For decades, most anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movements identified radical transformation with capturing state power. The collapse of these statist projects from the 1970s led to a global crisis of left and working-class politics. But crisis has also opened space for rediscovering alternative society-cantered, anti-capitalist modes of bottom-up change, operating at a distance from the state. Originating in an African summit of radical academics, struggle veterans and social movements, the book includes a preface from John Holloway.
