Shutdown: The Rise and Fall of Direct Action to Stop the War - Sticks and Stones (Director)

It was a mass uprising that forced the police to declare the financial district "shut down." The planning and outreach coordinated by Direct Action to Stop the War (DASW), filled downtown San Francisco with approximately 15,000 people c...

Waiting for Lightning to Strike: The Fundamentals of Black Politics - Kevin Alexander Gray

The Year that saw an African-American run for the presidency as the nominee of the Democratic Party for the first time in U.S. history also witnessed a truly remarkable silence—one that was scarcely coincidental. In all the millions of words written about a political ascent of one black man, there
was virtually nothing about the descent of black leadership into well nigh total ineffectiveness. B...

Abolition Now!: Ten Years of Strategy and Struggle Against the Prison Industrial Complex - CR-10 Publications Collective (Editor)
Today, over seven million people live under the control of U.S. jail, prison, probation, or parole systems—the vast majority of them people of color and young people. Between 2000 and 2007, Congress added 454 new offences to the Federal criminal code. Policing at all levels is increasingly militarized and demands more and more resources. The crisis shows no signs of slowing.
For a decade, Critical R...

We The Anarchists!: A Study Of The Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI) 1927–1937 - Stuart Christie
At last. A serious examination of the legendary FAI. And hence, by necessity, a history and analysis of the organised anarchist movement in Spain, and its relationship with the wider labor movement. By far the best book on the subject, Christie is ruthless in his examination - from an anarchist perspective - of the theory, and practice of this loose-knit group of anarchist militants. Required reading for eve...

"We come to Shannon Airport to carry out an act of life-affirming disarmament in a place of preparations for slaughter."

On a damp night in February 2003, as the U.S. prepared to invade Iraq, five Catholic Worker activists scrambled across runways and broke into a hangar at Shannon Airport. Swinging hammers and a pickaxe, they did more than $2.5 million damage to a U.S. Navy transport plane.|

Partisanas: Women in the Armed Resistance to Fascism and German Occupation (1936–1945) - Paul Sharkey (Translator), Martha A. Ackelsberg (Introduction by), and Ingrid Strobl
Common perception of women during wartime relegates them to the sidelines of history—working in munitions factories, or waiting for their men to return. The truth is that much of the resistance to fascism should be chalked up to the people whom official accounts have nothing to say. Partisanas excavates the history of women who planted bombs, shouldered guns, and were among the most active parti...
