Reviews

Paul Spicker asks how to think-with, live-with, and be-with collectives in this important new book which sees afresh the possibilities of collective life. Crucially, it also reinstates the significance of the common good and value of the common weal for social scientists and activists. Stephen A. Webb, Glasgow Caledonian University This concise and well-written book is a compelling and timely reminder of the importance of collective action and political community. Daniel Beland, McGill University
