In the history of struggle, it’s barely a blip. Radicals learn early that, if we’re not in it for the long haul, we’re not really in it at all. But for a radical grassroots publication like ours with no external funding, a volunteer editorial team, and an ambitious mandate of rigorous analysis and broad coverage, five years is quite an accomplishment. Although other radical publishing projects have recently fallen by the wayside, we’ve managed – incontrovertibly – to thrive. For this reason, we’re pleased to bring you Issue 10 of Upping the Anti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we started UTA in 2005, we could only guess at the resonance that a forum such as ours would have. We envisioned it as a space to critically assess the interwoven tendencies that define the politics of today’s radical left: anti-capitalism, anti-oppression, and anti-imperialism. We believed that, although they were inexact in their proclamations, these “antis” pointed toward a radical politics outside of the party-building exercises of the sectarian left and the dead end of social democracy. Judging from our growing subscription base and the increasing number of pitches and international inquiries we receive (not to mention the fruitfulness of our interactions with authors and readers), it seems that many others agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the current political period is fraught with difficulties, many radicals seem to recognize that it’s increasingly necessary to scrutinize our prevailing assumptions. And, while it’s never easy to step away from day-to-day activist work to engage in analysis, UTA has managed to become a dynamic space where organizers converge to discuss, debate, and devise movement strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Issue 10, contributors once again examine the vicissitudes of the current political moment. We begin with a series of letters submitted in response to the content of Issue 9. As always, these responses reveal gaps in analysis and illuminate the challenges of inter-movement dialogue. As editors, we have always conceived of this section of the journal as a unique space in which to develop habits of activist correspondence and analytic exchange, so please feel free to join the conversation!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our Editorial, we highlight the opportunity for anti-capitalist mobilization that arose with the financial crisis of 2008 and ask the urgent question: did we miss it? As we watch capitalism reinvent itself, we’re forced to come to terms with the fact that the left has lost the initiative and, for the most part, has adopted defensive postures. For radicals who want more than the preservation of past gains, this conjuncture demands that we carefully consider both our priorities and our strategies. In order to orient to this question, we refer to the lessons of BC’s Solidarity movement in the 1980s and the Days of Action against the Ontario Tories in the mid-90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKicking off our interviews section, Sharmeen Khan, David Hugill, and Tyler McCreary engage with well-known feminist activist and scholar Andrea Smith as she highlights the importance of “unlikely alliances” to movement building. Next, Chandra Kumar speaks with Patrick Bond about the challenges and possibilities confronting the climate justice movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe conclude with Robyn Maynard’s discussion with Jessica Yee and Nandita Sharma as they consider sex work, migration, anti-trafficking, and Indigenous struggles. In our articles section, AK Thompson assesses activist responses to Avatar and proposes that, rather than dismissing the film, our political objectives are better realized by highlighting the promise that mainstream audiences identified in it. Next, Tom Keefer critiques Frances Widdowson and Albert Howard’s claims in Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry and shows how Marxism and indigenism can mutually inform common struggles against capitalism. In our final article for this issue, Antonis Vradis and Dimitrios Dalakoglou explore the aftermath of the Greek revolt of 2008 and assess its impact and significance for ongoing struggles around the right to the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur roundtables begin with Nicole Cohen’s discussion of the challenges of radical publishing with participants from Left Turn, Canadian Dimension, The Dominion, Briarpatch, and Z Communications. Next, Samir Shaheen-Hussain brings together a group of former police trainees and officers who have quit the force and are now engaged in working against police repression. Our final roundtable, convened by Kelly Fritsch, considers the new wave of student occupations on US campuses and their implications for how we understand social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our reviews section, Jerome Klassen examines the relationship between imperialism and Canadian foreign policy in Yves Engler’s Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy. Next, Pat Harewood tackles David Austin’s important collection You Don’t Play With Revolution: The Montreal lectures of C.L.R. James and Noaman Ali considers John Saul’s Revolutionary Traveler. In our final review, Sara Falconer discusses Safiya Bukhari’s The War Before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we hope you find this, our tenth issue, to be engrossing and provocative.

