WORLD WORLDWIDE CZECH News Journal Update - (en) Czech, AFED, AF Publishers News - What have we prepared for readers since the last Anarchist Book Festival? (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 On Saturday, May 27, from 10:00 a.m., we will meet again after a year at the

stand of the Anarchist Federation Publishing House in front of the Prague club
Cross with readers on the occasion of the 10th annual Anarchist Book Festival .
If you haven't purchased anything from our workshop since last year, here is an
overview of the publications published over the past year, including one brand
new item. ---- Existence #2/2022: Anarchist Strategy ---- The autumn issue of our
anarchist review is devoted to an important topic, namely the ways in which
anarchist politics can currently be thought about. He returns to the debate over
the article "Cough up activism", dissects the politics of the AF, and through
translations, contemporary anarchist theorists Antti Rautiainen and Peter
Gelderloos address the topic of anarchist strategy. The issue of the war in
Ukraine is touched upon by the articles "Malatesta on war and national
self-determination" by Wayne Price, "Misconceptions about imperialism" by Antti
Rautiainen, the ABC-Belarus statement, the AF lecture on false myths about the
war or a critical reaction to the position of the Italian federation. Laura Akai
recalls activism in the US in the 1980s, we return to the struggle for Istanbul's
Gezi Park and we remember the anarchists E. Armando and Ricardo Flores Magón.
Also, reports from events, reviews and texts of wall newspapersA3 . (more HERE )

Existence No. 1/2023: Anarchist Hashek
The spring issue is dedicated to Jaroslav Hashek, whose death anniversary we
commemorate this year. We focus on his life and work, paying particular attention
to his involvement in the anarchist movement and the anti-authoritarian attitudes
that accompanied his entire life. There are regular columns about the activities
of the movement, about AF, reviews and A3 texts . Unfortunately, there are quite
a few obituaries and the topic of the ongoing war in Ukraine. The Dresden
collective AF comments on this from the point of view of the assistance provided
and Wayne Price with parallels from the past. At the same time, we present an
extensive interview with the author of the text about the history of his
political involvement. (more HERE )

was, how rich and fruitful his life was, who were his closest comrades, how he
fit into the context of the Mexican Revolution and how he addressed the future
Zapatistas. The collection also includes several of Magón's texts, which showhow
he brought anarchist ideas to the readers of the Regeneración newspaper in his
unique way . (more HERE )

Ihar Alinevic: I'm going to Magadan. Prison diary of an anarchist
Anarchist Ihar Alinevich (Russian: Igor Olinevich) is a political prisoner of the
Belarusian regime. He was arrested for the first time in 2010 and subsequently
sentenced to 8 years without evidence. In 2012, his prison diary Jedu do Magadan
was published . It immediately became not only a documentary, but also a literary
hit. Igor writes about what is happening in contemporary Belarus, about a
person's choice in a situation between life and death, between freedom and
captivity, conscience and betrayal. In 2020, when mass anti-government protests
broke out in Belarus, Igor was arrested again and a year later (in a trial with
other anarchists) sentenced to 20 years. The book is the 2nd edition with graphic
editing and a cover by Jana Anna Cholvadt. (more HERE )

Wayne Price: Marx's Economics for Anarchists

Anarchists generally condemn Marx as a historical figure of the workers'
movement, since his disputes with anti-authoritarians in the First International.
On the other hand, they always spoke with appreciation about Marx's analysis of
the capitalist system. And it is precisely this question that is addressed in the
work with the subtitle "An Anarchist Introduction to Marx's Critique of Political
Economy" by Wayne Price, who as a "Marxist-informed anarchist" tries to bring
Marx's critique of political economy as briefly as possible and confront it with
developments in the 20th century and criticism from anarchist positions. (more HERE )

Jaroslav Hashek: A fascinating history

And the hottest new thing is a collection of short stories, humor stories, poems
and feuilletons that Jaroslav Hashek published in the anarchist newspapers Matice
Svoboda, Omladina, Nová Omladina, Komuna and Chudas , in some of which he acted
as their paid editor between 1904 and 1907. This book was published on the
occasion of the centenary of Hashek's death. Where necessary, the realities
mentioned in the stories are provided with explanatory notes. (more HERE )
(196 pages A6, recommended contribution to cover costs CZK 150)

So much for last year's offer. Of course, most of the older issues of Existence ,
books , brochures , comics , paperbacks and the popular anarchist songbook will
also be available .

So come to the Anarchist Book Festival, which will include a rich program, and
support the anarchist press, because your support is a necessary condition for it
