IAS UpdateWelcome to the autumn 2002 Institute forAnarchist Studies newsletter "Perspectiveson Anarchist Theory". This year marks theIAS' 6th year in existence and we remainas active as ever in our support foranarchist scholarship and our efforts tobuild a community of people interestedin this work. Indeed, the last six yearshave been very busy for us. Over thisperiod the IAS has awarded 32 grants toindividuals throughout the world (acomplete list of grants awarded isincluded in this newsletter).

This July the Institute for AnarchistStudies (IAS) Board awarded grants totwo exciting writers: LA Kauffman andRaymor Ryan. Speaking in voices verydifferent from one another, theseindividuals, who are writers as well asactivists, are involved in numerouspro jec ts and ant i -author i tar ianmovements. Both writers are competent,creative, and committed to radical socialtransformation. We congratulate them ontheir awards and are very pleased to begiven the opportunity to support theirwork.

We also added a new board member tothe IAS in July: Darini Nicholas. Dariniis an educator, feininist, and activist whoresides in central Vermont She was bomand spent the first half of her life in SriLanka. Today she teaches at NorwichUniversity, the Institute for SocialEcology, and Johnson State College inVermont. Her focus of interest and workhas been with social problems, race andethnicity, the global economy, and thesocial ecology of globalization. She hasresearched the impacts of neoliberalpolicy on the livesof indigenous and rural communities inthe South. Darini is currently an activeboard member with the VermontWorkers' Center and Volunteers withtheir Workers' Right Hotline. Herbackground, learning, and experiences,will enable us to bring a broader , moreinternational perspective to our workand we welcome her to the board.

The 2002 fundraising campaign is wellunderway. At the present time we arestill attempting to meet the fundraisinggoal of $14,000. Your 2002 donations to

the IAS will provide us the ability tocontinue awarding $8,000 in grants andpublishing Perspectives, our biannualn e w s l e t t e r , w h i c h i n c l u d e sorganizational updates, contemporarynews and analysis. We will also maintainour web site which has received over30,000 "hits" thus far. This resourceoffers information in nine differentlanguages (including the recent additionof Finnish in July) and enhances ourability for community building. Thesegoals shall be achieved despite the factthat we have been able to reduce ouradministrative expenses by about 30%.We thank everyone that has donatedthus far to this years' funraisingcampaign.

Please consider supporting our effortsand become a contributor to the IAS.Being the only institution that financiallysupports anarchist writers, yourcontribution will help us continue thiswork. The IAS had developed a trackrecord of significant contributions in itssix years of operation. Our short andlong term goals will build upon ourachievements and with careful planning,hard work, and generous support of oura l l ies , we wi l l succeed in thedevelopment and creation of our ownunique spaces of scholarship.

Grant Updates

Lorenzo Komboa Ervin has completed his rewrite of Anarchism and the Black Revolution: Outlaw Essays on Race, Class and Struggle. This 270page document completes the 3rd edition of thework which has had an impact within the contemporary anarchist movement. The project greatly expands the depth and scope of earlier editions (whichwas only one-quarter in size of the current edition)and includes a number of articles and essays writtenbetween 1994 to the present. His five sections include 1) Anarchism defined; 2) Capitalism and Racism: An analysis of White supremacy; 3) Anarchism and the Black Revolution; 4) Pan-Africanismor Inter-communialism?; and 5) Contradictions ofRace and Class. At this time, several radical leftand Anarchist publishing houses in the USA haveexpressed interest in its publication. Lorenzo wasawarded $2000 in February, 2002.

