Description
Literary Nonfiction. Politics. Anarchism. An accessible discussion of the revolutionary mode of thought that rejects all forms of domination and seeks, in the words of Louise Michel, "order through harmony." Francis Dupuis-Déri, a professor of political science and an anarchist, reveals through dialogue with his father the humanistic and peaceful roots of anarchism. The discussion moves beyond the caricature of anarchists as proponents of chaos and violence, showing it as a movement based on equality, co-operation, and autonomy.
