21st Century Dissent

Anarchism has seldom had good press, and anarchists have always faced resistance to their political philosophy. Despite this, 21st Century Dissent contends that anarchism has considerably influenced the modern political landscape. Giorel Curran explores the contemporary face of anarchism as expressed via environmental protests and the anti-globalization movement. She contends that anti-capitalist protest has propelled an invigorated - but reconceptualized - anarchism into the heart of 21st century dissent.

This book examines how anarchism has influenced the modern political landscape, primarily through environmental protest and the anti-globalization movement to argue that it is central to twenty-first century forms of dissent.
