So you've decided to write a paper on anarchy or
some famous anarchist, what do you do? Well, this page is designed to
help students on all levels find information on anarchism and anarchists.
We can't quite write your paper for you, which we wouldn't want to do
because we believe in the importance of learning, but we can help you
with your quest to survive the world of "education." We hope that you
learn a thing or two about anarchism, which we find endlessly fascinating.
Basic Sources
One of the best places to start, if you are looking for a basic overview of
the history of anarchism is, surprisingly, the Encylopedia Brittanica.
This overview
of anarchism was written for the Encylopedia by Peter Kroptokin, a
famous anarchist who lived at the turn of the century. His essay still
remains one of the best, concise overviews of what anarchy is.
If you are collecting materials for your research, make sure that you
request help from the librarian at your school, public,
or university library. They can help you find books and articles and may
know about other resources that might be helpful.
If you are looking for books in the stacks of a university library, the
books on anarchy can mostly be found in the HX 800 - 1000
section. Be aware though, that some materials may be shelved in other
parts of the library. The best way to find these materials is to do a
search on the library's online catalog.
General Overviews
One of the best current overviews of current anarchism is the Anarchist
FAQ web site. Much of it may seem too theoretical, but there is alot
of useful information there. The FAQ answers such questions as:
Notable Anarchists
- Anarchists and
Left-Libertarians
- Biographies and pictures of famous anarchists and left-libertarians
like Goldman, Chomsky, Bakunin and Kropotkin.
Research Sources for University Students
- Please stop by the IAU's research section for
help with those tough research questions.
