The Primacy of Resistance provides an important resource for understanding resistance and its potential for initiating and sustaining radical social change. --Howard Caygill, Professor of Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University London, UK Finally a single book has traced out and clarified a crucial thesis in political theory that has not received nearly enough attention. Political resistance has been wrongly understood as a mere reaction or opposition against power. By treated it as such we have taken the side of power and completely misunderstood the creative and dynamic nature of resistance. This book is the most systematic and historical development of this idea that I am aware of. It is well-researched, well-argued, and should be taken seriously by anyone doing political theory today. --Thomas Nail, Professor of Philosophy, University of Denver, USA
