Bøker av Alexander Berkman

Co-authors of the pamphlet "Deportation: Its Meaning and Menace" are Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, well-known activists in the early 20th-century radical and anarchist movements in the United States. The 1919 pamphlet tackles the contentious topic of deportation, discussing its ramifications and opposing its abuse as a means of quashing political dissent. The concept of deportation is scrutinized by the writers, who highlight its possible harm to civil liberties and its application as a tool for suppressing political activists and immigrants whom the government judged undesirable. They draw attention to particular incidents and situations in which deportation was used to quell opposition, frequently focusing on those who held extreme political views. Deportation, according to Berkman and Goldman, violates the values of justice and democracy and is a threat to the rights of expression, assembly, and association. They urge readers to oppose the improper use of deportation as a tool against people who have radical or unpopular opinions and instead support a more equitable and humanitarian strategy for dealing with political dissent.
