Anarchy in Athens

About “Anarchy in Athens”

Anarchy in Athens is a study based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork among Athenian anarchists and anti-authoritarians. The book examines a movement that engages in public protests against the Greek state, police, and capitalist institutions. These protests are highly visible and often confrontational. However, the book also highlights the less visible activities of the movement, such as feeding the hungry, protecting migrants from fascist violence, and creating autonomous spaces. The activists share a common political stance against the capitalist state, domination, hierarchy, and discrimination. The book explores the internal complexities of the movement and offers insights into the forces that shape its activities.
