"Hydra Rising addresses the wide everyday resistance to todays worldwide citizenship and immigration regimes. Inspired by Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Redikers 2000 book, The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic, it uses Hydra as a metaphor and method to depict heterogeneity in unity and resurface the connections between people and among contemporary struggles in historical accounts, conceptual work, and in everyday acts of subversion. Paying close attention to insurgent practices from below, Hydra Rising starts and stands with people who create alternative futures by working together to end the worldwide regime of national borders and the ruling relations giving them form. Contributors, themselves all part of the contemporary Hydra, illuminate the challenges faced and the profound transformations enacted by people demanding free movement, both those who move and those acting with them in solidarity"-- Provided by publisher.
