Guérin's classic anthology of anarchism translated and reprinted, available for the first time in a single volume. It details a vast array of unpublished documents, letters, debates, manifestos, reports, impassioned calls-to-arms, and reasoned analysis; the history, organization, and practice of the movement—its theorists, advocates, and activists; the great names and the obscure, towering legends and unsung heroes. This definitive anthology portrays anarchism as a sophisticated ideology whose nuances and complexities highlight the natural desire for freedom in all of us. These classic texts will re-establish anarchism as both an intellectual and practical force to be reckoned with. Includes writings by Emma Goldman, Kropotkin, Berkman, Bakunin, Proudhon, Malatesta, and others.
