This history is presented with an accessible overview, quickly bringing the unitiated reader up-to-speed with a crash course in the most influential anarchists and their ideals. These principles are then further explored through groups such as the Situationists, social ecologists, zapatistas and anti-globalisation activists.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595801075985,"sku":"GOR013315967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50401470218513,"sku":"CIN1849350019G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50448343564561,"sku":"NGR9781849350013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50960859136273,"sku":"CIN1849350019A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054343979281,"sku":"NIN9781849350013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51123412828433,"sku":"GOR006485744","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849350019.jpg?v=1751217138"},{"product_id":"deciding-for-ourselves-book-cindy-milstein-9781849353731","title":"Deciding For Ourselves","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a time of social and ecological crises, people everywhere are looking for solutions. States and capitalism, rather than providing them, only make matters worse. There's a growing sense that we'll have to fix this mess on our own. But how? Deciding for Ourselves, in the spirit of the Zapatistas, demonstrates that \"the impossible is possible.\" A better world through self-determination and self-governance is not only achievable. It is already happening in urban and rural communities around the world--from Mexico to Rojava, Denmark to Greece--as an implicit or explicit replacement for nations, police, and other forms of hierarchical social control. This anthology explores this \"sense of freedom in the air,\" as one piece puts it, by looking at contemporary examples of autonomous, directly democratic spaces and the real-world dilemmas they experience, all the while underscoring the egalitarian ways of life that are collectively generated in them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738182754577,"sku":"NGR9781849353731","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49876440416529,"sku":"CIN1849353735G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50694549143825,"sku":"GOR014038607","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51056355606801,"sku":"NIN9781849353731","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51481643745553,"sku":"CIN1849353735VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849353735.jpg?v=1751346976"},{"product_id":"rebellious-mourning-the-collected-works-of-grief-book-cindy-milstein-9781849352840","title":"Rebellious Mourning: The Collected Works of Grief","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"This intimate, moving, and timely collection of essays points the way to a world in which the burden of grief is shared, and pain is reconfigured into a powerful force for social change and collective healing.\" --Astra Taylor, author \u003ci\u003eThe People's Platform\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"A primary message here is that from tears comes the resolve for the struggle ahead.\" --Ron Jacobs, author of \u003ci\u003eDaydream Sunset\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eRebellious Mourning\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the destruction of life that capitalist development leaves in its trail.

Grief is generally thought of as something personal and insular, but when we publicly share loss and pain, we lessen the power of the forces that debilitate us, while at the same time building the humane social practices that alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for everyone. Addressing tragedies from Fukushima to Palestine, incarceration to eviction, AIDS crises to border crossings, and racism to rape, the intimate yet tenacious writing in this volume shows that mourning can pry open spaces of contestation and reconstruction, empathy and solidarity.

The contemporary renewal of Jewish anarchism draws on a history of suffering, ranging from enslavement and displacement to white nationalism and genocide. Yet it also pulls from ancestral resistance, strength, imagination, and humor--all qualities, and wisdom, sorely needed today. These essays, many written from feminist and queer perspectives, journey into past and contemporary trauma in ways that are humanizing and healing. They build bridges from bittersweet grief to rebellion and joy. And via concrete illustrations of how Jewish anarchists lovingly transform their own ritual, cultural, and political practices, they clearly illuminate the path toward mending ourselves and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391277175057,"sku":"CIN1849353999G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50955271504145,"sku":"CIN1849353999VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052968968465,"sku":"NIN9781849353991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51491085615377,"sku":"GOR011891298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52498729664785,"sku":"GOR014540819","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52607503859985,"sku":"NGR9781849353991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849353999.jpg?v=1751425928"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-cindy-milstein.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
