Who is Andrej Grubačić?

Andrej Grubačić is a US-based anarchist theorist, Balkan federalist, and associate professor with a Balkan and Yugoslavian background who has written on anarchism and the history of the Balkans. An advocate of an anarchist approach to writing history, Grubačić is one of the protagonists of "new anarchism", and a member of the anti-authoritarian, direct-action wing of the global justice movement. He is also a member of the International Organization for a Participatory Society. A partner with Peoples' Global Action and other Zapatista-influenced direct action movements, Grubačić's primary political investment is in Balkan struggles. He is a co-founder of Global Balkans network of Balkan anti-capitalists in diaspora. His writings and interests range from anarchist or 'participatory' education to the neo-marxist world-systems analysis, and from the hidden history of American democracy to the history of decentralized communities and mutual aid in the Balkans. His affinity towards anarchism arose as a result of his experiences as a member of the Belgrade Libertarian Group that derives from the Yugoslav Praxis experiment.
