The Spaces Between
This zine was added to our catalog more than 5 years ago. You may want to verify information contained within is still relevant.

This zine contains writings from anarchists in North America (primarily the United States) who live outside the anarchist “hotspots” on the coasts. It consists of a series of responses to interview questions posed by The Spaces Between project. Respondents come from cities covered are Evansville, Minneapolis, rural British Columbia, Modesto, Louisville, Athens, and Tucson.

The questions and responses cover a number of important issues including general political understanding, how people combat isolation, how they relate to the larger anarchist space, and the type of projects people are engaging. This is essential reading for anarchists in North America, as it should ideally broaden our understanding of what it means to be an anarchist and what anarchy looks like in a variety of different places.

There are just your friends who answer the call...”
