“…Anarchism has been arguably most recently visible at the many economic and
political summits hosted by the rulers of the richest countries and corporate
bodies, from Seattle, November 1999, onwards. However, the evidence from this
book suggests that we cannot limit our concerns to this particular strand of
global anarchism and all of its cross-cultural and cross-continental networks.
The variety of anarchist projects on education, media, community activism,
ecology, art and literature or sexual liberation is extensive, and these are far from limited to isolated pockets of the West, although there is considerable work still to be done, for instance, in putting African anarchism ‘on the map’. Yet in order to maximise the influence of anarchism so as to impact more meaningfully on the destructive economic and political agendas of the powerful, some reflection as to the constituency of anarchist process and its relationship with the nonanarchist world is needed…”
