Join Ed Emery and Agit Press for a discussion on Ed’s history and activity in the revolutionary communist movement, his role in the international diffusion of autonomist Marxism, and what these lessons may hold for today’s militants.

**About the book: **

Including extensive archival material alongside never before published texts, Letters To A Future Republic is the first collected volume of the writing of Ed Emery, an incredibly important, albeit somewhat subterranean link in the transnational diffusion of autonomist Marxism.

This volume contains selections from across Ed's Red Notes series assessing class struggle in Italy, Britain and further afield between 1969-1981; his translation work (and troubled relationship) with the playwrights Dario Fo and Franca Rame; his photographic travel diary across Jordan and occupied Palestine in 1982; his seminal call to arms No Politics without Inquiry; his obituary to his late friend Toni Negri; recipes for fish stew, marmalade, a spaghetti dish and much more beside. His personal writing, collated in this volume under the subtitle Autothapsis (self-burial) will bring readers up to the present day, where Ed is very much still with the struggle.

Much of Ed’s archive is housed at MayDay Rooms and a selection will be on display during the event.
