Issues of internal hierarchy and inequality arise regularly in groups
dedicated to anarchist organizing. In this talk, visiting anarchist author Uri Gordon presents the discussion of leadership and power in his new book "Anarchy Alive!” (www.anarchyalive.com. What are the sources of inequality among activists? And can these be addressed by a move to more formal and accountable structures? Talk followed by open discussion.

Uri Gordon is an Israeli activist and author. He completed his PhD on
contemporary anarchism in Oxford while organizing with the Dissent!
network, Indymedia and Anarchists Against the Wall. Today he teaches at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies.
