Anarchism Books
Indiana University Press The Anarchists of Casas Viejas
Book SynopsisExamines the lives of Andalusian campesinos, rural workers and peasants, who were swept up by one of the 20th century's pivotal social movements.Trade Review" ... It is no exaggeration to qualify this work as a significant new contribution to the historiography of Spanish anarchism and also to the social history of the Andalusian peasantry. A more effective prosecution of oral history is rarely to be found." Stanley G. Payne, Journal of Modern History " ... a brilliant and moving combination of conventional research and oral history." Raymond Carr, New York Review of Books "Mintz convincingly demolishes both liberal and Marxist myths about the Spanish anarchists, and compellingly depicts their real world in a classic revolutionary historiography." Nicholas Walter, New Statesman "This is an extraordinarily affecting and profound account of the anarchist movement in Spain, from the perspective of the ordinary women and men who constituted its core and whose lives were roiled by its turbulence. As a demonstration of how anthropologists can understand the grand events of history as forms of experience that resonate in everyday life for long decades after they occur, this book has become a historical milestone in its own right." Michael Herzfeld "For its intelligence and humanitarian achievements, for its political honesty, for its power and its beauty (there is no other word), this book deserves to be called a masterpiece."

MP-WIS Uni of Wisconsin Worse than the Devil Anarchists Clarence Darrow
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A beautifully written account of Milwaukee a century ago, as well as a fair appraisal of the political passions of those times in the light of recent research. Strang approaches his subject with the skill of a sympathetic storyteller.”—Shepherd Express“Strang paints a convincing and critical picture of the events in question, illuminating this moment in American history and justice. . . . Bound to be of interest to scholars and hobbyists alike.”—Publishers Weekly“Dean A. Strang’s fascinating book excavates a conspiracy trial in Milwaukee back in 1917 that sheds crucial insights into the failings of our legal system and the hazards of succumbing to mass hysteria against immigrants and alleged terrorists. The book provides urgent lessons for us all. And along the way, the author provides vivid portraits of Clarence Darrow and Emma Goldman.”—Matthew Rothschild, editor of The Progressive“In engaging prose and with a terrific eye for detail, Dean A. Strang gives us the full story of a fascinating—and almost forgotten—moment of conflict from Milwaukee’s past. His book explores debates over civil liberties and terrorism, immigration and radicalism as they were lived and fought over a century ago.”—Beverly Gage, author of The Day Wall Street Exploded“Vividly depicts [Clarence Darrow’s] strengths and foibles. The reader truly understands why Darrow’s involvement in the Milwaukee bombing defendants’ appeal arrived at a pivotal period.”—New Republic“No one asked for this story. It simply begged to be told. . . . Strang’s impulse to tell a representative, rather than a unique, story has a chilling power he could not have anticipated.”—Partisan“A riveting account of a miscarriage of justice relevant to our times, when fear of radicals of a different stripe may infect our system of justice.”—Booklist

