A fascinating and comprehensive history, 'Demanding the Impossible'
is a challenging and thought-provoking exploration of anarchist
ideas and actions from ancient times to the present day. Navigating
the broad 'river of anarchy', from Taoism to Situationism, from
Ranters to Punk rockers, from individualists to communists, from
anarcho-syndicalists to anarcha-feminists, 'Demanding the
Impossible' is an authoritative and lively study of a widely
misunderstood subject. It explores the key anarchist concepts of
society and the state, freedom and equality, authority and power
and investigates the successes and failure of the anarchist
movements throughout the world. While remaining sympathetic to
anarchism, it presents a balanced and critical account. It covers
not only the classic anarchist thinkers, such as Godwin, Proudhon,
Bakunin, Kropotkin, Reclus and Emma Goldman, but also other
libertarian figures, such as Nietzsche, Camus, Gandhi, Foucault and
Chomsky. No other book on anarchism covers so much so incisively.
In this updated edition, a new epilogue examines the most recent
developments, including 'post-anarchism' and 'anarcho-primitivism'
as well as the anarchist contribution to the peace, green and
'Global Justice' movements. Demanding the Impossible is essential
reading for anyone wishing to understand what anarchists stand for
and what they have achieved. It will also appeal to those who want
to discover how anarchism offers an inspiring and original body of
ideas and practices which is more relevant than ever in the
twenty-first century.
