Livia K. Stone, Without Masters: Autogesti\u00f3n, Anarchist Ethics, and Mexico City Punk<\/a><\/em> \u2013 Duke University Press, September 2026<\/p>\n Introduction open access at the above link<\/p>\n Without Masters<\/em>\u00a0is an anthropological history of the radical ethical and political principle of autogesti\u00f3n 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\u2019s 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.\u00a0Without Masters<\/em>\u00a0brings the true history of autogesti\u00f3n and the quiet radicalism of Mexico City\u2019s 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\u2019s formative role in the creation of modern social theory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/progressivegeographies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/without-masters.webp?w=600\")
