An Anarchist in the Academy, a Sociologist in the Movement: The Life, Activism, and Ideas of Howard J. Ehrlich
Howard J. Ehrlich (1932–2015) was, unabashedly, an anarchist and a sociologist. His life, work, and legacy not only exemplify anarchist sociology but may also qualify him as the very first self-conscious anarchist sociologist in the United States. Ehrlich's life and work was important due to the considerable impact he had upon anarchism and sociology.

Anarchy and Society: Reflections on Anarchist Sociology
Paul Routledge and Andrew Cumbers, Global Justice Networks: Geographies of Transnational Solidarity
Re-Building Infrastructures of Resistance
It is sometimes said that while anti-capitalist and alternative globalization movements are clear on what we do not want, we are less clear on what we do want (socialism, anarchism, specifics). Certainly, recent movements have not been as effective as their predecessors (labor in the 1910s and 1930s; the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s) in sustaining the sorts of practices ‐ intellectual and material ‐ that put into effect aspects of the …

No One Is Illegal: Organizing Beyond Left Nationalism in Fortress North America
One of the key struggles of the current period, one that poses a great challenge to the Left, involves state control of borders and the movement of people. Canadian and US governments, under the co
Scarcity and the Emergence of Fundamentalist Ecology
This article discusses the emergence of fundamentalist environmentalism in the mid-1980s. Fundamentalist versions of ecology, exemplified most notably by the theory of `deep ecology' and the social movement Earth First!, have mistakenly proposed social scarcity as a means to overcome natural scarcity. This confusion has led fundamentalist ecologists away from an analysis of the power relations which underlie social inequality and the destruction …
Judi Bari and 'the feminization of Earth First: The Convergence of Class, Gender and Radical Environmentalism
This paper addresses feminist materialism as political practice through a case study of IWW-Earth First! Local 1, the late Judi Bari's organization of a radical ecology/timber workers’ union in the ancient redwood forests of Northern California. Rejecting the Earth First! mythology of timber workers as ‘enemies’ of nature, Bari sought to unite workers and environmentalists in pursuit of sustainable forestry practices against the devastating appro…

Profiles the development of the project IWW/Earth First Local 1, a group which brought loggers and environmentalists together in an attempt to combine labour and ecology issues. Describes anarchosyndicalist ideas that formed the basis of this alliance, suggesting that these have some merit for present day ecologists. Considers the common ground shared by labour and ecology movements and presents some learnings from the project for future mainstre…
