“Twenty-volume folios will never make a revolution. It’s the little pocket pamphlets that are to be feared.” - Voltaire
Veteran radical publishers Past Tense have (re)printed a bunch of seditious literature that should be of interest:
Rights of Common: The Fight Against the Theft of Sydenham Common and One Tree Hill... and other open spaces in the Great North Wood. £3
Makeshift Landscapes - Dennis Hardy and Colin Ward £5
A brief examination of 'plotland' developments in early 20th century Britain - rural settlements, hosting DIY buildings, often on marginal, squatted & disputed land.
Black Women Organising: The Brixton Black Women’s Group and the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent £3.
And a lot more besides - see the full range at https://pasttensehistories.bigcartel.com/
