About Anarchy Alive!

Anarchist politics are at the heart of today’s most vibrant and radical
social movements. From squatted social centres and community gardens to
acts of sabotage and raucous summit blockades, anarchist groups and
networks are spreading an ethos of direct action, non-hierarchical
organizing and self-liberation.that has redefined revolutionary struggle
for the 21st century.

Anarchy Alive! is a fascinating, in-depth look at the practice and
theory of contemporary anarchism. Uri Gordon draws on seven years of
activist experience and on interviews, discussions and a vast selection
of recent literature to explore the activities, cultures and agendas
shaping today’s explosive anti-authoritarian revival.

Anarchy Alive! Also addresses some of the most tense debates in the
contemporary movement, using a theory based on practice to provocatively
reshape anarchist discussions of leadership, violence, technology and
nationalism.

This is the ideal book for anyone looking for a fresh, informed and
critical engagement with anarchism, as a mature and dynamic political
force in the age of globalization.

Praise for Anarchy Alive!

“Uri Gordon has made us look at the anarchist movement through new eyes.
He illuminates and makes us question our most basic assumptions, puts
his finger squarely on our most painful dilemmas, and opens up new
vistas of choice and understanding.”
– Starhawk, author of “Truth or Dare” and “Webs of Power”

“Uri Gordon has performed a major service to the emerging
anti-capitalist, anti-globalization movement. In an engaging, clear
style he has succeeded in the near-impossible task of explaining the new
anarchism in both theory and practice. This book will be welcomed by
believers and the uninitiated alike. It is written with both audiences
in mind and, avoiding jargon and preaching, is likely to be widely read
and admired.”
– Prof. Stanley Aronowitz, author of “The Knowledge Factory” and
“Implicating Empire”

“Hugely learned and yet easy to read…for the adept or novices in
anarchist thought alike…not only will it become required reading in the
anarchist movement, but it will have a sizeable impact on the
academy…this will be a defining text in anarchist circles for the next
few years at the very least.”
- Alex Pritchard, Anarchist Studies
