About the book
Breaking the Spell offers the first full-length study that charts the historical trajectory of anarchist-inflected video activism from the late 1960s to the present. Video plays an increasingly important role among activists in the growing global resistance against neoliberal capitalism. Chris Robe's book fills in historical gaps by bringing to light unexplored video activist groups. This groundbreaking study also deepens our understanding of movements like AIDS video activism, Paper Tiger Television and Indymedia by situating them within a wider context of radical video activism.
