Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman är en av anarkismens och kvinnorörelsens stora gestalter. Hon blev personlig vän med Louise Michel och Pjotr Kropotkin och många, många fler av dåtidens radikaler, anarkister och modernister i Amerika, Europa och Ryssland. Som uppmärksammad agitator och feminist föreläste "Röda Emma" över hela USA om fri kärlek och födelsekontroll, om statens förtryck av individer och om den nya litteraturen. Hon trakasserades och fängslades och utvisades slutligen till Sovjetunionen, där hon mötte bland andra Lenin, Gorkij, Kropotkin och Kollontaj. Besviken på den unga Sovjetstaten ? där revolutionen redan börjat stelna till statsbyråkrati ? lämnade Emma Goldman landet efter ett par år. Resten av sitt liv levde hon i exil i Europa. Anarkistiska minnen är ett utdrag ur Emma Goldmans mer omfattande självbiografi som inte bara är en viktig socialpolitisk historik, utan också ett kulturhistoriskt dokument av stort intresse. I denna självbiografi skildrar hon sitt äventyrliga liv i USA och Sovjetunionen under ett par händelserika decennier före och efter sekelskiftet 1800-1900. Anarkistiska minnen är en levande och närvarande klassiker. Emma Goldman lyckas återberätta sina erfarenheter så som bara en stor författare förmår.

Marriage and Love by Emma Goldman is a thought-provoking and insightful essay that explores the complex and often controversial topics of marriage and love. Drawing upon her own personal experiences and observations, Goldman challenges traditional notions of marriage and argues that it is an oppressive institution that stifles individual freedom and creativity. She also examines the role of love in relationships and argues that it should be based on mutual respect, shared values, and a deep understanding of one another's needs and desires. Throughout the book, Goldman provides a compelling critique of the societal norms and expectations that shape our understanding of love and marriage, and offers a powerful vision for a more just and equitable future. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of love, relationships, and social justice. This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.

After being deported from the United States to Russia in 1920, Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman witnessed first-hand the contradictions of Lenin's so-called "dictatorship of the proletariat," the murder and imprisonment of Russian anarchists, and Trotsky's lethal suppression of the 1921 Kronstadt Uprising. While the two revolutionaries had initially offered critical support to the Bolshevik regime, the tyranny they witnessed in the so-called "worker's state" reaffirmed their belief that true social revolution can never be managed or manipulated by political parties seeking state power. When they escaped Russia in 1922, Goldman and Berkman authored numerous pamphlets and articles about what they had seen, and each published a diary of their experiences. Their work in this period had international impact among anarchists and other revolutionaries who were beginning to view Lenin's Russia more critically. To Remain Silent is Impossible collects many of these anarchists' most important essays, pamphlets, and diary entries related to the Russian Revolution.

Nel suo articolo, What I Believe (Cio che io credo), pubblicato dal New York World il 19 luglio 1908, scritto in risposta alla vasta disinformazione pubblica riguardante l'anarchia e il movimento anarchico, Emma Goldman contrasta sistematicamente le calunnie contro di lei e descrive a grandi linee il suo approccio anarchico alle questioni relative alla proprieta, al governo, al militarismo, alla liberta di opinione e di stampa, alla chiesa, al matrimonio e l'amore, alla violenza.
