Following the emphasis on emotion and praxis in the anarchist geography literature (Clough 2012, 2014; Routledge 2011), this chapter is an attempt to capture the ‘anarchist geographies’ of transnational space we have experienced and convey some of the excitement and feeling of freedom we felt at that time as similar forms of struggle emerged across a variety of issues in Australia, the United States and Japan. In the words of Iwasaburō (Sabu) Kohso (2009, 198), we write ‘together with the “anti-authoritarian global revolutionary movement” and aim to construct thoughts/words while walking together’.2 In order to further elucidate the theoretical concerns which underpin our analysis in this chapter, we begin with a discussion of the way anarchist geographies might be conceptualized in the context of recent social movements.
