Anthony T. Fiscella

Having researched the connections between Islam and anarchism for a number of years, our friend Anthony T. Fiscella has put together a zine entitled "Varieties of Islamic Anarchism: A Brief Introduction". You can read it here. There is also a ready-to-print version available to make your own zine - and distribute it!

Seven years later, Anthony T. Fiscella released the zine "Varieties of Jewish Anarchism: A Brief Introduction", which we also provide as a free download. There's also a version layouted for printing it as a zine, which you can find here.

Anthony T. Fiscella has also written comments for AAP on the exchange between Gabriel Kuhn and Mark Bray regarding Bray's book Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street (Zero Books, 2013). Fiscella's piece is titled "Comments on Translating Anarchism, Occupy Wall Street, and Prospects for Revolution Today". Kuhn's original review of Translating Anarchy can be found here.

Philippe Kellermann

In September 2013 we ran a special feature on the work of Philippe Kellermann, a German anarchist scholar who focuses in particular on the relationship between anarchism and Marxism. The feature consisted of the publication of three previously unpublished essays by Kellermann.

(1) Massen*Revolution*Subjektivität: Fragen über Fragen
(2) ...ein auf ewig verpasster Zug? Über Möglichkeit und Notwendigkeit eines anarchistisch/marxistischen Dialogs auf Augenhöhe
(3) Die unausgeschöpfte Vielfalt kritischen Denkens. Ein Plädoyer für eine ernsthafte Auseinandersetzung mit der anarchistischen Theorie

Jonas Lundström

The power attached to language is often neglected, also in radical circles. While texts published in English quickly spread around the globe, many literary treasures penned in the tongue of a relative few remain confined to far smaller communities. In light of this, we are proud to present the concluding chapter of our Swedish friend Jonas Lundström's engaging 2014 release En förtryckares frihetliga fantasier in English translation.

Robert Saleem Holbrook

Robert Holbrook, or Saleem, as his friends call him, is a politicized prisoner being held by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. He contributes regularly to numerous publications. Here are German translations of two of his essays. Some of his writings in English can be found at freesalim.net.

(1) Vom Staatsfeind zum Feind des Staates
(2) Geschichten des Widerstandes fortsetzen: Zur Unterstützung politischer Gefangener

Bas Umali

Bas Umali, a comrade in Manila, makes strong contributions to the anarchist movement in the Philippines. Here is his key position paper which combines the principles of the traditional Philippine communities, the barangays, with a grassroots confederation ideal.

Archipelagic Confederation: Advancing Genuine Citizens' Politics through Free Assemblies and Independent Structures from the Barangay & Communities

Dialectical Historical Materialism: An Effective Tool for Authoritarian Politics, Dominance and Control in the Archipelago

Bas Umali's book Pangayaw and Decolonizing Resistance: Anarchism in the Philippines (PM Press, 2020), which includes both essays above, has been reviewed for AAP by Randy Nobleza.

In April 2022, we added a statement on the upcoming Philippine elections to the site, authored by a group of anarchists from the archipelago.

Gustav Landauer

We've been involved in two English Gustav Landauer publications, the pamphlet Anarchism in Germany and Other Essays and the book Revolution and Other Writings. We've also translated the Landauer essay »Arbeitselig« for our good friend Stevphen Shukaitis at Minor Compositions.
