Leftwing activism of recent decades exhibits an anarchist turn evident in quantitative indicators like mentions of anarchists in news reports and by activists adopting anarchist modes of organization, tactics, and social goals-whether or not they claim that label. The authors of this Element argue that the very crises that generated radical mobilizations since the turn of the millennium have both led activists to reject other strategies for social transformation and to see anarchist practices as appropriate to the challenges of our time. This turn is clearly apparent in the Americas and Europe, and has reverberations on an even broader transnational, perhaps global, scale. This suggests the need for research on social movements to consider anarchists and other marginalized radical traditions more fully, not just as objects of study, but as important sources of theory.

I am an anarchist and I overall like this text, I think it's a good introduction to get some complete basics of what are the goals of anarchists and how they think about the world. I consider his opinion about human nature naive, but given that this is an introductory texts I don't have a problem with that and I like to recommend it to people that want to learn a bit about anarchist movement that has over 150 years history of fighting against every authoritarianism possible and is steadily growing in popularity around the world, inspiring new generations of freedom fighters.
