"The texts that make up postcolonial print cultures are often found outside the archival catalogue, and in lesser-examined repositories such as personal collections, the streets, or appendages to established collections. This volume examines the published and unpublished writing, magazines, pamphlets, paratexts, advertisements, cartoons, radio, and street art that serve as the intellectual forces behind opposition to colonial orders, as meditations on the futures of embryonic nation states, and as visions of new forms of equality. The print cultures examined here are necessarily anti-institutional; they serve as a counterpoint to the colonial archive and, relatedly, to more traditional genres and text formats coming out of large-scale publishers. This means that much of the primary material analyzed in this book has not been scrutinized before. Many of these print productions articulate collective liberation projects with origins in the grassroots. They include debates around the shape of the postcolonial nation and the new state formation that necessarily draw on a diverse and contentious public sphere of opinion. Their rhetoric ranges from the reformist to the revolutionary. Reflecting the diversity, indeed the disorderliness, of postcolonial print cultures this book covers local, national, and transnational cultures from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Its wide-ranging essays offer a nuanced and, taken together, a definitive (though that is not to say comprehensive or systematic) study of a global phenomenon: postcolonial print cultures as a distinct literary field. The chapters recover the efforts of writers, readers and publishers to produce a postcolonialism 'from below', and thereby offer a range of fresh perspectives on the meaning and history of postcolonialism"--

"Anarchist collectives and associations have a long and robust history of independent publications and journals. Letterpress Revolution explores the radical print history of anarchism in the US and England from the late-19th century to the present to show how anarchist print culture has thrived through a combination of media technology, epistolary relations, and radical scholarship. Kathy Ferguson tells the story of anarchist presses, often located centrally in the homes, offices, and community centers of anarchist movement and run by everyone from professional union printers laboring in their off hours to lay artists and craftspeople learning new skills. These presses created what Ferguson calls a "fugitive public" that produced anarchist knowledge outside of formal educational institutions. Although anarchists are politically committed to dispersed and independent collectives, Ferguson argues that anarchist print culture has created an assemblage of dynamic and entangled networks that brings the movement together. Finally, Ferguson considers contemporary letterpress printers and other anarchist formations around material and intersectional politics that continue today-including Food Not Bombs, Protect Maunakea ʻOhana, and the feminist bookstore movement-which, she argues, strengthens anarchist theory by incorporating thing power and a critical analysis of anti-Blackness into anarchist politics"--
