The 1964 premier issue of the self-published journal of the Resurgence Youth Movement, the Situationist-inspired anarchist movement organized by then high school students.

Published from 1964–1967, Resurgence was the organ of the Resurgence Youth Movement (RYM), a youth-oriented anarchist group out of New York’s Lower East Side. RYM was founded by Jonathan Leake, then still a high school student, and Walter Caughey following lectures given by Sam Dolgoff, Russ Blackwell, and other anarchists at meetings of the LibertarianLeague in New York in the early 1960s.

Blending radical surrealist influences with the international anarchist politics of the 1960s, the magazine is remarkable for its production quality and erudite perspectives despite the publishers’ youth