As an intellectual (and author of the seminal utopian \u003cem\u003eNews From Nowhere\u003c\/em\u003e), his concern with artistic and human values led him to cross what he called the ‘river of fire’ and become a committed socialist—committed not to some theoretical formula but to the day by day struggle of working women and men in Britain and to the evolution of his ideas about art, about work and about how life should be lived. Many of his ideas accorded none too well with the reforming tendencies dominant in the Labour movement, nor with those of ‘orthodox’ Marxism, which has looked elsewhere for inspiration. Both sides have been inclined to venerate Morris rather than to pay attention to what he said. Originally written less than a decade before his groundbreaking \u003cem\u003eThe Making of the English Working Class\u003c\/em\u003e, E.P. Thompson brought to this biography his now trademark historical mastery, passion, wit, and essential sympathy. It remains unsurpassed as the definitive work on this remarkable figure, by the major British historian of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Two impressive figures, William Morris as subject and E. P. Thompson as author, are conjoined in this immense biographical-historical-critical study, and both of them have gained in stature since the first edition of the book was published… The book that was ignored in 1955 has meanwhile become something of an underground classic—almost impossible to locate in second-hand bookstores, pored over in libraries, required reading for anyone interested in Morris and, increasingly, for anyone interested in one of the most important of contemporary British historians… Thompson has the distinguishing characteristic of a great historian: he has transformed the nature of the past, it will never look the same again; and whoever works in the area of his concerns in the future must come to terms with what Thompson has written. So too with his study of William Morris.” —Peter Stansky, \u003cem\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e “An absorbing biographical study… A glittering quarry of marvelous quotes from Morris and others, many taken from heretofore inaccessible or unpublished sources.” —Walter Arnold, \u003cem\u003eSaturday Review\u003c\/em\u003e “Thompson’s is the first biography to do justice to Morris’s political thought and so assemble the man whole… It is not only the standard biography of Morris; it makes us realize, as no other writer has done, how completely admirable a man this Victorian was—how consistent and honest to himself and others, how incapable of cruelty or jargon and, above all, how free.” —Robert Hughes, \u003cem\u003eTime Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdward Palmer Thompson (1924–1993), was an English historian, writer, socialist and peace campaigner.

When I finally encountered Earth First! in person, what I saw was something quite different – a much more public organization, with an impressive array of campaigns and tree-sits . That myth never left me, however, and seemed to accompany Earth First! wherever it went. A couple years later, I had the privilege of seeing Peg Millett speak and perform at Laughing Horse Books in Portland, Oregon and got a glimpse of what was beneath the folklore. Peg and her group had been monkeywrenchers. The FBI had infiltrated them. They had served time in prison. More time passed, and I found myself in a very public role speaking on behalf of a new clandestine effort in defense of the wild, the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). I became intimately aware of the specifics surrounding the group’s actions, philosophy and history. I increasingly saw how each action and event played its own role, not just in the ELF’s progress, but the growth and evolution of the overall struggle. In February of 2002, a Congressional Subcommittee was held on “eco-terrorism” and an FBI agent briefly testified about a predecessor to the ELF, known as the Evan Mecham Eco Terrorist International Conspiracy (EMETIC). I had to know more. Who was this group? What had they done? How had they laid the foundation for the underground struggle that had enveloped my life? As yet more time has passed, I’ve now seen many people speak in vague and mystical terms about the Earth Liberation Front and have realized just how important it is to thoroughly and accurately document and publicize the histories of our freedom struggles. The first half of this 60-page booklet, published by Eberhardt Press and Burning Books, details EMETIC’s series of guerrilla sabotage actions against nuclear power plants, uranium mines and the Snow Bowl ski resort in the Grand Canyon region, as well as their arrests and subsequent trial. The second half is an interview I did with Peg Millett, fleshing out additional details and relating EMETIC to the ELF.

