In this final section, we’ll be considering the explicitly unruly actions and implicitly rebellious imaginations of anarchy. To paraphrase the late David Graeber: anarchism has tended to be an ethical discourse about rebellious practice. It is better understood as a tendency and attitude than as a political theory to be applied strategically. While many of its more well known embodiments in the past 150 years have taken the form of a radical libertarian tendency within Eurocentric and Enlightenment political projects — often framed through the doctrines of key thinkers like Mikhail Bakunin, Emma Goldman, Peter Kropotkin and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon — we’ll be approaching it in several very different ways.
From Maia Ramnath’s critical historiography of anarchism and anti-colonial struggle in India to James Scott’s uncovering of implicitly anarchist histories throughout hillside regions of Southeast Asia, we’ll consider non-western expressions of anarchy. William Anderson will help us explore the intersection of anarchism, abolition and Black radical traditions. And finally, in the horrific context of Nazi concentration camps, we’ll conclude by exploring how resistance persists, even in the face of hopelessness.
