Anthony Ince and Ger?nimo 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSociety Despite the State\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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 state's logics and ways of operating, the authors incorporate a variety of threads to identify alternative ways to understand and challenge statism's effects on our political imaginations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Ince\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at Cardiff University. \u003cb\u003eGer?nimo Barrera de la Torre\u003c\/b\u003e is a postdoctoral research associate at Brown University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Ince, Ger?nimo Barrera de la Torre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745341241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745341248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Anthony Ince","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46546089246975,"sku":"9780745341248","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5781f534-f6df-4d19-a71d-1ac3a4fabb0e.jpg?v=1738184098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/society-despite-the-state-anthony-ince-9780745341248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
