Abstract
italism and the ‘common investment in intersectional thinking and suspicion of hierarchy, including patriarchal marriage and family’ with feminism as well as indigenous political thinking with anticolonialism’ (p. 2). The book is split into Introduction and four very long substantial chapters – on printers and presses, epistolarity, radical study, and intersectionality and third power. Ferguson argues that anarchism is not ‘a nice idea in theory but one that could never work in practice’ but rather that ‘the theory needs some work, but the practices have much to offer’ (p. 12). All in all, this is a fascinating exploration into the history of anarchist print culture that also counteracts a lot of myths about anarchism as a movement.
