What Every Radical Should Know About State Repression - A Guide for Activists (Paperback)

A classic expose of political repression in Czarist Russia which will be chillingly familiar to activists today. This is a timely publication of the work of an anarchist and socialist humanist writer in a time of growing global activism. There has been a revival of interest in Serge since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The relevance of his writings today is drawn out by U.S. civil liberties lawyer and Arab-American community activist Dalia Hashad. Serge's expose of the methods of surveillance and harassment of political activists by the Czarist police reads like a spy thriller. But as Dalia Hashad points out in her introduction, this book will have a resonance with political activists today who face a new wave of repression under the Patriot Act and racial profiling in the name of the war on terror.
