Portraits of men and women who embodied libertarian socialism in every walk of life.

From the late 19th century to our day, the libertarian movement has been animated by men and women who have lent their names to its key stages of revolution or reform. Through 22 figures ("Twenty-two, here come the anarchists!") plus one more, Philippe Pelletier teases out connections and key moments, portraying networks and the controversies plaguing them. From Virginia Bolten to Stig Dagerman, Errico Malatesta to Emma Goldman, by way of Dario Fo, Sam Mbah, and Murray Bookchin, from Europe to the Americas by way of Asia and Africa, these figures all embody anarchist activism.
