	325 : Anti-Prison / Insurrection / Autonomy #2, $3 suggested donation The second issue of 325 (April 2005) contains information and perspectives on the fight-back against the state and its repressive projects - prisons, surveillance programs, "temporary stay center" concentration camps for immigrants, and other elements of social control. Most of the information presented in this journal comes from Europe, but 325 ought to be a valuable resource for those in struggle anywhere. The new issue continues the high standard of the debut issue, and is recommended.
	325 : Anti-Prison / Insurrection / Autonomy #1, $3 suggested donation "This zine is the collaboration of a range of people across Europe coming together in the hope of opposing the Bosses, and radically living our dreams of a better future, and not waiting for it, and never giving up." This is the first issue of this thick insurrectionary journal. The August 2004 issue contains plenty of information on struggles against prison, as well as on the technology of repression, autonomous social spaces and resistance to psychiatric control.
	Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed #59, $4.95 Anarchy #59 features part one of Jason McQuinn on "The Life and Times of Anarchy Magazine," Leona Benten on anarchafeminism, and an article addressing killer cops and responses to them in Portland, Oregon. As usual, this issue also includes thoughtful reviews, columns and letters.
	Communicating Vessels #16, $2 Communicating Vessels #16 features "The Perplexities of the Middle Eastern Conflict: A Musing on Historical Relativism and Universal History," a well-researched and thoughtful article that is also less airy than its subtitle suggests. This issue also includes an article-length review of Dancin' in the Streets: Anarchists, IWWs, Surrealists, Situationists and Provos in the 1960s, a couple of short stories, and a poem.
	The Oystercatcher #2, $2.50 The Oystercatcher is a radical ‘zine from Denman Island (B.C.) combining island life, anarchist history and a strong surrealist influence. Issue #2 (May 2005) includes an article by Franklin Rosemont on "Phillip Lamantia and the Surrealist Movement in the United States," a brief article on indigenous peoples and slanted colonialist accounts of history, a review of Only a Beginning: An Anarchist Anthology, and other lively bits 'n' pieces.

Heartcheck is professionally printed, with funds from its sales going to both prisoners. From the introduction: "With millions of people dying, the environment being poisoned and destroyed by consumerism, there really are only three kinds of people: the victims, the problem, and the solution. This zine is dedicated to the latter."

4/10/05: Many new titles...

	Landstreicher, Wolfi (trans.): Fire to the Powder Keg: War and Social Guerrilla Struggle in Iraq, $5 "Fire to the Powder Keg investigates the social nature of the guerrilla struggle against the forces of Western capital and against the tragic conditions imposed on the Iraqi population through years of bombings, embargoes and repression. Fire to the Powder Keg challenges its readers to demonstrate that they are not allies of their masters, but rather accomplices of their Iraqi brothers and sisters who have not been crushed by the indiscriminate, terroristic violence of the invasion and occupation of their home. Now more than ever, the dimensions of social revolution are global." 116 page softcover book.
	Fifth Estate #368-369 "Special 40th Anniversary Double Issue," $6 This double issue of Fifth Estate includes recollections from those involved with this long-running anti-authoritarian journal over the years, accompanied by some classic reprints from the magazine's livelier days.This is probably the strongest issue of Fifth Estate in a decade or so. Well worth checking out.
	Green Anarchy #19, $4 This editon of Green Anarchy is themed around "Indigenous Resistance to Civilization." As well as several articles of varying quality on this subject, the new issue includes articles about why language is evil, why momentum is better than movement, and why green anarchists shouldn't be friends with crypto-fascists. The usual direct action, reviews and letters sections round this issue off.
	Antimatter (Burt Greene): The Meaning of Tiananmen, $1.50 An anti-state, anti-capitalist perspective on the Beijing events of 1989. Also published in Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed issue #58.
	Bonanno, Alfredo M: The Anarchist Tension, $2 "Anarchism is not a concept that can be locked up in a word like a gravestone. It is not a political theory. It is a way of conceiving life, and life, young or old as we may be, old people or children, is not something definitive: it is a stake we must play day after day: When we wake up in the morning and put our feet on the ground we must have a good reason for getting up, if we don't it makes no difference whether we are anarchists or not. We might as well stay in bed and sleep."
	Bonanno, Alfredo M: Apart from the Obvious Exceptions, $2.50 "The appeal trial in Rome in which anarchists were accused of belonging to a clandestine armed organization has concluded with higher sentences than those meted out on the previous occasion. That was in the logic of things. [...] If on the one hand the fact that there was no sentence for 'armed organization' or 'terrorism' - to use the terms of the law - can be considered a defeat for the dogged zeal of prosecutor Marini, the above-mentioned personage has every reason to feel pleased concerning the diatribes that this trial has led to within the anarchist movement." - from the Introduction. This pamphlet includes the articles "Apart from the Obvious Exceptions" and "A Few Considerations by a Frequenter of the Courts," as well as an interview by Bonanno with Radio Onda Rossa. The three texts all concern disputes within the Italian anarchist milieu following a late-1990s round of trials.
	Perspectives: At Dusk: The Situationist Movement in Historical Perspective, $5 First published 1975 by the Berkeley radical group Perspectives, this was one of the first attempts at a full critique of Situationist theory. Interesting reading for all those concerned with the Situationist International and its legacy.

Aruri, Eli Aminov, As'ad Ghanem, Adam Sabra, Ghada Karmi and Israel Shamir. Ronit Lentin is guest editor.

Race Traitor #13-14, $12 Summer 2001, The Complete Contents of the Suppressed Surrealist Issue of Socialist Review. Guest edited by Ron Sakolsky, the writings in this double issue were originally scheduled for publication in a liberal socialist rag, who balked at its revolutionary and surrealist content.

3/15/05: Aufheben issue #13 now in stock
Aufheben is an autonomous communist journal from the UK. "Our influences included the Italian autonomia movement of 1969-77, the situationists, and others who took Marx's work as a basic starting point and used it to develop the communist project beyond the anti-proletarian dogmatisms of Leninism (in all its varieties) and to reflect the current state of the class struggle. We also recognized the moment of truth in versions of class struggle anarchism, the German and Italian lefts and other tendencies. In developing proletarian theory we needed to go beyond all these past movements at the same time as we developed them - just as they had done with previous revolutionary movements."

	Aufheben #13, $5 This issue of Aufheben features writing on "The Housing Question," and a lengthy review of Leopoldina Fortunati's The Arcane of Reproduction that poses broader questions about the Autonomist Marxist tradition. #13 also includes a reply from the French group Théorie Communiste to debates in previous issues. We also have a limited number of Aufheben issues #5 - #12. Write or email for more information.

Write or email for details. Two new pamphlets from Tarantula Publications:
	La Banquise: For a World Without Moral Order, $3 This pamphlet is a rewrite of a text first appearing in La Banquise #1 (1983). It is a controversial analysis of imposed morality from an anti-state communist viewpoint. The essay examines love, sacredness and crime in our society. Challenging taboos, it suggests ways in which these three categories would be superceeded within communism. No political correctness here. A reprint by Tarantula Publications.
	Various: The Prison Within The Prison, $4 The Spanish State’s prison system condemns political and rebellious prisoners to the FIES isolation units, brutal and dehumanising “prisons within the prisons” which have been the focus of widespread resistance, on both sides of the walls. In this booklet, some of the participants in this revolt against prisons and the state share their thoughts and experiences. A Tarantula Publications reprint from the Brighton ABC edition. A portion of sales go to support of anarchist prisoners.
