Constructive Anarchy, the result of more than a decade of direct
study within a variety of anarchist projects, provides the most
wide-ranging and detailed analysis of current anarchist endeavours.
The compelling discussions of anarchism and union organising,
anti-poverty work and immigrant and refugee defence represent truly
groundbreaking undertakings from a rising scholar of contemporary
anarchism. Organised to illustrate the development of the diversity
of anarchist strategies and tactics over time, the book begins with
a discussion of alternative media projects before turning attention
to anarchist involvement in broader community-based movements. Case
studies include a discussion of anarchists and rank-and-file
workplace organising, anarchist anti-borders struggles and "No One
Is Illegal" movements in defence of immigrants and refugees since
9/11, and anarchist free schools and community centres. Jeff
Shantz's analysis demonstrates serious and grounded practices
rooted in anarchist organising: practices that may draw on previous
traditions and practices but also innovate and experiment. The
varied selection of case studies allows the author to compare
groups that are geared primarily towards anarchist and radical
subcultures with anarchist involvement in more diverse
community-based coalitions, an approach that is otherwise lacking
in the literature on contemporary anarchism.
