Inspired by the traditions of May 1st and the commemoration of our fallen ccomrades, this reading will explore the narratives of notorious and  sometimes forgotten moments in anarchist history. We willbe sharing texts  about events such as the Haymarket Affair, the hanging and context of  Sacco and Vanzetti, the labor struggle(s) of the turn of the century and  the debates (and rifts) of theory and practice that emerged in America in  the mid 1850's onwards.

Texts can be found on the website.

Inspiré par les traditions du 1er mai et par la commémoration de nos camarades morts en luttant, ce cercle de lecture explorera des récits de moments notoires et parfois oubliées de l'histoire anarchiste. Nous partagerons des textes portant sur des événements tels que l'affaire Haymarket, la pendaison de Sacco et Vanzetti et la mise en contexte, les luttes de travailleurs du début du siècle ainsi que les débats (et ruptures) théoriques et pratiques qui ont émergés en Amérique, vers le milieu des années 1850 et après.

Les textes peuvent être trouvés sur le site.
