Description:
The Anomie of the Earth's contributors explore the convergences between Italian Marxist autonomic theory and Latin American decolonial thinking. They reject Carl Schmitt's formulation of a universalized world order based on the Western tenets of law and property and discuss the possibilities of locally organized and autonomous self-government.
Review Quotes: "Luisetti, Pickles, and Kaiser have put together a provocative collection of essays determined to identify and theorize an emerging anomic response to the neoliberal and globalizing tendencies of contemporary politics. . . . Its self-reflection makes Anomie of the Earth an exemplar of the project of talking back to Western hegemony, while remaining mindful of the pitfalls of trying to do so from within."--John Randolph LeBlanc "The Latin Americanist"
