Colin Ward (1924–2010)

"Housmans has a book launch for the reprinting of Colin Ward's famous text Anarchy In Action. Colin is one of British anarchism's best-known authors and Housmans will have all six of his books published by Freedom Press plus those published by Five Leaves, plus some others, such as Child in the City ... (more)and Child in the Country, that have been unavailable for years. (We've managed to find some remaindered stock.) Colin was the editor of the famous magazine Anarchy which appeared every month during the decade of the 1960s, bringing a fresh anarchist perspective on subjects such as housing and education. Anarchy In Action is an attempt to show "that an anarchist society, a society which organises itself without authority, is always in existence, like a seed beneath the snow, buried under the state and its bureaucracy, capitalism and its waste. . . " It is also an introduction to anarchist ideas, a justification of them, and a philosophical way forward. Come and see Colin on the 19th."
