Around 120 people, from seasoned anarchist militants and trade unionists to students and professors came together at Wits University in Johannesburg on Wednesday 7 October 2009 for the launch of “Black Flame: The revolutionary class politics of anarchism and syndicalism”, the first of a two volume series on anarchist history and theory by Lucien van der Walt and Michael Schmidt. The room was filled up so fast and so quickly that latecomers had to find space on the stairs - one of the biggest launches at the university in years. [Nederlands] Report on the Johannesburg launch of Black FlameAround 120 people, from seasoned anarchist militants and trade unionists to students and professors came together at Wits University in Johannesburg on Wednesday 7 October 2009 for the launch of “Black Flame: The revolutionary class politics of anarchism and syndicalism”, the first of a two volume series on anarchist history and theory by Lucien van der Walt and Michael Schmidt. The room was filled up so fast and so quickly that latecomers had to find space on the stairs - one of the biggest launches at the university in years.
It was hosted by the Johannesburg Amandla! collective, a broad left group, along with the Sociology department. Following an introduction by the hosts, there were presentations from both authors on what they hoped to achieve in publishing the book and a brief history of anarchism and some of its notable achievements. As noted by the authors, "Black Flame" has already received much publicity, including a positive mention at the recent Congress of South African Trade Unions congress by Cosatu general-secretary Zweli Vavi. Its outlook is internationalist and global; its aim is to recover the "proletarian practice" of anarchism and syndicalism. |
