Anarchists, 1870 - 1990

This series contains pamphlets, treatises, speeches, and memoirs by and about some of the major figures in worldwide anarchism. The materials show the vibrant discussion of anarchist issues, both in the United States and worldwide, much of it carried out while governments were trying to combat anarchist ideas. The series carries a number of publications by Emma Goldman, perhaps the key figure in American anarchist thought. Some of these items are published by the Mother Earth Publishing Association, founded by Goldman in 1906. There is also an exhibit for a UCLA exhibit about Goldman noting thefiftieth anniversary of her 1940 death. The work of other noted figures of anarchism include Guy Aldred, Alexander Berkman, Peter Kropotkin, and Errico Malatesta. The materials are arranged alphabetically by name.
