While there have been historical accounts of the Anarchist school movement,
there has as yet been no systematic work on the philosophical underpinnings
of Anarchist educational ideas until now. Focusing on the neglected
tradition of Anarchist thought on education, Judith Suisa draws on the work
of 19th century Anarchist theorists such as Bakunin, Kropotkin and
Proudhon. The study also covers 20th century thinkers such as Noam Chomsky,
Paul Goodman and Colin Ward.
