Description

New York Town’s identity as a cultural and inventive center, as some extent of arrival for millions of immigrants sympathetic to anarchist ideas, and as a hub of capitalism made the town a novel and dynamic terrain for anarchist activity. For 150 years, Gotham’s cosmopolitan setting created a novel interplay between anarchism’s human actors and an urban house that invites constant reinvention. Tom Goyens gathers essays that demonstrate anarchism’s staying power as a political and cultural ideology and movement in New York from the 1870s to 2011. The authors cover the gamut of anarchy’s emergence in and connection to the town. A few be offering essential new insights on German, Yiddish, Italian, and Spanish-speaking anarchists. Others explore anarchism’s influence on religion, politics, and the visual and performing arts. A concluding essay looks at Occupy Wall Street’s roots in New York Town’s anarchist tradition. Contributors: Allan Antliff, Marcella Bencivenni, Caitlin Casey, Christopher J. CastaƱeda, Andrew Cornell, Heather Gautney, Tom Goyens, Anne Klejment, Alan W. Moore, Erin Wallace, and Kenyon Zimmer.
