Order Without Power: An Introduction to Anarchism: History and Current Challenges
- Used Book in Good Condition
With the rise of the global protestorâ‚¬"from Arab Spring to the Occupy movementâ‚¬"the term "anarchist" hasÂ been littered throughout mainstream media as never before. But just as frequently, its definition is skewed orÂ left wanting: anarchists are painted as nihilists, supporters of chaos, or even terrorists.

InÂ Order without Power, an informative primer, Normand Baillargeon thoroughly defines anarchism andÂ recounts its long history. In outlining the forerunners of this movement, he illuminates the differences between collectivists, federalists, communists, syndicalists, and further strains such as anarcho-feminism, pacifist anarchism, and religious anarchism. With sharp examples and concise, lively language, Baillargeon describes the contributions from early anarchists like William Godwin, Max Stirner, Pierre Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Pierre Kropotkin, through Noam Chomsky, as well as the uprisings, struggles, revolts, and revolutions that tested or expanded the theories. From the International Workingmenâ‚¬s Association to Haymarket, from the Russian Revolution to May 1968, Baillargeon unpacks anarchismâ‚¬s position on various issues and reveals this politicalÂ theoryâ‚¬s vibrant heart: anti authoritarianism, or the rational and conscious refusal of any form of illegitimateÂ authority and power.
