No Masters, No Slaves: The History and Future of Anarchism

A scholarly study on the history and theory of one of the most controversial political movements. Most media outlets traditionally portray anarchism by associating it with chaos and disorder—or simply ignore it as a phenomenon. However, this philosophical and political movement—from Occupy Wall Street to Pussy Riot, from Noam Chomsky to David Graeber—is more relevant today than ever.

Contrary to popular belief, the various currents of anarchism have a clear self-identification, and together they are united by the стремление for freedom and the collective good without interference from the state.

Professor of political philosophy Ruth Kinna creates a broad picture of anarchism’s turbulent history. Starting with key events such as the Paris Commune and the Haymarket uprising, Kinna Ruth will introduce you in detail to the main anarchist groups, thinkers, and activists—showing their theoretical premises and the diversity of their methods of struggle.
