Reader on Revolutionary Feminism
I work with a group that just put together a second edition of a reader on Revolutionary Feminism. It includes a century of debates between communist, anarchism and radical feminists, extending from 1890 to 1983. Groups in 21 cities and four countries did study groups on the Revolutionary Feminism reader in the fall and winter of 2015. This collection is beautifully laid out, easy to share, and includes a lot of great material on lost traditions of queer and women's liberation movements.
I work with a group that has put out a series of readers on political debates among revolutionaries, including one on European socialism, and a second on Black revolutionaries in the US. We just released a second edition of our third collection, on Revolutionary Feminism.
