New Year titles at Jura.
Hi Chumrads, First day open after the holiday and very few came in, but we seem to have had a few people in during our break - thanks to those who opened up. New titles: William Godwin: Philosopher, novelist, revolutionary, Peter Marshal, $39 (very important book about Godwin, who transformed ideas from the Enlightenment and the C19th Romantics into the beginning of the European anarchist tradition. Another great work by Peter Marshall); Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real Cool Cats: Pulp fiction and youth culture, 1950 to 1980, (eds, Iain McIntyre & Andrew Nette), $39 (Iain is a friend of Jura from Melbourne, so has placed Oz material in this book); 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance, Gord Hill, $16; Daring to Struggle, Failing to Win: The Red Army Faction's 1977 campaign of desperation, J. Smith & Andre, $8; (New Edition) Anarchy in Action, Colin Ward, $21 (one of my favourite books about the basics of anarchism - anarchist practice in the everyday life of ordinary people); Truths Among Us: Conversations on building a new culture, (ed) Derrick Jensen, $26; Setting Sights: Histories and reflections on community armed self-defence, (ed) scott crow, $32.50. Re-stocked titles: The Spitboy Rule: Tales of a Xicana in a female punk band, Michelle Cruze Gonzales, $21; Wildcat Anarchist Comics, Donald Rooum, $19.50; Birth of our Power, Victor Serge, $25; (from the troubled life, politics, and mind of Serge, but still worth a read); Lickin' the Beaters: Low fat vegan desserts, Siue Moffat, $14 (I'm not a vegan, but - read this, make the recipes, Yumm!). Seeyou at Jura, Sid. |
