        The politics of attack

        Communiqués and insurrectionary violence

        by Michael Loadenthal, Uri Gordon, Laurence Davis, Alex Prichard, Nathan Jun

        Since the early 2000s, global, underground networks of insurrectionary anarchists have carried out thousands of acts of political violence. This book is an exploration of the ideas, strategies, and history of these political actors that engage in a confrontation with the oppressive powers of the state and capital. This book challenges the reader to consider the historically ignored articulations put forth by those who communicate through sometimes violent political acts-vandalism, sabotage, arson and occasional use of explosives. These small acts of violence are announced and contextualized through written communiqués, which are posted online, translated, and circulated globally. This book offers the first contemporary history of these digitally-mediated networks, and seeks to locate this tendency within anti-state struggles from the past.

        Lisbon rising

        Urban social movements in the Portuguese Revolution, 1974–75

        by Pedro Ramos Pinto

        Lisbon rising explores the role of a widespread urban social movement in the revolutionary process that accompanied Portugal's transition from authoritarianism to democracy. It is the first in-depth study of the widest urban movement of the European post-war period, an event that shook the balance of Cold War politics by threatening the possibility of revolution in Western Europe. Using hitherto unknown sources produced by movement organisations themselves, it challenges long-established views of civil society in Southern Europe as weak, arguing that popular movements had an important and autonomous role in the process that led to democratisation, inviting us to rethink the history and theories of transitions in the region in ways that account for popular agency. Lisbon rising will be of interest not only to students of twentieth-century European history, but across disciplines to students of democratisation, social movements and citizenship in political science and sociology.

        The politics of attack

        Communiqués and insurrectionary violence

        by Michael Loadenthal, Uri Gordon, Laurence Davis, Alex Prichard, Nathan Jun

        This story explores the history, ideas, and strategies of insurrectionary anarchism. This book asks the reader to consider the theories of bomb-throwing, window-smashing, graffiti-scrawling arsonists, and through an examination of movement communiqués, embrace the critique offered by the clandestine, urban guerrillas fighting for total liberation against the omnipresent forces of violence and coercion.

        Workers and revolution in Serbia

        From Tito to Milo_evic and beyond

        by Martin Upchurch, Darko Marinkovic

        This book offers a refreshing new analysis of the role of workers both in Tito's Yugoslavia and in the subsequent Serbian revolution against Milosevic in October 2000. The authors argue that Tito and the Communist leadership of Yugoslavia saw self-management as a modernising project to compete with the West, and as a disciplining tool for workers in the enterprise. The socialist ideals of self-management were subsequently corrupted by Yugoslavia's turn to the market. The authors then move on to examining the central role of ordinary workers in overthrowing the nationalist regime of Milosevic and present an account which runs contrary to many descriptions of 'labour weakness' in post-Communist states. Organised labour should be studied as a movement in and of itself rather than as a passive object of external forces. Two labour movement waves have emerged under post-Communism, the first an expression of desire for democracy, the second as a collaboration and clientelism. A third wave, against the ravages of neoliberalism, is only just emerging.

        The 1989 Revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe

        From Communism to Pluralism

        by Kevin McDermott, Matthew Stibbe

        This important book reassesses a defining historical, political and ideological moment in contemporary history: the 1989 revolutions in central and eastern Europe. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the authors reconsider such crucial themes as the broader historical significance of the 1989 events, the complex interaction between external and internal factors in the origins and outcomes of the revolutions, the impact of the 'Gorbachev phenomenon', the West and the end of the Cold War, the political and socio-economic determinants of the revolutionary processes in Poland, Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, and the competing academic, cultural and ideological perceptions of the year 1989 as communism gave way to post-communist pluralism in the 1990s and beyond. Concluding that the contentious term 'revolution' is indeed apt for the momentous developments in eastern Europe in 1989, this book will be essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and specialists alike. ;

        Love and revolution

        A politics for the deep commons

        by Matt York

        Based on award-winning research, Love and revolution brings classical and contemporary anarchist thought into a mutually beneficial dialogue with a global cross-section of ecological, anti-capitalist, feminist and anti-racist activists - discussing real-life examples of the loving-caring relations that underpin many contemporary struggles. Such a (r)evolutionary love is discovered to be a common embodied experience among the activists contributing to this collective vision, manifested as a radical solidarity, as political direct action, as long-term processes of struggle, and as a deeply relational more-than-human ethics. This book provides an essential resource for all those interested in building a free society grounded in solidarity and care, and offers a timely contribution to contemporary movement discourse.

