The concept of mutual aid is central to the anarchist tradition, but also a source of controversy. This book's intervention is to consider solidarity and mutual aid at the intersection of politics and biology, developing out of the work of Catherine Malabou.

Industry Reviews

Let this stunning gathering of theorists surprise, puzzle, and entertain you: their work unchains altogether different mode of analysis, one that calls attention to the politics of mutual aid, solidarity, and care. --Andrej Grubacic, professor of anthropology at California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, editor of the Journal of World-Systems Research, and the author of Living at the Edges of Capitalism, Wobblies and Zapatistas This collection of thoughtful reflections on solidarity takes off from its character and role in the "mutual aid" tradition of anarchism. Exploring ideas about how to make such solidarity concrete and accessible, it has much to offer activist philosophers concerned to re-appropriate the term. --Bob Brecher, emeritus professor of moral philosophy, University of Brighton Unchaining Solidarity composes a bracing study of anarchist social forms to reveal their capacity to unleash the protean, emancipatory powers of the commons in singular figurations of non-reciprocity. Voicing variations on Catherine Malabou's opening invocation of a "politics of plasticity," its essays deploy a powerfully conceived political and conceptual force as they range freely across the contemporary forms of anarchist solidarity, from neuroplasticity and new materialism to Covid and feminist solidarity. --Nick Nesbitt, Princeton University
