Reviews

[...] [T]he book investigates how anarchists and syndicalists engaged with imperialism, anti-colonial movements and the national question . Although this is an academic text, grassroots activists will find it useful too. The book offers deep insights into society and history, and it highlights relevant historical experiences that could benefit social movements worldwide. Mandisi Majavu, Journal of Asian and African Studies Vol. 47, No. 122 (2012), pp. 122-124 Let s be clear about one thing this book is an academic masterpiece. Constance Bantman, Anarchist Studies Vol. 20 No. 1 (2012), pp. 106-108 This groundbreaking volume on anarchism and syndicalism in the colonial and postcolonial world sheds new light on hitherto neglected historical yet ever more useful anti-colonial movements that reverberate with today s growing resistance towards transnational corporate powers. [...] [T]his volume is an incredibly valuable addition to existing postcolonial theory. Ole Birk Laursen, Journal of Postcolonial Writing 2012, iFirst Review, 1 2 The edited volume [...] contains a wealth of experience drawn from the colonial and postcolonial worlds for activists to reflect upon and scholars to debate. Andrew Lawrence, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books , 26 April 2012 The book is an excellent collection of narratives from the anarchist and syndicalist resistance to globalisation first attempt by the block of authoritarian and imperialist development (1870-1930) and goes beyond the usual Western European tradition [...] Dimitri Troaditis, Anarkismo.net (article 20751) This is a superb book.
