Reviews
"Anarchic Agreements is a kind of how-to offering about something not often codified at all, much less with systematic and comprehensive care--forming effective groups, and then, groups of groups, consistently with anarchist aspirations and insights. It addresses the nitty gritty of working well together, a focus that everyone who wants a better world ought to prioritize." --Michael Albert "I've been using the tools and principles in the Anarchic Agreements pamphlets--here at last as one book, with more besides--since 2017. The book works with campaign groups, charities, housing co-ops, worker's co-ops and all sorts of organisations and committees with an aspiration to be less hierarchical or to work better with volunteers. Making agreements that are consensual, changeable and conscious is the keystone for making groups that last. It can also be a tonic for groups that have gone stale, inherited old rules or need a new shared vocabulary to move from a vision of the future to the real thing." --Jed Picksley, community organiser, trainer, activist, and permaculturist "Informed and informative, this is a rare and much needed response to the often simplistic approaches to anarchist organising. For every piece of practical advice useful to organisers, there's an equally valuable reflection on the complexities of working together without hierarchies. I couldn't recommend this more highly for newcomers to horizontal organising--and I'd make the case that it should be mandatory reading for anarchist veterans!" --Matthew Wilson, author of Rules Without Rulers, " Anarchic Agreements is a kind of how-to offering about something not often codified at all, much less with systematic and comprehensive care--forming effective groups, and then, groups of groups, consistently with anarchist aspirations and insights.
