Try Anarchism for Life

Try Anarchism for Life revolves around a thought experiment: What are some of the many beautiful dimensions of anarchism? In reply, it blends gorgeous circle A drawings by twenty-six artists with Milstein’s words, forming picture-prose that are at once inviting and playful, poignant and dreamy. The pieces encourage us to notice and expand on liberatory practices, especially in a time when so much feels impossible. In depicting how anarchism gifts us lives worth living, this book warms ailing hearts and offers tender succor.

Cindy Barukh Milstein, a longtime anarchist organizer and maker of do-it-ourselves spaces, is author of Anarchism and Its Aspirations, coauthor of Paths toward Utopia, and editor of anthologies such as Rebellious Mourning: The Collective Work of Grief and Deciding for Ourselves: The Promise of Direct Democracy.
