Rebel Alliances: The Means and Ends of Contemporary British Anarchisms

Abstract

From the historical survey, Franks broadens the focus of the study from class struggle anarchism to the rebel alliances of the title -- networks of environmental, animal welfare, unemployed and anti-racist groups, who come together to share ideas and collaborate in actions without compromising their independence or autonomy -- a move that usefully provides an organizational bridge to postanarchist diversity.