Joseph Lowndes has finished the essay"Unstable Antistatism: The Left, The Right, and theOutlaw Josey Wales". Originally entitled"Anarchism and the Rise of Rightwing Anti-statism", his essay examines the diverse origins ofmodern conservative antistatism in the U.S. throughan analysis of the 1976 film The Outlaw JoseyWales, and the book on which it was based. Theconsolidation of a conservative politics in the 1970swas achieve in part by the right's appropriation ofNew Left antistatism via older forms of racial discourse. This emphasis on New Left influence helpsexplain the rise of the New Right in a way that ismissed in conventional accounts, while demonstrating more generally that political discourse is alwayscontingent and unstable, and open to unintendedconsequences. The article will appear in the upcoming International Journal of Politics, Culture andSociety. Joe Lowndes was awarded $1000 in June,1998.

Sean Gauthier has completed his Many Manifestations: Blueprints for a Bricoleur's War Machine.Sections of his book, largely seen as a"poststructuralist anarchist response to Hardt andNegri's Empire", will be presented at a number of

upcoming conferences: the annual Binghamtonconference and also a conference on Rhizomes atYork University in Canada. Both presentations willeventually be available on-line. Further, Sean iscurrently sending the manuscript to publishers forreview. He was awarded $1000 in February, 2002.

Bill Weinberg reports that his research is goingwell for his book, Pachamama Betrayed: Ecological Crime and Indigenous Resistance to the AndeanDrug Wars. He his currently focusing on the oil development schemes which lie behind the Andeanmilitarizaiton, and Washington's recasting of theconflict as part of the global war on terrorism since9-11. Much has been compiled into an articleprinted in the most recent edition of Cornell University's Native Americas Quarterly, and is on-lineat http^/ww3report.com/amazonia.htmI . Further,he has also been engaged with public speaking onthe issue, including a presentation at the AnarchistForum in New York and the recent Renewing theAnarchist Tradition conference in Plainfield, Vermont. Verso has agreed to publish the book uponcompletion. Bill was awarded $1000 in July, 2001.

Ali Sailer continues to work toward the completion of her book Voicing Exclusions): A CriticalExamination of Current Discourses on the "Anti-Corporate Globalizaiton" Movement.

Adding critiques by cultural theorists such asSpivak, Trinh Minh-ha and Himani Bnnerji havebeen included to help foster more meaningful solutions to these issues. Ali projects that her projectwill be completed by December, 2002. She wasawarded $ 1000 in February, 2002.

