New York City's identity as a cultural and artistic center, as a
point of arrival for millions of immigrants sympathetic to
anarchist ideas, and as a hub of capitalism made the city a unique
and dynamic terrain for anarchist activity. For 150 years, Gotham's
cosmopolitan setting created a unique interplay between anarchism's
human actors and an urban space that invites constant reinvention.
Tom Goyens gathers essays that demonstrate anarchism's endurance 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 city. Some offer important 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 City's anarchist tradition.
Contributors: Allan Antliff, Marcella Bencivenni, Caitlin Casey,
Christopher J. Castaneda, Andrew Cornell, Heather Gautney, Tom
Goyens, Anne Klejment, Alan W. Moore, Erin Wallace, and Kenyon
Zimmer.
