ANARCHISM-PEOPLE AND IDEAS
Εκδότης Five Leaves Publications , ISBN 9781915434029
The word 'anarchism' tends to conjure up images of aggressive protest
against government, and - recently - of angry demon strations against
bodies such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
But is anarchism inevitably linked with violent disorder? Do anarchists
adhere to a coherent ideology? What exactly is anarchism?
In this book, Colin Ward considers anarchism from a variety of
perspectives: theoretical, historical, and international, and by exploring
key anarchist thinkers from Kropotkin to Chomsky. He looks critically at
anarchism by evaluating key ideas within it, such as its blanket
opposition to incarceration, and policy of 'no compromise' with the
apparatus of political decision-making. Whatever the politics of the
reader, Ward's argument ensures that anarchism will be much better
understood after reading this book.
Ruth Kinna's long introduction to this edition sets the book in context,
outlining the reasoning behind Ward's approach to anarchism as a
theoretical political system and a practical possibility.
