Book excerpt: "This is the first biography of Ammon Hennacy, the famous "Christian Anarchist" and colleague of Dorothy Day, whose politics of voluntary poverty and ecological conscience pre-figure today's social justice, ecology, and gender equality movements. Hennacy is a fascinating figure in that evolution; he spent time in prison with Alexander Berkman, lived with the Hopis, romanced Dorothy Day, and started the Joe Hill House of Hospitality in Utah. He also explored social libertarianism with Henry Nunn, the founder of Nunn-Bush Shoes. Not only a fascinating biography, this book is a nuanced study of "unruly equality," as Andrew Cornell calls it, where religion and anarchist theory overlap. Today these forces are rippling through Seattle, Los Angeles, Copenhagen and other world cities, as anarchists try to set up their own social systems"--
