[iDC] Books/texts on democracy

[Jason Del Gandio]

George and all,

Try these for an anti-statist, participatory democracy perspective:

Stevphen Shukaitis and David Graeber (eds.), Constituent Imagination (2007).

John Holloway, Change the World Without Taking Power (2002).

Randall Amster, et al (eds.), Contemporary Anarchist Studies, Anarchy
in the Academy (2009).

Stevphen Shukaitis, Imaginal Machines (2009).

Jason Del Gandio (my own book), Rhetoric for Radicals: A Handbook for
21st Century Activists (2008).

Best,
jason
