This book was boring. The introduction, chapter 6 and conclusion were the only chapters I read without my eyes glossing over.

Jeff read it before me, and didn't like it mostly because (other than the boring factor) he'd already read a lot of primary works from anarchists and didn't like how this book is mostly composed of quotes from those works without a lot of synthesis. He didn't get anything new from it. For me, a complete beginner to anarchist theory, I felt totally overwhelmed with names I didn't know given no context before being massively quoted. So this book isn't for the beginner, nor is it for the more well read. I don't know who that leaves.

This book also claims in the title to be about education but it's more about anarchist theory in general. I found that to be a bit interesting because I have a lot of questions about anarchist theory, but ultimately left me a bit disappointed that out of 7 or 8 chapters, only 1 was really dedicated to education.… (más)
