Title: The Deprived and Depraved
Description: >LeMar’s 2015 book of Black anarchist theory/practice/philosophy does not forget that in order to confront this society one must start with one’s own self. It moves through self-deprogramming of social conditioning which surrenders power to authorities, hierarchy, and capitalism at the expense of our own empowerment, singularly and collectively, to concrete examples of applying theory and practice in the Lathrop Homes and Chicago school occupations during the Occupy movement. He participated in opening autonomous spaces in neighborhoods neglected and rejected by both the ruling class and its authorities and white anti-authoritarians that cling to complacent familiar milieus. This is an inspiring reading that overlaps with prison abolition and prisoner support, worker and poor unemployed solidarity, Black liberation and anarchism, neighborhood self organization, and more.
