This Sunday, March 9th, our co-op has the honor of welcoming historian Kenyon Zimmer for a virtual event on the neglected history of Jewish anarchism in the United States. Last year during the anarchist bookfair, Kenyon presented in-person on the work of Joseph Cohen, who in 1945 published "The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America," an essential Yiddish-language study. Now he returns to continue the conversation with writers Shane Burley ("Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism") and Anna Elena Torres ("With Freedom in Our Ears: Histories of Jewish Anarchism").

Register for this free online event and find a copy of Kenyon's editted and annotated edition of "The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3338-rediscovering-a-history-of-jewish-anarchism.html.
