An account of the concept of revolution in the work of Deleuze and GuattariWe are witnessing the return of political revolution. However, this is not a return to the classical forms of revolution: 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. This book 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.Key featuresOutlines the theoretical and practical origins of the return to political revolutionProvides the first full-length account of Deleuze and Guattari's relationship to a concrete revolutionary struggle
