Publications

  • A Brief History of the Wooden Shoe Collective, an All-Volunteer Anarchist Infoshop.

    A wonderful oral history of one of the longest continuously running anarchist projects in North America. Fascinating, insightful, instructive, witty... and a great testament to both the ideal, the project itself, and the editor, himself a collective member.

  • Hidden Ballgames: Race and Major League Baseball's Other Histories.

    Self-published

    Beneath the surface of nostalgia of Major League Baseball, the most powerful baseball organization in the world, lurks a different history. It is one of upholding Jim Crow racial segregation for nearly fifty years, and when the color barrier was finally broken, MLB destroyed one of the largest Black institutions in the United States, the Negro Leagues. In addition, MLB has held a colonial attitude to any foreign baseball institutions and has worked to subvert, control, and subordinate baseball leagues outside the United States and Canada for its own interests. Learn all about it here!