The world is reeling from the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression, with the threat of further meltdowns ever-looming. Global warming and myriad dire ecological disasters worsen—with little if any action to halt them—their effects rippling across the planet in the shape of almost Biblical floods, fires, droughts, and hurricanes. Governments warn that there is no alternative to the bitter medicine they prescribe—or risk devastating financial or social collapse. The right, whether religious or secular, views the present as catastrophic and wants to turn the clock back. The left fears for the worst, but hopes some good will emerge from the rubble. Visions of the apocalypse and predictions of impending doom abound. Across the political spectrum, a culture of fear reigns. \u003cem\u003eCatastrophism\u003c\/em\u003e explores the politics of apocalypse—on the left and right, in the environmental movement—and examines why the lens of catastrophe can distort our understanding of the dynamics at the heart of these numerous disasters—and fatally impede our ability to transform the world. Lilley, McNally, Yuen, and Davis probe the reasons why catastrophic thinking is so prevalent, and challenge the belief that it is only out of the ashes that a better society may be born. The authors argue that those who care about social justice and the environment should jettison doomsaying—even as it relates to indisputably apocalyptic climate change. Far from calling people to arms, they suggest, catastrophic fear often results in passivity and paralysis—and, at worst, reactionary politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Catastrophism comes at the right moment: 2012, the year of The End proclaimed across the political spectrum from deep ecologists to the Mayan Calendarists. Instead of concentrating on the merits of the claims of the various apocalypticians, Jim Davis, Sasha Lilley, David McNally, and Eddie Yuen examine the political function of these claims and find them to be deeply reactionary. This is a controversial book that challenges many of the unexamined assumptions on the left (as well as on the right). It is a warning not to abandon everyday anti-capitalist politics for a politics of absolute fear that inevitably leads to inaction.” —Silvia Federici, author of \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjM0MDE4In0=\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/products\/revolution-at-point-zero-housework-reproduction-and-feminist-struggle-second-edition\" title=\"Revolution at Point Zero\"\u003eRevolution at Point Zero\u003c\/a\u003e: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle \"Bravo!

Catastrophism captures a problem that few have seriously grappled with.

Definitive and momentous, this book should be mandatory reading for everyone who wishes to comprehend the world we live in and change it for the better.\"—George Katsiaficas, author of Asia’s Unknown Uprisings “This important book aims to end the politics of The End. The authors of Catastrophism claim that apocalyptic politics, though promising to motivate revolutionary transformation, all too often leads to a fear-induced paralysis and cynicism. This book provides a badly needed boost to our political immunity systems against the apocalyptic claims bombarding us in this purported terminal year for our planet.” —George Caffentzis author of In Letters of Blood and Fire “This groundbreaking book examines a deep current—on both the left and right—of apocalyptical thought and action. The authors explore the origins, uses, and consequences of the idea that collapse might usher in a better world.

The oceans are acidifying, whole mountains have been laid to waste, and the climate is teetering into chaos. Every biome is approaching collapse.

Earth at Risk: Building a Resistance Movement to Save the Planet is an annual conference featuring environmental thinkers and activists who are willing to ask the hardest questions about the seriousness of our situation. The conference is convened by Derrick Jensen, acclaimed author of Endgame, who has argued that we need a resistance movement against civilization itself. The twelve people in this volume present an impassioned critique of the dominant culture from every angle: William Catton Jr. explains ecological overshoot; Thomas Linzey gives a fiery call for community sovereignty; Jane Caputi exposes patriarchy’s mythic dismemberment of the Goddess; Aric McBay discusses historically effective resistance strategies; and Stephanie McMillan takes down capitalism. One by one, they build an unassailable case that we need to deprive the rich of their ability to steal from the poor and the powerful of their ability to destroy the planet.

The future is uncertain, probably fiery, and likely terrifying. Yet shifting weather patterns have threatened humans before, right here in North America, when people first colonized this continent. About 15,000 years ago, the weather began to warm, melting the huge glaciers of the Late Pleistocene. In this brand new landscape, humans managed to adapt to unfamiliar habitats and dangerous creatures in the midst of a wildly fluctuating climate. What was it like to live with huge pack-hunting lions, saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, and gigantic short-faced bears, to hunt now extinct horses, camels, and mammoth? Are there lessons for modern people lingering along this ancient trail?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shifting weather patterns of today—what we call \"global warming\"—will far exceed anything our ancestors previously faced. Doug Peacock's latest narrative explores the full circle of climate change, from the death of the megafauna to the depletion of the ozone, in a deeply personal story that takes readers from Peacock's participation in an archeological dig for early Clovis remains in Livingston, MT, near his home, to the death of the local whitebark pine trees in the same region, as a result of changes in the migration pattern of pine beetles with the warming seasons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoug Peacock is the author of \u003cem\u003eGrizzly Years, Baja, and Walking It Off: A Veteran’s Chronicle of War and Wilderness\u003c\/em\u003e.

