Discarded but not quite forgotten.,
By A Customer
This review is from: No Gods No Masters: An Anthology of Anarchism. Book 1 (Paperback)
"No Gods, No Masters" serves as an excillent introduction to a school (or schools) of ideas commonly discarded by the mainstream of opinion and education. A "must-read" for anyone with a genuine interest in political or intellectual history. Reveals how hollow today's "neo-liberalism" really is.

Essential reading for any advocate of direct action,
This review is from: No Gods No Masters: An Anthology of Anarchism. Book 1 (Paperback)
Both volumes of "No Gods No Masters" are a magnificent contribution to anarchist thought and its ongoing traditions of libertarian justice and fraternity.Daniel Guerin states that "the constructive ideas of anarchism retain their vitality, that they may, when re-examined and sifted, assist contemporary socialist thought to undertake a new departure...[and] contribute to enriching Marxism." In "No Gods No Masters" Guerin is concerned not only with anarchist thought but also with the spontaneous actions of popular revolutionary struggle. He is concerned with social as well as intellectual creativity. He attempts to draw from constructive social achievements of the past, lessons that will enrich the theory of social liberation. One of the better books on Anarchism available for those who truly wish to understand the world and who wish to act constructively to change it for the better. Essential reading for any advocate of direct action for social change. For those who wish not only to understand the world, but also to change it, this is the proper way to study the history of anarchism.

A valuable resource and primer.,
By A Customer
This review is from: No Gods No Masters: An Anthology of Anarchism. Book 1 (Paperback)
Daniel Guerin describes the scope of this book as being a little personally biased but it's clarity and breadth seem to decry his modesty. An excellent reference and primer for anybody interested in individualism, social organization, the history of the labor movement, and anarchism in general.
