Under Three Flags - Anarchism and the anti-colonial imagination

its way down on my list of things to read, but its still on there since we keep having these 'national liberation' debates

i wonder if he says you can fight for a nation without a state?

there's a podcast here where he talks about the book and presents the main arguments. It sounded interesting, but I have to admit I had quite a lot of difficulty following it (lots of factual details, but some of the stories are interesting) - but that might be because I was doing something else at the same time

rkn I'm reading it when you're done. I like benedict anderson.

If by flighty, convoluted wanky academic speak you mean talking about the first two philipino novels and their attitudes to homosexuality mixed in with a wee digression covering philipino anthropology then yes. Although the next chapter should be better, he talks about anarchist assasinations.
