I'm not involved with
I'm not involved with organising this event and not around for it. The short 1 hour or less meetings listed are unlikely to provide much opportunity for critical discussion but if you missed the London bookfair there will be an opportunity to pick up some useful publications from PM Press and AK Distribution and maybe meet up with comrades from the AF, IWW and SolFed amongst others. You wont find any of the other more marxist influenced communist groups found in or around the London event at this strictly anarchist and campaign orientated event but still worth a visit. Not such a good venue as previously but still easily accessible and gives Salford it's due.

We are doing a talk on
We are doing a talk on Nationalism at this:
https://critisticuffs.org/events/nationalism-manchester-anarchist-bookfair-2016/
5pm
Nationalism is alive and well; some more left-wing (Scottish independence), some more right-wing (Brexit) but the “right of our people to self-determination” has many supporters. In this meeting, we want to present and discuss how nationalists tick, how to criticise them and why we find most critical responses to nationalism rather lacking. We think it is neither enough to tell workers that they have no country nor to discount nationalism as an imagination of community. Instead, we have to understand what nationalists mean by “we, the people” and criticise these ideas.
We will also have new issue of Kittens: https://antinational.org/en/kittens-5/
