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.
We copied another Detritus title which was itself a copy of an old booklet called Kropotkin Escapes . We made it a tad less fancy but did it as a benefit for the Lisbon anarchist space called Disgraca. It’s a smashing little booklet with great artwork by Julian Watson.
Our position as publishers of anti-speciest and vegan thought and progaganda took another boost from our relase of Straying With Street Dogs, A Dialogue On Animal Tainted Politics by Aron Nor and Eva Meijer. With a striking cover and gorgeous layout (laid out as ever nowadays by comrade Grecu) it’s another title that we had to repress almost immediately.
We started what we hope will be a long partnership with the Radical Poster Collective in the North of England by co-publishing two pocketbooks of posters. The first was Spain 1936-39, Revolution and Civil War Vol 1, the second tells the graphic story of Paris May ’68, Worker and Student Uprising. Both are beautiful little parcels of revolutionary inspiration in poster form.
Continuining our project to bring Crimethinc zines and booklets to Europe in a more pocket friendly manner we published Mutual Aid, The Commons, and the Revolutionary Abolition of Capitalism which according to them “revisits the difference between mutual aid and charity, and explores what mutual aid has to do with revolution.” And we also A6’d their In a World of Climate Disasters, Let’s Talk About Real Solutions by Peter Gederloos that was first printed in Freedom. Late in the year we published Gaza, My Love: Ya Ghazze habibti, a Crimethinc booklet about Palestine from an anarchist perspective.
The anarcho historian and translator Iain Mckay continues to supply us with more texts to publish and so we knocked out The 1848 Revolutions: An Anarchist Perspective and On (Anarchist) Organisation which thoroughly destroys the idea that anarchism is inherently contrary to organisation with plenty of examples and political philosophy.
After a chance encounter at a bookfair in Italy another well known anarchist historian started to help us with our texts. Ruth Kinna wrote a fab intro to our new version of Emma Goldman’s two texts in one booklet; Jealousy, Causes and a Possible Cure and Marriage and Love.
Their Wars – Our Dead, Anarchist Reflections on Anti-Militarism since the invasion of Ukraine was one of the full sized books we published. A collection of texts that clarify the classic anarchist critique of fighting in statist wars. Also in A5 size was the long overdue reprint of the very popular Feeding the Masses: a guide to vegan mass catering (4th Edition). It is an updated version with significant changes.
Our co-publishing proect with Rupture Press continued with the release of both books and pocketbooks. Ecological Authoritarian Maneuvers, Leninist delusions, co-optation, & anarchist love by Alexander Dunlap, critiques the work of Andreas Malm et al in a pocketbook form. The Savage Road: Rage & Revolt on the Ecuadorian Oil Frontier by Japhy Wilson is a full size book that examines the resistance to fossil-fuel industries. Another A5 book is Subversive Hope and Radical Conviviality, The life and Work of Gustavo Esteva which is pretty self explanatory. Conviviality and Resistance From Below, Ivan Illich’s legacy in Mexico, is by Elias Gonzalez Gomez. A We Without a State by Yásnaya Elena Aguilar Gil is a pocket book of essays that help make the idea of a future without the state real.
At the beginning of 2026 we will be releasing the long awaited reissues of the Spectacuar Times booklets along with other pocketbooks and a few books.
