The Nation On No Map: Black Anarachism and Abolition

The Nation on No Map examines state power, abolition, and ideological tensions within the struggle for Black liberation while centring the politics of Black autonomy and self-determination. Amid renewed interest in Black anarchism among the left, Anderson offers a principled rejection of reformism, nation building, and citizenship in the ongoing fight against capitalism and white supremacism. As a viable alternative amidst worsening social conditions, he calls for the urgent prioritisation of community-based growth, arguing that in order to overcome oppression, people must build capacity beyond the state.
