The logic of the state has come to define social and spatial relations, embedding itself into our understanding of the world and our place in it. Anthony Ince and Gerónimo Barrera de la Torre challenge this logic as the central pivot around which knowledge and life orbit, by exposing its vulnerabilities, contradictions, and, crucially, alternatives. Society Despite the State disrupts the dominance of state-centric modes of thinking by presenting a radical political geography framework inspired by anarchist thought and practice. The book also draws on a broad range of voices that hold affinities with Western anarchism but also exceed it. The book challenges radical scholars to confront and understand the state through a gaze and set of intellectual tools that the authors have termed 'post-statism'. In de-centering the state’s operational logics and rationalities, the authors incorporate a variety of threads to build a picture of an alternative way of understanding and challenging statism’s effects on our spatial and political imaginations.
