The logic of the state has come to define social and spatial
relations, embedding itself into our understandings of the world
and our place in it. Anthony Ince and Gerónimo Barrera de la Torre
challenge this logic as the central pivot around which knowledge
and life orbit, by exposing its vulnerabilities, contradictions
and, crucially, alternatives. Society Despite the State disrupts
the dominance of state-centric modes of thinking by presenting a
radical political geography framework inspired by anarchist thought
and practice. The book also draws on a broad range of voices that
hold affinities with Western anarchism but also exceed it. The book
challenges radical scholars to confront and understand the state
through a gaze and set of intellectual tools that the authors have
termed 'post-statism'. In de-centring the state’s operational
logics and rationalities, the authors incorporate a variety of
threads to build a picture of an alternative way of understanding
and challenging statism’s effects on our spatial and political
imaginations.
