do you have any recs for readings on black anarchism? i’ve been feeling pretty frustrated with discussions of race & white supremacy in white anarchist texts
Sorry I took so long to respond to this. I thought I did.
So disclaimer, I am not sure what you think when you think of Black Anarchist because I am definitely not that person as I think I am more Anarchist than Anarkata. I mean I am definitely pro-punching the police, illegalism, burning down institutions of capital and oppression, prison riots, rioting in general, and all of that crusty white anarchist shit knowing that the police will gladly crucify my black ass. I read Bakunin even though he was an anti-semite, and David Graeber. I am a Black Anarchist who acts like he got the privilege of a white one. However, I do understand the frustration of dealing with white leftists disregarding race so because I feel like I was really late in my response, I am going to list not only black anarchists, but also non-Western Anarchists.
Black Anarchism/Anarkata
I think this one is more of what you are looking for.
I don't think Maroon Shoatz was an anarchist. This was just his critique of the Black Panther Party and what led to their ruin.
Also for normal contemporary commentary of Black Anarchism, look up @saint-drew on Youtube.
General Non-Western Anarchism
Asian and Pacific Anarchism
I love this woman. So this is a diary of an anarchist Japanese woman living in 20th Century Japan. She plotted to kill the emperor. She was dope as fuck. I am basing one of my characters of my book off of Kaneko's nihilist philosophy.
Middle East and North Africa
Latin and Caribbean Anarchism
I personally call this the "White Anarchists, Shut the Fuck Up" text.
Indigenous North American Anarchism
I think this is enough. Again @anarcblr is an excellent study guide and resource. @effectiveresistance is great as well on finding where the action is.
this is an excellent reference guide so I'm only going to add a few more, a lot of which you'll see overlap of;
Appending shit. Just using this as a place holder so don’t reblog this just yet.
So @livedpoetry is a Southeast Asian Anarchist and honestly I felt I skimped on some countries so I am adding a few of their additions here per country.
General
Philippines
Part 2 is hyperlinked in the texts
Vietnam
@effectiveresistance — i would love your additions to this if you would grace me with your insight
So many great ones have already been added. But I can add a couple more.
