No bosses here: A manual on working collectively and cooperatively by Karen Brandow
My review
This book was published in 1981 but activists today would do well to read it. It touches on many aspects of working in collectives, cooperatives, and other non-hierarchical arrangements, from bookkeeping to running effective meetings, to dealing with feelings and working against power and privilege. It's a quick read, well-organized and full of useful examples from collectives around the US. I think it's appropriate I finished reading it on May Day!
