Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari wrote Anti-Oedipus to inspire dissidents and political activists to fight. Yet they did not outline a program for change. Rather, they isolated the political, cultural, and economic factors that inhibit change, creating a work that was instantly recognized as a philosophical watershed.

Anti-Oedipus changed the landscape of political theory, and in this volume, both critical theorists and activists recommend ways to implement Deleuze and Guattari's critical tools in radical practice. Their essays integrate theory and case studies conducted in different political spaces and times, offering new ways to reflect on, experiment with, and transform politics.
