Kropotkin Archive

[Potemkin]

Greetings,

I apologize if this is inappropriate, but thought I'd use this thread to draw attention to a project that I've been working on for a while. Currently, it's an archive of many of Peter Kropotkin's works -- over 80 at this point.

The idea is to eventually have a comprehensive list of his works on one site, since I had to search a bunch of different sites to find the stuff that I wanted when I was learning about him originally. Also, I'm trying to put them into chronological order, putting them back into context so the user can trace the evolution of his thought.

The hope is for the project to eventually expand to other anarchist-communist thinkers, with a specialty in the more obscure, such as Joseph Dejacque.

If anyone has any English translations of Joseph Dejacque's political writings, I would love to put it on the site.

Anyway, here it is: http://archive.thenuclearsummer.com

Sweet. Nice job, comrade

Is everything you have up there already in the library on LibCom.org? If not, you should add it.

Good to see another fan of Dejacque too :)

Dejacque is entirely unappreciated. My chief reference to him comes in illustrating the intellectually bankrupt origins of right "libertarianism," and the manner in which legitimate libertarians organized long before the propertarian strand broke out, since the first recorded use of the term in print is apparently his.

[Anarchia]

There's a great letter from him to Proudhon in Robert Graham's edited collection Anarchism: A Documentary History Of Libertarian Ideas—Volume One: From Anarchy To Anarchism (300CE to 1939), where he critiques Proudhon's sexism.

I don't speak French, so what I've read from Dejacque is fairly limited, but he certainly seems to have been way ahead of his time in so many facets of his politics. If there was ever an anarchist that deserves to have more of their work translated, it is surely him.

Great job.

the hyperlinked text is really hard to read on that background...

I like the color scheme.

I like it! Actually I just downloaded the audiobook version of Conquest of Bread from Librivox (http://librivox.org/the-conquest-of-bread-by-peter-kropotkin/) and was listening to it last night (the guy that was reading it has a difficult accent to understand). If you want those quickly converted to HTML too, don't forget that google can render PDFs as HTML or if you'd like I PM me and I could convert them for you when I find time, although it would take longer. It would certainly save you in bandwidth and the PDFs seem to take forever to load.:thumbup1:

I actually bought the book a week ago because i couldn't find it online. Damn.
