Ron Sakolsky recently moved to Denman Island, BC.  A co-founder of Black 
Liberation Radio (now Human Rights Radio), Ron is the co-editor of a number of 
important anthologies: "Gone To Croatan: Origins of North American Drop Out 
Culture" (Autonomedia), "Seizing The Airwaves: A Free Radio Handbook" (AK 
Press), and "Sounding Off!: Music As Subversion/Resistance/Revolution" 
(Autonomedia). He was also a contributor to a special issue of "Race Traitor" 
-- "Surrealism: Revolution Against Whiteness" -- the first detailed 
examination of surrealism's race politics, from 1924 on, focusing on the 
movement's fundamentally anti-Eurocentric outlook, its multiracial 
composition, and its many and growing contributions to the struggle against 
white supremacy.

Join Ron at KSW for a discussion of the surrealist movement in the United 
States, its historical development, and its current cultural/political 
activities.
  

"To the fellow anarchists and like-minded revolutionary dreamers, and most 
especially to the gender-bending ?zine-wielding animal-rights Earth First! 
monkeywrenching billboard-revising Zapatista punk hip-hop Critical Mass prison 
abolitionist copwatch computer-hacking race-traitor Crimethinkers micro-radio 
underground -- in other words, to the young rebels of all ages who?have been 
creating vital outposts of resistance, revolt and revolution around the 
world."
