Not only a major social thinker but also a dedicated revolutionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work analyzes Reclus’ greatest achievement, a sweeping historical and theoretical synthesis recounting the story of the earth and humanity as an epochal struggle between freedom and domination.

His crucial insights on the interrelation between personal and small-group transformation, broader cultural change, and large-scale social organization are explored.

Well-researched and wide-ranging, this volume not only presents an important contribution to the history of anarchism, both as a political tradition and as a social movement, but also offers insightful reflections on contemporary debates in political theory and ecological thought. After a short biographical note, the book analyzes in four parts Kropotkin’s writings on anarchist communism, agrarian socialism, and integral education; modern science and evolutionary theory; the French Revolution and the modern state; and possessive individualism, terror, and war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding as a comprehensive and engaging introduction to anarchism, social ecology, and the philosophy of evolutionary holism,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKropotkin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis written in a straightforward manner that will appeal to those interested in social anarchism and in alternatives to neoliberal doctrines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Peter Kropotkin has been largely ignored as a utopian crackpot, but Brian Morris demonstrates in this wide-ranging and detailed analysis that Kropotkin addressed significantly and perceptively the major issues of the present day.”   —\u003cstrong\u003eHarold B.

Among activists, journalists and politicians, the conversation about how to respond and improve policing has focused on accountability, diversity, training, and community relations.

It shows how the expansion of police authority is inconsistent with community empowerment, social justice—even public safety.
