Montgomery and bergman call this phenomenon rigid radicalism: congealed and toxic ways of relating that have seeped into social movements, posing as the “correct” way of being radical. In conversation with organizers and intellectuals from a wide variety of political currents, the authors explore how rigid radicalism smuggles itself into radical spaces, and how it is being undone. Interviewees include Silvia Federici, adrienne maree brown, Marina Sitrin, Gustavo Esteva, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Walidah Imarisha, Margaret Killjoy, Glen Coulthard, Richard Day, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"carla joy bergman and Nick Montgomery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42622154932342,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5662\/4502\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_55fa36ef-87a1-4819-9e2a-9e9c8c73fd04.jpg?v=1771978739"},{"product_id":"octavias-brood-science-fiction-stories-from-social-justice-movements","title":"Octavia's Brood","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdited by adrienne maree brown and Walidah Imarisha\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by AK Press and the Institute for Anarchist Studies, 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e312 pages, paperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom AK Press:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhenever we envision a world without war, without prisons, without capitalism, we are producing speculative fiction.
