Queer UltraViolence Bash Back! Anthology

Through collections of essays, communiques, narratives, images, and interviews, this anthology hopes to account for what Bash Back! was and what happened to it. The editors have included a number of actions, theories, and other essays that were not explicitly or implicitly related to Bash Back! as a name.

The essays part of this anthology is indicative of the many theories that both birthed Bash Back! and ones ultimately shat from its corpse. The writings speak for themselves. They represent hard-line separatists and negation-obsessed whores. Some of the essays are accurate expressions of what most of Bash Back! collectively understood. Others illuminate the divides between comrades as a way to overcome our differences and push for a new queer disorder. For better or worse, there are writings that intentionally draw lines within the tendency and post-Bash Back! sects. To grasp Bash Back! in its totality, it is imperative to comprehend all of these ideas.

The communiques provide a healthy portion of what Bash Back! conveyed to the world and to each other, via actions or ideas and were distributed online. To specify, and tell the complete story, we have further broken down this part into the following nine subsections.
