Join Caroline Kaltefleiter (Anarchism and Punk Book Project co-editor) at a book launch for Smash the System! Punk Anarchism as a Culture of Resistance at Autumn Leaves, also featuring contributing author Spencer Beswick.
Caroline Kaltefleiter will give framing comments on Smash the System!, which offers a snapshot of anarchist punk as a culture of resistance across the globe. In these diverse and internationalist chapters we witness struggles against racism and colonialism in South Africa, resistance to neo-liberalism and state oppression in Latin America, resistance to police brutality and capitalism in Western, Central and Southeast Europe, struggles for equality and against patriarchy in the US, and anarchist resistance against injustice and authoritarianism in Asia.
Spencer Beswick will discuss his chapter (to be published in Book 2 in the series) titled ‘Smashing Whiteness: Race, Class, and Punk Culture in the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation (1989-1998)’.
