Feminists within the anarchist movement have historically critiqued its male- dominated sphere and have, thus, created a new theoretical and practical framework: anarcha-feminism. Anarcha-feminist praxis challenges both anarchism and feminism by simultaneously critiquing and confronting capitalism and patriarchy. Interviews with anarcha-feminists and anarchist scholars reveal their experiences of "anarchosexism" and their resistance to "manarchy". The re-telling of anarchist women's experiences show the ways in which patriarchal oppression is reproduced among their male "allies". This research highlights the political and sexual pluralities that anarcha-feminists have historically fought for, which continue to be contested and appropriated by men. Addressing concepts of free love and plural sexuality, and patterns of sexual abuse and rape within anarchist communities, this thesis uncovers the complex struggle for (and against) womens' liberation among anarchists. Examining feminist (under)representation at anarchist bookfairs, conferences, meetings, and schools provides further insight on the gendered tensions and negotiations. Centralizing female subjects as creators of knowledge offers a subversive feminist lens through which to view and critique the cultural, social and political manifestations of anarchism.

We're dealing with anarchism right here.". .1 Chapter 1: No Pretence 4 Chapter 2: Feminist Methods 9 Chapter 3: Anarcha-feminist Epistemology 14 Chapter 4: "We Want More Than Dirt and Worms" 37 Chapter 5: Confronting "Anarcho-sexism" 60 Chapter 6: Predator Pedagogy 77 Chapter 7: With Tongue, Hands, and Heart 87 Conclusion: Plural Desires 97 Bibliography 99 Appendix 1 Introduction: "That's a feminist issue. We're dealing with anarchism right here." Anarcha-feminists are not women who happen to be both anarchists and feminists. Anarchism and feminism are not closely linked. They are not related. They are one. By separating anarchism and feminism, men are able to marginalize women and our struggles and to effectively cut the heart and the social out of anarchist philosophy and theory. When we challenge internal group patriarchy, men quickly relegate that "issue " to the feminist realm. "Oh, that's a feminist issue. We're dealing with anarchism right here. You should go talk to NOW (National Organization of Women) about that one. "Anarchism is not just about money, brothers. It's not just about economic class. (Sallydarity)' Anarchist theory views all hierarchies as oppressive and proposes replacing oppressive power with horizontal power-sharing. Feminist goals of eliminating gender oppression through the self determination of women incorporate anarchist principles of mutual aid, autonomy, and anti-authoritarian networks. Second-wave feminism is widely known for consciousness-raising groups among women discussing their personal political issues. American feminist Peggy Kronegger likens the format of these politicizing gatherings to grassroots anarchist groups: The structure of women s groups bore a striking resemblance to that of anarchist affinity groups within anarcho-syndicalist unions in Spain, France, and many other countries. Yet, we had not called ourselves anarchists and consciously organised around anarchist principles." Feminist theory is essential to anarchism; the ways in which anarchism is a feminist issue will be a recurring theme throughout this thesis. Through my research, I have observed patterns in gendered relations at anarchist events in urban Canadian settings. My thesis connects these observations to contemporary anarcha-feminist analysis from other regions as well as historical anarcha-feminist publications and cultural production. Recognizing the role that cultural production plays in the public assertion of anarcha-feminist ideals, I have produced a video using my research content as a means of returning my findings to 2 the studied communities, and initiating a feminist dialogue among anarchists. Violence against women is institutionalized within anarchist communities that sexually objectify and sexually abuse women. This thesis contributes a feminist narrative which disrupts the dominant male centric anarchist voice and serves as a means to address and prevent harm caused by male manipulation and violence. Chapter 1 "No Pretence" highlights a series of related happenings in Canadian and US anarchist communities documented through feminist response to sexual attacks from male anarchists. These events indicate a disturbing pattern of unaccountability and denial of sexual assault in anarchist scenes. Chapter 2 "Feminist Methods" describes the mixed methods I have applied in generating data for this thesis. My research gathers commentary on anarchist events and their meanings with a focus on the political ideologies, influences, activism and goals of Canadian-based feminist anarchists. Offering a glimpse into the lives of contemporary anarcha-feminists, Chapter 3 "Feminist Epistemology" reviews themes emerging from interviews with anarchists in the Canadian context as they share their personal and political struggles in relation to anarchism and patriarchy. Chapter 4 "We Want More Than Dirt and Worms" presents, in its entirety, an interview with members of the musical group Submission Hold as they reflect on the connections between gender, power, parenthood, misogyny, and the exclusion of anarcha-feminist praxis in anarchist communities. Faced with epistemic and physical violence in the anarchist movement and in society at large, anarcha-feminists look to a history of resistance and multifaceted struggle. Anarcha-feminists view women's struggles as simultaneously feminist and anarchist. Chapter 5 "Confronting Anarcho-sexism" examines responses from 3 interviewees about these intersections and why they are widely unobserved in anarchist spaces. The backlash women continue to face when identifying rapists exemplifies the institutionalized misogyny within anarchist scenes and results in anarchists defending rapists and denying rape. Chapter 6: "Predator Pedagogies" considers the context in which male-determined sexual norms are promoted to female anarchists. The institutionalization of polyamory within anarchist communities dominated by male leadership promotes male privilege and sexual access of women, creating an environment where sexual abuse is perpetuated and excused. Deconstructing these patterns of abuse requires identifying the misogyny inherent in pedagogies of male anarchists. Chapter 7 analyses the content of my film project "With Tongue, Hands, and Heart" and observes gendered patterns in the documentary subjects. Analyzing anarcha-feminist cultural production of music, speeches and video as well as reviewing feminist histories has provided me with historical examples of anarcha- feminist activism.