PERSPECTIVES ON ANARCHIST THEORYP c g e 4

What's happening: books & Events by Chuck Morse J

The War on the War on TerrorAnarchists must develop a sharp analysis of the new chapter in political affairs that opened on September 11th. We need todo so in order to both fight and defend themselves against Bush's "War on Terror." Numerous new publications should behelpful. Three stalwarts of the U.S. Left have recently published analyses. In The Terrorism Trap: September 11 andBeyond, Michael Parenti analyzes the deeper causes and meaning of September 11th. He dissects the religious, political,and economic forces behind the attacks and advances answers to questions such as: Why did the attacks happen? Who is tobe blamed? Who is taking advantage of the crisis? Who is hurt by all the ensuing events? He relates contemporary religiousterrorism to a longstanding religious tradition of violence as well as the US-led globalization process that has impoverishedand angered much of the world (City Lights Books, 2002, 80 pages). In a similar vein, Noam Chomsky's 9-11 examinesthe root causes of the September 11th catastrophe, the historical precedents for it, and the possible outcomes as the USresponds with its "new war on terrorism" (Seven Stories Press, 2001, 96 pages). In Terrorism and War (Seven StoriesPress, 2002, 144 pages) Howard Zinn shows that while truth is indeed the first casualty of war, there are other casualtiesas well, including civil liberties on the home front and human rights abroad. He explores the history of U.S. militarism andthe long tradition of Americans' resistance to it, from Eugene Debs during World War I to the opponents of militaryintervention in Afghanistan today.International ContradictionsAn international perspective can be found in The Clash of Barbarisms: September 11 and the Making of the New WorldDisorder by Gilbert Achcar (Monthly Review Press, November 2002, 128 pages). Achcar traces the rise of militant andanti-Western Islamic fundamentalism to its roots in U.S. policies aimed at control of the Middle East's oil reserves,especially those in Saudi Arabia. He examines the political premises of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda and shows how theseled to the massive miscalculation of the September 11th attacks, with results both politically counterproductive and morallyreprehensible. Achar argues that the major result of this miscalculation has been the completion of a shift to a world orderin which the US unilaterally asserts its power and pursuit of its interests without regard for law or rights. A similar theme ispursued in The New Crusade: America's War on Terrorism by Rahul Mahajan (Monthly Review Press, 2002,160 pages)Mahajan challenges the myths that have arisen around the "War on Terrorism" and the ways they are used to benefit asmall elite. He demonstrates how accepted accounts of the causes of the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan, theconduct of the war, and its consequences have been systematically distorted. He shows how global power is beingredefined in the process and explores the new directions the war is likely to take. Stephen Zunes's Tinderbox: U.S.Foreign Policy and the Roots of Terrorism (Common Courage Press, November 2002, 272 pages) argues that the US isplaying a neo-colonial role in the Middle East, whether by assuring access to cheap oil or by backing up the Israeli refusalto provide Palestinians with the right to self-determination, thus generating the very terrorism it claims to be fighting.The Liberal-Left PositionTwo anthologies provide valuable image of the left-liberal opposition to the war. September 11 and the U.S. War: Beyondthe Curtain of Smoke, edited by Roger Burbach and Ben Clarke (City Lights Books, 2002,176 pages) contains essays byactivists, journalists, historians, and political theorists outlining the U.S. policies that contributed to the tragedy ofSeptember 11th, the consequences of the new war, and suggestions for alternatives, such as grass-roots organizing linked tothe anti-globalization movement and the strengthening of institutions like the International Criminal Court and the UnitedNations. The editors hope to provide readers with the intellectual basis for resistance to the policies and practices nowundertaken in the name of the "War on Terrorism." Beyond September 11: An Anthology of Dissent, edited by PhilScraton, assess the validity, lawfulness, and political consequences of the Bush/Blair agenda (Pluto Press, 2002, 272pages). Examining the context and rhetoric of U.S. vengeanceennobled by the symbolic title 'Enduring Freedom-contributors challenge political and popular definitions, constructions, pathologization, and reporting of terrorism. Inquestioning the representation of the war as 'just', the anthology focuses on civilian deaths in Afghanistan, evidence of US/allied atrocities, violations of prisoners* rights and the U.S. determination to escalate military offensives, regardless ofglobal destabilization. It contains contributions from Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, among many others.

The Belly of the BeastThere are valuable new publications that challenge the domestic face of Bush's "War on Terror," particularly the massiveviolation of civil liberties. In Silencing Political Dissent: How Post-September 11 Anti-Terrorism Measures Threaten OurCivil Liberties, constitutional expert Nancy Chang examines how the Bush administration's fight against terrorism isresulting in a frightening erosion of First Amendment rights and increase of executive power (Seven Stories Press, 2002,168 pages). Beginning with a historical review of political repression and intolerance of dissent in America, from theSedition Act of 1798, through the Smith Act of the 1940s and the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II, tothe FBI's infamous COINTELPRO program of the 1960s, Chang recalls how during times of crisis and war, the U.S.government has unjustly detained individuals, invaded personal privacy, and hampered the free speech of Americans.David Cole and James Dempsey's Terrorism and the Constitution: Sacrificing Civil Liberties in the Name of NationalSecurity critiques of the U.S. government's response to threatsreal and perceivedfrom communists in the 1950s, toCentral American activists in the 1980s, Palestinians in the 1990s, and now Islamic terrorists in the twenty-first century.The authors argue that the U.S. government's anti-terrorism efforts sacrifice civil liberties without protecting nationalsecurity (The New Press, September 2002,240 pages).The Past

