This issue of Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies considers the anarchist milieu in the ten years since the attacks of September 11th, 2001 (hereafter "9/11"). A host of obvious questions accompany an attempt to encapsulate an event such as 9/11 and the ten years that followed, foremost among them: Why situate 9/11 as a date of exceptional importance? Does a reflection of this kind merely contribute to, for example, neoconservative attempts to enshrine 9/11 as a propagandistic tool? Memorialization often carries reactionary politics, whether intentional or not.

This edition of this long-standing bastion of the post-left includes some surprising entries, including a review of a book I never thought of in relation to anarchy, Hustlers, Beats, and Others (now updated) by Ned Polsky, a personal favorite of mine when I read it 20 years ago.
