Reviews
So skillful is Finn's historical synthesis that Debating Anarchism becomes a work original research in its own right. This book will undoubtedly become an essential introduction to the history of anarchist ideas and movements. * Matthew Adams, Lecturer in Politics, History and Communication, Loughborough University, UK *
Debating anarchism: a history of action, ideas and movements is a meticulously researched, rigorous and fascinating history and theory of anarchism. From its radical beginnings to our current times, Mike Finn gives us, finally, a full understanding of anarchism in theory and practice. This is an important and necessary book. * Dr. Dana Mills, Lecturer in Poltiics, Vrije Univeristeit, Amsterdam, author of Rosa Luxemburg (Reaktion, 2020) *
Debating Anarchism is a panoramic examination of anarchism's shifts and fortunes from the nineteenth century to modern times. Mike Finn's 'anarchist squint' counters the marginalisation of anarchism in European and global histories. His compelling narrative combines impeccable scholarship with crisp, clear analysis to show that the recovery of anarchist history is an important, subversive activity. * Ruth Kinna, Professor of Political Theory, Loughborough University, UK *
