A quick way to get an overview of left libertarian and progressive populist literature (including an abundance of anarchist and anti-authoritarian items) is to browse through the AK Press Distribution Catalog. This catalog is published annually. The 2004 edition is 215 pages long, printed on letter-sized paper, in fairly small type. The entries are annotated. It is a fairly massive compilation of materials currently available, from many dozens of publishers and activist groups, although it is by no means complete. Its nonfiction section is biggest, but AK also distributes works of fiction, and audio and video materials. They also of course distribute their own, more strictly anarchist, publications. The catalog can be acquired from AK Press, 674-A 23rd Street, Oakland, California, 94612.

      I would also like to recommend my own book-length bibliography: Emancipatory Social Thought: A Partially Annotated Bibliography in English for the Libertarian Left and Progressive Populists in the United States. It has an index that will guide the reader to dozens of topics, like the Paris Commune, the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the Spanish Civil War, anarchist classics, sustainable agriculture, radical geography, critiques of religion, situationism, council communism, surrealism, utopian studies, communes, the free speech movement, the sixties, the Frankfurt School, workers control, unschooling, critiques of the US constitution, local currencies, to mention only a few. It is by no means comprehensive. I’ve haven’t spent years systematically researching this, but have compiled it mainly from materials ready at hand. I know I have missed many things, am relatively uninformed in some areas, and may not have the latest or best works on some topics. Nevertheless, I have a fairly wide familiarity with the literature of liberation. I hope the bibliography will be useful to those seeking to bring into being a new social world, one without states, capitalism, classes, wages, money, markets, or war, and one without discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, residence, beliefs, intelligence, or looks.

      For those who need a leg up now, I’ve listed below sixty seven classics. Some names not included on the list are: Julius Martov, Hannah Arendt, George Sorel, Elisee Reclus, Karl Kautsky, Louise Michel, Jean-Paul Sartre, Dorothy Day, Nestor Makhno, Alexander Herzen, Walter Benjamin, Raya Dunayevskaya, Irving Howe, Raoul Vaneigem, Sidney Lens, Jack London, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, E.P. Thompson, and on and on. With the Internet, it is now relatively easy to find references to works by these authors, either by plugging into the big library catalogs (like the WorldCat), book seller data bases (like Barnes & Noble, or Amazon), or used book networks (like the Advanced Book Exchange).

      Next, I list two hundred fourteen contemporary books that I have found especially interesting (beginning in the 1960s, mostly, but with a few older books thrown in) . It is divided into two parts: (a) Forty-nine books that are most immediately relevant to the social philosophy undergirding this book, and then (b) other books I have especially liked, although not necessarily always agreed with (165 titles). Lists like this latter one are obviously rather subjective or personal in nature.

      Finally, I provide a brief list (by no means comprehensive) of journals, magazines, newspapers, and newsletters that are worth examining.
