The Government of No One by Ruth Kinna (Paperback Book)
The standard book on anarchism for the twentyfirst century. Written with brio, quiet insight and clarity Carl LevyA magisterial study of the history and theory of one of the most controversial political movementsAnarchism routinely gets a bad press. Its usually seen as meaning chaos and disorder or even nothing at all. And yet, from Occupy Wall Street to Pussy Riot, Noam Chomsky to David Graeber, this philosophical and political movement is as relevant as ever. Contrary to popular perception, different strands of anarchism from individualism to collectivism do follow certain structures and a shared sense of purpose a belief in freedom and working towards collective good without the interference of the state. In this masterful, sympathetic account, political theorist Ruth Kinna traces the tumultuous history of anarchism, starting with thinkers and activists such as Peter Kropotkin and Emma Goldman and through key events like the Paris Commune and the Haymarket affair. Skilfully introducing us to the nuanced theories of anarchist groups from Russia to Japan to the United States, The Government of No One reveals what makes a supposedly chaotic movement particularly adaptable and effective over centuries and what we can learn from it. | Ruth Kinna The Government of No One : The Theory & Practice of Anarchism
