Foreword by Leon Litwack. 675 pages. hardcover. keywords: Politics Women Biography Emma Goldman. DESCRIPTION - This definitive multivolume work, which differs significantly from Goldman's autobiography, presents original textsa significant group of which are published in or translated into English for the first timeanchored by rigorous contextual annotations. The distillation of years of scholarly research, these volumes include personal correspondence, newspaper articles, government surveillance reports from America and Europe, dramatic court transcripts, unpublished lecture notes, and an array of other rare items and documentation. Biographical, newspaper, and organizational appendixes are complemented by in-depth chronologies that underscore the complexity of Goldman's political and social milieu. The first volume, Made for America, 1890 - 1901, tracks the young Emma Goldman's introduction into the anarchist movement, features her earliest known writings in the German anarchist press, and charts her gradual emergence from the radical immigrant circles of New York City's Lower East Side into a political and intellectual culture of both national and international importance. Goldman's remarkable public ascendance is framed within a volatile period of political violence: within the first few pages, Henry Clay Frick, the anti-union industrialist, is shot by Alexander Berkman, Goldman's lover; the book ends with the assassination of President William McKinley, an act in which Goldman was falsely implicated. The documents surrounding these events shed light on difficult issuesand spark an important though chilling debate about Goldman's strategy for reconciling her 'beautiful vision' of anarchism and the harsh realities of her times. inventory #35110.
