Hi, this is my first post, hoping to find some individuals with both similar and different journeys and experiences to me. I am currently reading a book called Wobblies and Zapatistas, which is framed as an interview with Staughton Lynd and discusses topics like Marxism, Anarchism, and how they have worked or can work together, accompaniment, guerilla history, liberation theology, SNCC and IWW, and the 1994 Zapatista uprising, among others.
Has anyone read this? I have been finding it very enlightening and it points the way to a host of other works I intend to check out later on as well. Happy to discuss elements of the book, take recommendations from you all, hear opinions on Lynd or the movements he's been a part of, or really whatever folks want to discuss!
Hope I haven't violated any group rules, happy to be here!

Delighted to see this post. I am unfamiliar with Wobbles and Zapatistas but the title/topic is right up my alley and I now intend to search it out. As far as recommendations ... where to begin. For books on anarchism I suggest almost anything by Paul Avrich or Murray Bookchin. Augustin Souchy wrote a wonderful autobiography titled Beware! Anarchist! about his amazing life.

Delighted to see this post. I am unfamiliar with this book but intend to seek it out. As for recommendations, I hardly know where to start. Murray Bookchin and Paul Avrich have both written extensively on Anarchism, historically and in practice. As for spontaneous insurrection Yves Fremion 'Orgasms of history' would be worthwhile. The unknown revolution by Voline , a Russian anarchist intellectual, is a rather dry but important work about the libertarian components that were such a vital part of the Russian revolution before there eventual suppression.

Thanks for the kind responses! I'll be adding some of these recommendations to my reading list for sure. :)
