Description
Book SynopsisThe Bloomsbury Companion to Anarchism is a comprehensive reference work to support research in anarchism. The book considers the different approaches to anarchism as an ideology and explains the development of anarchist studies from the early twentieth century to the present day. It is unique in that it highlights the relationship between theory and practice, pays special attention to methodology, presents non-English works, key terms and concepts, and discusses new directions for the field. Focusing on the contemporary movement, the work outlines significant shifts in the study of anarchist ideas and explores recent debates. The Companion will appeal to scholars in this growing field, whether they are interested in the general study of anarchism or in more specific areas. Featuring the work of key scholars, The Bloomsbury Companion to Anarchism will be an essential tool for both the scholar and the activist.
Trade ReviewThe Continuum Companion to Anarchism...attempts something much more ambitious than a basic overview of anarchist theory, offering instead a comprehensive guide to the current state of contemporary anarchist studies...It is indispensable. -- Matthew S. Adams, University of Victoria * European Review of History *
