New Perspectives on Anarchism

The study of anarchism as a philosophical, political, and social movement has burgeoned both in the academy and in the global activist community in recent years. Taking advantage of this boom in anarchist scholarship, Nathan J. Jun and Shane Wahl have compiled twenty-six cutting-edge essays on this timely topic in New Perspectives on Anarchism.

Nathan J. Jun is assistant professor of philosophy and coordinator of the philosophy program at Midwestern State University. Shane Wahl is an instructor of philosophy at lvy Tech Community College and teaches philosophy and debate to gifted children through Purdue University's Girted Education Resource Institute.
