FIFTH ESTATE Fall 2011 Vol. 46, #2, #385

Issue Theme: Anarchist Fiction

In a 1905 letter from prison, Alexander Berkman wrote: “None of us are ready for anarchy, though many are for anarchism.” In this letter, Berkman defined anarchism as a philosophy, and anarchy as a social state, the end goal of anarchism.

The Fifth Estate’s new issue explores visions of anarchism and anarchy through fiction. From fictional struggles of anarchists in the past and present, to stories of an anarchist future, we explore the many facets of anarchism as a philosophy, anarchy as a social state, and anything and everything else in between.