A successful anarchist anti-war movement will need to be steeped in the lessons of the past. A historical perspective on theLeft's confrontation with war can be found in Paul Miller's From Revolutionaries to Citizens: Antimilitarism in France,1870-1914 (Duke University Press, 296 pages, 2001). This book is the first comprehensive account of the most importantantiwar campaign prior to World War I: the antimilitarism of the French Left. Covering the views and actions of socialists,trade unionists, and anarchists from the time of France's defeat by Prussia in 1870 to the outbreak of hostilitieswith Germany in 1914, Miller tackles a fundamental question of prewar historiography: how was it possible that the mostantimilitarist culture and society in Europe came to accept and even support war in 1914? He argues that the Left'sseemingly sudden transformation "from revolutionaries to citizens" was less a failure of resolve than a confession ofcommonality with the broader ideals oAnother WorldWill the anti-globalization movement retain its momentum in an environment of war and terror? Several new books hopeto help this happen. Anti-Capitalism: A Field Guide to the Global Justice Movement (edited Emma Bircham, JohnCharlton, and Andrew Hsiao) is a pocket-sized handbook, directed toward activists and the uninitiated, providing anoverview of the issues, actors, and events in the global justice movement, from Seattle to Genoa to New York. It covers thefull range of controversies animating protests across the world, including trade, environmental destruction, pharmaceuticalpatents, genetically modified food, war, and immigration controls, and explains why these movements have sprung up inopposition to corporate globalization. It is organized as a field guide to widely-debated topics, regions of the world, andmajor players, and features a short encyclopedia of activist organizations, multinational agencies, and corporations. It alsoincludes contributions from many well known chroniclers and analysts of the new movements (The New Press, November2002,416 pages). Sureyyya Evren and Rahmi G. Ogdul, two comrades from Istanbul, have just released Another WorldIs Possible, a Turkish-language anthology that provides a broad survey of the anti-globalization movement, with a specialemphasis on anarchism (Studyo Imge Publishing House, 2002, 365 pages). Also worth checking out is David McNally'sAnother World Is Possible: Globalization and Anti-Capitalism (Winnipeg: Arbeiter Ring Press, 2002).The TraditionThe contemporary anarchist movement needs to confront the failures and virtues of the classical anarchist tradition, but todo so we must grasp this tradition in its fullness. Fortunately we can now draw upon a greater wealth of resources than everbefore. For example, the Kate Sharpley Library has provided a missing link between Godwin's Enquiry into PoliticalJustice and Proudhon's What is Property? with the publication of The World's First Anarchist Manifesto, which waswritten in 1850 (Kate Sharply Library, 2002,35 pages).BakuninSecondary sources on anarchist thinkers often skim over the deeper theoretical foundations of their ideas, althoughhopefully Paul McLaughlin's Mikhail Bakunin: The Philosophical Basis of His Theory of Anarchy will provide acorrective (Algora Publishing, 2002,248 pages). In the first English-language philosophical study of Bakunin, McLaughlinoffers an interpretation of Bakunin's philosophy and, in part, a defense of it against Marxist and liberal scholarship to date.

