In appreciating and responding to the three symposium papers on "Anarchism, Texts and Children", a case is made for what John Berger has called "the honour of an alternative", for affirmation as well as for refusal. Not only should we respond positively and imaginatively to Colin Ward's call for "counter-history" of our own making, we should also extend our advocacy of alternatives through the adventure of more creative historical methodologies. Lastly, in the spirit of Berger's writing, this Afterword celebrates the capacity of all three papers not just to speak to issues of enduring human importance, but to do so imaginatively and eloquently, thereby refusing and subverting the increasingly dreary hegemony of academic writing disgracefully in thrall to the diminishing calculus of neo-liberalism.