University of California Press Unruly Equality
Book SynopsisFar from fading away, anarchists dealt with major events such as the rise of Communism, the New Deal, atomic warfare, the black freedom struggle, and a succession of artistic avant-gardes. This book traces US anarchism as it evolved from the creed of poor immigrants militantly opposed to capitalism early in the twentieth century.Trade Review"Points to a growing interest in the study of American anarchist history for readers of political and social history." -- Jessica Moran Library Journal "No matter how one feels about it, the current state of anarchism has represented something of a mystery: What was once a mass movement based mainly in working class immigrant communities is now an archipelago of subcultural scenes inhabited largely by disaffected young people from the white middle class. Andrew Cornell's Unruly Equality: U.S. Anarchism in the Twentieth Century supplies the first convincing account of that transition... Cornell's analysis serves as a much-needed check against the kinds of fairy tales that anarchists too often tell themselves about themselves. With its historical backing and its determined even-handedness, Unruly Equality simultaneously delivers a well-researched account of the 'transformation of the economic Left into the cultural Left' and offers an honest and nonsectarian assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of each... Unruly Equality makes a real contribution to the history of American anarchism and may - if it is widely read and carefully considered - make a contribution to anarchism's future as well." -- Kristian Williams Toward Freedom "Andrew Cornell's Unruly Equality: U.S. Anarchism in the Twentieth Century comes as a precious gift. It is a sweeping, enthralling history of anarchism's march-really, more of a shuffle-across the mid-twentieth century in the United States. Throughout eight chapters and 300 pages of storytelling and analysis-all backed by another 70 pages of notes-Cornell explicitly attempts to demystify how the classical anarchism of Bakunin and Kropotkin morphed into the contemporary anarchisms we now know-from today's class strugglers and insurrectionists, to the anarcho-primitivists, and especially to the more intersectional anti-authoritarian current." -- Jeremy Louzao Institute for Anarchist Studies "Cornell's book is a perfect fit for a broad array of social and political leaders and thinkers, from young activists who grew up scrawling anarchy symbols on their lockers, to academics who study the means and motives of social change." -- Melissa Wuske Foreword "Unruly Equality makes a real contribution to the history of American anarchism... Cornell's book is... strong on the facts... [and] tells a forgotten story." Transcend Media Service The book is scholarly and highly readable... Highly recommended." -- T.S.

Through a genuinely theological approach to the issues of power, coercion, and oppression, Davor Džalto advances human freedomone of the most prominent forces in human historyas a foundational theological principle in Christianity.

Cornell University Press Assassins and Conspirators
Book SynopsisOver the course of the German Empire the Social Democrats went from being a vilified and persecuted minority to becoming the largest party in the Reichstag, enjoying broad-based support. But this was not always the case. In the 1870s, government mouthpieces branded Social Democracy the party of assassins and conspirators and sought to excite popular fury against it. Over time, Social Democrats managed to refashion their public image in large part by contrasting themselves to anarchists, who came to represent a politics that went far beyond the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Social Democrats emphasized their overall commitment to peaceful change through parliamentary participation and a willingness to engage their political rivals. They condemned anarchist behaviorterrorism and other political violence specificallyand distanced themselves from the alleged anarchist personal characteristics of rashness, emotionalism, cowardice, and secrecy.

Temple University Press,U.S. Against Capital in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisThe problems of capitalism have been studied from Karl Marx to Thomas Piketty. The latter has recently confirmed that the system of capital is deeply bound up in ever-growing inequality without challenging the continuance of that system. Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century presents a diversity of analyses and visions opposed to the idea that capital should have yet another century to govern human and non-human resources in the interest of profit and accumulation. The editors and contributors to this timely volume present alternatives to the whole liberal litany of administered economies, tax policy recommendations, and half-measures. They undermine and reject the logic of capital, and the foregone conclusion that the twenty-first century should be given over to capital just as the previous two centuries were. Providing a deep critique of capitalism, based on assessment from a wide range of cultural, social, political, and ecological thinking, Against Capital in the Twenty-Fir

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Stop Thief!: Anarchism and Philosophy
Book SynopsisMany contemporary philosophers – including Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Giorgio Agamben – ascribe an ethical or political value to anarchy, but none ever called themselves an “anarchist.” It is as if anarchism were unmentionable and had to be concealed, even though its critique of domination and of government is poached by the philosophers. Stop Thief! calls out the plundering of anarchism by philosophy. It’s a call that is all the more resonant today as the planetary demand for an alternative political realm raises a deafening cry. It also alerts us to a new philosophical awakening. Catherine Malabou proposes to answer the cry by re-elaborating a concept of anarchy articulated around a notion of the “non-governable” far beyond an inciting of disobedience or common critiques of capitalism. Anarchism is the only way out, the only pathway that allows us to question the legitimacy of political domination and thereby wfree up the confidence that we need if we are to survive.Trade Review“At a time when the global order of power starts to become anarchic, Malabou attests to the importance and timeliness of anarchism today. In this brilliant intervention, she rethinks anarchism through the problematic of ontological anarchy, breathing new life into this forgotten tradition.”Saul Newman, Goldsmiths University of London“Stop Thief! is essential reading for all those committed to understanding and overcoming historic rifts between anarchy (popularly identified with leaderless politics, anti-globalization movements and libertarianism) and anarchism as philosophy. Older, semi-forgotten anarchist ideas are brought back and rendered re-usable for a contemporary revolutionary praxis. And with these reinvigorated conceptual frameworks, protean forms of revolt come into relief, positioned against the toxic fusion of ‘government violence and the uberization of life’ that underwrites late liberal, authoritarian political cultures of today.”Emily Apter, New York UniversityTable of ContentsTranslator’s Note 1 Surveying the Horizon 2 Dissociating Anarchism from Anarchy 3 On the Virtue of Chorus Leaders: Archy and Anarchy in Aristotle’s Politics 4 Ontological Anarchy.