    CRASS JOURNAL: A record of letters, articles, postings and e-mails, February 2009 – September 2010 concerning Penny, Gee and Allison’s ‘Crassical Collection’. 1 Mark Hodkinson Pete Wright POMONA 22nd March, 2004 Dear Mark, I was sent a copy of your book, ‘Crass - Love Songs’ by Gee recently. Having read your introduction, and the preface by Penny, I felt moved to write to you. Crass was a group functioning on consensus with the occasional veto thrown in for good measure, so I thought you might be interested in a slightly different view of the proceedings. From the nature of your introduction, I’d say that you have a pretty thorough grounding in certain aspects of the band. I’d like to broaden the context. Things were fine when we started gigging, before we had any status or influence. The main discomfort I felt and still feel about what the band promoted, started when I realised that Thatcher’s sordid right-wing laissez-faire was little different from what we were pushing. It was an unpleasant shock. Neither Thatcher nor we considered the damage done. We concentrated on the ‘plus’ side always. To say that everyone can ‘do it’, and counting it a justification when the talented, the motivated, or the plain privileged responded, while ignoring the majority who couldn’t ‘do it’, and those who got damaged trying, is a poor measure of success. Just as Putin has become the new Tzar of Russia, Crass used the well worn paths to success and influence. We had friends, people with whom we worked and cooperated.

QI WANG ABSTRACT: This article studies post-2000 Chinese feminist activism from a generational perspective. It operationalises three notions of gene- ration—generation as an age cohort, generation as a historical cohort, and “political generation”—to shed light on the question of generation and generational change in post-socialist Chinese feminism. The study shows how the younger generation of women have come to the forefront of feminist protest in China and how the historical conditions they live in have shaped their feminist outlook. In parallel, it examines how a “po- litical generation” emerges when feminists of different ages are drawn together by a shared political awakening and collaborate across age. KEYWORDS:

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

This project analyzed five post- Franco films that dealt with the issue of the Spanish Civil War or Franco regime to determine if they were a counter to official political discourse on the subject. In addition to analyzing the films themselves, research was also done on a variety of official discourse pertaining to the recovery of memory in Spain. Upon examination it became clear that the overarching discourse in Spain is a refusal to address the issues of the past.

The second goal of the study is to create a model of the causes of discrimination against men. According to the model, which synthesizes administrative sciences, gender studies and memetics, gender discrimination is caused by a mental diff erentiation between men and women. This diff erentiation tends to lead to the segregation of societies into masculine and feminine activities, and to organizations and net- works which are dominated by either men or by women.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.
