform them, but to abolish them. As long as animals are considered property, they are treated as things, with no rights—things that can be caged, bred, abused, or killed for profit and entertainment.

Includes an essay, “The Capitalist Zoo,” by Stephen F. Eisenman.

AK PRESS | New Releases Feminisms in Motion Voices for Justice, Liberation, and Transformation Edited by JESSICA HOFFMANN & DARIA YUDACUFSKI

“Feminisms in Motion provides both a historical record of significant antiracist feminist interventions and a roadmap for moving us in the direction of freedom and justice.” —Angela Y. Davis

284 pp. | $20.00 9781849353342

Feminisms in Motion brings together inspiring feminist writers—Alexis Pauline Gumbs, adrienne maree brown, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, and more—articulating ideas from the grassroots and amplifying feminist voices on immigration, state violence, climate change, and other issues. This book is a tribute to the long and rich tradition of women-of-color-centered feminisms that know ending one form of violence demands the transformation of society on multiple fronts.

Resisting Illegitimate Authority A Thinking Person’s Guide to Being an AntiAuthoritarian—Strategies, Tools, and Models BRUCE E. LEVINE

276 pp. | $18.00 9781849353243

2

The capacity to comply with abusive authority is humanity’s “fatal flaw.” Fortunately, there are antiauthoritarians comfortable questioning and resisting illegitimate authority. However, as Bruce Levine reveals, these rebels are regularly scorned, shunned, financially punished, psychopathologized, criminalized, and even assassinated. Resisting Illegitimate Authority provides political, spiritual, philosophical, and psychological tools to help those suffering violence and vilification in a society whose most ardent cheerleaders for “freedom” are often its most obedient and docile citizens. Discussing antiauthoritarian approaches to depression, relationships, and parenting, Levine says that far from being a disease, disobedience may be our last hope.

AK PRESS | New Releases Proletarian Days A Hippolyte Havel Reader HIPPOLYTE HAVEL Edited by NATHAN JUN

In this, the first published collection of writings by Hippolyte Havel (1871–1950), Nathan Jun brings a crucial, yet largely forgotten revolutionary figure back into historical focus. Havel was a Czech anarchist at the center of New York’s political and artistic circles at the turn of the twentieth century.

He was an editor of numerous publications, including Emma Goldman’s Mother Earth, and his influence on several writers, artists, and intellectuals—including Eugene O’Neill, Joseph Stieglitz, and Sadakichi Hartmann—helped shape American modernism. Proletarian Days provides an illuminating introduction to the man and his times.

With an introduction by Barry Pateman.

I Am Action Literary And Combat Articles, Thoughts, and Revolutionary Chronicles PRAXEDIS G. GUERRERO Edited by JAVIER SETHNESS-CASTRO

Praxedis G. Guerrero was a central figure in the transnational revolutionary network that sought to depose dictator Porfirio Díaz and promote anarchist revolution throughout Mexico. He was also one of the most prolific and talented revolutionary writers of the early-twentieth century, penning numerous articles that were known for both their literary style and their polemical force. In this volume, editor and translator Javier Sethness-Castro collects a wide range of Guerrero’s work for the newspapers Revolucíon, Punto Rojo, and Regeneracíon, most of them appearing for the first time in English. This volume also includes a biographical introduction and helpful annotations throughout.

AK PRESS | New Releases As Black As Resistance Finding the Conditions for Liberation ZOÉ SAMUDZI & WILLIAM C. ANDERSON Foreword by Mariame Kaba

160 pp. | $16.00 9781849353168

In the United States, struggles against oppression and movements for equality have often been led

by Black people. Though progress is fueled by radical Black efforts, liberal politics generally impede the liberation of Black America. Samudzi and Anderson show that anti-blackness is central to the foundational violence of the United States and to the racial structures upon which it is based as a nation. Racism is not simply a product of capitalism.

“Blackness” and “citizenship” are themselves exclusive categories. Rather than compromise or negotiation with intolerance, As Black as Resistance calls for a new program of self-defense and transformative politics for Black Americans.

The Duty to Stand Aside Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Wartime Quarrel of George Orwell and Alex Comfort ERIC LAURSEN

“A fascinating study of two remarkable twentieth century figures confronting perennial questions about war and the state.” —Noam Chomsky

184 pp. | $16.00 9781849353182

4

During World War II, George Orwell insisted that the left must unite behind Britain’s struggle against Nazism; Alex Comfort, author of The Joy of Sex, argued that it must criticize and “stand aside” from its government. The argument unfolded in publications on both sides of the Atlantic, igniting ideas that informed Orwell’s Nineteen EightyFour. Laursen surveys correspondence, wartime writings, and other materials to tell their story.

AK PRESS | New Releases Premonitions Selected Essays on the Culture of Revolt AK THOMPSON

“AK Thompson’s meditations on love and insurrection provide crucial tools for untangling the neuroses that pervade our culture of revolt.”—Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook Bringing together a decade of AK Thompson’s essays on the culture of revolt, Premonitions offers an engaged assessment of contemporary radical politics. Addressing themes ranging from violence and representation to Romanticism and death, Thompson combines scholarship and grassroots grit to disabuse readers— and rebels—of cherished certainties. Whether uncovering the promise buried in mainstream cultural offerings or tracing our course toward the inevitable moment of reckoning ahead, these essays are both practical investigations and prescient provocations.

Rethinking Anarchy Direct Action, Autonomy, Self-Management CARLOS TAIBO Translated by THE AUTONOMIES COLLECTIVE

“In [Taibo’s] books and lectures a mind both rational and kaleidoscopic emerges, from which flows an extremely subtle capacity for analysis.”

—Rebelión magazine Rethinking Anarchy is both an introduction to and in-depth interrogation of anarchism as political philosophy and political strategy. Taibo introduces the basic tenets of anarchism while also engaging the debates around each of them, producing a book that will appeal to beginners and readers with extensive knowledge of the insurgent political movement.

Topics include liberal versus direct democracy, the nature of the state, and how anarchism relates to feminism, environmentalism, and antimilitarism.

AK DISTRO | Commune Editions Cruel Fiction WENDY TREVINO

“Interweaving colonial and personal history, Wendy Trevino’s deceptively plainspoken poems carry readers back to an unsettled past where unity is not a precondition for concerted political action, but a product of it. Alert to such possibilities illuminated by an upsurge of radical social movements across the globe, these are wonderfully and militantly untimely poems.”

—Chris Chen, The New Inquiry

128 pp. | $16.00 9781934639252

Cruel Fiction brings together new material with celebrated work published here for the first time in book form. A spectacular debut trying to puzzle through our present, from the workplace to the pop charts but most of all to the politics of struggle.

The evidence is all around us: vast droughts that last decades, super-storms and floods that destroy cities, dwindling aquifers, vanishing glaciers, toxic water supplies, raging wildfires, obscure new diseases, vanishing species and indigenous communities. The Big Heat charts the battle lines for the future of the planet, from corporate villains to corrupt politicians and the fearless environmentalists who are standing up against the pillaging. This is an unflinching chronicle of the last fight that really matters.
