Society Despite the State asks why the state endures. ... A probing, panoramic analysis that also brilliantly models creative pathways into critical pedagogies and methodologies Ruth Kinna, Professor of Political Theory, Loughborough UniversityAn accessible, expansive and beautifully written intervention in critical social theory. It will spur readers to reconsider the silent statism in prevailing ways of knowing our shared world Alex Prichard, Associate Professor of International Political Theory, University of ExeterThe logic of the state has come to define social and spatial relations, embedding itself into our understandings of the world and our place in it. Anthony Ince and Gernimo Barrera de la Torre challenge this logic as the central pivot around which knowledge and life orbit, by exposing its vulnerabilities, contradictions and, crucially, alternatives.Society Despite the State disrupts the dominance of state-centred ways of thinking by presenting a radical political geography approach inspired by anarchist thought and practice. The book draws on a broad range of voices that have affinities with Western anarchism but also exceed it.This book challenges radicals and scholars to confront and understand the state through a way of seeing and a set of intellectual tools that the authors call post-statism. In de-centring the states logics and ways of operating, the authors incorporate a variety of threads to identify alternative ways to understand and challenge statisms effects on our political imaginations.Anthony Ince is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Cardiff University. Gernimo Barrera de la Torre is a postdoctoral research associate at Brown University.
