Guerrilla Guide to Refusal, Paperback by Culp, Andrew, ISBN 1517905230, ISBN-13 9781517905231, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Drawing on the ideas of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus, the author explains how guerrilla logic can address contemporary struggles with patriarchy, anti-blackness, sexuality, capitalism, and the state, and the role of invisibility as a force of disruption. He discusses the strategic principles in manuals on guerrilla fighters, the surveillance of blackness, and the concepts of criminality, fugitivity, and anonymity, to understand how power makes things and people visible.

Reviews"In this moment of miasma, Andrew Culp opens an aperture on a politics of negation that lives and breathes only for itself. A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal taps the vein of revolt, recognizing that its lifeblood already flows through our societies. For Culp, the cry for liberation is an ever-present reverberation that echoes across the beautiful wilderness that is life." --Simon Springer, author of The Anarchist Roots of Geography: Toward Spatial Emancipation

SynopsisA field guide to a nonfascist life at the end of the world as we know it A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal is an unexpected approach to philosophy from a guerrilla-logic point of view. Harnessing critical theory to creatively reimagine counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, and interventions beyond the political mainstream, it takes us on a journey through anarchist infowar, queer outlaws, and black insurgency--through a subterranean network of communiques, military documents, contemporary art, political slogans, adversarial blogs, and captive media. In doing so, it provides powerful new insight into contemporary political movements that pose no demands, refuse labels, and offer no solutions. Written to both inspire and provoke, A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal urges us to think through the refusal to participate in politics as usual. Author Andrew Culp demonstrates how evasion can combatively deny the existing order its power. Focusing on punk cinema, anarchist pamphlets, feminist art projects, hacker manifestos, and guerrilla manuals, he foregrounds invisibility as a novel force of disruption. He draws on concepts of criminality, fugitivity, and anonymity to bring a more nuanced understanding of how power makes things--and people--visible. The book's unique format is that of a theoretical manual, comprising freestanding segments instead of blueprints. Poised to reach beyond the academy into activist circles, this potent theory-in-action intervention forces us to reconsider the terrain upon which our struggles against patriarchy, anti-Blackness, capitalism, and the state operate.
