The book is Keywords for Radicals: A Late Capitalist Vocabulary of Culture and Society. For those of you who know Raymond Williams’ classic Keywords, the title may be self-explanatory. It’s [...]
Books of the Future: Forthcoming Titles from AK Press

A Spanish Revolution Reading List
Thursday, July 17th, 2014On this day in 1936, fascists in Spain launched a coup to topple the country’s Republican government. They got more than they bargained for: within days workers and peasants across the country fought back for a world without government. This, of course, seems like a good time to share a sampling of the many, [...]
Get ready for THE NEW BRAZIL
Tuesday, April 29th, 2014Remember when Lula’s election in Brazil offered some pretense of hope to certain folks on the international left?

Revolution Is a Real Riot
Thursday, April 17th, 2014We’re counting the minutes. At some point today, a truck will arrive with newly minted copies of our Malatesta anthology: The Method of Freedom. We’re all big fans of Malatesta’s thought and writing, his tactical insights, his no-nonsense approach, and his uncommon ability to remain generous and comradely even as he debates opponents into smithereens. [...]

Thursday, February 27th, 2014It wasn’t your fault; it was never your fault. You did nothing wrong. Hold this tight to your heart: it wasn’t your fault. At night when you lay there and your mind fills with images and you wonder if only, if you had . . . if you hadn’t . . . . Remember: it [...]

Editor Kate Khatib Reflects on We Are Many, our new Occupy book (#WeAreMany #Occupy)
Tuesday, September 11th, 2012I remember sitting in Minneapolis last November chatting with a dear friend, talking about upcoming book projects, and him asking: So who do you have doing an AK Press book on Occupy? It was a good question. I thought about it, weighed the options, talked to authors, activists, and organizers, and came to the conclusion [...]
