The memoirs of Jewish anarchist labor organizer Chaim Weinberg are now available in English. Recorded from oral testimony in 1930 and published in Yiddish in 1952, these are the recollections of an old fighter, spoken from memory. They are folkloric rather than scholarly, humorous, and entirely about common workers' defense of their own humanity. Weinberg was an anarchist-communist who devoted half a century to union movements, the establishment of collective stores and communities, and the fight against organized religion.

Cher/es ami/es,

Autour de notre numéro, Les gauches en Égypte au XIXe et XXe siècle, nous vous invitons à une amicale rencontre-débat dans le cadre de la belle librairie Avicenne, rue des Fossés saint Bernard, Paris 5e, le vendredi 26 juin à 18H30.

Venez nombreux échanger autour de cette passionnante construction politique, faite d'échanges entre Europe et monde arabe, entre anarchisme et socialisme, entre communisme et réformisme, entre colonialisme et nationalisme, dont l'histoire résonne bien sûr fort aujourd'hui.
