The Impossible Community: Realizing Communitarian Anarchism by John P. Clark

4.0

I read this as part of the Anarchist Political Ecology group, of which John has been a central organizer and participant. It is a wonderful balance of philosophical critique and practical examples of how we might approach our experiments in bioregional ecological communitarianism today, right now. I undoubtedly had my criticisms -- particularly about the Katrina chapter and also the overly long takedown of Bookchin -- but all in all it was a wonderfully provocative and wholly educational read.
