About this project
The Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS) wants to publish a series of pamphlets--some two to three dozen over time--exploring commonly used terms, in the interests of developing a common "lexicon" among those within the radical Left. Inspired by the emerging occupy movement, but not exclusive to it, the IAS hopes that these pamphlets will be widely distributed and accessible to people who are newly approaching "politics from below." Each pamphlet will include a short essay by a contemporary radical leftist author defining concepts such as capitalism, white supremacy, worker self-management, patriarchy, the state, class, solidarity, and many others.The first four in the IAS Lexicon series (because they are ready to go!), and the focus of this $2,400 Kickstarter campaign, are:
"Power" by Todd May
"Colonialism" by Maia Ramnath
"Anarchism" by Cindy Milstein
"Gender" by Jamie Heckert
More terms and thus pamphlets are in the works!

The Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS), a nonprofit foundation established in 1996 to support the development of anarchism, is a grant-giving organization for radical writers and translators worldwide. To date, we have funded some sixty projects by authors from countries around the world, including Argentina, Lebanon, Canada, Chile, Ireland, Nigeria, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. We also publish the online journal Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, organize the annual Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference, and offer the Mutual Aid Speakers List. The IAS is part of a larger movement to radically transform society as well. We are internally democratic and work in solidarity with people around the globe who share our values.
