ITEM OVERVIEW
The long-awaited continuation of Robert Graham's comprehensive documentary history of anarchism, Volume Two picks up where Volume One left off, in 1939, and brings us up to 1977. This volume, similarly broad in both its geographical and intellectual scope, documents both continuity and change in anarchist ideas. In addition fo English language material from England and North America, this volume also includes never-before-published translations from all over the world.

Topics addressed in this volume include: the emergence of new anarchist currents in the aftermath of the Spanish Revolution and the Second World War; the remarkable resurgence of anarchist ideas and action during the 1960s; anarchist opposition to colonialism; war and the arms race; national liberation movements; techno-bureaucracy and the "new class"; cultural transformation; art and the utopian imagination; and the social and sexual revolutions. A thorough treatment of these topics, and more, weighing in at a whopping 525 pages!
