CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FIFTH ESTATE

WINTER 2006-07 ISSUE

The winter issue of Fifth Estate will critically reflect upon contemporary anarchist and radical anti-authoritarian political movements. What directions should radicals – who wish to both create a revolution in our everyday lives, as well as to destroy the various and overlapping systems of oppression – take in our current political situation? We welcome theoretical, historical and practical pieces on political and cultural issues.

Articles provisionally slated to appear include a critique of precarity from a US perspective; a critical look at the nexis of vulgar anti-imperialism, anti-americanism and antisemitism; the politics and aesthetics of radical marching bands; Colombian anarchists in New York City; and the current state of radical sexual and gender politics.

Theoretical articles should be written for a non-specialist audience. Assume that your readers are smart and well-read but not necessarily familar with any specific terms, discourses, or concepts you introduce.

We encourage submissions which address topics that are usually ignored in anti-authoritarian publications. Please send inquires first if you haven't written the piece.

Deadline is November 1, 2006.
Please send inquiries and submissions to: fe@fifthestate.org
