"This timely book introduces readers to anarchism's relationship to broader history, offering not simply a history of anarchism in the modern period, but a critical introduction to debates on anarchist history. Attention thus far has been biased towards intellectual history and key thinkers such as Proudhon, Bakunin and Kropotkin, but these studies have neglected the social movements and spaces which have seen 'anarchy in action' and marginalised the role of women and voices beyond Europe and the United States. Debating Anarchism offers a different perspective, engaging with women's anarchist experiences and grounding recent historical work on anarchism in Africa and Asia. Interrogating anarchism as a concept, a movement and a social reality the author guides the reader through the origins of anarchism in the age of revolutions, assessing experiences of anarchy in Russia, Spain, India and beyond. Tracing the development of 'the beautiful idea' through the twentieth century, Finn explores anarchism in the Cold War world through to postmodernity and the twenty-first century. This volume situates anarchism in the broader historiographies of the modern world, offering a unique starting point for students of history, politics and philosophy seeking to understand the abiding power of 'the beautiful idea' - a society without government"--

J'ai meme eu des menaces de mort. Un appel telephonique a vingt-trois heures le soir, j'avais mis sur repondeur. "Petite devinette pour vous : qu'est-ce qu'une goutte rouge vif qui coule lentement le long d'une vitre ?" Il ne faut surtout pas me dire ca parce que je pense que je suis encore plus redoutable. (Extrait d'entretien avec un militant, fevrier 2022) Si la lutte contre l'installation d'un entrepot Amazon peut parfois prendre des allures romanesques, cet ouvrage se veut avant tout l'etude sociologique et politique d'une mobilisation locale. Comment quelques citoyens d'un petit village proche du Pont du Gard, au depart isoles et armes de leur seule colere, vont-ils reussir a faire plier le geant du commerce en ligne ?

Water for All chronicles how Bolivians democratized water access, focusing on the Cochabamba region, which is known for acute water scarcity and explosive water protests. Sarah T. Hines examines conflict and compromises over water from the 1870s to the 2010s, showing how communities of water users increased supply and extended distribution through collective labor and social struggle. Analyzing a wide variety of sources, from agrarian reform case records to oral history interviews, Hines investigates how water dispossession in the late nineteenth century and reclaimed water access in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries prompted, shaped, and strengthened popular and indigenous social movements. The struggle for democratic control over water culminated in the successful 2000 Water War, a decisive turning point for Bolivian politics. This story offers lessons for contemporary resource management and grassroots movements about how humans can build equitable, democratic, and sustainable resource systems in the Andes, Latin America, and beyond.
