Uri Gordon (born August 30, 1976 in Israel) is an anarchist theorist and activist. He is editor of Freedom.[1][2] Gordon is considered "one of the leading theorists of anarchist movement politics."[3] He has lived in Israel and Great Britain and worked with organizations including Indymedia, Peoples Global Action, and Anarchists Against the Wall.

Scholarship

Gordon received his doctorate in political theory from Oxford University in 2005.[4] His dissertation formed the basis of his book Anarchy Alive! Anti-Authoritarian Politics from Practice to Theory, published by Pluto Press.[5] Gordon has taught at Loughborough University and at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies in Ketura, a Kibbutz north of Eilat.[4]

His work has been cited in over 1,300 academic publications.[6] Gordon is editor of the book series Contemporary Anarchist Studies at Manchester University Press.[7] Besides his scholarly work, Gordon has contributed to Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post.[4]

Activism

Uri Gordon first became involved in the environmental movement, and now advocates for a new, heterogeneous, bioregional, feminist, and action-oriented grassroots anarchism.[4] He considers anarchism to be an "ideology of survival."[8] He further describes anarchism as prefigurative action by which adherents do not wait for major societal change to begin living according to their ideals of horizontal and cooperative relationships.[4]

As a member of Anarchists Against the Wall, he has been a prominent member of the Israeli radical left, active in supporting Palestinian efforts to dismantle the "colonial infrastructure" of segregation barriers throughout the region.[9][10] Recently, in a discussion with Mohammed Bamyeh on the "No State Solution," he has argued for "modes of a multicultural existence and even radical democracy that are not fundamentally opposed to religious practice or tradition, that are moving... towards equality."[2] He also notes that the first necessity is an end to the current violence in Gaza.
