Cindy Milstein - Anarchism and Its Aspirations - Epub
From nineteenth-century newspaper publishers to the participants in the 'battle of Seattle' and the recent Greek uprising, anarchists have been inspired by the ideal of a free society of free individuals-a world without hierarchy or domination. But what exactly would that look like, and how can we get there? Anarchism and Its Aspirations provides an accessible overview of an often-misunderstood political philosophy, highlighting its principles and practices as well as its reconstructive vision of a liberatory society.
'A brilliant primer of anarchist politics.'
-Matt Hern, author of Common Ground in a Liquid City
'I expect Anarchism and Its Aspirations to become the introduction to anarchism of the next decade.'
-Gabriel Kuhn, editor of Gustav Landauer's Revolution and Other Writings
'A road map to the many social and cultural movements that anarchism has traversed . . . a testimony to its continuing ability to capture the radical imagination.'
-Silvia Federici, author of Caliban and the Witch
'Uncompromising, practical, and hopeful, this book is essential reading for all who are taking on climate change, war, or corporate capitalism.'
-David Solnit, coauthor of The Battle of the Story of the "Battle of Seattle"
