Maia Ramnath - Decolonizing Anarchism.pdf - Libcom

Praise for Dec%niling Anarchism
Maia Ramnath offers a refreshingly different perspective
on anticolonial movements in India, not only by fo ­
cusing on little-remembered anarchist exiles such as Har
Dayal, Mukerji and Acharya but more important, highlighting
the persistent trend that sought to strengthen autonomous
local communities against the modern nationstate.
While Gandhi, the self-proclaimed philosophical
anarchist, becomes a key figure in this antiauthoritarian
history, there are other more surprising cases that Ramnath
brings to light. A superbly original book.
-Partha Chatterj ee, author of Linellges of Political
Society: Studies in Postcolonial Democracy
"This is a stunningly impactful and densely researched
book. Maia Ramnath has offered a vital contribution to our
understanding of the long historical entanglement between
liberation struggles, anticolonialism, and the radical movement
of oppressed peoples against the modern nation-state.
She audaciously reframes the dominant narrative ofIndian
radicalism by detailing its explosive and ongoing symbiosis
with decolonial anarchism."
