This is the first work in English to deal comprehensively with
Italian anarchism from the beginning of the century to the rise of
fascism. It reconstructs the development of anarchist and
syndicalist ideas and programmes and charts their relations with
Gramsci and the Turin- based Ordine Nuovo group. The book places
these developments within the general context of little known links
connecting Italian anarchists and syndicalists to sympathizers in
Britain, France, Germany and Russia. The analysis of 'libertarian'
politics in Italy is accompanied by a detailed and fascinating
reconstruction of the social base of Italian anarchism that
challenges the assumptions of much of the political sociology of
the European Left.Developing a hitherto unexplored but important
aspect of Gramsci's political ideas and strategies, this book
contributes to our understanding of one of the central Marxist
thinkers and activists of the twentieth century and to one of the
critical moments in the history of the European Left. In bringing
new life and understanding to an important chapter in contemporary
Italian history, this book is likely to become a standard text on
this pivotal thinker.' Levy has written a major and important study
[...] likely to become a standard reference text.'John Davis,

The debate on Italian regionalism has received renewed impetus from
the disintegration of the First Republic and the emergence of the
Northern League. In this important study, leading scholars of
Italian history, politics, sociology and linguistics examine the
nature of Italian regionalism since the formation of the modern
Italian nation state. This is the first English-language book to
explore the Italian concept of regionalism in all its
ramifications.Topics include: the nature and problems of Italian
regionalism in context; the historical background of the period up
to 1945; critical overviews of regionalism since the establishment
of the Republic; the relationship between dialect, language and
Italian regionalism; and an examination of the origins of the
Northern Leagues, their growing power, and their contribution to
the crisis of the Republic. Contributors: Adrian Lyttelton, John
Davis, Anna Laura Lepschy, Giulio Lepschy, Martin Clark, Percy

Colin Ward was one of the most significant thinkers and activists
of the British anarchist movement in the twentieth century. He was
a prolific journalist who had a profound impact on political
thought, most notably through his works on urban life, housing,
squatters, children and criminology. Contributors focus on Ward's
life and works, including analyses of: his contribution to the
resurgence of anarchist journalism through War Commentary and
Freedom; his impact on other activists; the relationship between
his form of anarchism and the evolving New Left; how Ward's
'practical anarchism' was influenced by the works of Peter
Kropotkin; Ward's Englishness; the contributions he made to British
social policy in the post-war period; and his endorsement of the
seemingly incompatible movements of social anarchism and lifestyle
anarchism.
This handbook unites leading scholars from around the world in
exploring anarchism as a political ideology, from an examination of
its core principles, an analysis of its history, and an assessment
of its contribution to the struggles that face humanity today.
Grounded in a conceptual and historical approach, each entry charts
what is distinctive about the anarchist response to particular
intellectual, political, cultural and social phenomena, and
considers how these values have changed over time. At its heart is
a sustained process of conceptual definition and an extended
examination of the core claims of this frequently misunderstood
political tradition. It is the definitive scholarly reference work
on anarchism as a political ideology, and should be a crucial text
for scholars, students, and activists alike.
This book examines the political, economic and social issues that
are at the heart of the debate on the future of the European Union.
Various experts address the questions of the role of the European
Parliament and democratic control; the reform of the public sector;
citizenship; crime and criminal justice; common foreign and
security policy; East West trade; the communications revolution;
regional inequalities; unemployment; demographic change and health
policy. Recommendations are made for the consideration of the
current IGC.
This title, first published in 1987, is a study of the appeals of
socialism for the educated middle and lower classes in the
nineteenth century, and explores the role of the educated middle
classes during this formative period for major modern socialist
organisations and movements. This title will be of interest to
students of history and politics.

This is a broad ranging introduction to twenty-first-century
anarchism which includes a wide array of theoretical approaches as
well as a variety of empirical and geographical perspectives. The
book demonstrates how the anarchist imagination has influenced the
humanities and social sciences including anthropology, art,
feminism, geography, international relations, political science,
postcolonialism, and sociology. Drawing on a long historical
narrative that encompasses the 'waves' of anarchist movements from
the classical anarchists (1840s to 1940s), post-war wave of
student, counter-cultural and workers' control anarchism of the
1960s and 1970s to the DIY politics and Temporary Autonomous Zones
of the 1990s right up to the Occupy! Movement and beyond, the aim
of this volume is to cover the humanities and the social sciences
in an era of anarchist revival in academia. Anarchist philosophy
and anarchistic methodologies have re-emerged in a range of
disciplines from Organization Studies, to Law, to Political Economy
to Political Theory and International Relations, and Anthropology
to Cultural Studies. Anarchist approaches to freedom, democracy,
ethics, violence, authority, punishment, homelessness, and the
arbitration of justice have spawned a broad array of academic
publications and research projects. But this volume remembers an
older story, in other words, the continuous role of the anarchist
imagination as muse, provocateur, goading adversary, and catalyst
in the stimulation of research and creative activity in the
humanities and social sciences from the middle of the nineteenth
century to today. This work will be essential reading for scholars
and students of anarchism, the humanities, and the social sciences.

"Life and Ideas" gathers excerpts from Malatesta's writings over a
lifetime of revolutionary activity. The editor, Vernon Richards,
has translated hundreds of articles by Malatesta, taken from the
journals Malatesta either edited himself or contributed to, from
the earliest, "L'En Dehors" of 1892, through to "Pensiero e
Volonta," which was forced to close by Mussolini's fascists in
1926, and the bilingual "Il Risveglio/Le Reveil," which published
most of his writings after that date. These articles have been
pruned down to their essentials and collected under subheadings
ranging from "Ends and Means" to "Anarchist Propaganda." Through
the selections Malatesta's classical anarchism emerges: a
revolutionary, nonpacifist, nonreformist vision informed by decades
of engagement in struggle and study. In addition there is a short
biographical piece and an essay by the editor.""
