The New Cooperativism more(2010). Editorial for guest-edited issue of Affinities: A Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, and Action, 4 (1), pp. 1-11.
Cooperative practices and values that challenge the status quo while, at the same time, creating alternative modes of economic, cultural, social, and political life have emerged with dynamism in recent years. The 15 articles in this issue of _Affinities_--written by activists, coop practitioners, theorists, historians, and researchers--begin to make visible some of the myriad modes of cooperation existing today around the world that both directly respond to new enclosures and crises and show pathways beyond them. Prefiguring other possibilities for organizing life and provisioning for our needs and desires, we call these cooperative experiments "the new cooperativism."
