ITEM OVERVIEW
For those that can't wait for the unexpurgated full edition due out later this year from AK Press, we've secured a few (abridged) copies of the classic. Three hundred wonderful pages of interviews conducted over 30 years with everyone from Fermin Rocker to Sam Dolgoff, recounting memories of Emma Goldman, Sacco and Vanzetti, the modern schools, and beyond. "Avrich's strength has always been the love of his subject, a heavily but not exclusively ethnic, working-class libertarian movement... Avrich takes a utilitarian approach to oral history as a kind of backup for missing archival sources.....and achieves some wonderful results."—Paul Buhle, The Nation
