The launch for a new book that examines insurgent struggles, social movements and their paths through Philadelphia history.

Pacifist ideals and reformist strategies have long held sway over the radical imagination in Philadelphia. Insurrectionary activity is willfully misunderstood, and its historical legacy largely forgotten. Movement for No Society explores some of the historical conditions for our situation and attempts to recover insurgent possibilities in Philadelphia’s history.

A short presentation and discussion will explore recent struggles in Philly, the conditions for this book’s emergence and the idea of direct struggle.
