Reviews

"The Anarchist Imagination is more than a comprehensive introduction to anarchist and anarchist-inspired scholarship across the disciplines. It is a clear and unambiguous testament to the vitality of anarchist thought both within and without the academy. I cannot endorse it strongly enough." - Nathan Jun, Midwestern State University, USA"These wide-ranging essays trace anarchism’s extensive intersections with academic fields and studies. Anarchism’s influence, the essays demonstrate, is impressively wide and appears both directly, in the relevance of recognized authors, texts and events, and indirectly, in the spill-over of anarchist ways of asking questions and pursuing inquiries into key concepts such as power, order, and change." - Kathy E. Ferguson, University of Hawai'i, USA
