The Abolition of Work

A reply to, and an assault on, Murray Bookchin's 'Social Anarchism Or Lifestyle Anarchism, ' Bookchin himself, Bookchinism, and so called 'anarcho-leftism.'

Anarchy After Leftism

Abolition of Work

Mais um livro da coleção Baderna - a arte da subversão para as novas gerações. Em Groucho Marxismo, um anarquista faz piadas com o idealismo. Bob Black nos lembra que, se a revolução não servir para dançar e rir, não será nossa revolução. Hoje, diante do esforço da esquerda em se mostrar 'responsável', digna de ser aceita nos grandes salões da sociedade, até mesmo o direitista mais nerd tira um sarro disso. Com humor, faz críticas muitas vezes mais profundas do que textos acadêmicos seriam capazes. Críticas às convicções alheias e às próprias.

The first in-depth exploration, from within , of the rapidly growing cultural phenomenon which received its name from the author Bob Black:the marginals milieu.'

The Abolition of Work, Primitive Affluence

Roland White’s long career has taken him from membership in Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys and Lester Flatt’s Nashville Grass to success with his own Roland White Band. A master of the mandolin and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, White has mentored a host of bluegrass musicians and inspired countless others. Bob Black draws on extensive interviews with White and his peers and friends to provide the first in-depth biography of the pioneering bluegrass figure. Born into a musical family, White found early success with the Kentucky Colonels during the 1960s folk revival. The many stops and collaborations that marked White's subsequent musical journey trace the history of modern bluegrass. But Black also delves into the seldom-told tale of White's life as a working musician, one who endured professional and music industry ups-and-downs to become a legendary artist and beloved teacher. An entertaining merger of memories and music history, Mandolin Man tells the overdue story of a bluegrass icon and his times.