This book is a critical and insightful analysis of the utopian practice of this unique spiritual township, by a native scholar.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Anarchy, State and Public Choice
Book SynopsisAlthough most people believe that some form of government is necessary, until recently it was merely an assumption that had never been analyzed from an economic point of view. This changed in the 1970s when economists at the Center for the Study of Public Choice engaged in a systematic exploration of the issue. This stimulating collection, the first book-length treatment on the public choice theory of government, continues and extends the research program begun more than three decades ago.The book reprints the main articles from the 1972 volume Explorations in the Theory of Anarchy, and contains a response to each chapter, as well as new comments by Gordon Tullock, James Buchanan, Jeffrey Rogers Hummel and Peter Boettke. The younger economists are notably less pessimistic about markets and more pessimistic about government than their predecessors. Much of the new analysis suggests that private property rights and contracts can exist without government, and that even though problems exist, government does not seem to offer a solution. Might anarchy be the best choice after all? This provocative volume explores this issue in-depth and provides some interesting answers.Economists, political scientists, philosophers and lawyers interested in public choice, political economy and spontaneous order will find this series of essays illuminating.Trade Review'The collection is well-rounded, including both purely theoretical analyses, as well as contributions with a strong historical and empirical focus. . . This is an excellent collection not only for all those interested in the question of whether anarchy constitutes a feasible option that is superior to statist societies, but also for those interested in understanding how many real-world interactions do take place in the absence of effective third-party enforcement.' -- Ralf M.

Rutgers University Press Love, Anarchy, & Emma Goldman
Book Synopsis“What this remarkable book does . . . is to remind us of that passion, that revolutionary fervor, that camaraderie, that persistence in the face of political defeat and personal despair so needed in our time as in theirs.” —Howard Zinn “Fascinating …With marvelous clarity and depth, Candace Falk illuminates for us an Emma Goldman shaped by her time yet presaging in her life the situation and conflicts of women in our time.” —Tillie Olsen One of the most famous political activists of all time, Emma Goldman was also infamous for her radical anarchist views and her “scandalous” personal life. In public, Goldman was a firebrand, confidently agitating for labor reform, anarchism, birth control, and women’s independence. But behind closed doors she was more vulnerable, especially when it came to the love of her life. Love, Anarchy, & Emma Goldman is an account of Goldman’s legendary career as a political activist. But it is more than that—it is a biography that offers an intimate look at how Goldman’s passion for social reform dovetailed with her passion for one man: Chicago activist, hobo king, and red-light district gynecologist Ben Reitman. Candace Falk takes us into the heart of their tumultuous love affair, finding that even as Goldman lectured on free love, she confronted her own intense jealousy. As director of the Emma Goldman papers, Falk had access to over 40,000 writings by Goldman—including her private letters and notes—and she draws upon these archives to give us a rare insight into this brilliant, complex woman’s thoughts. The result is both a riveting love story and a primer on an exciting, explosive era in American politics and intellectual life. Trade ReviewWhat this remarkable book does . . . is to remind us of that passion, that revolutionary fervor, that camaraderie, that persistence in the face of political defeat and personal despair so needed in our time as in theirs."" - Howard Zinn""Fascinating. With marvelous clarity and depth, Candace Falk illuminates for us an Emma Goldman shaped by her time yet presaging in her life the situation and conflicts of women in our time."" - Tillie Olsen

