Add Fuel to the Fire! Join the Friends of AK Press.We started the Friends of AK Press program soon after AK Press was born twenty-five years ago. The idea itself was older than that; it reached back to the nineteenth-century when similar subscription-based forms of mutual aid kept anarchist publishers alive. The capitalist market is not kind to radical presses, nor should we expect it to be. But even running things on the sort of shoestring budget AK has isn’t easy—which is why we have Friends to take up the slack.

Here’s how it works: People (like you!) who are committed to our shared cause donate a small—or as large as they want—amount each month. We give them every new book we publish, plus discounts on everything else, and the occasional surprise. And ultimately, the presses keep rolling and we all contribute to getting revolutionary texts into as many hands as we can.

Not to mention how absolutely crucial the support of our Friends has been during periodic crises like our warehouse fire this past March—and the move we will soon have to make to a new warehouse. It also says something important about anarchist and anti-authoritarian movements that Friends subscriptions always tend to increase when the going gets rough for us. So, thanks!

Take a look at the forthcoming AK Press titles in this catalog (and an even bigger list on our website) for some idea of the great books Friends of AK Press can expect in the coming months. It will look just as good for the coming years, and decades if we have any say in the matter. If you like what you see, or know someone who would, please consider signing up. There are a bunch of membership options, including ways to donate dis-counted subscriptions for incarcerated folks, at: http://www.akpress.org/friends.html.

Catalog cover design by Josh MacPhee, adapted from his design for the forthcoming book The Anarchist Expropriators by Osvaldo Bayer.

Summarizing twenty-five years of an anarchist organization—hell, any organization—is no easy task. Memories and opinions of the participants differ greatly, so thankfully Eric Laursen agreed to lend his expertise to the task. Placing our history in a larger context loses some of the personal reflection you might expect, but depersonalizes a project that isn’t really about specific individuals. Our supporters over the years number in the tens of thousands, direct volunteers in the hundreds, collective members almost fifty.

That said, the current collective is certainly passionate about its history, present, and future. Making it for twenty-five years is a significant milestone. Making it this long without a wealthy benefactor, weathering the storm between ex-istence and collapse, yet thriving in spirit feels like a major achievement.

The next twenty-five years will require new strategies for engaging a dis-tracted culture in a fraying economy. The broader publishing world is in-creasingly relying on data points and algorithms to stock shelves and entice readers online. The Internet looks less like a home for free expression and more like an ocean of flashy marketing goop. Our rural areas are being fracked and monocropped into oblivion, our cities turned into playgrounds for the rich. But as we are truly everywhere, the struggle against the state, capital, and their minions will continue. Together we’ll keep pushing the boundaries, never set-tling for assimilation or complacency. Laursen’s essay tells more than the tale of a small, scrappy publishing house. It shows a sophisticated and growing movement doing battle with the dominant social and economic insti-tutions of our times. And for the next twenty-five years we hope to be there still, helping that movement tell its history and dream of freedom.

Captive GendersTrans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial ComplexExpanded Second EditionEdited by Eric A. Stanley and Nat Smith; Foreword by CeCe McDonald9781849352345 / 400 pp. / $20.00

Pathologized, terrorized, and confined, trans/gender non-conforming and queer folks have always struggled against the enormity of the prison industrial complex. In the first collection of its kind, Eric A. Stanley and Nat Smith bring together current and former prisoners, activists, and academics, offering new ways to under-stand how race, gender, ability, and sexuality are lived under the crushing weight of captivity. Captive Genders argues that trans/queer liberation and prison abolition must be grown together. A challenge for us all to join the struggle, this expanded second edition includes new essays by Chelsea Manning, Toshio Meronek, Janetta Louise Johnson, and Kalaniopua Young.

