L'ordre moins le pouvoir: histoire et actualité de l'anarchisme (Instinct de liberté #6)

à un terroriste. Or il faut bien le dire: rien n'est plus faux que ce contre-sens qui résulte de décennies de confusion savamment entretenue autour de l'anarchisme. En première approximation, disons que l'anarchisme est une théorie politique au cœur vibrant de laquelle loge l'idée d'anti-autoritarisme, c'est-à-dire le refus conscient et raisonné de toute forme illégitime d'autorité et de pouvoir."Un tal Evo: biografía no autorizada

violent, l'un d'eux lui a jeté du décapant au visage. En quelques heures, il s'est retrouvé aveugle. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de trente ans de réflexion sur les conséquences de cette nuit-là. Avec une concision et une force remarquables, mêlant la pensée actuelle aux extraits de son journal intime d'alors, l'auteur retrace, sans jamais s'apitoyer sur son sort, ce par quoi il a dû passer : accepter que la vie bascule brutalement, se rééduquer pour retrouver, autant que possible, une existence libre et indépendante, savoir se faire aider mais aussi savoir établir avec les autres une relation dans laquelle sa condition se ferait oublier. De façon étonnante, il a continué à voyager seul à l'autre bout du monde, et même à voir, bien qu'il ait perdu l'usage de ses yeux. Mi-témoignage, mi-essai, ce livre est aussi une méditation inspirée sur les ressources dans lesquelles nous pouvons puiser pour affronter les pires épreuves." -- 4e de couvReal U guide to saving and investing (Real U Guides Ser.)
