Black Flame: The Revolutionary Class Politics of Anarchism and Syndicalism (Counter-Power Volume 1)

by Michael Schmidt and Lucien van der Walt

Black Flame  is the first of two volumes that reexamine anarchisms democratic class politics, its vision of a decentralized planned economy, and its impact on popular struggles in five continents over the last 150 years. From the nineteenth century to todays anticapitalist movements, it traces anarchisms lineage and contemporary relevance. It outlines anarchisms insights into questions of race, gender, class, and imperialism, significantly reframing the work of previous historians on the subject, and critiquing Marxist and nationalist approaches to those same questions.
Lucien van der Walt  teaches at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
Michael Schmidt  is a Johannesburg-based senior investigative journalist.
