`Come Hell or High Water’ helps individuals navigate the world of egalitarian, directly democratic groups. From their experiences working with egalitarian and anarchist organizations, Delfina Vannucci and Richard Singer offer a street-level view of how social relationships and power work. Lessons are learned and hindsight is 20/20, and `Come Hell or High Water’ offers readers both in this little gem. Critical, humorous, and prophetic, this book is a must-read for those new to egalitarian groups as well as for the salty old vet that thinks she’s got it all figured out. It’s a tough world out there; it’s a world that doesn’t prepare us for developing social relationships based on trust, caring, and solidarity – as well as a healthy respect for differences. Whether playing a role in an anarchist organization, horizontal social or political group, worker co-op, or trying to incorporate egalitarian processes where they don’t already exist, `Come Hell or High Water’ will help keep you focused on the positives and help in avoiding the pitfalls.
