We live in an age of conspiracy theories. Occult Features of Anarchism, with Attention to the Conspiracy of Kings and the Conspiracy of the Peoples. If you are interested in Occult Features of Anarchism, you may like to listen to t he podcast of an LSE event in which Erica Lagalisse discusses her book, recorded at LSE on 20 March 2019. This is a rich work that confronts deep-seated contemporary questions about anarchism, conspiracy theories and the nature of knowledge, writes Bethan Johnson.

In Occult Features of Anarchism, with Attention to the Conspiracy of Kings and the Conspiracy of the Peoples, Erica Laglisse challenges the assumption that rationality and secularism are at the centre of anarchism, instead showing how this is rooted in a disavowal of its roots in religious and occult thinking, with implications for how we view anarchism and conspiracy theories today.
