Summary:
Destruction and violence! How is the ordinary man to know that the
most violent element in society is ignorance; that it's power of
destruction is the very thing Anarchism is combating? - Emma Goldman,
from "Anarchism: What It Really Stands For" From the turn of the 20th
century to the turn of the 21st, the fiery words of "notorious"
anarchist Emma Goldman continue to echo with passion, insight, and
intelligence. Beyond the title essay, Goldman's impassioned calls for
equality, individual freedom, and social justice encompass:.
Minorities versus Majorities. The Psychology of Political Violence.
Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure. Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty.
The Hypocrisy of Puritanism. The Traffic in Women. The Tragedy of
Women's Emancipation. Marriage and Love. The Drama: A Powerful
Disseminator of Radical Thought. and more. They were prophetic when
they were first published in 1910, but these essays demonstrate that
even today Goldman, a thinker of profound wisdom, has not yet seen
her time come. Also available from Cosimo Classics: The Social
Significance of Modern Drama, by Emma Goldman. Anarchist and feminist
EMMA GOLDMAN (1869-1940) is one of the towering figures in global
radicalism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in
Lithuania, she emigrated to the United States as a teenager, was
deported in 1919 for her criticism of the U.S. military draft in
World War I, and died in Toronto after a globetrotting life. An early
advocate of birth control, women's rights, and workers unions, she
was an important and influential figure in such far-flung
geopolitical events as the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil
War. Among her many books are My Disillusionment in Russia (1925) and
Living My Life (1931).
