The Sparrows' Nest is pleased to announce a talk by Iain McKay, editor of The Anarchist FAQ, related to the new Freedom Press edition of Kropotkin's masterpiece Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution. Published in 1902, the book provided detailed evidence of cooperation at the heart of the natural world. Iain is visiting Nottingham to present the background and relevance today of Mutual Aid, to be followed by discussion. Date/Time: Saturday 9th May, 3.00pm
Kropotkin was a prominent russian anarchist in the late 19th early 20th century who popularised anarchist thought. His work remains essential reading today to all those with an interest in anarchist ideas and action.
"Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid is usually, and rightly, called his masterpiece. While the high quality of all his work makes it hard to say whether this classic can be considered his best, it is fair to say that it is probably his most famous and one of his most widely read. Suffice to say, that it is rarely out of print testifies to its importance as well as the quality and timelessness of its message".
This special events takes place at The Sparrows' Nest house, St Ann's, Nottingham on
Saturday 9th May 2009. The talk will begin at 3pm.