Cambridge University Press The Battle against Anarchist Terrorism An International History 18781934
Book SynopsisThis is the first global history of the secret diplomatic and police campaign that was waged against anarchist terrorism from 1878 to the 1920s. Anarchist terrorism was at that time the dominant form of terrorism and for many continued to be synonymous with terrorism as late as the 1930s. Ranging from Europe and the Americas to the Middle East and Asia, Richard Bach Jensen explores how anarchist terrorism emerged as a global phenomenon during the first great era of economic and social globalization at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries and reveals why some nations were so much more successful in combating this new threat than others. He shows how the challenge of dealing with this new form of terrorism led to the fundamental modernization of policing in many countries and also discusses its impact on criminology and international law.Trade Review'I cannot imagine a more nuanced and comprehensive history of the diplomatic efforts of the Great Powers to forge an international alliance against the threat posed by anarchist terrorism at the turn of the twentieth century. Jensen's narrative is particularly judicious in its interpretation as he carefully distinguishes government responses to events of real, perceived, and manufactured events of anarchist violence. His account is rooted solidly in archival evidence, much of it previously unexplored. Careful readers will perhaps glean lessons for our own twenty-first-century wars against terrorism.' Martin A. Miller, Duke University, North Carolina'This impressive and deeply researched study of the transnational rise and fall of anarchist terrorism establishes Richard Bach Jensen as one of our leading historians of political violence. Charting the symbiotic development of anarchist violence and its repression by governments world-wide, in the process dispelling longstanding myths of far flung anarchist conspiracies and government complots, it is indispensable for anyone struggling to understand past and present global wars on terrorism.' Mats Fridlund, Aalto University and University of Copenhagen Center for Advanced Security Theory'Employing his remarkable command of foreign languages, Richard Bach Jensen has scoured archives across Europe and the Americas to reconstruct the world of diplomats and police involved in the first global campaign against anarchism. Meticulously researched and crafted, this book provides an essential historical context for present debates about appropriate governmental responses to terrorism.' Mary Gibson, John Jay College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York'Well before 9/11 and jihadists, there were anarchists and the fear they generated in various capitals throughout the world. No single group in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries engendered as much concern among the power brokers in Europe and North America as anarchists. Jensen has completed a splendid volume concerning these radicals … Unknown to many readers, and described ably by Jensen, were the roles played by the police and intelligence services, which infiltrated terrorist cells as informers or as agents provocateurs. A must-read for anyone interested in the historical evolution of counterterrorism in modern world history.' Choice'… [an] impressively researched and readable history … Jensen combed through police memoirs, newspaper accounts, and diplomatic archives in no fewer than five languages to track how the besieged states came to coordinate their antianarchist efforts. He has meticulously reconstructed two little-known diplomatic initiatives: an 1898 conference in Rome and the St Petersburg Protocol of 1904 (and helpfully includes their resolutions as an appendix) … the author suggests that a satisfactory understanding of the rise and decline of 'propaganda by the deed' requires the history of policing to be embedded in broader social histories. Jensen makes some admirable moves in this direction.' The Journal of American History'Impressively researched and readable history … The Battle against Anarchist Terrorism offers insights to historians of the Left, and perhaps even to contemporary organizers looking to craft strategies that achieve redistribution and resist recuperation.' Kirwin Shaffer, American Historical Review'This is a comprehensive and pioneering study of the multilateral governmental responses to the fear and reality of anarchist violence during 1878–1914. Jensen convincingly demonstrates how official anxieties surrounding 'propaganda of the deed' - political assassinations conceived as exemplary violence to arouse the masses from their slumber - fostered secret diplomacy and international cooperation, reshaped extradition policies and aroused utopian hopes among some governments of a global anti-anarchist alliance. … A central achievement of the book is the explanation of why some nations fared better than others in combatting anarchist violence. Jensen provides a systematic and extensive analysis of the track records of different national governments, with a special focus on Argentina, Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and the US … [This book] is enriched by Jensen's linguistic skills and his enviable command of various national archives. Chris Ealham, European History Quarterly'Jensen has written the definitive work on the subject of European and, to a lesser extent, American and international government and police responses to anarchism. Jensen's book rests not only on a comprehensive knowledge of the scholarly and published primary literature on anarchism and its foes but also on archival work of incredible breadth, encompassing the diplomatic and police archives of Italy, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Britain, Spain, the United States, and Argentina, as well as several collections of personal papers and numerous contemporary newspapers. The book … written in a lively and clear style, stands as a landmark of careful scholarship.'

