Радикальная теория и практика
«Радикальная теория и практика» зародилась в 2010 году как неформальная сеть волонтёров, коллективно переводивших книги в свободное от работы время, и в начале 2014 года преобразовалась в издательский кооператив, в котором отношения строятся горизонтально, а решения принимаются консенсусом.
Выпуская книги об истории освободительных движений, социальных и экологических инициативах, альтернативных экономических моделях и политических заключённых, мы стараемся вдохновить активистов на новые свершения и подтолкнуть наше общество к социальным преобразованиям.
Active Distribution
Active Distribution has been around since the 1980s, as a DIY and voluntary project to support our scenes. Run by Jon for over thirty years, he’s now stepped back to focus on Active Distribution Publishing, and a crew based in Bristol have been running the distro side of things. Still keeping things priced as low as possible, distributing a wide range of ‘all things anarchist’ and maintaining a DIY and not for profit ethic.
Here are some articles and interviews from Active’s long history, and a reprint of an old article below.
AK Press
AK Press is a worker-run collective that publishes and distributes radical books and other media to expand minds and change worlds. A half dozen of us put in long hours every week because we believe in what we do. We’re anarchists, which is reflected both in the books we provide and in the way we organize our business. Decisions at AK Press are made democratically, from what we publish, to what we distribute and how we structure our labor. All the work is shared and it gets done without bosses. No one here is in it for the money (although we do have to pay the rent). Our goal is supplying radical ideas to as many people as possible. The books and other media we distribute are mostly published by independent presses, not the corporate giants. We make them widely available to as tools for social movements struggling to build a new world.
PM Press
PM Press is an independent, radical publisher of critically necessary books for our tumultuous times. Our aim is to deliver bold political ideas and vital stories to all walks of life and arm the dreamers to demand the impossible. Founded in 2007 by a small group of people with decades of publishing, media, and organizing experience, we have sold millions of copies of our books, most often one at a time, face to face. We’re old enough to know what we’re doing and young enough to know what’s at stake. Join us to create a better world.
Verso Books
Verso Books is the largest independent, radical publishing house in the English-speaking world, publishing over one hundred books a year.
