In a provocative mix of polemic and on-the-ground analysis, Raul Zibechi argues that it is time for radicals in the Global North to learn from the people their governments have colonized and oppressed for centuries.

His book contributes to global geographies of autonomous and anti-state thinking, with Zibechi placing his work in conversation with the ideological theorist of Kurdish resistance, Abdullah Ocalan, for a rich and dynamic survey of global movements of decolonization. Now more urgent than ever, this translation by George Ygarza Quispe comes at a time when the global left-struggling to expand its vision in a time of climate chaos and rising authoritarianism-finds itself at an impasse, desperate to animate and renew its critical imaginary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raincoast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51165083566311,"sku":"BKCWO","price":27.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/3591\/files\/CWO.jpg?v=1751989947","url":"https:\/\/bowscoffee.live\/products\/constructing-worlds-otherwise","provider":"Bows Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
