The Humboldt Anarchist Bookfair (1611 Peninsula Dr, Manila, CA) on Saturday
December 14th features a full day of workshops on a variety of topics,
guest speakers, and great deals on independent and hard-to-find books and
zines. Bring your kids to play at the Kid’s Corner and enjoy some delicious

the world a more revolutionary place.

The 6th Humboldt Anarchist Bookfair on Saturday December 14th is Saturday,
10am to 6pm! Here’s a peek of some of the authors who will be speaking at
this awesome event:

*Iain Boal* is author of *West of Eden: Communes and Utopia in Northern
California,” a book that explores the deep historical roots of collective
life on rural communes of Mendocino and Sonoma, as well as communal
households of the Black Panthers in Oakland, and the Native American
occupation of Alcatraz

*James Davis* is an Irish writer and film maker based in California. He is
co-author of “Catastrophism,” a book that explores the politics of
apocalypse on the left and right—and examines why the lens of catastrophe
can distort our understanding of the dynamics at the heart of these
numerous disasters—and fatally impede our ability to transform the world.
His documentary films include Meeting Room, Safety Orange, and Autonomy and
a Song.

*Peter McCoy* is co-founder of Radical
Mycology,
a movement and social philosophy based on accessibly teaching the
importance of *mushrooms* and other *fungi* for *personal, societal, and
ecological **health.*

Radical Mycology is based on the belief that the *lifecycles of fungi and
their interactions in nature serve as powerful learning tools *for how
humans can best relate to each other and steward the world they live in.
