Only A Beginning: An Anarchist Anthology

Description

Drawing on a wide range of anarchist publications in Canada, Only a Beginning is the first comprehensive overview of anarchist theory and practice in North America from 1976 to the present. In today's post-9/11 climate, major demonstrations attempting to resist globalisation, war-mongering, and anti-environmental policies, among others, are becoming more organised and high-profile, while at the same time are subject to increasing suspicion and repression by politicians and police. It seems at times that anarchism is the only real voice speaking out.

Allan Antliff is the Canada Research Chair at the University of Victoria. He is the author of Anarchist Modernism: Art, Politics and the First American Avant-Garde, has written extensively for the anarchist press, and is currently contributing editor to the Alternative Press Review and art editor of Anarchist Studies.

"Without a documentary history of anarchist organisations, theoretical developments, and activism we cannot build an effective movement. Only a Beginning saves us from this fate." - Ann Hansem, author of Direct Action"
