On Anarchism offers a vital overview of the foundations of Noam Chomsky's thought, focussing [sic] in particular on his constant questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. The book gathers his essays and interviews to provide a short, accessible introduction to his distinctively optimistic brand of anarchism. Refuting the notion of anarchism as a fixed idea, and disputing the traditional fault lines between anarchism and socialism, this is a book sure to challenge, provoke and inspire. Profoundly relevant to our times, it is a touchstone for political activists and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of anarchism, or of Chomsky's thought.

'Into old age, Chomsky carries his anarchism with uncommon humaneness, without the need to put it on display as a black-masked caricature of itself. A lifetime of radical ideas and busy activism is enough of a credential.'
from Nathan Schneider's introduction,
Anarcho-Curious or, Anarchist Amnesia.
Not to be confused with
Chomsky On Anarchism (AK Press, 2005), which includes the seminal interview,
The Relevance Of Anarcho-Syndicalism - broadcast on London Weekend Television one Sunday lunchtime in 1976! (
