The First London Anarchist Studies Network London Social - Be There or Be Somehere Else!
Tuesday 2nd March, 7pm - Freedom Bookshop, Whitechapel.
This is an opportunity for Anarchist students, researchers and Anarchist academics living, working or visiting in the capital to meet, talk and socialise. Freedom have even agreed to raise the ceiling to ensure all those pointy heads fit in the building!
Bring a bottle and get yourself down there.
Freedom is at Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street - nearest tube Aldgate East. For those arriving late, we will at some stage decamp to the nearby White Hart public house for further refreshments.

From the nineteenth century to today’s anticapitalist movements, it traces anarchism’s lineage and contemporary relevance. It outlines anarchism’s insights into questions of race, gender, class, and imperialism, significantly reframing the work of previous historians on the subject, and critiquing Marxist approaches to those same questions."

Focusing on anarchism’s global impact —- on five continents over 150 years —- this is the most complete and detailed scholarly book on the topic."
