Best,

Press blurb: *Without Masters* is an anthropological history of the radical
ethical and political principle of autogestión as it traveled around the
world in the twentieth century and came to be popularized in Mexico City in
the early 2000s. A political term that first arose in 1962 Algeria traveled
across continents until it landed in Mexico City’s anarcho-punk scene in
the 1980s, where it eventually came to be associated more with zines,
music, art, and Zapatismo than with its origins in anarchism or
syndicalism. *Without Masters* brings the true history of autogestión and
the quiet radicalism of Mexico City’s autogestive collectives to an
English-speaking audience for the first time. Along the way, Stone brings
together diverse materials, from punk zines and political fliers to Beat
novels and Zapatista parables, that tell an alternate history of radical
politics throughout the world in the second half of the twentieth century
which serves as a reminder of Mexico’s formative role in the creation of
modern social theory.
