Anarchist Bookfair 2011 at Liberty Hall

The 6th Annual Dublin Anarchist Bookfair is taking place this Saturday (14th May) in Liberty Hall. In previous years, the event has seen visiting speakers as diverse as historian Martha Ackelsberg and former Black Panther turned anarchist Ashanti Alston and this year, once again, it promises to be an interesting event - "a day out of the ordinary", as an old leaflet for a previous year's bookfair stated.

In particular, the "Peripheral Visions" discussion, featuring anarchists from the four "P.I.G.S." countries (that's Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain) is an exciting prospect, offering radical perspectives from four countries going through similar experiences of harsh austerity and uncertain futures.

As well as the talks, there will also be the bookfair itself, with stalls from AK Press, Rebel County Books, the Irish Labour History Society, the Anarchist Federation, Shell to Sea, RAG, the IPSC, the Provisional University, the WSM book service and more.

Visit the Workers Solidarity Movement website for more details on the event or visit the Facebook page. The after-party in O'Byrne's also comes highly recommended.

I'm missing the whole lot, unfortunately, due to the impending disaster of final exams...
