Anarchism and Its Ideals is a brief introduction to anarchism in the tradition of classic texts such as Alexander Berkman's 'ABC of Anarchism' or Nicolas Walter's 'About Anarchism'. While these writings were published decades ago, Milstein's text is shaped by the resurgence of anarchism at the beginning of the 21st century. She successfully highlights the connections between classical anarchism and contemporary anarchist movements. Anarchism is presented as an 'ethical compass' that can guide us towards a society free from domination. This ethical principle unites all anarchist projects throughout history, regardless of their diversity. Milstein's examples range from the Paris Commune of 1871 to contemporary anarchist art collectives. The author's activist engagement is evident.
