Occult Features of Anarchism - Erica Lagalisse

Studying anarchism as a historical object, Occult Features of Anarchism shows how the development of leftist theory and practice within clandestine masculine public spheres continues to inform contemporary anarchist understandings of the 'political,' in which men's oppression by the state becomes the prototype for power in general. Readers behold how gender and religion become privatised in radical counterculture, a historical process intimately linked to the privatisation of gender and religion by the modern nation-state.
