How Not to Be Governed (eBook, ePUB)

Readings and Interpretations from a Critical Anarchist Left
Redaktion: Martel, James; Klausen, Jimmy Casas

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

How Not to Be Governed explores the contemporary debates and questions concerning anarchism in our own time. The authors address the political failures of earlier practices of anarchism, and the claim that anarchism is impracticable, by examining the anarchisms that have been theorized and practiced in the midst of these supposed failures. The authors revive the possibility of anarchism even as they examine it with a critical lens. Rather than breaking with prior anarchist practices, this volume reveals the central values and tactics of anarchism that remain with us, practiced even in the most unlikely and "impossible" contexts.
