Book Reviews of Wobblies and Zapatistas: Conversations on Anarchism, Marxism and Radical History (PM Press)
Book Review: A World in which many Wobblies (and Zapatistas) Fit
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely book that does an excellent job weaving together many threads of social movement histories and struggles without constantly hitting you over the head about it being movement history. The discussion format does a great job of teasing out the resonances between the Staughton and Andrej's experiences. This book is also quite well timed in that Staughton's amazing and inspiring life has seemingly been somewhat forgotten today, and this book really draws out the connections between the struggles he was involved in during the 1960s with those of the IWW, the Zapatistas, and the movement he continues to be involved with (which overlap and converge greatly with where Andre is coming from, even if not in a physical sense of location necessarily). While there are of course things I'd quibble with here and there (the idea that Marxism and anarchism are Hegelian moments in need of a higher form of synthesis, or the quite silly critique of 'whiteness theory' that attributes to it a kind of unchanging and ahistorical essentializing that is exactly what is it aimed at critiquing), nevertheless this is exactly the kind of movement histories and creative approaches to telling those stories and experiences that is really valuable to the continually necessary task of assessing the current political situation and context of movement building while learning from what has come before and necessarily underlies the state of things we find ourselves in.
