Bøker av Emma Goldman

Using reference from literature, history and religion this work points out the flaws and social crimes of society that holds it down from true freedom and progression. Although these views may be held as extreme by some there are many in today's world that hold that today's governments are corrupt and run by rich lobbyists. These views will force you to rethink your political views.

In 1919, at the height of the anti-leftist Palmer Raids conducted by the Wilson administration, the anarchist activist and writer Emma Goldman was deported to the nascent Soviet Union. Despite initial plans to fight the deportation order in court, Goldman eventually acquiesced in order to take part in the new revolutionary Russia herself. While initially supportive of the Bolsheviks, with some reservations, Goldman¿s firsthand experiences with Bolshevik oppression and corruption prompted her titular disillusionment and eventual emigration to Germany.In My Disillusionment in Russia, Goldman records her travels throughout Russia as part of a revolutionary museum commission, and her interactions with a variety of political and literary figures like Vladimir Lenin, Maxim Gorky, John Reed, and Peter Kropotkin. Goldman concludes her account with a critique of the Bolshevik ideology in which she asserts that revolutionary change in institutions cannot take place without corresponding changes in values.My Disillusionment in Russia had a troubled publication history, since the first American printing in 1923 omitted the last twelve chapters of what was supposed to be a thirty-three chapter book. (Somehow, the last chapters failed to reach the publisher, who did not suspect the book to be incomplete.) The situation was remedied with the publication of the remaining chapters in 1924 as part of a volume titled My Further Disillusionment in Russia. This Standard Ebooks edition compiles both volumes into a single volume, following the intent of the original manuscript.

This anthology organizes Emma Goldman's most relevant writings, speeches, and interviews for today's readers; includes a foreword by Vivian Gornick, an interview of Goldman by Nelly Bly, and a biographical timeline.

Draws together the most important of Emma Goldman's many writings on 'The Sex Question. 'The Sex Question' emerged for Goldman in multiple contexts, and we find her addressing it in writing on subjects as varied as women's suffrage, 'free love', birth control, the 'New Woman', homosexuality, marriage, love and literature. It was at once a political question, an economic question, a question of morality and a question of social relations. This unites her most important essays and archival material in an attempt to recreate Goldman's great work on sex and feminism.

Demokratie ist die heilige Kuh. Ist sie wirklich die beste, gar die einzige Methode, um Freiheit, Frieden und Wohlstand zu bewahren? Stefan Blankertz gibt, basierend auf Vorarbeiten u.a. von Emma Goldman und Gustav Landauer, notwendig provokative Antworten in einer Zeit, in der die Demokratie zwischen der Schere von Rechts und Links immer mehr die Form des schon überwunden geglaubten Totalitarismus annimmt. Der Titel »Verschwinde, Staat!« stellt eine Hommage dar an den Ethnologen von herrschaftsfreien Stämmen, Christian Sigrist.Der Band enthält einen Vortrag aus dem Jahr 1909 von Emma Goldman (1869-1940), russisch-amerikanische Anarchistin und Vorkämpferin des Feminismus, über »Minderheiten und Mehrheiten«, dem der Übersetzer Gustav Landauer den Titel »Die Masse« gab, sowie zwei Beiträge von Gustav Landauer (1870-1919), Sozialist und 1919 wegen seiner Beteiligung an der Münchner Räterepublik ermordet, über die Verwirrung des Staats mit der Nation aus den Jahren 1911 und 1915.

Emma Goldman is one of the most celebrated activists and philosophers of the early 20th century, admired and reviled for her anarchist ideas and vociferous support of free speech and personal liberation.A polarizing figure in life, Emma Goldman was among the first advocates of birth control for women. From 1900 to 1920 she was in and out of jail in the United States on charges of illegally promoting contraception, inciting riots in favor of her social and economic causes, and discouraging potential recruits to avoid the draft for World War I. Although Goldman initially supported the Bolshevik Revolution, the resulting Soviet Union's repressiveness caused an abrupt reversal in her opinion.Goldman's narrative is thorough yet compelling; her childhood in Russia, her emigration to the USA as a teenager, and her attraction to anarchist and social causes is told.