The Arab Spring resulted in regime changes and a reconfiguration of imperial dynamics in most countries, while in Syria the war continues, with no clear trajectory of it ending. The indignados and Occupy Wall Street have changed the political landscape, but the Right has adapted, upping their anti against people of colour, immigrants, women, LGBTQ folks, and workers alike. The Right’s success in many governments continues to cement a neo-liberal agenda. Most recently, we see the beginning of the Trans Pacific Partnership but have yet to see a real opposition to it. While this may reveal instances of weakness, of course, we continue to resist. We continue to be inspired by the Chicago teachers’ strike and the Québec student strike, each of which effectively linked the struggles against oppression, capitalist exploitation, and imperialism. More recently, we have witnessed the fast food workers strike in the US go global, while Brazil erupts in protests triggered by the World Cup. However, the suppression of most uprisings and the limits of successful fights in the face of a strong, well-organized adversary should illuminate the magnitude of resistance work ahead. Such work needs to create a form of organization that will bring together those efforts and challenge capitalism and its forms of oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have recently lost a comrade in the struggle to challenge these systems. We open UTA 16 by honouring our friend and former UTA editor, Ali Mustafa, with an obituary written by Élise Thorburn and Irina Ceric.

His loss was felt all around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Upping the Anti, we believe that the organization capable of challenging capitalism, imperialism, and oppression will necessarily come out of the intersection of different struggles. This issue includes several pieces that seek to forge such intersections.

Jahangeer’s discussion with Délice Igicari Mugabo, a feminist organizer working in Québec, about the Québec Charter of Values and her involvement in the Federation of Women of Québec, as well as the importance of an intersectional approach to feminist organizing.

But until now, the essays collected here, originally published in obscure journals and political magazines, have been largely unavailable to the broad readership to which they are so naturally suited.

This appealing book not only questions our relation with the sea but aims to raise consciousness about the way we live our lives and the ecologic problematic we all face globally. Stressing the ‘polyvalence of the vital functions which the ocean represents,’ the authors explore how the relation of humans with the sea has become one of depredation and destruction for commercial purposes. The book deals with the implications of industrial fishing, aquaculture, aquafarming, and marine pollution, thus exploring not only the appalling consequences and damage for the marine and coastal ecosystems, but for the small communities all over the world whose livelihoods depend on the sea and who have been affected by this approach to the sea as a ‘usable object.’ It is in this context that the authors brilliantly relate the path of the movement of fishermen, a movement born in the seventies in India that has now spread all over the world. Under the banner of food sovereignty, this movement fights the neoliberal predatory assault and view of sea life as mere products, while struggling to establish a different relationship with the sea, a sustainable relationship with this source of life that ensures the protection of both the small coastal communities who ‘have always lived on the sea and of the sea’ and the sheltering of the beauties, habitats, and ecosystems of our mother ocean.\" —Massimo Modonesi, professor of history, sociology, and Latin American studies,director of the Department of Sociology of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Mariarosa Dalla Costa\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Monica Chilese\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781942173007\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 144 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Common Notions\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Common Notions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175213674589,"sku":"9781942173007","price":22.33,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/our_mother_ocean_cover_image.jpg?v=1654987904"},{"product_id":"learning-to-die-in-the-anthropocene","title":"Learning To Die In The Anthropocene","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Iraq War vet's bracing, visionary response to the challenge posed by global warming and his hope in the humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height:1.6\"\u003eComing home from the war in Iraq, US Army private Roy Scranton thought he'd left the world of strife behind.

Expanding on his influential New York Times essay (the #1 most-emailed article the day it appeared, and selected for Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014), Scranton responds to the existential problem of global warming by arguing that in order to survive, we must come to terms with our mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlato argued that to philosophize is to learn to die.

