Out now: African Anarchism
The FOURTH bolo'bolo edition of this one-of-a-kind book by Sam Mbah and I.E. Igariwey, essential for anyone with an interest in radical politics on the African continent. Available from various CT and JHB bookstores or directly from us.
ABOUT US
Bolo’bolo is a collectively run anarchist publisher. We host the Anarchist Winter School and the annual Cape Town Anarchist Bookfair. We also occasionally screen documentaries via our Unblinking Eye film club.
Our publishing project grew out of the bolo'bolo infoshop and vegan coffee house, which we ran collectively for two years in Lower Main Rd, Observatory, distributing materials related to anarchism and other forms of radical politics, grassroots environmentalism, animal rights, veganism, LGBTQIA issues, counterculture, cutting-edge philosophy, black consciousness and more.
COMING UP
The Anarchist Winter School May-July
We're running an eight week winter school covering the history and ideas of anarchism and its contemporary relevance. Click here to view details.
bolo'bolo and the individuals forming part of the bolo'bolo collective accept no responsibility for any loss, damage, death, rioting, insurrection, change of values or loss of faith in capitalism and the state whatsoever.
