Elisée Reclus, Correspondance

Près d'un siècle après sa publication de 1911 à 1925, la correspondance du géographe anarchiste Elisée Reclus vient d'être réimprimée. Sa place est, bien sûr, dans toutes les bibliothèques libertaires, étant donné la qualité de son auteur mais aussi celle d'une vie qui fut à la fois exemplaire de la naissance à la mort mais aussi bien aventureuse.

Il va de soi que la lecture de cette correspondance ne sera bien comprise qu'après une bonne fréquentation d'une biographie du personnage. Il en existe plusieurs, dont certaines sont toujours chez les bons libraires.

Pennsylvania Labor History

The next Pennsylvania Labor History Workshop is scheduled for December 11th at the Eckley Miners' Village. Two papers will be distributed in advance to the workshop participants and we will spend about an hour discussing each paper. Afterward the workshop participants will have an opportunity to take part in a guided tour of the historic Eckley Miners' Village and have lunch together if they choose. A second workshop will be held in April 2011, specific date and location to be announced later.