Though neoliberalism continues to find new footholds in this country and abroad, organizers and activists the world over continue to fight back. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the World Trade Organization (WTO) protests in Seattle. The year 1999 marked a shift in focus onto the power of multinational corporations and the pitfalls of globalization. Twenty years later, we see millions of people marching in Climate Strikes demanding an end to the destructive legacy of environmental collapse. The Grassy Narrows contingent in the Toronto march drove home the message that there can be no climate justice without Indigenous justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis year also marks the 100th year anniversary of the Winnipeg General Strike. As the topic of our editorial, researching and debating the Winnipeg General Strike helped us further understand the importance of the general strike as a weapon of the working class in this day as much as it was 100 years ago. Last spring, our comrade Sara Swerdlyk (Central European University) facilitated a \u003ci\u003eUTA\u003c\/i\u003e reading group focused on Rosa Luxemburg’s \u003ci\u003eThe Mass Strike\u003c\/i\u003e, helping us and our participants analyze her seminal work and debate its application in the present day. General strikes and mass protests lie at the crux of our liberatory movements, but what is the bedrock of fostering a culture of political participation that doesn’t entail casting a dead end vote? We can look to inspiration from the close to one million rallying and striking Pueto Ricans who demanded the ousting of Governor Rossello or the scores of Venezuelans who took to the streets to protest US imperialism and uphold democracy. Our cover art this issue depicts queer and feminist revolutionary graffiti from the Middle East and North Africa, including Kandaka, the symbol of the Sudanese anti-government revolt that has proven how the power of the people can topple long standing rulers. Palestinians continue to march for the right of return as Israel’s endemic apartheid state attempts to crush the spirit of resistance and Kashmiris around the world are protesting the brazen annexation and siege of their lands by the Indian state. The people of Unist’ot’en continue to resist settler colonial encroachment and violence, part of a 500-year legacy of Indigenous resistance to land theft and state-sanctioned murder. Connecting the dots between anti-colonial struggles to queer liberation, from radical unionism to resisting austerity, \u003ci\u003eUpping the Anti \u003c\/i\u003ealways strives to bring you, our reader, more insight into past and present murmurs, sparks, and explosions of resistance by showcasing the writing of brilliant thinkers and organizers on the radical Left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur issue starts off with letters to the editor, followed by our editorial on the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike in which we offer an overview of the history of the strike, its implications stretching the last 100 years, and our take on the impetus of the mass strike and popular movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our interviews section, Devin Clancy speaks with \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjEzNzQ2In0=\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/gord-hill\" title=\"Gord Hill\"\u003eGord Hill\u003c\/a\u003e about his work as a comics creator and movement organizer. We last interviewed Hill in 2009 for Issue 5 on the eve of his involvement with the anti-Olympics campaign in Vancouver. In this interview, Hill speaks about his beginnings as an anarchist punk zine creator and the shifting nature of movement art. Gord Hill also shares his thoughts on our contemporary moment and the necessity of anti-fascist organizing in the shadow of climate catastrophe. Next, Ryan Conrad interviews long-time queer liberation and anti-capitalist activist Gary Kinsman about his work to challenge the Liberal government’s pink-washing campaign celebrating the 1969 Criminal Code reform that decriminalized homosexuality. As a member of the Anti-69 organizing committee, Kinsman explains that the Liberal celebration of 1969 obscures how limited the criminal reforms actually were and squarely criticizes mainstream inaction on issues of police violence against queer and racialized communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur articles section is notably grounded, with a focus on the landscapes of organizing and resistance against capitalist speculation. First, Zachary Dark reflects upon the Rooster Town Blockade, a two-month long land occupation in Winnipeg, Manitoba, against the destruction of the Parker Wetlands by Gem Equities. Dark argues that the blockade brought together environmentalists and Indigenous activists in productive alliance, and should be understood as a form of “insurgent” urban planning. Next, in “The Ground Beneath our Feet,” Melissa Harrison writes about Prinzessinnengarten, a 6,000 m2 urban garden project in Berlin. Harrison explores the transformative potential of political gardening projects as a way of reclaiming our rights to the city through the practice of commoning. Commoning, Harrison argues, can be a powerful form of resistance to gentrification while simultaneously reanimating the grounds upon which our movements grow. Finally, in “Mining Makes this World Possible,” Merle Davis Matthews reflects upon the work of the Mining Injustice Solidarity Network, a Toronto-based group challenging the Canadian mining industry. By centering Indigenous resistance to mining, Davis mounts an explicitly anti-capitalist and anti-colonial critique in the hopes of building toward another world—one in which the land is not understood as an exploitable resource, but as a relationship of solidarity and accountability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe begin our roundtables section with a reflection on the 2018 CUPE 3903 strike against York University. Devin Clancy speaks with union organizers Karl Gardner, Chelsea Bauer, Susannah Mulvale, and undergraduate student organizer Karmah Dudin about the corporatization of post-secondary education, and the need for teachers and students to organize together to challenge the gutting of our public education system. The participants reflect upon lessons learned in organizing, and what forms of organizing exerted pressure on York and its Board of Governors, while also speaking to the aftermath of the strike and our current moment. In “Twenty Years of Organizing,” Sharmeen Khan, along with \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjkwNzgifQ==\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/cindy-milstein\" title=\"Cindy Milstein\"\u003eCindy Milstein\u003c\/a\u003e and Aaron Lakoff, reflects on anti-capitalist organizing emergence of the anti-globalization movement in the late 1990s. Transcribed and edited from a panel discussion at the 20th Anniversary of the Montréal Anarchist Bookfair, the three revolutionaries reflect on changes in radical movements as we move from “Another World is Possible to the Possible End of the World.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLast, but not least, we have three excellent book reviews. In “Rupturing Settler Myths,” Alie Hermanutz reviews Andrew Crosby and Jeffrey Monaghan’s \u003ci\u003ePolicing Indigenous Movements, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich shines light on the dominant myths of the Canadian security apparatus about the supposed security risk that Indigenous nations represent. Next, Scott Price reviews Owen Toews’ \u003ci\u003eStolen City\u003c\/i\u003e, which he describes as necessary reading for activists organizing at the nexus of gentrification and settler colonialism. Finally, Amelia Spedaliere reviews \u003ci\u003eOccult Features of Anarchism: With Attention to the Conspiracy of Kings and the Conspiracy of Peoples\u003c\/i\u003e by Erica Lagalisse. This book sparks debate around the intersections of spirituality and activism by drawing the historical connections between early Renaissance spiritual sects and societies and the development of radical movements, with a focus on anarchism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces above would not have come to fruition were it not for our invaluable advisory board, associate editors, transcribers, and proof-reading volunteers.

