"Historical Geographies of Anarchism looks at both the early part ofanarchism’s evolution and speculates on its potential future(s). The book provides an overviewof strains of anarchist thought that originated and were put into practice in various locationsacross the globe. The applied nature of anarchism is striking as many chapters provide examplesof how anarchist thought is inseparable from everyday actions. The book is divided into threesections. The first covers “Spaces of the History of Anarchism”, with the second and thirdcentring around “Early Anarchist Geographies and their Places” and “Anarchist Geographies,Places and Present Challenges”. - Nathan Poirier, Antipode - A Radical Journal of Geography
