Bulletin of the Kate Sharpley Library #110

The August 2023 issue of this frequently published bulletin of anarchist history. It has write-ups on a variety of historical topics and announcements relating to new resources for studying anarchist history. In one of the articles -- "'Our Cause May Grow The Richer,'" Some thoughts on Billy MacQueen" features a provocative quote from anarchist historian Barry Pateman:

Anarchist newspapers can flatter to deceive for the researcher in anarchist history. They often shed a light on some of what is happening at a certain time and in a certain place. They provide windows into areas of anarchist history and fill in some of the rather daunting gaps that come with the territory, but it would be foolhardy for us to insist that the study of anarchist print culture of a certain period is a full and realistic picture of anarchists and anarchist activity during that time.

It's worth considering as one reads anarchist histories that rely heavily on anarchist publications.

Fist Full of Concrete

This zine -- sub-titled "Some Thoughts Towards Insurrection" -- collects several recent essays by Ignatius that have appeared on a variety of anarchist websites over the past few months. It broadly articulates that the world of prisons, captial, police, and work were invented and that it "simply does not have to be this way". In other words, everything can be attacked undermined.
