We will be discussing Jesse Cohn’s Demodernizing Anarchism (2022).
Dr. Cohn acknowledges the calls from some Indigenous scholars about the need to decolonize liberatory theory–that is, to locate and identify the ways in which our theories about collective liberation might be built on assumptions about settler colonialism as a way of life. He argues we need to go further and consider demodernizing anarchism: locating and identifying the ways in which anarchism is built on assumptions about science, progress, and revolution that might limit our thinking about what radical alternatives might look like. – The Anarres Project
As always, we meet at Camas Books, 2620 Quadra Street, on Lekwungen Territory. The next meeting is Sunday February 16th @ 6:30PM.

PS: Our friends at the Anarchist Network of Vancouver Island have put together a list of anarchist and adjacent projects on the territory. If you are looking to involve yourself in anarchist activism, look at their trifold! Particularly, Food not Bombs serves free vegan food for revolution every Sunday 4-6PM at Spirit “Centennial” Square. They need help from volunteers.
