Essay #98: Rhiannon Firth, ‘Afterword to Fight for a New Normal: Anarchism and Mutual Aid in the Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis’
In this essay, Rhiannon provides an Afterword summarizing some of the key themes in a recently published volume of collected essays edited by Jim Donaghey titled Fight for a New Normal? Anarchism and Mutual Aid in the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis. Rhiannon also playfully problematizes the title of the book, arguing that rather than fighting for a new normal, anarchists should be fighting against normativity itself.
Rhiannon Firth is Lecturer in Sociology of Education at the Institute of Education, UCL Faculty of Education and Society. Rhiannon's most recent publications are Disaster Anarchy and Entangled Futurities.
