Since 2011, the Boston Anarchist Bookfair has provided a physical space for anarchism and wider leftist thought, hosting book retailers, vendors, and organizational groups. This year’s fair was held at the Cambridge Community Center on Oct. 19 and 20.
The Bookfair has always been a volunteer effort. Kathy and Matt, who both joined the Boston Anarchist Bookfair collective two years ago, volunteer out of a desire to create space for discourse around anarchist thought. They declined to disclose their last names due to privacy concerns.
“People still want to engage together around ideas,” Kathy said in an interview with The Beacon. “A lot of anarchist ideas are shared on the internet, but it’s so important for people to share a space and have physical literature to inspire each other.”
