Our history is usually a hidden history as this present economic system has no place for those who wish to change the status quo. All the more reason we must record and preserve our history, and make it easily accessible to all. The history of anarchism is the long and difficult struggle of people for justice and freedom, without our recorded history, we were never there, our struggles become invisible. It is also a text book for the next generation to learn from and advance that undying human desire for a just and fair world of freedom for all, for an end to exploitation and authority over others.
The following from The Trans Metropolitan Review:
We are pleased to belatedly announce the publication of Secolo Nuovo; or, The Times of Promise, published by Detritus Books out of Olympia, Washington. This work of anarchist fiction and history took over a decade to complete and was shaped by many hands, including our own. We wish to congratulate the researchers, archivists, historians, publishers, and thankless scribes who made this book a reality.
To honor the contents of the book, including that which escaped its pages, we are happy to release our latest film, L’epoca D’oro (or, the Golden Age), a chronicle of rebellion from the 1880s to the 1910s. Included in the film are Cree warriors fighting the Canadian state, Apache warriors fighting the Mexican and US state, anarchists fighting every state on earth, and an eccentric inventor named Nikola Tesla who is determined to create a planetary system of free, clean energy. All of these events are touched on in Secolo Nuovo, and our film can be seen as a companion to the book, enlarging its scope both geographically and mentally.
Also included is a review of Secolo Nuovo by Marieke Bivar, recently printed in The Fifth Estate, the longest running anarchist newspaper in the US.
As always, we hope these works can aid you in your current struggles, whatever they may be.
Long Live Anarchy!
