Back cover blurb

Anarchists seek a world without governments, without bosses, without domination, in which people collectively make the decisions that affect their lives. It’s an attractive vision. However, there are difficult challenges, and it’s not always obvious how to proceed. Brian Martin has explored anarchist alternatives for many years. In Anarchist Dilemmas, he tells of his search for anarchist answers on a range of topics, including voting, experts, bureaucracy, violence, power and work. Anarchists will pursue answers through their practice, as they always have, but it’s worth making explicit some of the challenges they face.
