Returning to Revolution: Deleuze, Guattari and Zapatismo

by Thomas Nail

We are witnessing the return of political revolution. However, this is not a return to the classical forms of the capture of the state, the political representation of the party, the centrality of the proletariat or the leadership of the vanguard. After the failure of such tactics over the last century, revolutionary strategy is now headed in an entirely new direction. Thomas Nail argues that Deleuze, Guattari and the Zapatistas are at the theoretical and practical heart of this new direction. 'Returning to Revolution' is the first full-length book devoted to Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of revolution and to their connection with Zapatismo.
