Anarchism: A Very Short Introduction

Further reading

An earlier interpreter of anarchism remarked that ‘anarchism is like blotting-paper: it soaks up everything’, and, like most political ideologies, it can be given a variety of emphases. Beyond the general histories described in the Foreword, there are several books I should mention, providing alternative or additional interpretations extending those explored in this volume.
