With the ongoing economic war being waged on the poor and
working people of the world, one has to wonder why we aren’t trying something
different. Well in fact we are! The sudden attention towards anarchists in
Boston and across the country comes at a convenient time: Over the weekend of
November 9th-11th, Simmons College will host Boston’s second Anarchist
Bookfair. The fair will showcase literature from dozens of American and
Canadian radical publishers, and will include strategy sessions, speaker panels,
a radical film festival and, of course, books galore.

Why anarchy?
With the ongoing economic war being waged on the poor and
working people of the world, one has to wonder why we aren’t trying something
different. Well in fact we are! The sudden attention towards anarchists in
Boston and across the country comes at a convenient time: Over the weekend of
November 9th-11th, Simmons College will host Boston’s second Anarchist
Bookfair. The fair will showcase literature from dozens of American and
Canadian radical publishers, and will include strategy sessions, speaker
panels, a radical film festival and, of course, books galore. Among other
things, the bookfair will explore topics surrounding the worldwide struggles to
destroy racism, sexism, classism, transphobia, capitalism, homophobia, ageism,
ableism, wage slavery, and all other forms of oppression.
The goal of the weekend is to connect activists, anarchists,
academics, and the curious in a show of organization, direct democracy,
anti-authoritarianism, autonomy and solidarity.
The Boston Anarchist Bookfair anticipates that hundreds of
activists, organizers, students and professors from Boston, the Northeast, and
Canada will come together this weekend to discuss and learn from each other in
a time in which the ideas, methods, and tactics of anarchism are more important
than ever.
The full schedule of events, films and speakers and a list
of attending publishers and organizations can be found at http://www.bostonanarchistbookfair.org/.
The Bookfair is being graciously hosted and sponsored by the
Progressive Librarians' Guild at Simmons College.
