About the author
Alexander Berkman
69 books107 followersAlexander Berkman was an anarchist known for his political activism and writing. He was a leading member of the anarchist movement in the early 20th century.
Berkman was born in Vilna in the Russian Empire (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania) and emigrated to the United States in 1888. He lived in New York City, where he became involved in the anarchist movement. He was the lover and lifelong friend of anarchist Emma Goldman. In 1892, Alexander Berkman tried to assassinate Henry Clay Frick for his role in violently suppressing the Homestead Steel Strike for which he served 14 years in prison. His experience in prison was the basis for his first book, Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist.
After his release from prison, Berkman served as editor of Goldman's anarchist journal, Mother Earth, and he established his own journal, The Blast. In 1917, Berkman and Goldman were sentenced to two years in jail for conspiracy against the newly instated draft. After their release from prison, they were arrested—along with hundreds of others—and deported to Russia. Initially supportive of that country's Bolshevik revolution, Berkman soon voiced his opposition to the Soviet's use of terror after seizing power and their repression of fellow revolutionaries. In 1925, he published a book about his experiences, The Bolshevik Myth.
While living in France, Berkman continued his work in support of the anarchist movement, producing the classic exposition of anarchist principles, Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism. Suffering from ill health, Berkman committed suicide in 1936.

livre didactique très simplement écrit, qui m'a apporté beaucoup de clés pour comprendre certains fondements de l'anarchisme ou du communisme, les bases du sujets. Certaines idées ont étés un peu répétées à tort et à travers, mais bon j'imagine que ça rentre plus du coup, bien que ça rende la lecture un peu longue. Le contexte de l'écriture du texte fait qu'il a des limites, évidemment parce que la pensée a évoluée maintenant et heureusement. C'est néanmoins intéressant et instructif de lire un texte destiné aux ouvriers américains des années 30, avec toutes les références, évènements, personnalités politiques, et mouvements qui vont avec.
