Anarchist Prophets

“Anarchist Prophets has no equivalent. James R. Martel brilliantly combines erudition and activism, philosophy and theology, political theory and literature. Martel’s new book teaches us to ‘see like an anarchist’ and radically rethink politics in the messiness of life.” - Massimiliano Tomba, author of Insurgent Universality: An Alternative Legacy of Modernity

“In this original and provocative book, James R. Martel formulates the possibility of an anarchist politics while making a creative argument for the importance of imagining anarchist forms of authority. Teeming with brilliant insight and great erudition, yet written with such openness that can only be achieved by the most experienced of authors, Anarchist Prophets renews hope in the imaginative beauty, plurality, and power of collective sight.” - Banu Bargu, author of Starve and Immolate: The Politics of Human Weapons

"Anarchist Prophets [is] a work that deserves a place in the pantheon of anarchist writings, for it incisively and inventively expresses the central critique of the domineering, dominant, and often self-obscure sovereign aspiration at the heart of the vast majority of Western political thought." - Loren Goldman, Perspectives on Politics
