The Possibility of Radical Bookstores as Print-based Movement Spaces
Abstract
This article examines the history of radical bookstores in the United States and their new trends through Kimberly Kinder's Radical Bookstore: Counterspace for Social Movement (2021). This book was evaluated as exploring the role and meaning of radical bookstores as a "constructive counterspace" as a base for social movements, using interviews with 77 bookstores' owners and various materials, focusing on the keywords of place, text, and activism. Kimberly Kinder's attention includes not only bookstores in the general sense, but also institutions that carry out various social movements with books such as infoshops, libraries, book cafes, and community centers. In other words, radical bookstores referred to in this book are the places where various political movements and communications take place through books, along with the transaction of books. It seeks a new connection among the bookstore space, books and social movements, and asks the question of how a "print-oriented counterspace as a repertoire of social movements" could be possible. The rich examples mentioned in this book are empirical answers to this question.
