A Newly Revised Edition of this Always Provocative Collection of Essays; Includes thoughts and reflections on the recent Seattle protests; Anarchism, with its emphasis on ethics, has always stressed the need for counterculture. Concern with the centralisation of power, both political and economic, with the role of the State. The loss of community in urban centres, and our domination of nature, makes this controversial philosophy as relevant today as when it first appeared. Working for the gradual establishment of self-rule, modern anarchists are increasingly recognised as our best social critics. Essays contained within this volume of Anarchist Papers include an assessment of Germany's Green Party and a study of the anarchist thought of Paul Goodman by George Woodcock. Noam Chomsky examines the many ways in which the political powers rewrite history to suit their needs. Murray Bookchin discusses libertarian municipalism, and J Frank Harrison discusses the politics of conformity and persuasion that shape the world of the average person. Both Alice Wexler and Marsha Hewitt present essays on Emma Goldman that show the links between her anarchism and her feminism.
"To find Chomsky, Bookchin, Woodcock and Castoriadis between the same covers is a rare treat indeed." - Canadian Book Review Annual
