DATE AND TIME: FEBRUARY 18, 2012 AT 7PM

Maia Ramnath’s new book is on the anti-authoritarian elements of India’s liberation struggle, examining the history of South Asian struggles against colonialism. It is the third title in the Anarchist Interventions book series, co-published between AK Press and the Institute for Anarchist Studies. Come hear about decolonizing anarchism. Copies will be available at a reduced cost.

Also in attendance will be members of the Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS). Because the IAS is a 501(c)3 we have a board of directors, the policy making collective of the organization. Board members will introduce themselves, talk about their organizing work and thoughts about contemporary politics, and attendees will have a chance to talk with them informally.

MORE INFO ABOUT THE IAS

In its fifteen years of existence, the Institute for Anarchist Studies has funded over 90 writing projects, giving out roughly $80,000 to individuals in 12 countries. In addition to financing writers and copublishing books with AK Press, the IAS also publishes Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, has a speakers bureau, and organizes workshops and talks at conferences. Twice a year the IAS meets to award $2,000 to various struggling radical writers to support their writing. For the first time the IAS will be meeting on the West Coast. IAS folks will be coming from Quebec, Ontario, New York, Philadelphia, Oakland, D.C., L.A., and Detroit.
