Publisher's Synopsis
Where do the tactics, strategies and lifestyles of today's activists come from? Many ways of promoting radical politics pioneered by Movement for a New Society in the 1970s and 1980s have become central to anti-authoritarian social movements: consensus decision making, spokescouncils, communal living, unlearning oppressive behaviour and co-operatively owned businesses. Andrew Cornell's history of the movement uses its story to raise crucial questions for activists today.
