A Bibliographical Guide to Anarchism in English

A Bibliographical Guide to Anarchism in English

(November, 2000)

James Herod

Anarchism did not emerge as a distinct, full-bodied movement until the nineteenth century. For most purposes, for example in a history of anarchism, it is perhaps best to keep to this distinct body of work. For the purposes of this bibliography however, given the extraordinary nature of our times, in which we have an opportunity to renew anarchism as a movement, and redefine radical politics in general, it is more useful I believe to broaden the term, to use it as an umbrella concept so to speak, and thus include precursors of anarchist thought as well as parallel or related political tendencies. Therefore I use this broadened definition of anarchism and include within it anti-authoritarianism and anti-statism in general, the literature on workers control or workers self-management, surrealism, parts of French utopian socialism, some of Marx and parts of marxism (especially hegelian marxism, western marxism, and autonomous marxism), council communism, the libertarian wings of socialism and communism, much of the cooperative movement, communes, much of critical theory (the Frankfurt School), anarcho-syndicalism (of course), situationism, much of American so-called anti-federalism, radical democratic theory, radical epistemology, anarcho-feminism, radicals of the English revolution, radical theorists of the peasant revolutions, Christian communism of the Middle Ages, and so forth. Excluded of course are Leninism and Social Democracy and all authoritarian, statist, elitist, mystical versions of the struggle for freedom.

First Must-Reads

1. Ward, Colin, Anarchy in Action. Freedom Press, 1973, 2nd edition 1982, 152 pages. I believe this is the best single book to read on anarchism, if you can only read one. Ward brings anarchism down to concrete reality in terms of welfare, schooling, housing, work and play, social organization, crime and deviance, and so forth.

2. Landauer, Gustav, For Socialism (1911). Telos Press, 1978, 150 pages. "Continuing the thoughts he first advanced in his Skepsis und Mystik and Die Revolution, he effectively criticizes the central social forces of modern European society -- the Second International, advanced capitalism, modern science, the Social-Democratic Party, orthodox Marxism, and the economistic vision of state socialism -- while, at the same time, outlining an emancipatory, stateless, political order grounded in the traditions of organic community." (From the introduction to the Telos edition.)

3. Debord, Guy, Society of the Spectacle (1967). Black & Red, Detroit, 1970, 1977. A founding text of the French Situationist International.

4. Pannekoek, Anton, Lenin as Philosopher: A Critical Examination of the Philosophical Basis of Leninism (1938). Republished by Merlin Press in 1975 from the 1st English edition of 1948.

Pannekoek was a Dutch left communist, or council communist, from the anarcho-syndicalist tradition. This is a thorough refutation of Leninism from an anarchist perspective.

5. Gorter, Herman, Open Letter to Comrade Lenin: A Reply to ‘Left-Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder’ (by Lenin) (1920). Republished finally by Wildcat in September 1989. A Dutch comrade of Anton Pannekoek, Gorter immediately wrote this reply to Lenin’s attack. It stands as one of the first and most vigorous rejections of Bolshevism by Europe’s anarchists.

6. Malatesta, Errico, Anarchy. Many editions, e.g., Freedom Press, 40 pages.

7. Bakunin, Michael, Marxism, Freedom and the State. Freedom Press, 1950, 63 pages. A short
compilation of key passages from Bakunin (by K.J. Kenafick), which serves as a brief introduction to his thought.

8. Kropotkin, Peter, Anarchism and Anarchist Communism. Freedom Press, 64 pages. Two short introductions to anarchism, including Kropotkin’s famous article for the 1910 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica.

9. Berkman, Alexander, What Is Communist Anarchism? (1929). Parts Two and Three of this book (14 chapters) were reprinted in 1942 by Freedom Press as The ABC of Anarchism, 99 pages. Part One (18 chapters) was reprinted by Phoenix Press in 1989, as What is Communist Anarchism?, 117 pages.

10. Rosemont, Franklin, ed., Arsenal: Surrealist Subversion. Surrealism in the service of Revolution, Poetry, the Marvelous, Dream, Revolt, Freedom, Desire, Wilderness, & Love. Black Swan Press (#1, 1970, 80 pages; #2, 1973, 64 pages; #3, 1976, 120 pages; #4, 1989, 224 pages). "The most brilliant invective in American literature. Angry. Uncompromising. Provocative. Mindblowing perspectives on just about everything. Total revolt. A must read for anyone who seriously hates capitalism." (from What’s Left in Boston, June, 1989).

11. Roediger, Dave, and Franklin Rosemont, eds., Haymarket Scrapbook. Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company, 1986, 255 pages.

12. Pateman, Carole, The Problem of Political Obligation: A Critique of Liberal Theory. California U.P., 1979, 222 pages. The best discussion so far of the principle of "self-assumed political obligation", and of political authority in general. Together with her first book, Participation and Democratic Theory (1970) and her third book, The Sexual Contract (1988), this body of work represents the most brilliant and devastating critique of liberal democratic theory so far, and a defense of direct democracy and hence of anarchism.

13. De Cleyre, Voltairine, The First Mayday: the Haymarket Speeches 1895-1910. With an introduction, notes and bibliography by Paul Avrich. Cienfuegos Press, Libertarian Book Club, and Soil of Liberty, 1980, 53 pages. Passionate, powerful oratory by one of America’s greatest anarchists.

14. Castoriadis, Cornelius, Philosophy, Politics, Autonomy: Essays in Political Philosophy. Oxford UP, 1991, 304 pages. Castoriadis’ most accessible essays since his writings for Socialism or Babarism in the fifties. One of the strongest recent philosophical defenses of direct democracy, with a theory of knowledge to match it.

15. p.m., bolo’bolo. Semiotext(e), 1985, 198 pages. A very creative and provocative attempt to envision an anarchist society, complete with a new vocabulary to describe it.

16. Shanin, Teodor, ed., Late Marx and the Russian Road: Marx and ‘The Peripheries of Capitalism’. Monthly Review, 1983, 286 pages. This highly stimulating book should dispel forever the belief among some anarchists that the work of Marx is not relevant to the struggle for liberation, freedom, and anarchy.

17. Korsch, Karl, Marxism and Philosophy (1923, 1930). New Left Books, 1970, 159 pages.

A brilliant philosophical rejection of both Leninism and Social Democracy by a left German communist, council communist, and anarcho-syndicalist. Korsch helped bring Hegel back into Marxism in the twenties, and helped lay the foundation for a third road, an anti-statist road, that is, the anarchist road, to communism.

18. Macdonald, Dwight, The Root is Man (1946). Originally published in Politics, MacDonald’s very innovative and iconoclastic journal of the 1940s. Republished by Autonomedia in 1995. It is Macdonald’s break with totalitarian marxism, written in the 1940s in New York, coming out of "a larger anti-totalitarian anarchist, pacifist and independent Marxist milieu". A very stimulating book.
