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.
