Paul Avrich

The Modern School Movement: Anarchism and Education in the United States

AK Press, 2006. Softcover. Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight wear to covers. Based on extensive interviews with former pupils and teachers, this Pulitzer Prize-nominated work is a seminal and important investigation into the potential of educational alternatives. Between 1910 and 1960 anarchists across the United States established more than 20 schools wherein children studied in an atmosphere of freedom and self-reliance. The Modern Schools stood in sharp contrast to the formality and discipline of the traditional classroom and sought to abolish all forms of authority. Their object was to create not only a new type of school, but also a new society based on the voluntary cooperation of free individuals. Among the participants were Emma Goldman, Margaret Sanger, Alexander Berkman and Man Ray. 434 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Politics & Government; Inventory No: dscf11509.

Revolutionary Rehearsals in the Neoliberal Age, 1989-2019

Haymarket Books , 2021. Softcover. Fine Condition. 9781642594683 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, small mark to closed text block, clean covers. “What remains of revolution after decades of neoliberalism? The question is both perplexing and urgent. With realism and radical intransigence, Revolutionary Rehearsals in the Neoliberal Age tackles it head on. Acknowledging the inadequacy of longstanding left-wing models to our era, the authors gathered here also refuse to counsel despair. Instead, they trace emancipatory impulses and upheavals across the scorched landscape of neoliberalism. The result is a provocative, stimulating, and deeply radical set of reflections on the meaning of revolution today. This is a book for everyone who wants to change the world.” —David McNally, author of Blood and Money and Monsters of the Market 458 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Global Perestroika: Transformations of the World Order

Ves Mir, 2015. Hardcover. Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages. A well looked after copy. This book is an attempt to make sense of a changing world around us. Stationary state and evolution are interrelated variables of historical process. At times, however, evolution speeds up, ceases to be gradual and turns into a revolution (social, technological or scientific). The global economic crisis of 2007–2009, also referred to as “The Great Recession”, has brought the need for change into foreground. The global world order is amid sweeping changes. A single generation saw a bipolar world of the Cold War fall apart and the illusions and excesses of a unipolar world shatter. Now, according to one view, we are witnessing the emergence of a hierarchical polycentricity or, in another view, a world without poles or a dominant model. Are these views relevant? A new multi-factor tandem of the USA and China is arising. Will their relations stabilize or destabilize global development? 544 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
