The Illuminati were a network of intellectuals who argued for self-government and against private property, yet the public is now often told that they were (and are) the very group that controls governments and defends private property around the world. Intervening in such misinformation, Lagalisse works with primary and secondary sources in multiple languages to set straight the history of the Left and illustrate the actual relationship between revolutionism, pantheistic occult philosophy, and the clandestine fraternity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploring hidden correspondences between anarchism, Renaissance magic, and New Age movements, Lagalisse also advances critical scholarship regarding leftist attachments to secular politics. Inspired by anthropological fieldwork within today's anarchist movements, her essay challenges anarchist atheism insofar as it poses practical challenges for coalition politics in today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStudying anarchism as a historical object, \u003cem\u003eOccult Features of Anarchism\u003c\/em\u003e also shows how the development of leftist theory and practice within clandestine masculine public spheres continues to inform contemporary anarchist understandings of the \"political,\" in which men's oppression by the state becomes the prototype for power in general. Readers behold how gender and religion become privatized in radical counterculture, a historical process intimately linked to the privatization of gender and religion by the modern nation-state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErica Lagalisse\u003c\/b\u003e is an anthropologist, a writer, and a postdoctoral fellow at the International Inequalities Institute of the London School of Economics and Political Science. \u003cb\u003eBarbara Ehrenreich\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of 14 books, including the bestselling\u003ci\u003e Nickel and Dimed\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBait and Switch\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770493698336,"sku":"9781629635798","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/036022232bc6c1325422c23ebefc5707.webp?v=1780372888","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/occult-features-of-anarchism-with-attention-to-the-conspiracy-of-kings-and-the-conspiracy-of-the-peoples-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
