As the world hurtles towards ever-deepening crisis, capitalism has reinvented itself once again, seeking to turn every disaster into an opportunity to turn a buck. What’s the alternative? Disaster Communism & Anarchy in the Streets explores the popular responses and grass roots alternatives to this ‘disaster capitalism’. Ranging across the everyday struggles to survive the cascading crises of floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, terrorism, war, droughts, fires, and the covid pandemic, this book is a personal and political journey into the heart of despair, grief, hope, love, solidarity and the most important issues of our times.
