Zine: The Evolution of Identity Politics: An Interview with Eric Ward

Eric K. Ward is currently the executive director of Western States Center. Western States Center’s mission is to connect and build the power of community organizations to challenge and transform individuals, organizations and systems to achieve racial, gender and economic justice. Ward recently went on a speaking tour on “How Anti- Semitism Animates White Nationalism.” Tohuvabohu felt it necessary to reprint this interview  between Tikkun Magazine and Eric Ward, because of the prevalence of identity politics within  leftist discourse and spaces that ignores the nuance that makes up our very existence.

“Ever since his childhood as an African American male, Eric has been a civil rights activist and strategist. He spent 1990 – 2010 working with communities across the United States to counter social movements seeking to use bigotry and hate violence to undermine democratic society. Before joining Western States Center, Eric was the Program Officer overseeing racial justice and civil rights for the Ford Foundation. He was interviewed at our Tikkun office in Berkeley during a brief visit he made to the SF Bay Area. This interview appears in the Winter/Spring 2018 issue of Tikkun magazine.”

A zine  version will appear shortly….

For now, here is the PDF version: ward-interview

Zine: A Jewish Anarchist Refutation of the Hammer and Sickle

Some Jews just released a zine on why anti-fascists should not work with, tolerate, or trust statist-Communists. This is from Some Jews

 

The list is endless and, therefore, this zine is not complete. The examples of totalitarianism and fascist sympathies of the Bolsheviks, we feel, are more than sufficient. We write in hopes that this information will demonstrate to anti-fascists the importance of refusing to tolerate the presence of statist-Communists in our movement, no matter their specific affiliation

Jewish sci-fi Zine: Tohuvabohu: Chaos and Desolation//Anarchy and Yiddish

From the forward

The intentions of compiling this zine is solely to foster a modern Jewish anarchism. We feel that it is important to, both, create a body of non-fiction and analysis from a Jewish-anarchist lens, and a body of fiction that supports those analyses while fostering those ideals. Jewish anarchy, just like the vastness of the world’s Jewry, is vast and diverse. We hold true to our hearts the anarchy of our past, our fight against statelessness, and the fight against fascism and supremacy. We feel that it is in our best interest to remember the past and to look to unimaginable futures. In this issue, we print several stories by a modern Jewish anarchist author, Der Meshunediker. Although we do not know much about the author, we feel, that the author’s ideals are inline with our values. What we do know is that the author is a trans, queer, Jewish, anarchists, who wishes for an end to “whiteness,” the society that upholds it, and to the destruction of “Time,” that which constrains our unimaginable.

We hope that in compiling this zine other Jews and Gentiles will seek out Jewish anarchism—not only its rich history—but create its now. As it was said: We dream of a time when we were no longer a dream
