Editorial Review Book Description In this play, historian and playwright Howard Zinn dramatizes the life of Emma Goldman, the anarchist, feminist, and free-spirited thinker who was exiled from the United States because of her outspoken views, including her opposition to World War I. With his wit and unique ability to illuminate history from below, Zinn reveals the life of this remarkable woman. As Zinn writes in his Introduction, Emma Godman "seemed to be tireless as she traveled the country, lecturing to large audiences everywhere, on birth control ("A woman should decide for herself"), on the falsity of marriage as an institution ("Marriage has nothing to do with love"), on patriotism ("the last refuge of a scoundrel") on free love ("What is love if not free?") and also on the drama, including Shaw, Ibsen, and Strindberg. This book will be of immense interest to feminists, American historians, and people interested in the long history of resistance and protest in the United States. Howard Zinn is professor emeritus at Boston University. He is the author of the classic A People's History of the United States. A television adaptation of the book is currently being co-produced by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Chris Moore for HBO. Zinn has received the Lannan Foundation Literary Award for Nonfiction and the Eugene V. Debs award for his writing and political activism. Zinn is the author of the internationally acclaimed play Marx in Soho, which has been touring the country in performance since its release. Customer Reviews (1)
Accurate and Needed but... The problem with play is that its intention seems to almost entirely consist in introducing readers to Goldman et al.Although that is a worthy aim, the play itself lacks the dramatic tension necessary to lend cohesion to its snapshots of Goldman's life.The play seems loosely organized around Berkman's incarceration and Goldman's erotic relationships.Because these events happened over several years, the play attempts to cover too much time and, consequently, lacks the dramatic intensity of a shortened time frame. Still, for anyone who loves and studies Goldman (as I do), this is a must read.It's clear that Zinn fully appreciates the greatness of this much-neglected radical. ... Read more |

It was Worth the Wait! This book continues the tradition of Bakunin (a contemporary of Marx) who argued that Marxism would lead to a state authoritarianism that would be just as exploitive and alienating as bourgeois capitalistic "democracies" if not more so.Goldman shows, as she would later argue in her essay "There is No Communism in Russia," that Marxist run economies and governments merely supplant the bourgeoisie as employer and coercive authority.They do not empower workers and communities to run their own affairs along free and cooperative socialistic lines. Like many leftists during her time, Goldman initially supported the communist accession to power as preferable to the Tsarist regime.But her support was largely based on reports given by communists in the pay of the Bolsheviks.Goldman was deported from the USA because she spoke publicly against the draft.Although she probably would have won the case, she decided not appeal the deportation order because she wanted to lend her services to the Russian people and their revoution.It required little time for her to realize that Bolshevik claims for progress belied the reality in Russia.Everywhere she saw evidence of mass starvation, extreme censorship, political oppression, cronyism, mass imprisonments and executions, and the tacit contempt the Russian people had for the Bolsheviks.Her descriptions of Lenin should help to settle oft-repeated lie that Stalin was a Leninist aberration.He was the natural, if more efficient, successor of Lenin. She deftly refutes the Marxian apologetic that only countries that have experienced extensive capitalistic development are best suited to enter into a revolutionary phase.If that is so, she asks, then why haven't England, Germany and the USA experienced the social revolution Marx predicted?She demonstrates that the Bolsheviks were more concerned with power than socialism and replaced the revolution with statism.The people, not the Bolsheviks, brought about the revolution in Russia, she argues.The Bolsheviks stole and then murdered it. The narrative style of this work makes it riveting and real.Readers will get a good sense of the distinction between the libertarian socialism advocated by anarchism and the faux socialism advocated by Marxism.This is a great book. ...

Red Emma's Mother Earth
A magnficent and long-overdue collection The book is separated into six sections: Anarchism, The Woman Question, Literature, Civil Liberties, The Social War, and War and Peace. Within these sections are articles by classic anarchist writers such as Alexander Berkman, Ben Reitman, Voltairine de Cleyre, Peter Kropotkin, and Goldman herself. There are also a number of works by writers you might not expect to appear in such a book: Eugene O'Neill (what is suspected to be his first publication), Ben Hecht, Louise Bryant, Margaret Sanger, and Maxim Gorky. Peter Glassgold provides an informative and readable introduction, and there is a comprehensive index as well as a section of photographs, mostly of the covers of issues of Mother Earth (some by Man Ray). Everyone interested in the history of anarchism, radical politics, and 20th-century thought should own this book. ... Read more |

Perfect service, a little over-packaged, new book
One of the most important books you'll ever read

Enjoyable book, fun to read, informative
Living Beyond Expectations Nevertheless, this eyewitness account of American and Russian history, ought not to be trivially dismissed. Emma fought for things we have taken for granted in modern life, such as birth-control and the eight-hour work day; she went to jail in the struggle to obtain these for us. This book explains how she lived her commitment to individual liberty, choosing who she would love, advocating revolution, and harrassing those of her "allies" who compromised on these principles. Perhaps the most interesting portion of the book is her years in Russia. Here she describes arriving at the "Promised Land" of the peoples' revolution and how that mutated into a sense of disillusionment and horror at what she saw as the betrayal of that revolution by the "dictatorship of the proletariat." Her writing style is nothing exceptional, but the story she weaves from the material of her life is nothing short of fascinating.Another reviewer suggested taking a break between volumes--I couldn't! I had to know what happened next. Although there are a lot of pages to wade through, I will give this book as a gift to the young women in my life. I believe that Emma can serve as a role model for living one's own life, not living out the expectations of friends, family, or society. In a dysfunctional world, we have too few people who model this. Emma gets three stars for writing style, but the powerful and plentiful content bring the rating up to five stars. Not to be missed.
