Publisher's Synopsis
Destruction and Violence! How is the ordinary man/woman to know that the most violent element is 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 pf "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 much more. They were prophetic when they were first published in 1910, but these writings demonstrate that even today Emma Goldman's thoughts have not yet seen their time come. A Collector's Edition.
