{"product_id":"anarchism-and-other-essays-9780486224848","title":"Anarchism and Other Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1890s and for years thereafter, America reverberated with the name of the notorious Anarchist, feminist, revolutionist, and agitator, Emma Goldberg. A Russian Jewish immigrant at the age of 17, she moved by her own efforts from seamstress in a clothing factory to internationally known radical lecturer, writer, editor, and friend of the oppressed. This book is a collection of her remarkably penetrating essays, far in advance of their time, originally published by the \u003ci\u003eMother Earth\u003c\/i\u003e press which she founded.\u003cbr\u003eIn the first of these essays, \u003ci\u003eAnarchism: What It Really Stands For\u003c\/i\u003e, she says, Direct action, having proven effective along economic lines, is equally potent in the environment of the individual. In \u003ci\u003eMinorities Versus Majorities\u003c\/i\u003e she holds that social and economic well-being will result only through the non-compromising determination of intelligent minorities, and not through the mass. Other pieces deal with \u003ci\u003eThe Hypocrisy of Puritanism\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003ePrisons: A Social Crime and Failure\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Psychology of Political Violence\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Drama: A Powerful Disseminator of Radical Thought\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003ePatriotism: A Menace to Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Tragedy of Woman's Emancipation\u003c\/i\u003e. A biographical sketch by Hippolyte Havel precedes the essays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnarchism and Other Essays\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fascinating look into revolutionary issues at the turn of the century, a prophetic view of the social and economic future, much of which we have seen take place, and above all, a glimpse into the mind of an extraordinary woman: brilliant, provocative, dedicated, passionate, and what used to be called high-minded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-128306\"\u003eEmma Goldman\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.44w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486224848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486224848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL042040\"\u003ePolitical Ideologies | Radicalism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42708241613037,"sku":"9780486224848","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_4d442fa3-f6b1-4f6b-8016-f11c46e8055c.jpg?v=1650087234","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/anarchism-and-other-essays-9780486224848","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