Cambridge University Press Anarchy and Legal Order Law And Politics For A Stateless Society
Book SynopsisThis book elaborates and defends the idea of law without the state. Animated by a vision of peaceful, voluntary cooperation as a social ideal and building on a careful account of non-aggression, it features a clear explanation of why the state is illegitimate, dangerous and unnecessary.Trade Review'Anarchism's case, against the state and for the viability and desirability of a polycentric legal order, receives its most challenging and detailed articulation in Chartier's book.' Hillel Steiner, FBA, Professor of Political Philosophy, University of Manchester'Those who defend the legitimacy of the state (even a minimal one) will be forced to reconsider their views by Gary Chartier's clear, sparkling, and trenchant defense of anarchism. This is required reading, not only within the libertarian movement, but by anyone who works in political philosophy.' Fernando R. Tesón, Tobias Simon Eminent Scholar and Professor of Law, Florida State University'Anarchy and Legal Order is one of the most important books of libertarian political theory to be published in the last forty years. Libertarians have long appealed to the natural law tradition, but no one has done so with the depth and sophistication of Gary Chartier. And no one has done a better job of showing how the insights of libertarian natural law theory can help us see the ways in which real-world capitalism has been deeply unjust.' Matt Zwolinski, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of San Diego'Gary Chartier's book brings together the natural law and anarchist traditions in ways that are illuminating for both. It illustrates the richness of the natural law approach to ethics, using it to make a compelling case for a stateless society. The book is original, insightful and closely argued. It will help to cement Chartier's growing reputation as a leader in natural law and anarchist thought.' Jonathan Crowe, Associate Professor, University of Queensland'This book is a major contribution to debates on the status of anarchism. It deftly combines moral justification with a concern for institutional practicality and bridges the divide between socialist and libertarian standpoints. One of the very best books on the subject I have ever encountered.' Mark Pennington, Professor of Public Policy and Political Economy, King's College, London'Chartier takes the insight that there can be law without legislation and develops it into a manifesto, a vision of what socialism could have and should have been: socialism that does not pander to the urge to run other people's lives. Chartier finds kindred spirits across a wide array of traditions, yet the synthesis that emerges is all his own. Anarchist it is, but this is the anarchism of a humanist, not a terrorist, a deeply thoughtful anarchism unlike anything yet seen.' David Schmidtz, Kendrick Professor of Philosophy, joint Professor of Economics (by courtesy), and Director of the Center for the Philosophy of Freedom, University of Arizona'Anarchy and Legal Order is currently the book to read if one wants to explore the potential and limits of natural law, nonaggression maxim, praxeology based doctrines of stateless social order. Austrian scholars of all persuasions will benefit immensely from engaging with its arguments and the intellectual precedent it creates.' Review of Austrian EconomicsTable of Contents1. Laying foundations; 2. Rejecting aggression; 3. Safeguarding cooperation; 4. Enforcing law; 5. Rectifying injury; 6. Liberating society; 7. Situating liberation.

Penguin Books Ltd Living My Life Penguin Classics
Book SynopsisAnarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famous—and notorious—woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin’s Bolshevik experiment, and more. Sounding a call still heard today, Living My Life is a riveting account of political ferment and ideological turbulence. First time in Penguin Classics Condensed to half the length of Goldman's original work, this edition is accessible to those interested in the activist and her extraordinary era
