Why another book about anarchism? Dinosaurs! We of the Curious George Brigade have written this book purposely not as yet another manifesto, or as a boring book of dead anarchist history. In fact, we wrote this book to be a breath of fresh air, a testament to living anarchy. We declare on the first page to forget the Spanish Civil War and continue our attack on tradition, anarchist or otherwise, from on full-throttle from there. Anarchy, at least in the pages of books, is suffering from far too many heavy-handed historians and self-righteous theorists. To break this mold, this book focuses on living examples of anarchy. We wrote this book because whats going on today is more important than what happened several decades ago or some far off utopian scheme for the future. Unlike some anarchists, we havent given up hope…all around us are anarchists brimming over with hope for change. The beauty of it is that anarchists are doing it themselves, changing the world.

Anarchy In the Age of Dinosaurs Part 5: -The Abolition of Outreach This is a very important section. Race is an essential aspect of State oppression and a bulwark of exploitative capitalism. No genuine challenge to the State OR Capitalism in the U.S. can fail to ignore racism’s importance in maintaining the current system and neither should we anarchists. This section discusses at length how mostly-white anarchist collectives employ exploitative tokenism and extensive outreach programs aimed at the recruitment of people of color, in particular black people. These actions and other failed holdovers from the Left have not made anarchist communities in the U.S. a welcome place for blacks. This issue is much less common in other countries and anarchist communities around the world, since the majority of anarchists world-wide ARE people of color! We must be transparent and participate in shared activities taking place in ALL communities and create new ways of thinking about race in our anarchist communities in order to stop the paternalistic behavior that we have worked with for so long.
