Produktbeschreibung

After escaping from forced residency on an island off the coast of Italy, Malatesta made his way to London and eventually Paterson, New Jersey, in 1899. Here, among thousands of weavers in the burgeoning silk industry, Malatesta contributed to the anarchist press and was caught up in intrigue with fellow Italian anarchists-resulting in a bullet to the leg on September 3, 1899. From the columns of Questione Sociale, he addressed the themes of organization, the anarchist program, freedom as a method, the problem of love, bourgeois influences of anarchism, and much more. Incorporating Malatesta's articles on the American situation, unpublished interviews, and reports on French and Spanish conferences-such as those held in Cuba in March 1900-this volume demonstrates the transnational dimension of Malatesta's activity, the breadth of his views and experiences, and his prominent role in labor and anarchist movements on both sides of the Atlantic. Includes an introduction by the late historian Nunzio Pernicone.

Autorenporträt

ERRICO MALATESTA (1853-1932) is a principal figure of Italian and international anarchism. His sixty-year militancy, much of it spent in exile or in prison, spanned the foundation of the anarchist movement in 1872 to the eve of the Spanish Revolution. He has written 'bestsellers' of anarchist literature, such as Between Peasants, Anarchy, and At the Café. However, his evolving anarchism--pragmatic, theoretically coherent, and as relevant today as it was a century ago--is best illustrated by the myriad of articles scattered in the anarchist press and collected for the first time in these Complete Works.