        Global Marxism

        Decolonisation and revolutionary politics

        by Simin Fadaee

        A cutting-edge exploration of how Marx's ideas have been adopted and adapted by revolutionary thinkers in the Global South. For much of the twentieth century, the ideas of Karl Marx not only inspired resistance to colonial rule but also provided the backbone of other movements for social justice around the world. But today the legacy of Marxism is contested, with some seeing it as Eurocentric and irrelevant to the wider global struggle. In Global Marxism, Simin Fadaee argues that Marxism remains a living tradition and the cornerstone of revolutionary theory and practice in the global South. She explores the lives, ideas and legacies of a group of revolutionaries who played an exceptional role in contributing to counter-hegemonic change. Figures such as Mao Zedong, Kwame Nkrumah, Ali Shariati and Subcomandante Marcos did not simply accept the version of Marxism that was given to them - they adapted it to local conditions and contexts. In doing this they demonstrated that Marxism is not a rigid set of propositions but an evolving force whose transformative potential remains enormous. This global Marxism has much to teach us in the never-ending task of grasping the changing historical conditions of capitalism and the complex world in which we live.

        Experiences of Political Islam in the Corridors of Modern State

        by Group of Researchers

        The study aims to preview the governance experiences of Islamists in the modern era, indicate the extent of their success or failure, and attempt to discover the real fundamentals that assisted their establishment and the real factors that led to their failure. Further, it attempts to reveal their various influences on societies’ systems and how they have been affected by global modernity and the extent of their influence on it. The study also seeks to discover the temporal and spatial contexts for the emergence of the various Islamists’ governance experiences in the modern era and to reliably determine the causes and factors that led to their rise and failure. It moreover seeks to reveal the essence of the practices of modern political, social and institutional experiences of Islamic governance and how close or far they really are from theoretical standards, ideas and perceptions. Furthermore, it attempts to evaluate their institutional performance, know the interactions (containment and collision) between the political perception with religious reference and Western and Arab nationalist perceptions. It finally analyzes the level of interaction of Arab regimes with such experiences in terms of vision, practices, discourse, and the Western position towards them to benefit from the obstacles to success and factors of failure of each experience under consideration at either the regional level or the national level as a whole. Another objective is to use their societal influences and institutional production in building a theoretical framework and a knowledge model that can play its role in developing a vision with social and economic dimensions worthy of application. The most prominent experiences discussed by the project are: Khomeinism in Iran, Erbakan and Justice and Development in Turkey, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Al-Nahda in Tunisia, Al-Turabi in Sudan, House of Saud in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Justice and Development in Morocco, the National Liberation Front in Algeria, the Bolkiah in the Sultanate of Brunei,  Hamas in Palestine, Begovic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zia-ul-Haq in Pakistan, the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate in India, Islamic Courts in Somalia, Tuaregs and Ansar Dine in Mali, and Boko Haram in Nigeria.

        VOICES from the UNDERGROUND

        Select Naxalite Documents 1965-71

        by Amit Bhattacharyya

        Naxalbari exploded many a myth. The upheaval was such that nothing remained the same after Naxalbari. People had to readjust their position vis-a-vis every aspect of the system, political, administrative, military, cultural ”— Samar Sen. How prophetic was the above statement! A section of the toiling masses still keeps hope in the undying spirit of the movement. The Government, on the other, is pursuing administrative, legal, and military policies to contain the discontent of the teeming multitudes. This volume is the first in the series where select documents of the Naxalbari movement as well as thought-provoking debates are compiled.The present volume contains seventeen documents written by the pioneers of the first stage of the movement– articles of Charu Mazumder, Saroj Dutta, Suniti Kumar Ghosh, and Sushital Roychowdhury. General readers, activists, scholars, and policymakers will find this volume a ready reference for the study of the movement and its inherent dynamics.
