Reviews

"[Rachel Hui-Chi] Hsu examines the early-20th-century anarchist movement in the US through a case study of the anarchist magazine Mother Earth (1906–17) and the main figure behind it, Emma Goldman (1869–1940), a Russian Jewish immigrant and prominent anarchist political activist. The book thematically presents Goldman's preferred political tactics and those of her associates." —Choice

“This is a remarkable and groundbreaking book. Hsu not only treats the ideas of Emma Goldman and her comrades with unusual depth and care, she also examines how these radicals’ multifaceted activities impacted—and continue to impact—the wider world. The result is a revelatory exploration of anarchism’s far-reaching but forgotten influence on American history.” —Kenyon Zimmer, author of Immigrants against the State

"Hsu’s holistic study of a familiar anarchist periodical breaks new ground by unlocking spatial and transnational dimensions and by examining anarchism’s reach beyond its milieu. How did anarchism gain a broader appeal? Read this book." —Tom Goyens, editor of Radical Gotham

"Emma Goldman, 'Mother Earth,' and the Anarchist Awakening demonstrates the substantial impact that anarchism had in the U.S. during what's called the classical era of the movement. By carefully analyzing Emma Goldman's journal Mother Earth, Rachel Hsu illuminates a fascinating and influential site of anarchist print culture in the early twentieth century." —Kathy E. Ferguson, author of Emma Goldman: Political Thinking in the Streets
