Anarchy! is the first collection ever of work drawn from the pages of Mother Earth, the foremost anarchist journal published in America—provocative writings by Goldman, Margaret Sanger, Peter Kropotkin, Alexander Berkman, and other radical thinkers. For this expanded edition, editor Peter Glassgold adds a substantial section, “The Trial and Conviction of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman,” which includes a transcription of their eloquent and moving self-defense against trumped-up charges of wartime espionage. Glassgold’s lively introduction and commentary, together with photos and illustrations, a bibliography, and a thorough index, serve to make this landmark gathering a rich primer of American anarchism at the time of its greatest influence.
