Since the earliest development of states, groups of people escaped
or were exiled. As capitalism developed, people tried to escape
capitalist constraints connected with state control. This powerful
book gives voice to three communities living at the edges of
capitalism: Cossacks on the Don River in Russia; Zapatistas in
Chiapas, Mexico; and prisoners in long-term isolation since the
1970s. Inspired by their experiences visiting Cossacks, living with
the Zapatistas, and developing connections and relationships with
prisoners and ex-prisoners, Andrej Grubacic and Denis O'Hearn
present a uniquely sweeping, historical, and systematic study of
exilic communities engaged in mutual aid. Following the tradition
of Peter Kropotkin, Pierre Clastres, James Scott, Fernand Braudel
and Imanuel Wallerstein, this study examines the full historical
and contemporary possibilities for establishing self-governing
communities at the edges of the capitalist world-system,
considering the historical forces that often militate against those
who try to practice mutual aid in the face of state power and
capitalist incursion.
