An Anarchist Playbook

Texts from the French Revolution translated by Radical Translation Workshop

"An Anarchist Playbook is an excavation of future thinking. In its radical mode of communal translation, it recovers equally radical political energies." - Adam Thirlwell

"An Anarchist Playbook is an essential collection of works that were the roots from which all later revolutionary ideas grew. Skillfully translated and beautifully designed, it belongs in every radical’s library." - Mitch Abidor

"These voices from the French Revolution, whether in the form of manifesto, letter, song, or play, ring out for us in the twenty-first century as if they are our contemporaries. And they are! Never did the principle of equality formulated in so many grand constitutions and declarations sound so hollow. Never was it more urgent for the majority to defy the tiny minority that holds power and achieve proper equality for themselves. These remarkable texts in translation speak to the courage, humour and lucidity that is needed. The crowned heads of Europe and the Pope marooned on an island fending for themselves! Just imagine!" - Peter Bush
