What is this summer’s most radical online project?

*Insurgent Summer*

is an online book reading and cooperative blog discussion of Fredy Perlman’s 1976 book /*Letters of Insurgents*/.

This is a 800+ page book of fictional letters between two Eastern European workers, Yarostan Vochek and Sophia Nachalo, separated by twenty-five years and two continents.

As they reconnect through an exchange of letters, we learn about the battles they have fought – physical, political, emotional, and moral – and eventually the ones they have left tofight.

Your reading of */Letters/* will begin on *June 11, 2010*, with the first of the ten exchanges between Yarostan and Sophia.

Each week, three “Guides”  (DeAnna, Artnoose, and Andrej) will post discussion pieces, reflections and analysis, preparing the terrain for an engaging discussion to which everyone is invited!

We will conclude on August 20, in honor of Fredy Perlman’s birthday!

Though copies of the book are limited, we are happy announce that we have both audio and full-text downloads of*/Letters of Insurgents/* available.
