Attempts by people to enact their political beliefs in their daily
lives have become commonplace in contemporary US culture, in
spheres ranging from shopping habits to romantic attachments. This
groundbreaking book examines how collective social movements have
cultivated individual practices of "lifestyle politics" as part of
their strategies of resistance, and the tensions they must navigate
in doing so. Drawing on feminism and other movements that claim
that "the personal is political," the book explores how radical
anarchist activists position their own lifestyles within projects
of resistance. Various lifestyle practices, from consumption to
personal style to sexual relationships, are studied to address how
identity and cultural practices can be used as tools of political
dissent. An accessible and provocative text, Lifestyle Politics and
Radical Activism blends theory with empirical materials to
highlight issues that are important not only to anarchists, but
also to anyone struggling for social change. This unique analysis
will contribute to the development of anarchist theory and practice
and will appeal to anyone interested in political activism and
social movements.
