Over the years, Black and Green has put out a number of pamphlets, but, for the most part, a lot were cut and paste and subsequently never made into PDFs. Since the Black and Green distro has folded, there isn't a central source for getting all of the most (relatively) recent pamphlets from one source, but Little Black Cart has a good number of them.
     Below are some links to PDFs for B&G pamphlets as well as a few zines that we circulated a lot of and contain some of what we consider to be the most crucial texts to influence contemporary green anarchist/anarcho-primitivist thought.
     Expect more here in the not too distant future.

Anarchy and Ecstasy - John Moore. A primitivist tract on the nature of collective joy and how civilization and religion have undermined it.

- Anonymous & Kevin Tucker. Two essays reflecting on the nature of animal rights and animal liberation in an anti-civilization context.

Arson no. 2 - Australian anti-civ zine that we hold dearly.

Egalitarian Societies - James Woodburn. One of the five most important essays in understanding gatherer-hunter societies and the nature of how egalitarian societies have and do function outside of civilization. Essential reading.

Go Light - An unfortunately short lived, yet vastly important zine reflecting on primal parenting and what we can learn about how gatherer-hunter societies families and parenting worked. A lot of good ideas for rewinding with kids.

Post-Historic Primitivism - Paul Shepard. P. Shep laying it down. This is word mosh at it's best.

Technological Addiction - Chellis Glendinning. Taken from 'My Name is Chellis, and I'm in Recovery from Western Civilization', this essay shatters myths that technology can ever be neutral.

The Original Affluent Society - Marshall Sahlins. This essay turned anthropological understandings of gatherer-hunter societies and the nature of "affluence" when it hit the ground in the 1960s. As long as this society thinks of gatherer-hunter life as "nasty, brutish, and short" this essay will hold it's relevance.
