Ord Kan Krossa Betong, berättelsen om Pussy Riot Masha Gessen – BOK

Berättelsen om Pussy Riot

Journalisten Masha Gessen ger en unik inblick i fenomenet Pussy Riot, det feministiska punkkollektivet som fick en hel värld att vända sina blickar mot det ryska samhället och dess brist på demokratiska rättigheter. Den 21 februari 2012 äntrade fem unga kvinnor Kristus Frälsarens Katedral i Moskva iförda neonfärgade kläder, rånarluvor och framförde den nu historiska punkbönen till Jungfru Maria om att frälsa det ryska folket från Vladimir Putin. Den efterföljande rättgången bevakades intensivt av internationell press och fick stor spridning på nätet. Människor över hela världen, däribland celebriteter som Madonna och Paul McCartney, visade sitt stöd för Pussy Riot.

Det som hyllades var inte bara den modig politisk konfrontationen gruppen genomförde, utan aktionen sågs också som ett inspirerande konstfenomen som skapade ett nytt sätt att uttrycka protester på i ett samhälle där yttrandefriheten är hårt kringskuren. Journalisten Masha Gessen skildrar ingående hur Pussy Riot kom till och vilken inflytelse punkkollektivet har fått inte bara i Ryssland, utan i hela världen. Genom exklusiva intervjuer och samtal Pussy Riots medlemmar och deras familjer rekonstruerar hon medlemmarnas fascinerande och personliga resor som kom att leda fram till den sammanslutning av konstnärer som med en gemensam politisk vision och ett ursinnigt mod har satt sina spår i historieböckerna.

Anarchy: A Graphic Guide – Book

bsroot — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Originally published in 1987 by the now defunct Camdem Press, this undisputed classic of anarchist introductory texts returns in an updated version from Anne Bonny Books. Clifford Harper's artwork has been used and abused throughout the world by anarchist zinesters, poster designers, bookfair organisers and the like. His bold striking style lends a militant strength to the revolutionary subjects he depicts. Clifford published several books of his artwork through his own Agraphia Books. Most are still available from good radical outlets!

"It seems Clifford decided to redo this book in his new artwork style and not to reissue this version. I heard rumours that a couple of well known anarchist publishers were going to publish it but after many years waiting it seems he has the artistic equivalent of writers block! Judging from the sample work he has posted on his social media pages the new book will be very different to this one —more extensive in its scope and detail. I reckon this book is a classic as it is but I took the liberty of updating it slightly. It was one of the books I grew up with —as a fledgling anarchist!— alongside V for Vendetta, Malatesta, Kropotkin and Emma Goldman. I make no apology for pirating this book but I do want to thank Clifford Harper for the inspiration that his artwork has given me and everyone over the years and I wish him all the best with finishing his new book soon.'

The Punk Anarchisms of Class War & Crimethinc. – book

bsroot — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Many of the connections between punk and anarchism are well recognized (albeit with some important contentions). This recognition is usually focussed on how punk bands and scenes express anarchist political philosophies or anarchistic praxes, while much less attention is paid to expressions of ‘punk’ by anarchist activist groups. This pamphlet examines the distinct, yet overlapping, political approaches of Class War and CrimethInc. They are compared and contrasted, and in doing so, pervasive assumptions about the relationship between punk and anarchism are challenged, refuting the supposed dichotomy between ‘lifestylist’ anarchism and ‘workerist’ anarchism.