P a g e 6 , _What's Happening (continued)EmmaEmma Goldman's legacy will soon be displayed on stage and screen Emma Goldman, a play by Howard Zinn,dramatizes Goldman's life story (South End Press, September 2002, 112 pages). Pacific Street Films's Joel Sucher andSteven Fischler have announced the beginning of production on a feature length documentary, The Suitcase: The Legacyof Emma Goldman and the Spanish Revolution. The film will examine the life and legacy of this extraordinary Anarchisticon and highlight her involvement in the libertarian social revolution of 1936-1939. Their press release explains that theirwork was motivated, in part, by recent Emma Goldman documentaries that have offered "a confused portrait of Emma, orare inclined towards divorcing her from her anarchist principles." Sucher and Fischler also produced Free Voice of Labor:The Jewish Anarchists (1980) and Anarchism in American (1981).Sacco and VanzettiThe execution of Sacco and Vanzetti remains an unforgettable injustice, even seventy-five years later. Extensivebackground on the case is available in Richard Newby's Kill Now, Talk Forever: Debating Sacco and Vanzetti (1st BooksLibrary, 2002, 662 pages). This handbook reprints all critical testimony from the trial as well as major items from the 75-year debate on the case.Homage to Albalate de CincaThe literature on anarchist contributions to the Spanish Revolution continues to grow. A new pamphlet from the KateSharpley Library, Looking Back after Twenty Years of Jail by Miguel Garcia, discusses Garcia's participation in therevolution, his years of imprisonment, and his involvement in the anti-Franco resistance (Kate Sharpley Library, 2002, 14pages). Spanish readers should check out Pasado Compartido: Memorias de anarcosindicalistas de Albalate de Cinca(1928-1938) by Hanneke Willemse (trans.: Shared Past: Anarcho-Syndicalist Memories from Albalate de Cinca (1928-1938)). This book tells the story of the pre-revolutionary, revolutionary, and post-revolutionary anarchist experience inAlbalate de Cinca, Aragon, Spain (Prensas Universitarias de Zaragoza, 2002,450 pages)America LatinaThe historical horizon of Latin American anarchism is finally opening up. Chile's Ediciones Espiritu Libertario has justreleased a double book that is among one of the few comprehensive treatments of Latin American anarchism. It containsCronica Anarquista de la Subversion Olvidada by Oscar Ortiz, (trans. Anarchist Chronicle of the forgotten Subversion)and Luis Vitale's Contribucion a una Historia del Anarquismo en America Latina (trans. Contribution to a History of theAnarchism in Latin America) (2002, 195 pages). The major work of the father of Peruvian anarchism will finally beavailable in English: Manuel Gonzalez Prada's Paginas Libres is forthcoming as Free Pages and Hard Times: AnarchistMusings (Oxford University Press, September 2002, 320 pages). A major incident in the history of Mexico anarchism hasbeen extensively documented for the first time in English: Andrew Grant Wood's Revolution in the Street: Women,Workers and Urban Protest in Veracruz, 1870-1927 (Scholarly Resources, 2001, 288 pages) tells the story of the 1922anarchist-led rent strikes that exploded in the Mexican port of Veracruz. French readers will want to check out IsabelleFelici's La Cecilia: Histoire d'une communaute anarchiste (Atelier de Creation Libertaire, 2001, 121 pages), whichchronicles the history of the 19th century anarchist commune in Brazil.Love and RageThe Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation (1989-1998) was the most serious organizational expression ofanarchism in North America in decades, and its accomplishments and failures are rich in lessons. It will be possible toexplore some of these lessons in the soon to be released anthology, A New World in Our Hearts: 8 Years of Writings fromthe Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation, edited by Roy San Filippo (AK Press, February 2003,112 pages).This collection will contain articles from the paper, the internal "Discussion Bulletin," and a short history of theorganization.SupportComrades from Venezuela's El Centro de Estudios Sociales Libertarios are asking for financial contributions fromsupporters around the world to help them open the very first anarchist library in their country. They presently have 1000books and 2,500 publications, which can be made immediately available to the public, although they must raise $7000 tosecure a space and other requisites of the library to do so. Please make checks payable to Luis Silva and send them to:apartado postal 49.110, Bello Monte, Caracas Venezuela or write for more information.

6 Years and Thirty two Projects fromSix Different Countries

Poge7

Six years ago, the IAS was created bycommitted activists who believed inthe necessity of supporting their comrades in the face of incredible resistance to radical change. The resistance part hasn't changed and that'swhy we're still here. What haschanged is that the IAS has now supported thirty two projects by authorsfrom six different countries, projectsthat might have been put on the backburner due to financial difficulties.We've funded contemporary research,Spanish language pieces, historicalstudies, and even a play.

