Without the State explores the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests - a wave
of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine - through in-depth
ethnographic research with leftist, feminist, and student activists
in Kyiv. The book discusses the concept of "self-organization" and
the notion that if something needs to be done and a person has the
competence to do it, then they should simply do it. Emily
Channell-Justice reveals how self-organization in Ukraine came out
of leftist practices but actors from across the spectrum of
political views also adopted self-organization over the course of
Euromaidan, including far-right groups. The widespread adoption of
self-organization encouraged Ukrainians to rethink their
expectations of the relationship between citizens and their state.
The book explains how self-organized practices have changed
people's views on what they think they can contribute to their own
communities, and in the wake of Russia's renewed invasion of
Ukraine in 2022, it has also motivated new networks of mutual aid
within Ukraine and beyond. Based on ethnographic fieldwork,
including the author's first-hand experience of the entirety of the
Euromaidan protests, Without the State provides a unique analytical
account of this crucial moment in Ukraine's post-Soviet history.
