{"title":"Artist Publishers: Fugitive Materials","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFugitive Materials is committed to the preservation of radical, lesser-known, and alternative histories and to the disruption of informational privilege through publishing, bookselling, and archiving. Fugitive Materials specializes in the material cultures of resistance: the detritus of radical social movements, histories of labor, counterculture, pedagogy, urbanism, uprisings, and art. They place archives with libraries, universities, and museums and sell rare books, artifacts, and ephemera from 20th-century cultural movements so that they may be available to future generations of scholars, organizers, and readers. Fugitive Materials also publishes books and zines, often prompted by discovering rare or unique radical ephemera. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efugitivematerials.com\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"in-their-words-discursive-origins-of-the-iranian-fadai","title":"In Their Words: Discursive Origins of the Iranian Fadai","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe People’s Fadai (literally, “self-sacrificers”) were a prominent Marxist-Leninist guerrilla organization in Iran. The Fadai emerged in the 1960s from a diffuse movement advocating for armed struggle, in response to the monarchic regime’s increasingly violent crackdowns against all forms of dissent. Many of these original guerrilla groups were dismantled by the secret police, known as the SAVAK, before they had the chance to launch any actual militant actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis zine examines a selection of texts influential to or produced by the Fadai. Gradually, their period of study produced original theoretical works that would inform the guerrilla resistance in Iran. Over the course of a decade and a half, these works culminated in the radical newspaper Kar, which is still in publication today. Despite decades of militant leftist publishing and revolutionary movement, Iranian communist thought remains removed from much of the wider Marxist canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis zine seeks to take a step towards remedying this oversight by detailing many of the publications and periodicals related to the Fadai, which belong alongside the better-known texts of Marxists from Latin America, China, and the United States.

For War, Nothing takes a critical view of the human rights and “dialogue” industries, which seek to divorce violence and atrocity from its endemicity to an economic system that enriches the few and immiserates the many. Colectivo Sub*versión tracks how jurisprudential categories like “victim” and “peace” displace political thinking and calls for Colombians to adopt the kind of autonomous, horizontal organizing that would become a core part of the recent wave of uprisings. Perhaps most importantly for anglophone readers, the collective provides a framework for understanding armed conflict as an extension of the sharpened conditions of class war in which many who live in the periphery of the global circuits of capital accumulation find themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idea House 3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157250031911,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/ForWarNothingCover.jpg?v=1700408456"},{"product_id":"just-like-a-tree-standing-by-the-water-we-shall-not-be-moved-the-ccny-student-strike-of-1949","title":"Just Like A Tree Standing by the Water, We Shall Not Be Moved: The CCNY Student Strike of 1949","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis \u003cem\u003eFugitive Materials\u003c\/em\u003e zine details the events of a 1949 protest at the City College of New York that has remained largely unstudied and unrecorded, but undoubtedly helped prepare for student activism in New York and across the country in the 50s and 60s.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Idea House 3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157275885863,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/Screen_Shot_2022-04-10_at_3.54.34_PM.png?v=1700408959"},{"product_id":"opposition-black-mask-ben-morea-u-a-w-m-f","title":"Opposition: Black Mask, Ben Morea, U.A.W.M.F.","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOpposition: Black Mask, Ben Morea, \u0026amp; U.A.W.M.F\u003c\/em\u003e: an updated edition of the long out-of-print 2014 catalog dedicated to Morea’s political and artistic activities throughout the 1960s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMorea’s work engaged with the underground press, early performance art, experimental theater, and community organizing.
