Ebook: How Not to Be Governed: Readings and Interpretations from a Critical Anarchist Left

How Not to Be Governed explores the contemporary debates and questions concerning anarchism in our own time. The authors address the political failures of earlier practices of anarchism, and the claim that anarchism is impracticable, by examining the anarchisms that have been theorized and practiced in the midst of these supposed failures. The authors revive the possibility of anarchism even as they examine it with a critical lens. Rather than breaking with prior anarchist practices, this volume reveals the central values and tactics of anarchism that remain with us, practiced even in the most.;Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction: How Not to be Governed; Chapter One: Anarchist Methods and Political Theory; Chapter Two: An Anarchism That is not Anarchism: Notes toward a Critique of Anarchist Imperialism; Chapter Three: Beside the State: Anarchist Strains in Cuban Revolutionary Thought; Chapter Four: Kant via Rancière: from Ethics to Anarchism; Chapter Five: Nietzsche, Aristocratism, and Non-domination; Chapter Six: Max Stirner, Postanarchy avant la lettre; Chapter Seven: The Late Foucault's Premodernity.
