Taz the Temporary Autonomous Zone 2ND Edition

by Hakim Bey

Taz the Temporary Autonomous Zone 2ND Edition Cover

Staff Pick

"Since the WTO, anarchism is once again a household word. This book introduced a whole new generation to the enticements of the anarchist lifestyle when it was released in the early 90's. Still a password for acceptance in many circles, it is an incitement to begin living fully now, without waiting for a hypothetical "revolution." Hakim Bey (a pseudonym) gleefully offends everyone, including anarchists of all stripes, while always seeking to inspire critical thinking in readers looking to break from the stultifying constraints of modern life."
Recommended by Stephen, Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The underground cult bestseller! Essays redefining the psychogeographical nooks of autonomy. Recipes for poetic terror, anarcho-black magic, post-situ psychotropic surgery, denunciations of spiritual addictions to vapid infotainment cultsthis is the bastard classic, the watermark impressed upon our minds. Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, T.A.Z. continues to worm its way into above-ground culture. Second edition, with a new introductory essay by the author and additional appendical materials.

Synopsis:

Renegade historian and novelist Metzger takes the reader on a wild ride through the Burnt-Over District of Western New York, exploring the weird, ignored, and inexplicable spiritual landscape of his home territory. Sites include the Ground Zero of Mormonism, creepy Victorian spiritualist camps, the utopian promises of Oneida, and the birthplace of the electric chair, among others. A must-read for psychogeographic upstate getaways!

A.K. Strong, May 28, 2007 (view all comments by A.K. Strong)
The quintessential read for any and all who have ever experienced even the slightest tinge of inexplicable freedom via imagination, Bey's TAZ creates a sense of collectivity that can not be understood without digesting this text. From pirates to Babylon, Bey covers the entire breadth of human collectivity and essential freedom in the face of an empirical society keen on defining the undefinable, resulting in an intellectual explosion on a scale known only to Melville's Moby-Dick. A truly delightful read.
