TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY ANARCHISM
Unorthodox Ideas for a New Millennium
Edited by Jon Purkis and James Bowen
This collection of essays propels anarchism
firmly into the twenty-first century. The appeal of anarchism
lies in its flexibility of ideas and action. Each new generation
of anarchists thinks and acts in ways which frequently challenge
the orthodoxy of the previous generation, advocating new transformations
of the status quo. All of the contributors to Twenty-First
Century Anarchism pose insightful and challenging questions
concerning relationships between people, technology, culture and
power within the complex configurations of the postmodern world.
For readers familiar with the concepts
of anarchism, Twenty-First Century Anarchism offers
a refreshing look at some old debates, while offering to all a
series of new political and cultural perspectives for the upcoming
millennium. An extensive glossary provides comprehensive coverage
of anarchist figures, movements and events.
The first section, "Old Dogs,
New Tricks," re-examines the concepts of human nature, the
welfare state, and direct action from anarchist perspectives.
The second, "Culture and Anarchy!", looks at this relationship
from both the margins and the mainstream on a number of different
levels. The third, "If Not Now, When?", projects some
of the ideas of anarchism into the future, provocatively addressing
concepts of responsibility, identity, consumerism, work, sex,
technology, and transport, along with an exploration of alternative
futures.
Readers of Twenty-First Century
Anarchism will draw new inspiration from its contents,
which endeavor to present active and powerful ways to take control
of our lives, subvert oppressive power relationships, and develop
and widen interpersonal relationships.