It's been a great six years and we'relooking forward to many more! Mostimportandy, because of our generoussupporters, many more years of IASfunded projects is a reality. And, the

IAS needs your continued supportto achieve this. We must raise514,000 by January 2003 to continueawarding grants to radical writersand publishing Perspectives.

Your contribution will help the IASmeet its 2002 fundraising goal andthus make the following contributions to the development of anti-authoritarian social criticism:

The IAS will award $8000 ingrants to writers struggling withsome of the most pressing questions in radical social theory today. IAS grants help radical authors take time off work, hirechildcare, purchase research materials, pay for travel expensesand other things necessary to

produce serious, thoughtfulworks of social criticism.

The IAS will publish Perspectiveson Anarchist Theory, our biannualnewsletter. Perspectives is a uniquesource of interviews, publishingnews, and commentary pertaining to anarchism. It helps keeppeople informed about anarchistscholarship and encourages dialogue among those interested inthis work.

Since January, 1997, the IAS has awarded 32 grants. Below is a complete List of grants awarded between January, 1997 and spring, 2002.

S2000 to Lorenzo Komboa Erwinfor a re-write of Anarchism and theBlack Revolution. The book, firstpublished in 1989 as a pamphlet,has had a significant impact withinthe anarchist movement. The workargues that a "class and economicanalysis for the reconstruction ofsociety is not possible if racism as asocial impediment is not fullyconsidered, and the concerns fpeople of color are not included in asocial revolutionary agenda".Beyond his important writtencontributions, Lorenzo has also beenactive in prison rights work, theBlack Autonomy/ "people of color"tendency within contemporaryanarchism, anti-racism movements,and other social change projects.

SI 000 to AH Sauer for her book-length piece entitled: VoicingExc lus ion (s ) : A Cr i t i ca lExamination of Current Discourseso n t h e " A n t i - C o r p o r a t eGlobalization" Movement. In whatpromises to by a fascinating study,Ali will investigate how socialmovements in general, and the"anti-globalizaiton movement" inparticular, reproduce certainstructures of domination by the veryway such movements definethemselves - - by a discourse ofinclusivity. Her project, which willconsist of interviews and research,will attempt to understand thelimitations of such discourses, andalso suggest ways in which theymay be redefined to become morerelevant and powerful. One of themany contributions that will emergefrom this work will be, as Ali putsit, to "encourage a radicalredefinition of anti-globalizationactivism that recognizes, in a non-colonial manner, the range of peopleengaged in this work".$1000 to Sean Gauthier for hisunique book Many Manifestations:Blueprints for a Bricoleur's WarMachine. As opposed to mostcontemporary scholars, Seanquestions whether the process anddevelopment of globalization

inherent in late capitalism isunavoidable (as it is often assumed).Informed by such thinkers asFoucault and Deleuze, Sean willcritique globalization and thearguments which maintain it, and inturn, draw out effective strategiesfor resistance. In many ways, hisproject may be viewed as a "post-structuralist anarchist response toHardt and Negri's Empire".$2000 to Carlos Fernandez and JenaCephas for their two part projectAnarchists of Color (recentlyrenamed The Quilombo Project).This project will explore theexperience and theories of people ofcolor within anarchism. The firstpart of the project, in the form ofinterviews and reports, will describethe actual presence of people ofcolor in contemporary USanarchism. The second part, a 15 -20 page overview of the theoriesused by anarchists of color incomparison with anarchist canons,will seek to revaluate anarchisttheory in the light of thecomparison. For up to dateinformation on the project, there is awebsite for the project, at http://www.quilomboproject.org. CarlosFernandez is pursuing anundergraduate degree in FilmStudies while his activist workranges from protests of the GulfWar to current prison reform workand his work has been published inArsenal Magazine and OnwardMagazine. Jena Cepha is currentlystudying architecture as anundergraduate with a focus ongentrification and affordablehousing and she has been engagedin grassroots activism for over tenyears, including the Youth Power!Anti-racist conference in Detroit,1996.