Taking SidesRevolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of LiberalismEdited by Cindy Milstein9781849352321 / 162 pp. / $12.00

The lines of oppression are already drawn. The only question is, which side are you on in the struggle against the violence of white supremacy and polic-ing? Taking Sides argues not for reform of structur-ally brutal institutions but rather for their abolition. Its thirteen essays are sharp interventions that take particular aim at the role of nonprofits, “ally” politics, and “peace police” in demobilizing rebellions against hierarchical power. The authors offer tools to hone strategies and tactics of resistance, and hold out the promise of robust, tangible solidarity across racial and other lines, because in the battle for systemic transformation, there are no outside agitators.

Our Enemies in BluePolice and Power in AmericaRevised and Updated Edition

Kristian Williams; Foreword by Andrea J. Ritchie

9781849352154 / 575 pp. / $22.00

In this extensively revised and updated edition of his seminal study of policing, Kristian Williams shows that police brutality isn’t an anomaly, but is built into the very meaning of law enforcement in the United States. From antebellum slave patrols to today’s paramilitary units, “peace keepers” have al-ways used force to shape behavior, repress dissent, and defend the powerful. Our Enemies in Blue is a well-researched page-turner that both makes histor-ical sense of this legalized social pathology and maps out possible alternatives.

Making Sense of AnarchismErrico Malatesta’s Experiments with

Revolution, 1889–1900Davide Turcato

9781849352314 / 280 pp. / $17.00

Davide Turcato makes the relevance of history dy-namically clear. Through a biographical account of Errico Malatesta’s revolutionary exploits over a de-cade, Making Sense of Anarchism is simultaneously a critique of how history is written and an outline of political tensions and debates that continue to this day. An antidote to studies that equate anarchism with disorder and irrationality.

“A meticulous and engrossing English-language bi-ography of Errico Malatesta and, at the same time, a thought-provoking reassessment of the nature of clas-sical anarchism (both as a movement and an ideolo-gy)...An ambitious re-examination of late-nineteenth century anarchism, with contemporary ramifications.” —Constance Bantman, University of Surrey

Living AnarchismJosé Peirats and the Spanish Anarcho-Syndicalist MovementChris Ealham9781849352383 / 270 pp. / $20.00 / december 2015

Living Anarchism is both a study of one man and a collective biography of the working class into which he was born. Peirats’s story illuminates the human foundations and development of Spanish anarchism, the ties of kinship, friendship, and community that cemented the largest antiauthoritarian movement in the world. A fascinating and grounded history of revolutionary transformation, personal and social.

“Chris Ealham’s biography of Peirats...epitomizes and crystallizes the figure of all those anonymous, self-educated, disciplined, and self-sacrificing an-archist workers of his time, who fought for a fairer world with uncompromising attitude and unflinch-ing determination till the bitter end.” —Agustín Guillamón, author of Ready for Revolution

We Do Not Fear Anarchy— We Invoke ItThe First International and the Origins of the Anarchist MovementRobert Graham9781849352116 / 319 pp. / $21.00

From 1864 to 1880, socialists, communists, trade unionists, and anarchists synthesized a growing body of anti-capitalist thought within the First International—a body devoted to uniting left-wing radical tendencies of the time. Often remembered for the historic fights between Marx and Bakunin, the debates during the International helped refine and focus anarchist ideas into a doctrine of international working class self-liberation. An unprecedented analysis of a misunderstood history.

“This book is a breath of fresh air in a stuffy room. At long last, anarchists enter the history of socialism by the main door!” —Davide Turcato, author of Making Sense of Anarchism

The Anarchist ExpropriatorsBuenaventura Durruti and Argentina’s

Working-Class Robin HoodsOsvaldo Bayer; Translated by Paul Sharkey

9781849352239 / 100 pp. / $12.00 / december 2015

In early twentieth-century Argentina, anarchist ex-propriators employed direct, violent means to fund the production of books, newspapers, and other forms of propaganda—as well as to support the families of comrades who had been imprisoned or deported. Osvaldo Bayer—author, journalist, and scriptwriter who was exiled from Argentina during the years of military dictatorship, when his books were banned and burned—tells a sympathetic and thrilling story of bank robberies, payroll heists, and other “crimes” committed in the name of justice. At the same time, he uncovers unexplored aspects of anarchist and Argentine history. This is its first En-glish translation.

