This week we dive into the central theme of the book-- anarchism-- and discuss whether or not it is still relevant 50 years after the publication of The Dispossessed. What does Le Guin have to say about anarchism? Is it specific to a particular school of anarchism?  What are the new forms of power explored in the book? Is Shevek's research into the nature of time anarchist in any sense? Kim Stanley Robinson says his and Le Guin's forms of leftist politics are different, but the differences don't matter. If they don't matter now, when do they matter? For this series we read and discussed Toni Morrison's Paradise Jan 14-28, Mike Resnick's Kirinyaga Feb 4-18, and Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed Feb 25 - Mar 11. Next week we will wrap up the series by discussing all three of these books.You can join our book club discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CanonicalPod where you can also find show notes, credits and extended discussions for every episode.You can support us by rating/liking/sharing our podcast!
