Brill Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Postcolonial World, 1870-1940: The Praxis of National Liberation, Internationalism, and Social Revolution
Book SynopsisNarratives of anarchist and syndicalist history during the era of the first globalization and imperialism (1870-1930) have overwhelmingly been constructed around a Western European tradition centered on discrete national cases. This parochial perspective typically ignores transnational connections and the contemporaneous existence of large and influential libertarian movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Yet anarchism and syndicalism, from their very inception at the First International, were conceived and developed as international movements. By focusing on the neglected cases of the colonial and postcolonial world, this volume underscores the worldwide dimension of these movements and their centrality in anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles. Drawing on in-depth historical analyses of the ideology, structure, and praxis of anarchism/syndicalism, it also provides fresh perspectives and lessons for those interested in understanding their resurgence today. Contributors are Luigi Biondi, Arif Dirlik, Anthony Gorman, Steven Hirsch, Dongyoun Hwang, Geoffroy de Laforcade, Emmet O'Connor, Kirk Shaffer, Aleksandr Shubin, Edilene Toledo, and Lucien van der Walt. With a foreword by Benedict Anderson.Trade Review"This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in a nuanced history of left-wing politics, radical labor and social movements [...] scholarly [...] but [...] accessible [...]." - Alex Bradshaw, in: FORsooth (published by the Louisville chapter of the Fellowship of Reconciliation), Volume 25, number 4 (May 2014), pp. 3, 7 “[…] a ground-breaking work [...] the collection is remarkable […] the chapters [...] are compelling [...] one might mention the sheer sense of discovery with which they overwhelm the reader [...]. All in all, the collection is remarkable [...]. The essays they have gathered and carefully knitted together fill a major gap in the historiography and form an impressive and challenging scholarly achievement.” - Yann Béliard, Université Paris 3- Sorbonne Nouvelle, in: Labour / Le Travail “The chapters develop a powerful sense of anarchism and syndicalism as global political forces, and on the whole this results in a very tightly edited and argued collection defined by excellent, committed scholarship.” - David Featherstone, University of Glasgow, UK, in: Journal of Global History "[...] [I]t is a valuable contribution. [...] [T]his is a readable, important addition to your local library." - Milan Rai, in: Peace News, Vol. 2550 (October 2012), p. 14 “[…] Hirsch and Van Der Walt’s collection is a salutary reminder of a time when a plurality of international anarchist, socialist and syndicalist initiatives broke out of narrow confines of national politics to challenge, colonialism and racism alike. It is a vital repository of revolutionary thought and practice…” - Bryan Palmer, Trent University, in: New Left Review, Vol. 77 (sept oct 2012), pp. 151-160 "[…] difficult for serious scholars to ignore this volume. […] This important book discusses anarchist and syndicalist movements in Argentina, Brazil, China, Cuba, Egypt, Ireland, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, South Africa and the Ukraine in the period leading up to World War II." - Jon Bekken, in: Anarcho-Syndacalist Review, No. 60 (Summer 2013), 35-37 "[...] [T]he book investigates how anarchists and syndicalists engaged with imperialism, anti-colonial movements ‘and the national question’. Although this is an academic text, grassroots activists will find it useful too. The book offers deep insights into society and history, and it highlights relevant historical experiences that could benefit social movements worldwide." - Mandisi Majavu, in: Journal of Asian and African Studies Vol. 47, No. 122 (2012), pp. 122-124 "Let’s be clear about one thing – this book is an academic masterpiece." - Constance Bantman, in: Anarchist Studies Vol. 20 No. 1 (2012), pp. 106-108 "This groundbreaking volume on anarchism and syndicalism in the colonial and postcolonial world sheds new light on hitherto neglected historical – yet ever more useful – anti-colonial movements that reverberate with today’s growing resistance towards transnational corporate powers. [...] [T]his volume is an incredibly valuable addition to existing postcolonial theory." - Ole Birk Laursen, in: Journal of Postcolonial Writing 2012, First Review, 1–2 "The edited volume [...] contains a wealth of experience drawn from the colonial and postcolonial worlds for activists to reflect upon and scholars to debate." - Andrew Lawrence, in: Marx & Philosophy Review of Books, 26 April 2012 "The book is an excellent collection of narratives from the anarchist and syndicalist resistance to globalisation first attempt by the block of authoritarian and imperialist development (1870-1930) and goes beyond the usual Western European tradition [...]" - Dimitri Troaditis, in: Anarkismo.net (article 20751) "This is a superb book.

Edinburgh University Press The Politics of Postanarchism
Book SynopsisArticulates the intersection of anarchism and poststructuralism in order to frame a new approach to politics: 'postanarchism'.Trade ReviewSaul Newman is one of the pioneers in redeeming the promise of anarchist thought with the resources of contemporary continental philosophy. In this work, at once philosophical and political, Newman engages such thinkers as Foucault, Badiou and Ranciere alongside classical and contemporary anarchist thought as well as struggles such as the anti-globalization movement. The Politics of Postanarchism offers a compelling framework for progressive political thought and intervention. -- Todd May, Class of 1941 Memorial Professor of the Humanities, Clemson University In this book, Saul Newman announces postanarchism as a lively, vital and highly pertinent perspective for our times. With a brilliant grasp of the anarchist tradition, of continental theory and the political challenges of the contemporary world, Newman unpacks the meaning and relevance of postanarchism to readers at all levels of experience. That he manages to do so in a readable and confident style, pays testimony to his own growing reputation as a highly original thinker with a great deal to offer us in terms of showing the link between political theory and political practice. Highly recommended. -- Simon Tormey, Professor and Head of School, Social and Political Sciences, University of Sydney Saul Newman is one of the pioneers in redeeming the promise of anarchist thought with the resources of contemporary continental philosophy.

This book includes a history of the concept of anarchy, and an examination of the possibility of anarchic societies.Trade Review‘In Libertarian Anarchy Gerard Casey presents a modern, clear and compelling case for anarcho-capitalism. Any lover of human freedom should read this book that very probably will set the agenda of the philosophical and political discussions of the next decades.' -- Jesús Huerta de Soto, Professor of Political Economy at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain‘Gerard Casey has written a truly astonishing book, one that relentlessly dismantles some of the most deeply embedded presuppositions in political philosophy. From now on, this will be the first book I use to persuade someone who insists on the vast benefits the state provides. A lasting and vastly significant addition to the literature.' -- Thomas Woods, Senior Fellow at Ludwig von Mises Institute, USA and New York Times bestselling authorCasey does an admirable job of representing the philosophical case for libertarian anarchism. -- Alex Sager * Marx & Philosophy Review of Books *Table of Contents1.
