Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Postcolonial World, 1870-1940: The Praxis of National Liberation, Internationalism, and Social Revolution: Studies in Global Social History, cartea 6

Steven Hirsch, Lucien van der Walt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 noi 2013
Narratives of anarchist and syndicalist history during the era of the first globalization and imperialism (1870-1930) have overwhelmingly been constructed around a Western European tradition centered on discrete national cases. This parochial perspective typically ignores transnational connections and the contemporaneous existence of large and influential libertarian movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Yet anarchism and syndicalism, from their very inception at the First International, were conceived and developed as international movements. By focusing on the neglected cases of the colonial and postcolonial world, this volume underscores the worldwide dimension of these movements and their centrality in anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles. Drawing on in-depth historical analyses of the ideology, structure, and praxis of anarchism/syndicalism, it also provides fresh perspectives and lessons for those interested in understanding their resurgence today.

Contributors are Luigi Biondi, Arif Dirlik, Anthony Gorman, Steven Hirsch, Dongyoun Hwang, Geoffroy de Laforcade, Emmet O'Connor, Kirk Shaffer, Aleksandr Shubin, Edilene Toledo, and Lucien van der Walt.

With a foreword by Benedict Anderson.

Recenzii

"This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in a nuanced history of left-wing politics, radical labor and social movements [...] scholarly [...] but [...] accessible [...]." - Alex Bradshaw, in: FORsooth (published by the Louisville chapter of the Fellowship of Reconciliation), Volume 25, number 4 (May 2014), pp. 3, 7
“[…] a ground-breaking work [...] the collection is remarkable […] the chapters [...] are compelling [...] one might mention the sheer sense of discovery with which they overwhelm the reader [...]. All in all, the collection is remarkable [...]. The essays they have gathered and carefully knitted together fill a major gap in the historiography and form an impressive and challenging scholarly achievement.” - Yann Béliard, Université Paris 3- Sorbonne Nouvelle, in: Labour / Le Travail
“The chapters develop a powerful sense of anarchism and syndicalism as global political forces, and on the whole this results in a very tightly edited and argued collection defined by excellent, committed scholarship.” - David Featherstone, University of Glasgow, UK, in: Journal of Global History
"[...] [I]t is a valuable contribution. [...] [T]his is a readable, important addition to your local library." - Milan Rai, in: Peace News, Vol. 2550 (October 2012), p. 14
“[…] Hirsch and Van Der Walt’s collection is a salutary reminder of a time when a plurality of international anarchist, socialist and syndicalist initiatives broke out of narrow confines of national politics to challenge, colonialism and racism alike. It is a vital repository of revolutionary thought and practice…” - Bryan Palmer, Trent University, in: New Left Review, Vol. 77 (sept oct 2012), pp. 151-160
"[…] difficult for serious scholars to ignore this volume. […] This important book discusses anarchist and syndicalist movements in Argentina, Brazil, China, Cuba, Egypt, Ireland, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, South Africa and the Ukraine in the period leading up to World War II." - Jon Bekken, in: Anarcho-Syndacalist Review, No. 60 (Summer 2013), 35-37
"[...] [T]he book investigates how anarchists and syndicalists engaged with imperialism, anti-colonial movements ‘and the national question’. Although this is an academic text, grassroots activists will find it useful too. The book offers deep insights into society and history, and it highlights relevant historical experiences that could benefit social movements worldwide." - Mandisi Majavu, in: Journal of Asian and African Studies Vol. 47, No. 122 (2012), pp. 122-124
"Let’s be clear about one thing – this book is an academic masterpiece." - Constance Bantman, in: Anarchist Studies Vol. 20 No. 1 (2012), pp. 106-108
"This groundbreaking volume on anarchism and syndicalism in the colonial and postcolonial world sheds new light on hitherto neglected historical – yet ever more useful – anti-colonial movements that reverberate with today’s growing resistance towards transnational corporate powers. [...] [T]his volume is an incredibly valuable addition to existing postcolonial theory." - Ole Birk Laursen, in: Journal of Postcolonial Writing 2012, First Review, 1–2
"The edited volume [...] contains a wealth of experience drawn from the colonial and postcolonial worlds for activists to reflect upon and scholars to debate." - Andrew Lawrence, in: Marx & Philosophy Review of Books, 26 April 2012
"The book is an excellent collection of narratives from the anarchist and syndicalist resistance to globalisation first attempt by the block of authoritarian and imperialist development (1870-1930) and goes beyond the usual Western European tradition [...]" - Dimitri Troaditis, in: Anarkismo.net (article 20751)
"This is a superb book. " - Wayne Price, in: www.anarkismo.net & www.utopianmag.com (2011)
