Society Despite the State: Reimagining Geographies of Order

disrupts the dominance of state-centric modes of thinking by presenting a radical political geography framework inspired by anarchist thought and practice. The book also draws on a broad range of voices that hold affinities with Western anarchism but also exceed it. The book challenges radical scholars to confront and understand the state through a gaze and set of intellectual tools that the authors have termed 'post-statism'. In de-centering the state’s operational logics and rationalities, the authors incorporate a variety of threads to build a picture of an alternative way of understanding and challenging statism’s effects on our spatial and political imaginations.
