Essential reading in Jewish labor history, culture, and radicalism.
Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe once comprised the largest segment of the anarchist movement in the United States. Part historical excavation and part memoir, Joseph Cohen chronicles both well-known events and behind-the-scenes conflicts among radicals, as well as profiles of famous personalities like Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman and of the rank-and-file radicals who sustained the anarchist movement across North America from the 1880s to the 1940s.
The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America brings Joseph Cohen's irreplaceable 1945 Yiddish-language study of America's Jewish anarchists to an English-speaking audience for the first time and remains the most detailed examination of this neglected history.
The book also contains Cohen's own reflections on anarchist theory and tactics, based upon his experiences and observations over four decades. Edited and fully annotated, this edition includes a wealth of supplementary information about the people, places, and events central to American anarchist history.
