The Method of Freedom
Book (italiano):
<DIV><p>For sixty years, Errico Malatesta's involvement with international anarchism helped fuel the movement's radical approach to class and labor, and directly impacted the workers' movement in Italy. A talented newspaper journalist, Malatesta's biting critiques were frequently short and to the point?and written directly to and for the workers. Though his few long-form essays, including "Anarchy" and "Our Program," have been widely available in English translation since the 1950s, the bulk of Malatesta's most revolutionary writing remains unknown to English-speaking audiences.</p><p>In <I>The Method of Freedom</I>, editor Davide Turcato presents an expansive collection of Malatesta's work, including new translations of existing works and a wealth of shorter essays translated here for the first time. Offering readers a thorough overview of the evolution of Malatesta's revolutionary thought during his half a century as an anarchist propagandist, <I>The Method of Freedom</I> explores revolutionary violence and workplace democracy, the general strike and the limitations of trade unionism, propaganda by the deed, and the revolution in practice.</p><p><B>Errico Malatesta</B> (1853?1932) was an enormously popular Italian anarchist, perhaps most well-known for his strong support of direct action and the general strike. A talented newspaper journalist and editor, Malatesta spent much of his life exiled from Italy because of his political beliefs.</p><p><B>Davide Turcato</B> is a computational linguist and an independent historian. He is the author of <I>Making Sense of Anarchism</I> and the editor of Malatesta's collected works, a ten-volume project currently underway in Italy, to be released in English by AK Press.</p></DIV>
