Radical Spaces: A Conversation With Cindy Milstein

04/14/20 • 21 min

"[Radical spaces] serve increasingly where there's almost no place that isn't privatized or commodified or policed. More and more they serve a crucial role of people finding each other and being able to actually engage in face to face conversation... After the Trump election, so many people were suddenly interested in politics, and where do you go to find that?" Cindy Milstein is the author of Anarchism and Its Aspirations, co-author of Paths toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism, and editor of the anthologies Taking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism and Rebellious Mourning: The Collective Work of Grief.

ACAB 2019: A Conversation with Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair

For the first installment of our Community Sustainers Drive, members of our co-op sat down with organizers of the third annual Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair happening this weekend, August 23 - 25, in Asheville, North Carolina. In our conversation we cover the origin of the book fair, the responsibility of organizers in curating a safe(r) space of encounter, the importance of gatherings like this for anarchists and anti-authoritarians in southern Appalachia, and what newcomers might expect of their experience. We think you'll enjoy and we hope to see you at the book fair!
