Description

Book Synopsis
Introduces the key aspects of a theoretical debate on prefigurative politics and contemporary protest movements

Trade Review
"What do Occupy" and other such protests really accomplish? This eloquent book disarms that question, terming them "prefigurative" direct action that affords participants an immediate experience of freedom and unsettles prevailing social identities and alliances. Prefigurative Democracy both honors activism and engages scholars, by unexpectedly pairing Hannah Arendt with Ernesto Laclau."" -Lisa Disch, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
