Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choice of texts for the anthology reflects Richardson (Oriental and African studies, U. of London) and Fijalkowsky's (visual culture and art history, U. of East Anglia) desire to highlight the essence of surrealism as a collective idea whose very rationale is founded in the implications that emerge from any attempt at thinking together. They arrange documents in sections on historical orientation, revolutionary politics, the security of the spirit, and declarations on colonialism. Distributed in the US by Stylus Publishing.
