About This Item
New York. 1975. Schocken Books. 1st Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 080523537x. Edited by Richard Drinnon and Anna Maria Drinnon. 282 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Wendell Minor. keywords: Emma Goldman Politics America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - After Sacco and Vanzetti, the most famous American anarchists are Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. NOWHERE AT HOME is the story, told in their own words, of one of the most fascinating relationships of our time. Born a year apart in nineteenth-century Russia, they both grew up in an atmosphere deeply responsive to the dramatic acts against the state committed by earlier anarchists and nihilists. Yet they were not fated to meet until the late l880's as new Americans on New York's Lower East Side. They became lovers shortly after, and when Berkman stung by the injustice of the Homestead Steel strike, decided to kill Henry Clay Frick in Pittsburgh on behalf of the workers, Emma did not hesitate to become a streetwalker to get money for the gun. He succeeded, however, only in wounding Frick. He was sentenced to twenty-two years in prison and served fourteen, after which he wrote the classic Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist. With his release and reunion with Emma in 1906, there ensued an intense period of public battling over the vital issues of free speech and political oppression in a professedly democratic America, Their agitation in World War I over the newly instituted draft law climaxed in arrest and two-year sentences. inventory #22171 ISBN: 080523537x.
