They Have Always Been Military: On So-Called Militarized Policing in Canada
Over the last few years there has been growing attention to and discussion of the so-called militarization of policing. Unfortunately, much of this discussion poses the militarization of policing as a recent phenomenon. This paper examines policing in Canada within the context of an ongoing military practice. It shows that policing was founded on a military basis and continues to be carried out on a military basis as exemplified in the more recen…
Organizing Anarchy: Anarchism in Action
Organizing Anarchy' details the remarkable growth and diversity of anarchist organizational practice in a range of spheres of activity from community centers and social spaces to online activism to labor and workplace militancy - and beyond - over the first decades of the twenty-first century. These projects involve innovative approaches by which anarchists resist current forms of exploitation and oppression while building anarchist relations for…
Crisis States: Governance, Resistance & Precarious Capitalism
This is an age of crisis: economic, political, environmental, and social. Yet the nature of contemporary crisis is often misunderstood. Crisis, rather than being accidental or episodic ? as is too often assumed ? has been a regular feature of state practice in the neoliberal austerity regimes of contemporary capitalism. In this timely work Jeff Shantz gives special attention to the particular manufactured crises associated with austerity regimes …
Constructive Anarchy: Building Infrastructures of Resistance
Constructive Anarchy, the result of more than a decade of direct study within a variety of anarchist projects, provides the most wide-ranging and detailed analysis of current anarchist endeavours. The compelling discussions of anarchism and union organising, anti-poverty work and immigrant and refugee defence represent truly groundbreaking undertakings from a rising scholar of contemporary anarchism. Organised to illustrate the development of the…
Left Realism
Left realism emerges as a dual response to the law and order agenda of New Right criminology and the supposed utopianism of anarchist and Marxist criminology. Left realism attempts to shift debates away from middle‐class fears of the working class and to take seriously working‐class experiences of crime, including working‐class fears of victimization, which Left realists record through the use of surveys. They note that the working classes suffer…
Neoconservative Criminology
New Right, or neoconservative, criminology emerged primarily in the early 1980s and is associated with social and economic transformations of neoliberal capitalist globalization. New Right criminology provides an economic rationalist program for dealing with social issues. Stressing the dominance of the market and economic efficiency and profit for capital, it asserts law and order politics as a response to growing social hardships. Emphasis is p…
Cyber disobedience: Re://presenting Online Anarchy
Few activities have captured the contemporary popular imagination as hacking and online activism, from Anonymous and beyond. Few political ideas have gained more notoriety recently than anarchism. Yet both remain misunderstood and much maligned. Cyber Disobedience provides the most engaging and detailed analysis of online civil disobedience and anarchism today

Commonist Tendencies: Mutual Aid beyond Communism
Radical theory has always been beset by the question of ontology, albeit to varying degrees and under differing conditions. In recent years, in particular, political metaphysics has returned with force: the rise of Deleuze-influenced “new materialisms,” along with post-/non-Deleuzian Speculative Realism (SR) and Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO), all bear testament to this. In this same period, anarchism has returned as a major influence on social m…

Poverty, social movements and community health: The campaign for the Special Diet Allowance in Ontario
This paper offers a discussion of a new social movement in Ontario, which organises politically around the intersection of poverty and health. It examines the day-to-day practices of the campaign and its coalition of poor people and health professionals and the implications of this grassroots movement for healthcare. It also discusses the significance of this type of ‘direct action casework’ more broadly for anti-poverty and healthcare movements …

The foundation of our community’: Cultural restoration, reclaiming children and youth in an indigenous community
Ongoing impacts of colonialism and displacement, cultural erasure and economic marginalization have contributed to the reality of indigenous youth in Canada being pushed into activities that place them at high risk for contact with the criminal justice system (Samuelson and Monture-Angus 2002). This is through actual engagement in criminal activities, including involvement with gangs, drug abuse and interpersonal violence. It also relates to the …

A Marriage of Convenience: Anarchism, Marriageand Borders
Marriage, the legal and religious sanctioning of interpersonal relationships, rarely receives much attention in anarchist feminist thought. Major collections of anarchist writings (for example, Horowitz, 1964; Woodcock, 1977; Roussopoulous, 1989; and Guerin, 1998) cover many areas of social life but few have essays dealing with marriage. Popular works, such as Marshall (1993), in which contemporary institutions and social relations are addressed,…
Capitalism is making us sick: Behind the Sars crisis in Toronto
For much of the first half of 2003, world attention from Hong Kong to Geneva was captured by news of a mysterious but deadly virus, similar to pneumonia, claiming lives in places as distant as Toronto and Beijing. As accounts of the virus's growing toll became regular occurrences, by February the term 'SARS' (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) was part of the global lexicon. By the end of 2003, there had been around 8000 infections worldwide, and…
Radical Ecology and Class Struggle: A Re-Consideration
An essential tension underlying much thinking about social movements is the relationship between so-called 'new' social movements, such as radical ecology, and 'older' movements such as those involving industrial workers. Indeed, analyses of class have posed a difficult challenge for much radical green thought. This paper discusses new social movement and radical ecology theories to identify perspectives that may pose obstacles to an articulation…

Green Syndicalism: An Alternative Red-Green Vision
Most approaches to Red and Green (labour and environmentalist) alliances have taken Marxian perspectives, to the exclusion of anarchism and libertarian socialism. Recent developments, however, have given voice to a 'syndical ecology' or what some within the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) call 'green syndicalism'. Green syndicalism highlights certain points of similarity between anarcho-syndicalism (revolutionary unionism) and radical ecolo…
Fighting to win: The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty
The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) is a direct action anti-poverty organization which, since 1989, has fought governments of all stripes in Ontario, left (so-called), right and centre to defend the needs of poor people and to work for a future where people are able to live decently. In doing so ocap has become the focal point of resistance to neo-liberal capitalism in Canada's largest province
