It explores the key anarchist concepts of society and the state, freedom and equality, authority and power, and investigates the successes and failure of the anarchist movements throughout the world. While remaining sympathetic to anarchism, it presents a balanced and critical account. It covers not only the classic anarchist thinkers, such as Godwin, Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Reclus and Emma Goldman, but also other libertarian figures, such as Nietzsche, Camus, Gandhi, Foucault and Chomsky. No other book on anarchism covers so much so incisively.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this updated edition, a new epilogue examines the most recent developments, including \"post-anarchism\" and \"anarcho-primitivism\" as well as the anarchist contribution to the peace, green and Global Justice movements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDemanding the Impossible\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand what anarchists stand for and what they have achieved.
