Anarchy (magazine)
Anarchy was an anarchist monthly magazine which was produced from March 1961 until December 1970. It was founded and edited by anarchist Colin Ward, and was published by Freedom Press in London.
David Goodway observed in his book Anarchist Seeds Beneath the Snow that Ward urged the case to his fellow editors for a 'more reflective' Freedom, to which they eventually responded 'by giving him his head with the monthly Anarchy from March 1961'. The magazine included articles on anarchism and reflections on current events from an anarchist perspective, e.g. workers' control, criminology and squatting. It published contributions from established authors such as Marie Louise Berneri, Murray Bookchin, Stanley Cohen, Paul Goodman, George Woodcock and Nicholas Walter. From issue six onwards, graphic designer and illustrator Rufus Segar became the resident art director of the magazine. Ward gave him significant freedom in his design of each issue, albeit while working to a tight deadline.
Goodway commended Anarchy's 'simple excellence', which he supported by citing the British Marxist historian and author Raphael Samuel:
A second series of Anarchy was published into the 1980s with an editorship that included, at various times, Charlotte Baggins, Chris Broad and . Freedom Press later published A Decade of Anarchy 1961-1970: Selections from the Monthly Journal Anarchy, which collected writing from the first series.
