A History of Anarchism in Aotearoa/New Zealand from the Mid-1950s to the Early 1980s

Partly a travel journal written in Palestine/Israel, partly random thoughts about Palestine, Zionism, Jewish identity, colonialism and stargate SG1.

I spent two months wandering around Europe. Nine planes, twenty two trains, twenty four beds. So this zine is about vegan food, public parks, fancy buildings, trains, books, squats, museums, anarchist social centres, Jewish history, trees, rabbits, seagulls and anxiety.

A zine about depression, anxiety, capitalism, teen angst and taking care of each other.

Industrial Unionism is a pamphlet with two local articles on the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.) in New Zealand. The History of the the I.W.W. in New Zealand, written by Peter Steiner, details the activities of the I.W.W. around the turn of the 20th Century, the prominence of the union during the famous 1912 Waihi miners strike, and their decline as a result of the ensuing repression during the Great Strike of 1913. The article also includes information about recent attempts to set up the I.W.W. in Dunedin.

Aim, Form, and Tactics of a Workers’ Union on I.W.W. Lines, by Frank Hanlon, was written in 1913 and has been retrieved from the archives of the Turnbull Library. Despite its age, it clearly sets out the principles of industrial unionism in an easy to read manner, and makes the distinction between industrial unionism and trade unionism altogether clear.

The irregular anarchist journal from deep in the South Pacific makes its 9th and biggest appearance at more than 100 pages and containing articles from fourteen writers. This is the first issue in three years, and marks a substantial shift in format, moving away from a magazine and to something more akin to a journal.

imminent rebellion is an anarchist journal that seeks to provide a space for thoughtful, critical and well-researched writing that illuminates struggles and projects otherwise overlooked in the South Pacific, that delves deeper into the anarchist project, and that seeks to illuminate the operations of Power. It is also a space for creative responses to our contemporary situation — poetry, photography, firsthand accounts.

Issue 12 of imminent rebellion, the (very) irregular anarchist journal from deep in the South Pacific.

This issue includes features on:

• The German prosecution of Somalian ‘pirates’

A History of Vegetarians in Aotearoa New Zealand

Issue 4 took 4 years to digest but I finally managed to crap it out. Here are bits and pieces written in Palestine, Aotearoa, Australia, England and in between. It’s about relapse, recovery, being back on meds, and the surreal dreams they cause.
