Explores the internal workings of neoliberalism by dissecting the diverse interpretations that have been advanced in academia. Using a critical geographical approach the book arrives at a discursive understanding of neoliberalism by combining interpretations from political economy with poststructuralist thought.
Fuck Neoliberalism: Translating Resistance is a worldwide middle finger to the all-encompassing ideology of our era.This book brings those translations together, accompanied with short essays from each translator that explain the reasons why they translated the text and describes the localized struggles against neoliberalism in their regions. With translations into languages from across the globe, this book highlights the international nature of resistance to the totalitarian ideology of neoliberalism. Featuring a cover produced by renowned artist Ed Repka (a.k.a. the King of Thrash Metal Art), this internationalized, heavy-metal rant against the all-powerful ideology highlights a chink in its armor. When people across the world find a way to communicate a shared message and stand together, resistance can be both beautiful and inspiring.
Anarchism, Geography, and the Spirit of Revolt
How do activists learn radical politics? Does the increasing neoliberalisation of education limit the possibilities of transgressive pedagogies? And in what contexts have anarchist geographers successfully shaped alternative pedagogic practices? Pedagogy is central to geographical knowledge and represents one of the key sites of contact where anarchist approaches can inform and revitalize contemporary geographical thought. This book looks at how anarchist geographers have shaped pedagogies that move towards bottom-up, 'organic' transformations of societies, spaces, subjectivities, and modes of organizing, where the importance of direct action and prefigurative politics take precedence over concerns about the state
From Neoliberal Damnation to Total Liberation
Anarchism is a gathering wilderness that continually defies the confusions and contradictions of capitalism and its current incarnation as neoliberalism. Rooting itself in the tiny forgotten cracks of our fractured order, anarchism heaves open spaces of resistance and rebellion with the energy of a thousand suns. It is the strength that comes when we recognise the beauty of our own lives by seeing ourselves reflected in the lives of others. A dagger in the heart of domination, a clarion call for mutual aid, an unyielding spirit of revolt, anarchism allows us to acknowledge our connection to the Earth, to each other and to the entirety of existence. More than mere ideology, anarchism is a way of knowing and being in a world that situates humanity as but a single flowering within the great mystery of consciousness. Anarchism, above all else, as this primer makes clear, is a geography of possibilities.
