T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone (Autonomedia New Autonomy Series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Inspiration for a generation of troublemakers and idealists. Both celebrated in the punk underground (where the original book has become a seminal text) and denounced in academic anarchist circles, the book has proved itself as both influential and relevant to multiple generations of dreamers, agitators, and activists. Hakim Bey's first book, originally published in 1985, refers in its title to "a mobile or transcient location free of economic and social interference by the State," and through a series of incendiary communiques, short essays, and poetic historical analysis insists on the production of greater autonomy in the present moment, rather than the acceptance of domination in exchange for the promise of some future utopia.
About the Author
Hakim Bey is the nom-de-plume of a notorious anarchist intellectual, under which a large number of essays and communiques have appeared, mostly in the punk underground and on-line. He splits his time between a trailer in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and a run-down NYC Chinatown hotel.
