Lucy Parsons: Freedom, Equality & Solidarity: Writings & Speeches, 1878-1937, Paperback

Descriere

Cultural Writing. ``More dangerous than a thousand rioters `` That's what the Chicago police called Lucy Parsons--America's most defiant and persistent anarchist agitator, whose cross-country speaking tours inspired hundreds of thousands of working people. Her friends and admirers included William Morris, Peter Kropotkin, ``Big Bill`` Haywood, Ben Reitman, and Sam Dolgoff. And the groups in which she was active were just as varied: the Knights of Labor, IWW, Dil Pickle Club, International Labor Defense, and others. Here for the first time is a hefty selection of her powerful writings and speeches: on anarchism, women, race matters, class war, the IWW, and the U. S. injustice system. ``Lucy Parsons's writings are among the best and strongest in the history of U. S. anarchism``--Gale Ahrens.
