Anarchy!: An Anthology of Emma Goldman's Mother Earth by Peter Glassgold (Editor) List Price: $25.00 Our Price: $17.50 You Save: $7.50 (30%) Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours Paperback - (March 2001) 400 pages Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly In Anarchy!: An Anthology of Emma Goldman's Mother Earth, Peter Glassgold (author of the novel Angel Max) culls early 20th-century radical gems from the "Monthly Magazine Devoted to Social Science and Literature." The magazine appeared from 1906 through 1917, when postal censorship interfered. Shortly thereafter, Goldman was imprisoned and then deported to Russia. The entries are divided into categories like "The Woman Question" and "The Social War"; the book features pieces by radical celebrities like Leo Tolstoy ("America and Russia"), Margaret Sanger and Maxim Gorky and by regular contributors such as Alexander Berkman (Mother Earth's primary editor) and Goldman herself ("The White Slave Traffic"). Scholars and progressives will be pleased to find these luminaries of the "Lyrical Left." Eight pages of photos and illus. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Anarchism is back in the news, with the involvement of small anarchist cells in recent demonstrations against the World Bank and World Trade Organizations. Where interest in the American background of this movement is strong (pro or con), Glassgold's collection of articles from Goldman's Mother Earth will circulate. Goldman and her associates published the periodical for more than 10 years, from 1906 until 1917, when censorship by wartime postal authorities prevented distribution. The six groups of selections cover anarchist theory, "the woman question," literature, civil liberties, "the social war," and war and peace. In addition to Goldman and her New York circle, contributors include Kropotkin, Gorky, and Tolstoy; Errico Malatesta and Padraic Colum; and Margaret Anderson, Margaret Sanger, Floyd Dell, Don Marquis, Mabel Dodge, Eugene O'Neill, and Louise Bryant. A fascinating survey of the reactions of American anarchism's key players to significant issues and events of their time. Mary Carroll Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved From Library Journal Founded by Emma Goldman, Mother Earth magazine presented articles covering social, political, cultural, and historical issues from an anarchist perspective from 1906 to 1917, when it was stifled by wartime censorship. The journal also advocated action on such topics as women's rights, birth control, civil liberties, and social and economic justice. Glassgold (Angel Max) presents 95 articles, letters, poems, essays, stories, and other pieces from the journal. The articles are arranged in six sections covering anarchism, feminism, literature, civil liberties, social issues, and World War I and the Russian Revolution. Goldman, Max Baginski, Alexander Berkman, Margaret Sanger, Voltairine de Cleyre, Leo Tolstoy, and Eugene O'Neill are among the wide range of authors featured in this collection, which Glassgold opens with an excellent brief history of the publication. This anthology provides an exceptional presentation of early 20th-century anarchist ideas. For all academic and larger public library collections. Stephen L. Hupp, Urbana Univ., OH Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Book Description The first anthology to draw from the pages of Emma Goldman's Mother Earth, America's groundbreaking radical magazine In March 1906, Emma Goldman published the first issue of Mother Earth, a "Monthly Magazine Devoted to Social Science and Literature." Conceived as a forum for anarchists of every school and variety, Mother Earth laid the groundwork for American radical thought. It did more than report on the contemporary scene-it was part of the action-and its preoccupations preoccupy us still: birth control, women's rights, civil liberties, and questions of social and economic justice. Mother Earth appeared without interruption until August 1917, when it was killed by wartime postal censorship. Though Emma Goldman has since become a legendary figure, scarcely any material from her magazine has remained in print. This Mother Earth reader sets right this great wrong, and restores to public memory an important body of work-provocative writings by Margaret Sanger, Alexander Kropotkin, and dozens of other radical thinkers of the early twentieth century. About the Author Peter Glassgold's fiction, poetry, translations, essays, and reviews have appeared in such publications as Forward, The Nation, The New Leader, and Publishers Weekly. His most recent book, the novel Angel Max, was nominated for the 1998 America Award for Fiction. He lives in Brooklyn Heights, New York. Listmania!
