Mob Action Against the State: Collected Speeches from the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair (Ak Press Audio) Christian Parenti Abridged edition

The Bay Area is rich in local radicals, and most of them have taken a turn at the microphone of the renowned Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair. Here's an all-star collection from the speakers' corner of the bookfair: Jello Biafra, ex-frontman for the punk band Dead Kennedys; Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti; author Christian Parenti (Lockdown America); author/punk rocker Craig O'Hara (The Philosophy of Punk); anti-prison activist/author Ruth Wilson Gilmore (Golden Gulag); and Emma Goldman Papers curator Barry Pateman cut loose on anarchism, art, prisons, politics and more, in a relaxed setting.
