Anarchism: A Documentary History of Libertarian Ideas

Volume One of Robert Graham's much anticipated anthology of historic anarchist writings, Anarchism: A Documentary History of Libertarian Ideas, subtitled From Anarchy to Anarchism (300 CE–1939), will be published by (Black Rose Books) at the end of March 2005.

The collection includes signicant material from China, Japan, Korea and Latin America that has never before appeared in English, together with newly translated European materials and selections from several out of print and difficult to find sources.

Topics covered include Daoist anarchy, freedom and servitude, enlightenment and revolution, the industrial revolution and the emergence of socialism, the Paris Commune and the First International, anarchist communism, anarcho-syndicalism, art and anarchy, anarchy and education, women, love and marriage, propaganda by the deed and direct action, anti-militarism and anti-colonialism, fascism and the rise of totalitarianism, technology and the organization of work under capitalism, and the Mexican, Russian and Spanish Revolutions.

In addition to the usual suspects (Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman, etc.), contributors include Gustav Landauer, Jean Grave, Voltairine de Cleyre, Ba Jin, Manuel Gonzalez Prada, Herbert Read, Sebastien Faure, and several other authors whose work has never before been translated into English. For a full table of contents, check out the Black Rose website (note that the book will be over 500 pages long, not the 300 pages listed in the catalog).
