1984Best.-Nr. 238831984. Mexican agrarian revolution and Indigenous resistance periodical archive 1984 to 1994 tracing the place of Emiliano Zapata and Indigenous political struggles within American anarchist publishing from the Reagan era through the 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas. Two issues of Southern California's A New Iron Column place Mexican revolutionary history and contemporary Indigenous activism within an international anti-authoritarian program including an issue whose cover memorializes Zapata beneath the slogan "TIERRA Y LIBERTAD" and identifies him as "Heroic Mexican Revolutionary." A decade later the premiere issue of Minneapolis anarchist newspaper The Blast! responds directly to the January 1994 uprising of the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional leading its front page with "ZAPATA'S REVENGE" and "CHIAPAS: A PEOPLE BORN DIGNIFIED & REBELLIOUS." The sequence documents how Zapata's political image the language of land and liberty and struggles over Indigenous autonomy circulated through American anarchist print networks before and immediately after the EZLN brought Chiapas into international radical politics. Contemporary accounts identify the Creative Anarchists Networks behind A New Iron Column as active in Native support work while institutional holdings characterize the periodical as containing material on Indigenous struggles. A New Iron Column and The Blast! Southern California and Minneapolis 1984 to 1994. Three issues illustrated throughout in black and white with The Blast! printed in black and blue. 1 Creative Anarchists. A New Iron Guard later A New Iron Column. No. II. Southern California 1984. Published as "A Black Banner publication of the Creative Anarchists of America." The cover depicts the execution of Catalan educator and freethinker Francisco Ferrer after the Barcelona uprising of July 1909 while the contents range across "Chile's Painful Realities" "The Mohawk Indians" Emma Goldman prison politics antiwar writing children's rights and a letter from the Sigma Anarchist Group of Warsaw. The editors describe their project as addressing "the meaning of Anarchy and the logic for advocating it" alongside historical commentary poetry political comics and international correspondence. 2 Creative Anarchists Networks. A New Iron Column. No. IV. Anaheim California 1985. Cover devoted to Emiliano Zapata 1879 to 1919 with the revolutionary leader and armed campesinos above a volcanic landscape and the large inscription "TIERRA Y LIBERTAD." The issue identifies itself as "A BLACK BANNER PUBLICATION OF THE CREATIVE ANARCHISTS NETWORKS" and surrounds the Zapata image with "WAR CRIMES: EL SALVADOR" "IRA POW CAMPAIGN" "A TRIBAL ACCORD" "TERRORIST CIA MANUAL" "MARION LOCKDOWN" and "ANARCHY AND COMMUNISM." Its contents include "Zapata of Mexico" "Punk and Anarchy in the U.K." "Revolution" "Irish Republican P.O.W. Campaign" "War Crimes In El Salvador" "Terrorist C.I.A. Manual" "Anarchy and Communism" and "A Struggle." A contemporary Fifth Estate notice records that the publication changed its name from New Iron Guard to Iron Column after editors were alerted to the name's association with the Romanian fascist Iron Guard explicitly linking the replacement name to the anarchist Iron Column of the Spanish Revolution. 3 Agitator Index Collective. The Blast! Premiere Issue. Minneapolis Minnesota April/May 1994. Front page dominated by "ZAPATA'S REVENGE" and "CHIAPAS: A PEOPLE BORN DIGNIFIED & REBELLIOUS" alongside articles on the Minnesota Eight anarchism and Black revolution the federal crime bill Twin Cities hip hop and population politics. Inside the paper identifies itself as a nonprofit political newspaper produced by the Agitator Index Collective and carries Kieran Knutson's "The State of Minnesota Vs. The Anti Racist Movement." The Agitator Index Collective belonged to the Love and Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation and The Blast! was founded by former members of the Profane Existence Collective. Its first issue appeared in 1994 with coverage of the Zapatista uprising while subsequent issues continued reporting on the EZLN and Chiapas. A New Iron Column invokes Zapata during the 1980s alongside contemporary Native struggles Central American war political prisoners and international anarchist movements treating the Mexican Revolution as part of a continuing politics of land state power and anti-authoritarian resistance. The 1994 Blast! appeared only months after the EZLN emerged publicly on January 1 in Chiapas where its rebellion centered Indigenous communities and demands concerning land political participation autonomy and the consequences of Mexican state policy. Its headline "ZAPATA'S REVENGE" explicitly joins the contemporary rebellion to the memory of Zapata while "A PEOPLE BORN DIGNIFIED & REBELLIOUS" frames Chiapas through the political agency of its population rather than as a distant revolutionary spectacle. The Blast! continued covering the EZLN after this premiere issue confirming that Chiapas formed part of the newspaper's sustained international reporting rather than a single topical headline. Some toning and handling wear with folds and minor edge wear visible; A New Iron Column issues staple bound The Blast! folded as issued. Overall very good condition. A three issue record of Zapata's political afterlife in United States anarchist publishing moving from 1980s representations of Mexican agrarian revolution and Indigenous resistance to an immediate anarchist response to the Indigenous led Zapatista uprising in Chiapas in 1994. unknown

1852Best.-Nr. 183532Sheffield: 1852. No Vote No Tax A Victorian silver cake basket seized in lieu of taxes. Turquand belonged to the Tax Resistance League TRL and in May 1912 refused to pay her house duty as a protest against women's disenfranchisement. In due course this family heirloom was confiscated by a bailiff. Turquand reclaimed it at auction after giving a speech on the urgency of women's suffrage. Lizzie Emma Turquand 1857-1943 was a member of multiple women's suffrage organizations in addition to the TRL and worked as a secretary and a teacher. She sent a letter to the Income Tax Offices explaining her refusal to pay her taxes which concluded "to force women out of the their earnings to pay salaries to Cabinet Ministers and M.P.'s to legislate for men who through the ballot box command attention and consideration is to me such gross injustice that I offer no apology for my action". The ensuing seizure of the basket was "formal but friendly" and the bailiff acted with "forbearance and politeness" Norwood News p. 5. The TRL seized the opportunity of the auction to promote their cause and on 14 May arrived at the auction house in large numbers bearing banners and placards. Although their presence in the auction room was unexpected the auctioneers dealers and other attendants treated them with good humour. The auctioneer permitted Turquand to give a speech on her decision to resist taxation; her remarks were met with cheers and a chorus of "For she's a jolly good fellow". The usual attendees declined to bid for the basket so that it could be purchased by a fellow member of the TRL. Turquand thanked the auctioneer for his kind manner and commented that similar sales all over the country were being met with the same "courteous treatment and sympathy" Norwood News p. 5. Turquand was reunited with the basket following the auction and continued to resist taxation which resulted in a similar confiscation and demonstration the following year. Items which so vividly represent the efforts of the Tax Resistance League to publicise the mantra "No Vote No Tax" are unusual in both commerce and institutions. The London Museum holds a comparable example: a gold bracelet seized in lieu of tax from the suffragette Edith How-Martyn. Provenance: from the collection of the suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford. Sterling silver bowl with handle 253 x 95 mm by Henry Wilkinson elaborately fluted and embellished in ornate floral design later engravings in the centre "Sold for King's Taxes 1912 Woman Suffrage" and "L. E. Turquand 1913". A few spots of scraping and discolouration residue of polish in grooves of floral design overall bright and clean barely tarnished: in very good condition. "Resisting the King's Taxes" Norwood News May 1912. unknown
