Ken Knabb is, of course, most well known for his editing of the important Situationist Anthology. I had some brief correspondence w/ him & he sent me ads for his bks. That irritated me because I have no intention of becoming a consumer of someone else's radicalism. SO, I wrote to him & told him that if he wanted to trade w/ me, fine, but otherwise to please not send me advertisements - regardless of whether the product is something I support. To his credit, he agreed to trade & I sent him a record of mine & he sent me this bk. I read it & liked it. It was interesting to follow his personal political development.

Literary Nonfiction. Politics. Critical Theory. The first half of the book consists of two new texts. "The Joy of Revolution" is a series of observations on the problems and possibilities of a global antihierarchical revolution. Beginning with a brief overview of the failure of Bolshevism and the inadequacy of reformism, it examines the pros and cons of a wide range of radical tactics, then concludes with some speculations on what a liberated society might be like. "Confessions of a Mild-Mannered Enemy of the State" is largely concerned with Knabb's situationist activities, but it also includes reminiscences of the sixties counterculture and accounts of his Zen practice and other later ventures. The second half of the book contains virtually all of Knabb's previous publications. Beginning with his 1970 disruption of a Gary Snyder poetry reading, it includes critiques of the New Left and the counterculture; accounts of situationist groups, tactics and scandals;translations of several French texts; an appreciation of the great writer and social critic, Kenneth Rexroth; pamphlets, posters, comics and articles on Wilhelm Reich, radical Buddhists, Japanese anarchists, Chinese dissidents, the 1970 Polish revolt, the 1979 Iranian uprising; and the widely reproduced Gulf war tract, "The War and the Spectacle." The aim throughout is to bring the real choices into the open and to incite people to make their own radical experiments. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
