7/4/17: The Unquiet Dead: Intro & Chapter 1

Thursday, June 22nd, 2017

The upcoming discussion taking place July 4 at Boxcar Books starting at 7PM will be the Introduction and Chapter 1 from The Unquiet Dead. It’s a study of fascism from an anarchist perspective, and specifically an analysis of fascist mythology with gender and race essentialisms as its core components.

You can pick up a free copy of the text at Boxcar Books for two weeks prior to its discussion. It’s a longer one, so you might want to pick up a copy sooner rather than later!

“’One may see that the history, which is now indivisible from oneself, has been full of errors and excesses, but this is not the same thing as seeing that, for millions of people, this history—oneself—has been nothing but an intolerable yoke, a stinking prison, a shrieking grave. It is not so easy to see that, for millions of people, life itself depends on the speediest possible demolition of this history, even if this means the leveling, or the destruction of its heirs.’
—James Baldwin”

“Alienation is as old as civilization itself since the dawn of civilization corresponds with the origin of institutionalized power structures. But resistance to alienation is just as old.”
