Stuart Christie media archive
Thursday, February 22, 2007
UW stumbled across an archive of media relating to Spanish anarchism as well as more general anarcho-syndicalist themes. Includes material on the Angry Brigade, IWW, talks by Chomsky etc…
This collection is the work of Stuart Christie, one of the fonders of Anarchist Black Cross. UW is currently reading Christie & Melzer's "Floodgates of Anarchy" and promises a review/critique.
Meanwhile, the media archive is available here:

I have just learned of the recent death – at age 95 – of John Taylor Caldwell, long-time colleague, companion and co-conspiritor of Guy Aldred.

Thanks, "Caldy"…

I profess no faith in Gods and hold little hope for Man…send in the clowns!
