"Rich and complicated . . . [Territories in Resistance] will be a key reference point in the development of anti-systemic thought."—Gilberto López y Rivas, La Jornada

From Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia to Argentina and Brazil, no living author digs as deep and presents theoretical challenges quite like Raúl Zibechi.
Raúl Zibechi is an international analyst for Brecha, a weekly journal in Montevideo, Uruguay, and the author of Dispersing Power: Social Movements as Anti-State Forces (AK Press, 2010).
