Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice (Working Classics)
In 1937, at the behest of Emma Goldman, Rocker penned this political and philosophical masterpiece as an introduction to the ideals fueling the Spanish social revolution and resistance to capitalism the world over. Within, Rocker offers an introduction to anarchist ideas, a history of the international workers’ movement, and an outline of the syndicalist strategies and tactics embraced at the time (direct action, sabotage and the general strike). Includes a lengthy introduction by Nicholas Walter and a Preface by Noam Chomsky. “[Rocker’s] approach is far from ‘utopian’; this is not an abstract discourse but a call to action.”—Noam Chomsky Rudolf Rocker (1873–1958) was a leading figure in the international anarchist movement for over 60 years. .

Culture Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers
"Vivid autobiography from the Grammy Awardwinning filmmaker, friend of The Clash and Bob Marley, DJ and co-founder of Big Audio Dynamite "-Observer Music Monthly "Whether relating tales of fainting at Black Panther meetings, being stopped under SUS laws, going to Jamaica, hanging out with Bob Marley and Afrika Bambaataa, forming a band with Mick Jones and most recently capturing Gil Scott Heron, Paul Weller and George Clinton on celluloid, he emerges as an intelligent, arresting, thoroughly likeable narrator."-Mojo "[Don] Letts is extraordinarily honest in every sense. Throughout, his sense of assurance and confidence in his place within the world-outsider and insider by equal measure-is inspiring."-The Wire "The best lesson that the filmmaker Don Letts' autobiography can teach modern Britain is a simple one. Never limit yourself. Letts did not allow himself to be fully defined by his colour, nationality or even his Rastafarianism. That helped him play a part in the unification of the punk and reggae scenes. In doing so, he helped race relations in this country to no end."-The Independent "Letts' opinionated and witty narrative is full of the kind of anecdotes (filming and hanging out with the Clash, Sex Pistols, Bob Marley and more) that some people would trade a limb for."-Q Recommends Don Letts has never pigeonholed himself. Culture Clash is a firsthand account, told in Letts' own words-it's highly visual, revelatory, irreverent, entertaining, and staunchly individual. .

New York Rocker: My Life in the Blank Generation with Blondie, Iggy Pop, and Others, 1974-1981
By 1970, the hippie dream of the 60s was dead — the soundtrack of the revolution had become a multimillion-dollar industry Glitter tried to save music's soul, but was too commercial to be cutting edge for long. Then, in 1974, a rescue movement arrived. Three chords, black jeans, a pair of shades, and a whole lot of attitude made music that matched the facts of life on its home ground, mid-70sNew York City's East Village. The initiators of punk, Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine, and Patti Smith had one foot in nineteenth-century French symbolist poetry and the other in the raw sound of their predecessors such as the Velvet Underground. This first-hand account of a little-documented era features luminaries such as Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Divine, Devo, and the New York Dolls, and tells of the gigs at CBGB hitting the news as Warhol and his glittering crew descended. What began as a unique blend of fin-de-siècle ennui and razor-sharp rock became anarchic frenzy and safety pins, overrun by gutter decadence and stupid-chic. With Malcolm McLaren hijacking the scene's momentum, the Blank Generation plunged into excess and eventual ruin, its survivors making the leap into mainstream. .

The Boat Rocker: A Poetry of Life
The Boat Rocker is a poetry of life that both presents a philosophy of life and describes an art of living that has been learned the hard way--by actually living a life; by having tasted all the joys life offers and having suffered many of the tragedies and pains life inevitably brings as well. While The Boat Rocker will not help a person to avoid all tragedy and pain--those are a part of every life--it will help everyone who takes it's message to heart to avoid some needless suffering and to get through whatever vale of tears is encountered through a simple act of faith, for fidelity is everything in life--fidelity to self, fidelity to our loved ones, fidelity to our purpose in life, and fidelity to God. These are essential for a well-lived, rewarding life. But love is the heart and soul of faith, and faith is but love made real. .
