Rethinking Anarchy


Book Description

This is the first book by Carlos Taibo, a prolific and well-known social theorist in Spain, to be translated into English. Published in it’s original language in 2013, Rethinking Anarchy functions as both an introduction to and in-depth interrogation of anarchism as political philosophy and political strategy. Taibo introduces the basic tenets of anarchism while also diving into and unpacking the debates around each of them, producing a book that should appeal to both beginners and readers with extensive knowledge of the book’s theme. Topics touched upon include liberal versus direct democracy, the nature of the state and its relationship to capitalism, the role of autonomous and anticapitalist social spaces, and how anarchism relates to feminism, environmentalism, antimilitarism, and other struggles.




The Indus


Book Description

The Indus civilization flourished for half a millennium from about 2600 to 1900 BCE, when it mysteriously declined and vanished from view. It remained invisible for almost four thousand years, until its ruins were discovered in the 1920s by British and Indian archaeologists. Today, after almost a century of excavation, it is regarded as the beginning of Indian civilization and possibly the origin of Hinduism. The Indus: Lost Civilizations is an accessible introduction to every significant aspect of an extraordinary and tantalizing “lost” civilization, which combined artistic excellence, technological sophistication, and economic vigor with social egalitarianism, political freedom, and religious moderation. The book also discusses the vital legacy of the Indus civilization in India and Pakistan today.
