My thirteen + nine hour flight is slightly more bearable with this amazing read. It's complex and I don't always agree with the author and her perspective, but what a fantastic history/enthnography of a movement that could be, and often was, a paradigmatically anarchist political movement (but as a consequence, also often turned ugly, reflecting the elite and privileged demographics of it in a way Coleman seems a bit blind to). Super recommend it -- also it would be great to support verso who published it!
