Resisting Militarism : Direct Action and the Politics of Subversion Hardback
by Chris Rossdale
Part of the Advances in Critical Military Studies series
Hardback
Description
In the past 15 years, UK anti-militarist activists have auctioned off a tank outside an arms fair, superglued themselves to Lockheed Martin's central London offices and stopped a battleship with a canoe.
They have also challenged militarism in many other everyday ways.
This book explores why anti-militarists resist, considers the politics of different tactics and examines the tensions and debates within the movement.
As it explores the multifaceted, imaginative and highly subversive world of anti-militarism, the book also makes two overarching arguments.
First, that anti-militarists can help us to understand militarism in new and useful ways. And secondly, that the methods and ideas used by anti-militarists can be a potent force for radical political change.
