Anarcho-Syndicalist Review (also known asASR, formerly theLibertarian Labor Review[1]) is an Americananarchist magazine published multiple times per year that focuses onanarcho-syndicalist theory and practice.[2] It is headquartered inPhiladelphia.
The magazine was co-founded in 1986 bySam Dolgoff, and the first issue was published on May 1, 1986.[2] The first 24 issues were published asLibertarian Labor Review in the United States.[3] The editors decided to rename the magazine toAnarcho-Syndicalist Review for the 25th edition in order to avoid confusion withright-libertarian views.[4]ASR is an independent publication unaffiliated with any organizations and distributed byAK Press.[5][6] The headquarters is inPhiladelphia.[2]
ASR publications largely consist of news reports, essays, editorials, and articles; letters, and reviews.[7] The magazine's website includes complete listings of contents for all issues since their first publication, and some contents are available through the site's archive.
Frequently discussed topics in theAnarcho-Syndicalist Review includeanarchist history,anarchist economics,worker's unions,environmentalism, international news,antifascism, andracial justice.[7] Over time, the publication has developed a standard format for each magazine. Each issue begins with editorial essays, union news, and international anarchist news, sections that became standard for the magazine in 1999 after the publication's name change.[8] When necessary,ASR includes obituaries for anarcho-syndicalists that have passed since their previous issue. The first of these appeared in Issue 8 of Winter 1990, which included obituaries for Esther Dolgoff, Minnie Corder, andJosé Peirats.[4] The magazines also include book reviews on subjects relevant to the scope of anarcho-syndicalism.[7]
