On March 26th 1871, almost 150 years ago, the Paris Commune council was elected. So we put this edition of Bakunin's The Paris Commune and the Idea of the State into the spotlight as our Document of the Month for March 2021...
Holding tens of thousands of books, journals, pamphlets, zines, leaflets, posters and other archival materials, we focus on the history of anarchist groups and individuals in the UK and beyond, as well as on the history of other social movements, protests and radicalism in Nottingham & Notts and the wider regions of East Midlands & South Yorkshire.
