Anarchy Book: Graphic Guide 200 pages, 1/2 size, paperback, imported (12 oz) * OUT OF STOCK *

Everyone knows what an anarchist looks like - a cloaked assassin armed with dagger, bomb, and bullet. How is it possible then that the anarchist ranks also include the Free Spirit mystics of the Middle Ages, Russian Nihilists, French Impressionists, and Punk musicians? As this book shows, anarchism is a wide spectrum of beliefs and practices.

Despite seemingly contradictory ideas - socialism and individualism, terrorism and pacifism, philosophy and agitation - two things unite all anarchists: the absolute rejection of state authority and an unshakeable belief in the creative potential of free human beings.

The author/illustrator Cliff Harper is a committed anarchist. He was expelled from school at 13, put on probation at 14, and worked at menial jobs until he helped start an urban commune. A self taught artist, he is now one of Britain's leading radical illustrators.

A super primer and introduction to anarchist history, ideas, and action...all gloriously illustrated, of course, by Cliff Harper.
