Talk:Ramsey Kanaan

Radge?

"His youngest brother (Alistair Kanaan) is one of the world's smallest radges."

What exactly is a radge?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.142.132.252 (talk • contribs) 2006-01-22T16:08:39

According to this site, its an angry or devious person, and used to describe some kind of performance poetry. How anyone can be "the world's smallest" radge, is beyond me. AnAn 12:06, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Name?

When I knew him, he called himself Ramzi, and claimed to be Lebanese. And Kanaan is hardly a Scottish name . . . RolandR (talk) 16:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

He is a rich businessman - here is a more accurate version that got removed

Ramsey Kanaan is a Scottish-Lebanese businessman living in the United States, the co-founder of the publishing and distribution company AK Press.

In the 1970s and 1980s, he was involved in the early UK anarcho-punk musical scene, which featured bands including Crass, Conflict, Poison Girls, Rudimentary Peni, The Mob, Zounds, Omega Tribe and Flux of Pink Indians. He sang with Political Asylum and played in the Edinburgh anarcho-punk band Oi Polloi.

Politically an anarchist, he was involved in the early 1990s in the movement against the poll tax in Britain, when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister.

He currently resides in Oakland, California where in 2007 he set up a second company, the radical PM Press, also in the publishing sector. He works at Bound Together Books in San Francisco, a collectively-run anarchist bookstore which is an important outlet for his company's products. He is also an alternate host for Against the Grain, the radio program broadcast on Pacifica Radio's KPFA. He belongs to Folk This [1], a musical group which performs folk songs from the past, including from the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, and the Paris Commune, and hymns and anthems of the Industrial Workers of the World. He is the founder of the Peter Kropotkin Lonely Hearts Club.

He is the brother of businessman Alistair Kanaan, a night-club impresario in Bogotá, Colombia, and also of Richard Kanaan, a neuroscientist at the Institute of Psychiatry in London. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.237.105 (talk • contribs) 2008-07-25T01:50:52
