With his father Thomas Deri, wrote Anarchy Explained to My Father (New Star, 2017), translated from French by John Gilmore. Originally published by Lux Editeur in 2014 as L'anachie expliquee a mon pere. Book blurb says: "In a thoughtful and engaging question-and-answer format, the authors explore anarchism from its historical roots to the present. They gently correct popular misconceptions to outline anarchism's positive contribution to political theory and practice, as well as the dilemmas it engages, from the use of violent tactics to the irony of teaching anarchism in the university." The book is an accessible discussion of this revolutionary philosophy that rejects all forms of domination and seeks to find order through harmony.

Francis Dupuis-Deri teaches political science at Universite du Quebec a Montreal. He earned his PhD in political science at UBC in the 1990s. His father, Thomas Deri is a former publisher, an editor and translator, co-founder of the Libraire du Quebec bookstore in Paris, and former director of the Salon du livre book fair in Montreal.
