Organized Labor: Book: 2017: Terry Tapp: A Serf’s Journal: The Story of the United States’ Longest Wildcat Strike, Zero Books

• In 2017 Zero Books became my favorite book publisher and A Serf’s Journal is one of the reasons why.
  
  
• A great memoir of a wildcat strike I didn’t realize happened, and the loss of memory of this event is addressed by the author at the end.

Anarchism: 2017: Margaret Killjoy: The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion, TOR

• Excellent and short novel about a drifter who visits a town in Idaho in search of answers about her best friend’s death.
• Members of the town had previously summoned a demon, a red three antlered deer, that violently kills anyone who seeks power over others, thereby maintaining the anarchist order.

Antifa: 2017: Mark Bray: Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, Melville House

• An excellent overview of 20th century anti-fascism and current/recent events in North America and Europe
• Also provides a set of arguments in favour of contemporary Antifa contingents, and of their tactics.

Black Metal: 2016: Jorn “Necrobutcher” Stubberud: The Death Archives: Mayhem 1984-94, Ecstatic Peace Library

• Excellent memoir of the earlier years of the Black Metal band Mayhem. From their inception to the time of Euronymous’ murder.
• The book is primarily photographs accompanied by text of stories related to those photos.
• Stubberud’s memoirs of Mayhem’s late singer, Dead, are the book’s most interesting parts. Dead is responsible for much of the look and ideas of Black Metal. Stubberud credits Dead with having written most of the lyrics for their classic album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, and describes Dead as making connections with death that exceed the theatrical.
