talk by Cindy Milstein, Institute for Anarchist Studies

Thursday, April 10^th 7:00PM @ Wooden Shoe Books (508 s. 5th street, between Lombard and South)

But why the anarchist fascination with something that's far from anything we'd recognize as politics? And why, if we choose, do anarchists frequently use strategies that mirror statist and/or liberal forms, or are simply unimaginative? Perhaps, in zeroing in on presidential elections, we aren't anarchic enough either. Or conversely, perhaps this electoral moment does indeed offer us a way to spotlight the best of anarchism as a replacement for statecraft.

Cindy is co-organizer of the annual Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference and the Radical Theory Track at NCOR, a board member of the Institute for Anarchist Studies, and a collective member of both the Free Society Collective and all-volunteer Black Sheep Books in Montpelier. She taught for many years at the "anarchist summer school" known as the Institute for Social Ecology, and writes for various periodicals and anthologies.
