Friends of PM Press, October 2014 Edition

This month I received:

Patty Hearst & the Twinkie Murders: A Tale of Two Trials, plus Why Was Michelle Shocked Shell-Shocked? and Reflections of a Realist: Outspoken Interview, by Paul Krasner, Number 14 in PM Press’ Outspoken Authors series, edited by Terry Bisson. Krasner is perhaps best known for publishing the controversial Disneyland Memorial Orgy (NSFW) in 1967.
Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariate from the Mayflower to Modern, by J. Sakai. Co-published with Kersplebedeb. This is an expanded new edition of the original which was published in 1983.
The City Is Ours: Squatting and Autonomous Movements in Europe from the 1970’s to Present, edited by Bart van der Steen, Ask Katzeff, and Leendert Hoogenhuijze, with a preface by George Katsiaficas and foreword by Geronimo. If the topic mater wasn’t already close enough to my heart to make this the next book I’m going to read, the title page image includes a “why call it tourist season if we can’t shot them?” banner.

Friends of PM Press, August 2014 Edition

Last month I received:

Black Flags and Windmills: Hope, Anarchy, and the Common Ground Collective, second edition, by Scott Crow, with forewords by Kathleen Cleaver and John P. Clark (the latter is new to the second edition). Here is a written review of the first edition from Center for a Stateless Society and a promo video for the first edition.
Dead Kennedys: Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, The Early Years, by Alex Ogg, with artwork by Winston Smith and photographs by Ruby Ray.
The System, by Peter Kuper, with an introduction by Calvin Reid. This book is gourgeous. not just the art inside, but the book itself. I have already “read” (since there are no words) some of it, and it is exactly the kind of story about people in a city and the world that I have come to expect from Kuper. Even the blurb from Luc Sante on the back is amazing.
Turning Money into Rebellion: The Unlikely Story of Denmark’s Revolutionary Bank Robbers, edited and translated by Gabriel Kuhn. Original German by Klaus Viehmann. Co-published with Kersplebedeb. This book is about the Blekingegade Group and includes historical documents and interviews with two of the groups long-time members.
