“In recent years, there has been an upsurge in class struggle anarchism or social anarchism. In these circumstances, there is a need for a clear and more force¬ful theoretical statement of principles, and Black Flame serves as an excellent opening statement of the relevance of class struggles anarchism in a twenty-first century context…this book is an impressive introduction to the history of anarchist theory and anarchist movements.” - Sean Benjamin, Upping the Anti no. 9, Novem¬ber 2009.
“The virtues of Black Flame are without question: it is an outstanding study, and highly recommended to all anarchists! Those who agree with the authors’ defini¬tion of anarchism will rejoice. Those who don’t will be challenged to assess their understanding of anarchism in relation to the syndicalist, anarcho-communist, and platformist traditions.” - Direkte Aktion (no. 196)
“…an important contribution to labour radicalism and the potential for building global worker movements bottom up … a great book!” - International Encyclopedia of Revolution and Protest
“A well-thought out and nuanced study of the intellectual, political, and social his¬tory of anarchism.” - Steven Hirsch, University of Pittsburgh
