MA Thesis on British anarchism - help needed
Jun 29 2009 14:57
Hi
I am a Polish student writing an MA entitled "British Anarchism between 1960 and 1990".
I have already collected a lot of materials, but there is a long way ahead of my research.
I have found a lot of theoretical texts and I am lacking in accounts of actions then.
If somebody could help me somehow I would be very grateful.

Does SolFed have archives of old materials from when they were DAM? The Sparrow's Nest has a huge archive of old stuff, if you get in touch with them they might be able to photocopy/scan relevant stuff for you.

Yes, we have recently been in contact with frantik about material from this time period. We have most of the Syndicalist Workers Federation and Direct Action Movement publications like "Direct Action", "World Labour News" and "New World", as well as publications like "Red and Black Outlook" which are likely to help with the research. We'll do what we can to help. We don't have many issues of "Black Flag" though, can anyone suggest a good place to get these or arrange copies?

Like I said, the Sparrow's Nest seems to have quite a few. Could see if Freedom still have any?

Thanks. I had a look at the database on the sparrow's nest website. It seems that the stuff I'm looking for is listed as part of a specific collection or bundle. There was some discussion about a large collection of Black Flags on here some years ago I think by Anarcho, iirc.

Hey comrade. For abit of background knowledge there is no harm in listening to some of these podcasts by Ian Bone. Some are quite entertaining.

You should definetly talk about the miners striking, probly the best example of working class power in that time scale. Let me know how it goes. Are you in the UK? if so you should check out freedom book shop in aldgate east im sure they will help you out with any books needed.
