I've been looking for some of Luigi Fabbri's texts in English. He wrote this really great book on fascism from an anarchist perspective. I have a brief excerpt from it in one of my anthologies, but I'd love to be able to get my hands on the book. I don't read any language other than English, and I am willing to pay for the book, or the postage to just borrow the book. I have "Bourgeois Influences on Anarchsim" and enjoyed reading it. It's always great seeing Ravochol in print, as he was the ultimate characature of the old "propaganda by the deed" hordes demonized by the press as representing anarchism.

But, anyway. Yeah, I'd like to know where I can get a hold of Fabbri's texts.

Does anybody know any way of contacting the FdCA? Maybe they'll translate some of his stuff.

I've been looking around for Bourgeois Influences online and at one point threatened to type it up myself, but then I sent my own copy to someone who said they'd review it for our magazine and then DIDN'T. angry If anyone has it in digital form it's a PRIME candidate for the library here.... smile

I have it at home, but I marked it up with my notes and highlighting. It's available from AK press. If nobody scans it, then I can scan mine, but I'd hate to do that with all the notes and all.

you'll note a discussion between the bolshie Bukharin and Fabbri, it's an interesting piece. albert meltzer wrote the introduction, too.

here's the .pdf link to it, too:

nestor mc nab an irish bloke who lives in rome is the international secretary of the FdCA and does loads of the translation for anarkismo. So he'd be the man to contact he runs the nestor makhno website and his e-mail is on that somewhere. http://www.nestormakhno.info/

Personally I thought Bourgeois Influences on Anarchism was shite but I remember liking his debate with Bukharin.
