Successive waves of global protest since 1999 have encouraged
leading contemporary political theorists to argue that politics has
fundamentally changed in the last twenty years, with a new type of
politics gaining momentum over elite, representative institutions.
The new politics is frequently described as radical, but what does
radicalism mean for the conduct of politics? Capturing the
innovative practices of contemporary radicals, Routledge Handbook
of Radical Politics brings together leading academics and
campaigners to answer these questions and explore radicalism's
meaning to their practice. In the thirty-five chapters written for
this collection, they collectively develop a picture of radicalism
by investigating the intersections of activism and contemporary
political theory. Across their experiences, the authors articulate
radicalism's critical politics and discuss how diverse movements
support and sustain each other. Together, they provide a
wide-ranging account of the tensions, overlaps and promise of
radical politics, while utilising scholarly literatures on
grassroots populism to present a novel analysis of the relationship
between radicalism and populism. Routledge Handbook of Radical
Politics serves as a key reference for students and scholars
interested in the politics and ideas of contemporary activist
movements.
Anarchist politics are at the heart of today's most vibrant and
radical social movements. From squatted social centres and
community gardens to acts of sabotage and raucous summit blockades,
anarchist groups and networks are spreading an ethos of direct
action, non-hierarchical organizing and self-liberation that has
redefined revolutionary struggle for the 21st century. Anarchy
Alive! is a fascinating, in-depth look at the practice and theory
of contemporary anarchism. Uri Gordon draws on his activist
experience and on interviews, discussions and a vast selection of
recent literature to explore the activities, cultures and agendas
shaping today's explosive anti-authoritarian revival. Anarchy
Alive! also addresses some of the most tense debates in the
contemporary movement, using a theory based on practice to
provocatively reshape anarchist discussions of leadership,
violence, technology and nationalism. This is the ideal book for
anyone looking for a fresh, informed and critical engagement with
anarchism, as a mature and dynamic political force in the age of
globalisation.
