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.

Moore, Erin Wallace, and Kenyon Zimmer"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A collection of scholarly essays focused on a sophisticated and historical examination of the anarchist traditions in politics, publishing, the arts, economic justice, and economic identity in New York City over the last 150 years. Tom Goyens argues that New York's identity as a cultural and artistic center, as a point of arrival for millions of immigrants, and as a hub of capitalism makes the city a unique and influential terrain for the study of anarchism, with special attention to how anarchism is situated physically, politically, and culturally in New York City. The collection includes essays on German, Italian, and Yiddish- and Spanish-speaking anarchists as well as anarchism in relation to religion, politics, and art. The collection culminates in an essay on how the Occupy Wall Street movement's general assemblies, decision making by hand signals, and alternative uses of space and resources demonstrate anarchist tendencies rooted in the immigrant radical communities of New York City"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Anarchism $z New York. $z New York. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Anarchism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Anarchism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00808387 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 700 1 $a Goyens, Tom, $d 1972- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Radical Gotham $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2017 $z 9780252099595 $w (DLC) 2017020906 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023847.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D5C91A8580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
