Active Distribution Publishing

We teamed up with Crimethinc to release a small collection of works by the Russian anarchist Dmitry Petrov and his biography. Seen and approved by his friends and family we offer this booklet not as a statement of belief in any particular anarchist arguements that surround fighting in inter-state conflicts but because we recognise a comrade, even one we never met, when we see one. Dmitry Petrov: A Life in Combat is a 100 page A6 pocket book with a £2 cover price

A website dedicated to Dmitry is now up and running.

Also just released is the second in our co-publications with Pagini Libere of Romania. This is ‘A Brief History of Anarchism in Romania’ by Vlad Brătuleanu, a new text based on older ones that have not been available before in English.

June saw the release of two new books from Active both of which we are chuffed to be doing. Well Worth Fighting For is an inspiring book by two women who spent time in Rojava. My 83 year old Dad thought it was really good! The Over Privileged Human is also written by two women, this time discussing the relationship we have with the non human species on this planet, tis interesting stuff.

We converted a couple of classics into our fave A6 pocket book format, these include Chaz Buffe’s wonderful and timeless 20 Reasons to Abandon Christianity and Albert Meltzer’s Arguements for and Against Anarchism. Both oldies but goldies! We pocketsized the infamous Paris 68 text On the Poverty of Student Life how better to look cool on the bus than by taking a copy of this out on your way to attend a strike action! Our Punk and Anarchist Squats in Poland booklet got shrunk too and we reprinted the ever popular God and the State by Bakunin with a slightly rejigged cover. All are now availbale from the best radical outlets in Europe and from PM Press in the US too (or will be soon!)

Yep thats what our latest release is…. a story of anti-fascism written in English, Italian and Spanish. A project born of the desire to see more interesting and political texts made available to those intetrested in mastering more than just one language, Border Disorder gave us three in one book!

We have also reprinted a bunch of our pamphlets in A6 format recently, Anarchism Versus Prmitivism, What About The Rapists, Anarchism and Polamory etc etc are all available again!

Two of our titles have just come back from the printers. Both have bright yellow covers but there’s no connection between them otherwise except for being fascinating texts! Warp n Weft is now blessed with a thicker card cover that we will use on all our larger size books from now on. SCUM has a spine which our previous pocket book version of it did not! But more importantly we haven’t made any spelling mistakes in the title this time! Men eh! Sadly we had to increase the cover price of SCUM to £1.50, Warp n Weft remains at its £10 benefit price.
