Ardent Press - Anarchist and anti-political books Ardent Press is part of an effort to revitalize print publishing. We miss a time when new and challenging ideas were part and parcel of anarchist publishing, and when ideas, even disagreeable ones, were up for discussion and contemplation.

Ardent publishes books and pamphlets that confront and challenge our assumptions about this social order and the transformation of the world. Read More |
