Description:
Referred to as 'one of Britain's most original thinkers and writers' (B. Tonkin in Independent 19.2.2010) and 'Britain's most famous anarchist', Colin Ward wrote extensively about positive and practical examples from the past and present of the anarchist spirit or the 'social principle' in everyday life. This book is the first scholarly work dedicated to examining the significance of his distinctive and highly relevant contributions to the areas of education, children and environment.
Review Quotes:
"There has been much written on the late and great Colin Ward in the last decade. This finely crafted edited volume is one of the few attempts to focus on his interest in education, childhood and anarchism, in some ways the key to his political vision... This book shows that another city and countryside for youth and those young at heart like Colin Ward are possible." - Carl Levy, Anarchist Studies
