The high ideals of anarchism have inspired generations of activists
and political thinkers for over a century and a half, winning
respect from even the fiercest of opponents. As the 'conscience of
politics', anarchism's opposition to all forms of power and its
emphasis on responsibility and self-determination has provided a
constant benchmark for other areas of political philosophy and
practice. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, with
popular movements challenging the logic of globalisation, Western
military imperialism and the assumptions of 'democratic'
governments, anarchist theory and practice has once again made its
presence felt. 'Changing anarchism', finally available in
paperback, documents the links between these movements and
contemporary anarchism and demonstrates how anarchist ideas are
evolving in a global age. In particular, the book examines strands
within anarchism concerned with technology, the environment and
identity, and suggests that these are useful sociological tools for
understanding the pervasive and interconnected nature of power. The
contributors also offer practical insight into how power is being
resisted in a variety of social and political contexts and how
anarchist ideals are impacting on many different areas of everyday
life. The balance of activist perspectives on anti-capitalism,
sexuality, narcotics, education and mental health, combined with
theoretical material drawn from post-structuralism, ecologism, the
complexity sciences and social movement theory, ensures that
Changing Anarchism will appeal to the general reader as well as to
students of politics, sociology and cultural studies.
