The Blast was an anarchist newspaper published by Alexander Berkman from 1916 through 1917. Conceived of by Berkman more as "revolutionary labor paper" than a strictly anarchist paper, it focused on California and the national labor movement. When Berkman left his position as editor of Mother Earth, he moved to San Francisco and began work on his own publishing project. The magazine lasted 29 issues, and covered subjects such as Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger's arrests for birth-control advocacy, Pancho Villa, and the trial of labor agitators Tom Mooney and Warren Billings. The magazine was shut down in June of 1917 when Berkman was arrested for encouraging resistance to the draft. In 2005, all 29 issues of The Blast were re-published in book form by AK Press.