Angels with Dirty FacesThree Stories of Crime, Prison, and Redemption

Walidah Imarisha9781849351744 / 240 pp. / $18.00 / february 2016

The three lives in this tale are united by the presence of actual harm—sometimes horrific violence. Imari-sha brings us behind prison walls to visit her adopted brother Kakamia and his fellow inmate Jimmy “Mac” McElroy of the brutal Irish gang the Westies. To-gether they explore the questions: People can do un-imaginable damage to one another—and then what? What do we as a society do? What might redemp-tion look like? Imarisha doesn’t flinch as she guides us through the difficulties and contradictions. The re-sult is a deeply personal analysis that connects emo-tionally with the lives of people caught up within, and often destroyed by, our criminal justice system.

Militant Anti-Fascism A Hundred Years of ResistanceM. Testa9781849352031 / 345 pp. / $18.95

Fascism is violence, and the fight against it must be aggres-sive and unrelenting. Using a mixture of orthodox history and eye-witness accounts, M. Testa makes the case for a res-olutely militant anti-fascism, taking us from proto-fascists in nineteenth-century Austria to modern-day street fights in Lon-don. Provocative, unapologetic, and based on extensive research.

Underground Passages Anarchist Resistance Culture, 1848–2011Jesse Cohn9781849352017 / 422 pp. / $22.95

Anarchists have always created “resistance cultures” to sus-tain their ideals amid everyday lives defined by capital and the state, cultures that prefigure a post-revolutionary world and allow an escape from domination even while enmeshed in it. Cohn’s detailed cultural criticism explores fiction, poetry, music, film, and more.

Octavia’s BroodScience Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movementsadrienne maree brown and Walidah Imarisha9781849352093 / 285 pp. / $18.00

Whenever we envision a just and equitable world, we are en-gaging in an exercise of speculative fiction. This anthology of sci-fi and visionary fiction is written by organizers, activists, and thinkers who struggle tirelessly to create another world. Beautiful, harrowing, and politically incisive tales for thinking and building radical futures now.

Dixie Be Damned300 Years of Insurrection in the American SouthNeal Shirley and Saralee Stafford9781849352079 / 290 pp. / $20.00

Seven insurrectionary episodes in Southern history are tied to-gether into a larger narrative about the long arc of revolt in the South. Countering images of the region as pacified and uni-versally conservative, this alternative history covers slave rebel-lions, stockade burnings, multiracial banditry, labor struggles, prison uprisings, urban riots, and more.

The Method of Freedom:An Errico Malatesta Reader

Edited by Davide Turcato9781849351447 / 550 pp. / $21.95

I Belong Only to MyselfThe Life and Writings of Leda Rafanelli

Andrea Pakieser9781849351959 / 175 pp. / $16.95

Andrea Pakieser couples the writings of Leda Rafanelli, one of the most prolific propagandists in early-twentieth-century Italy, with a historically rich biographical approach to tell the story of this iconoclastic anarchist, feminist novelist. Tales of Italian radicalism at the turn of the century, expats in Egypt, the onset of fascism, and more.

Educating for InsurgencyThe Roles of Young People in Schools of Poverty

Jay Gillen9781849351997 / 170 pp. / $15.95

Desegregation has failed. Schools have become plantations of social control for black and brown students. Radical teachers in American public schools must help young people fashion an insurgency. This book outlines what that means and how to do it, the tools and techniques needed to build social, cognitive, and political power.

Drug War CapitalismDawn Paley

9781849351935 / 275 pp. / $16.95

The Drug War has had no effect on the sale and use of drugs, but it has been wildly successful for international, especially US, business interests, cracking open new territories to privat-ization and foreign direct investment. Dawn Paley shows us the real purpose behind the rhetoric, and the state terror it excuses.
