Reviews

""Revolution and Restoration is a work of stunning sophistication and subtlety. It makes methodological, conceptual, and philosophical contributions of the first order that are richly illustrated by empirical cases. The book will be read by philosophers, political theorists, historians, and anthropologists and broadly by intellectuals.""- Uday Mehta, CUNY Graduate Center

""We must remember, salvage, refuse, remake. Tomba shows us how. He gives us a past - many pasts - and with them, many far better futures. This work salvages diverse legacies: from workers, from the indigenous, from rebellious peasants, from the poor of every continent, from religious and secular, democrat, communist, and anarchist. As he guides us through these lost pasts, we can see decolonization overcoming dispossession, and older, more capacious ideas of property replacing power and mindless oligarchy. He points us toward earlier work in building worlds where people rule and money is silent. We can have these worlds."" - Anne Norton, University of Pennsylvania ""Revolution and Restoration is a work of stunning sophistication and subtlety.
