great books on anarchism

[Red Emma]

just in case anyone's interested or had some good suggestions to add....

Living My Life Vol I-II by Emma Goldman

truly one of the best autobiographies i've ever read and why she became my heroine

God and the State by Mikhail Bakunin

The Dispossessed by Ursula K LeGuin

a great novel on its own and also the only fiction i'm aware of that details an anarchist society

for more or perhaps just to browse some anarchist literature, please visit the Anarchy Archives online.

thanks.

as far as anarchist fiction goes:
William Godwin-Caleb Williams:this isn't quite a piece of anarchist fiction, but it was written by a prominent 18th century anarchist.(and there aren't many of those) also...a bit of trivia- he was Mary Wollstonecraft's partner and Mary Shelley's father.

Graham Purchase- My Journey with Aristotle to the Anarchist Utopia...Straight up anarco-fiction...linda concentrates on a mix of green anarchism and Anarcho-syndicalism.

Are you familiar with Paul Avrich's histories of various anarchists-Anarchist Voices for example.

Our Enemy the State - Albery Jay Nock

The Ethics of Liberty - Murray Rothbard

Democracy: The God that Failed - Hans-Hermann Hoppe

People read and write books about anarchism? Who knew? Better question... why?

[lawdog]

Even better question: Why don't we hook up Red Emma and Yoshomon?

[Duemellon]

uh? Red Emma? U still around?

[lawdog]

He's our resident anarchist here on the woxy message boards.

Glad to see you still got it.