$1000 to Ronald Campbell for hisproject The Anarchist Within:Anarchist Prisoners Building aMovement. This project willexamine contributions made byimprisoned anarchists to theanarchist community and will coverthe various organizations andprojects founded by these prisoners,

as well as their reception by fellowprisoners, prison administrators, and theanarchist community.

$1500 to Jessica Lawless for herarticle and documentary, "RacializingAnarchism Then and Now." This piecefocuses on the re-emergence ofanarchism in the broader public spheresince the protest in Seattle andsubsequent international anti-globalization protests. Addressing bothanarchist and non-anarchist identifiedaudiences, this study will countermainstream mediated portrayals of theanarchist protestors as ahistorical,violent, young, white males who areincapable of offering a viable critiqueof society. In particular, it will arguethat the mainstream media has agitatedpublic anxieties toward young peoplewho identify as anarchists by relyingon racialized and racist constructionsof "blackness" and urban uprising,taking the focus off the issues beingraised and putting it instead on issuesof law and order. Jessica, currently agraduate student at ClaremontGraduate Univeristy, has been activein many areas, including women's selfdefense, social work, and as anorganizer of various anarchistcollectives in Seattle.

$1000 to Kevin Doyle for OrangeFire, a three act theater play about thelife, beliefs and struggles of Irishactivist Captain Jack White (1879-1946), who strongly identified as ananarchist. White's life and anarchistbeliefs have all but been obliterateddue to the destruction of his memoirsand papers by his family (White camefrom a privileged Protestant familyloyal to the British monarchy) and thefact that, as a revolutionary, he hasbeen "written out" of the historybooks. In order to provide a frameworkwith which activists can challengesectarian divisions in Ireland, this playaims to situate White within Irishrevolutionary history as well asanarchism and draws on thedestruction of White's papers as ametaphor for the repressive mentalityof a sectarian society.

This piece willdevelop an in-depth historical analysison anarchist theories of nationalismand the diversity of opinions withinanarchism. It will focus on acontradiction between theory rooted inclass-based international criticism anda practice normally consisting ofuncritical antiimperialist and antiracistsolidarity. He intends to show mat thiscontradiction between theory andpractice, along with very little writtenon contemporary nationalism from ananarchist perspective, only serves topolarize the issue of nationalism.Ethnic groups try to advance theirfreedom at all costs and anarchismoften dismisses nationalistic strugglesout-of-hand due to the historicallysimplistic anarchist belief that allpeople will triumph equally. This piecewill include a case study ofcontemporary revolutionarynationalism; an intellectual history ofanarchism and nationalism looking atwriters such Mikhail Bakunin, GustavLanduar, Rudolp Rocker, and FreddyPerlman; and a section oncontemporary issues that oftenintersect with nationalistic struggles,such as prison and antifascist activism.To be completed in March 2001, thispiece will provide us with aninnovative and sophisticatedunderstanding of nationalism from ananarchist perspective. MikeStaudenmaier has been an activeanarchist for ten years now, primarilyin the Chicago area. He has alsoworked extensively with the PuertoRican community in Chicago and hashad opportunity to interact withmembers of the Puerto Ricannationalist movement on a daily basisfor several years.

Mbah andIgariwey will use libertarian analyticaltools to lay bare the problems ofmilitary dictatorship. They willdemonstrate that military dictatorshipis a logical, if perverse, extension ofthe state system (despite liberal andstate socialist criticisms). They willalso show that overthrowing militarydictatorship does not remedy theinstability, economic difficulties, andlack of freedom inherent in the statesystem and neo-colonial capitalism.Drawing on case studies of Nigeria,Egypt, Zaire, and other countries, theywill address the role of the military asan institution on the African continentsince the 1960's.

They will also portray therepression of free speech and humanrights, corruption and economicmismanagement, and the destruction ofcommunal African values. The authors

PERSPECTIVES ON ANARCHIST THEORY
