This book shows the theoretical logic and the empirical usefulness of an anarchist view of the world.' Dr. John Alessio, St. Cloud State University 'Contemporary Anarchist Studies is an urgently needed text at this current historical juncture when powerful arguments for anarchism are needed that are capable of loosening the death grip of capitalist ideology.' Dr. Peter McLaren, University of California, Los Angeles 'Contemporary Anarchist Studies comes at precisely the right moment in history. From anarchist theory and pedagogy in the academy, to the practices of anarchists in the streets, this book collects the insights of many of the most well known names in the field, and provides both a cogent analysis of our present as well as a hopeful direction for our future.' Dr. Corey Lewis, Humboldt State University "It is a perfect volume for a social justice reading group, any college library, and a must for any political theory course. Because of the diversity of articles, sections of the book are also useful for such fields as womens studies, critical animal studies, environmental studies, education, philosophy, criminology, economics, anthropology, sociology, peace and conflict studies, ethnic studies, and political science."Sarat Colling, Political Media Review Contemporary Anarchist Studies has been needed ever since the Battle in Seattle; it is odd that it took so long.

Finally a book that is diverse in topic and thought on anarchist studies. - Dr. Lisa Kemmerer, Montana State University, Billings For anyone wishing to study anarchism, this ought to be required reading. For anyone wishing to practice anarchism, and engage with the theory, this is, indeed, recommended reading. - Ramsey Kanaan, PM Press It's refreshing to see community level issues being dealt with on the academic level. This book offers a rare and important glimpse into grassroots ideas and actions that struggle to change our world from the perspectives of both activists and academics. - Leslie James Pickering, Former Earth Liberation Press Officer A timely and stimulating book that forces us to reconsider both the status quo and fundamental questions pertinent to our cherished notions of democracy. This book will challenge you to think in new ways about age-old issues and is to be highly recommended to anyone who has even a passing interest in the future of humanity. - Dr. Nicola Taylor, Central Queensland University, Australia In a culture bent on the manufacture of an expedient internalized domestication of both the human and non-human and the eradication of anything that might still hint of wildness, this unique and original book is essential reading for anyone interested in radical change. - Dr. Carol Gigliotti, Emily Carr Institute, Canada When I taught Sociology I would ask an auditorium of 300-500 students how many studied or discussed anarchism as part of their education in high school or in college. Often no hands went up sometimes one or two. Most students admitted they had not read anything by an anarchist or about anarchism.
