This is an exciting time to be in the Bay Area. The Occupation of Oakland (or as we prefer the Oakland Commune) has been amazing. It has made cynical people smile and even jaded people feel like there is something positive about what is happening in downtown Oakland. This is what is possible when anarchists take an engaged role in a public project and even if it were to be over tomorrow the experiment in Oakland has been fruitful.
Long live the Oakland Commune!!!

New Things
We are currently tilling the soil to have an incredibly productive 2012 we will have a major announcement in the next month or two. This means that we only have a few new things to announce but they are good ones.
Tiqqun #1 – This is an absolutely faithful reproduction of the French journal Tiqqun but in English. This includes such obsessions as replacing French graffiti with English equivalents, replacing cultural artifacts with similar ones that make sense in North America. This is a labor of love & sweat and is a huge journal filled with content you have mostly experienced up till now in bite sized morsels because reading on the screen and reading something in your hands are two different things entirely.

Desert – This is a new (dark) Green Anarchist publication from the UK. It asks the question “what does it mean to be an anarchist, or an environmentalist, when the goal is no longer working toward a global revolution and social/ecological sustainability?” This is a serious publication that challenges the reader to imagine life and activity without hope. I love this shit!

bolo’bolo – Ardent and Autonomedia have teamed up to bring the most important anarchist utopia (that is neither anarchist or utopian) back into print. If this doesn’t live on your bookshelf then it is arguable that anything lives there at all!

Sovereign Self – A brand new paper from the PNW that is beautifully self-printed and the first publication from Highwayman Press. It is inspired by Egoist and individualist thinking. This issue is FREE with postage.

ADCS: 1.2011 – Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies considers the anarchist milieu in the ten years since the attacks of September 11th, 2001 (hereafter “9/11″). A host of obvious questions accompany an attempt to encapsulate an event such as 9/11 and the ten years that followed, foremost among them: Why situate 9/11 as a date of exceptional importance? Does a reflection of this kind merely contribute to, for example, neoconservative attempts to enshrine 9/11 as a propagandistic tool? Memorialization often carries reactionary politics, whether intentional or not.

New Site
One of the grueling tasks we have accomplished is a brand new website. This means that the old “rounded corners” site is gone and a new site that focuses on SEARCH and simplicity now lives in its place. We expect there to be frequent changes to the site now that it is so much more usable but if you run into problems please drop us a line.
New features include:
- Gift Certificates: They may be corney but they are a great way to get the actual things you want from family members for the Xmas (and shit).
- Wholesale accounts: If you are part of an infoshop that would like some variety in what you carry or an independent bookshop that is ready to challenge your audience… drop us a line. We have rates for you!