In this collection of urgent essays, the Out of the Woods collective argues that hope emerges from the acts of solidarity in the face of crisis that they term ‘disaster communism.’ Surveying four key terrain of social struggle around the ecological crisis—borders, nature, futures, and strategies—Out of the Woods plot an environmental politics grounded in antiracist, decolonial, and anticapitalist movements and solidarities.

In order to wrest complete control over the globe and feed a rapacious thirst for resources and wealth, the American ruling elite is wreaking havoc around the world. Meanwhile, average Americans are suffering, legs trembling under a mountain of debt as they toil at unfulfilling, underpaying jobs.

But somehow comedian and TV host Lee Camp makes it both funny and interesting. Whether he is setting his sights on the scandal of $21 trillion worth of unaccounted-for financial adjustments at the Pentagon or the scorching environmental and human tragedy caused by climate chaos, it’s unsurprising that one of our most incisive political commentators is technically a comedian. Camp knifes his way through the jungle of fake news, alternative facts, mainstream media lies, and government blackouts, trailblazing a path between Hunter S.

Judith Dellheim and Jason Prince have brought together some of the most important examples from around the world.... There is nothing like it.

Indeed, it is just the opposite… not only is free transit eminently achievable, but the benefits can be profound.… For those who remain skeptical that another city is possible, this collection offers a ray of hope and a much needed message: ‘Free transit works, it can be won, get on board!’” KAFUI ATTOH, Assistant Professor of Urban Studies, Joseph S.

Alone this would be a brilliant analysis of one of the most significant social movements of this century. But embedded in the story and inseparable from it is the centuries long history of the Oceti Sakowin’ resistance to United States’ genocidal wars and colonial institutions. And woven into these entwined stories of Indigenous resistance is the true history of the United States as a colonialist state and a global history of European colonialism.

The book slips through time, evoking the scent of campfire that once indicted Indigenous people in the 19th century, a smoke that still lingers on twenty-first century Water Protectors and marks them as enemies of the state. This utterly astonishing book imparts the long history of Indigenous people, their relatives, and their struggle for liberation against capitalist North America’s settler colonial violence.
