Paul Avrich is Distinguished Professor of History at Queens College and the Graduate School, the City University of New York. His books include Sacco and Vanzetti, Anarchist Portraits, and The Haymarket Tragedy, all published by Princeton University Press.
"Anarchist Voices draws on interviews with native and foreign-born
anarchists that Avrich has been conducting over the past 30 years.
. . . Avrich's absorbing collection makes a vital contribution to
the history of the American left."
*Library Journal*
"The 180 interviewees in this oral history represent diverse
political tendencies--individualists, collectivists, pacifists,
revolutionaries. What unites them is an optimistic faith that
people will live in harmony once the impositions of government
disappear. . . . [Paul] Avrich profiles a movement that continues
to exercise an appeal with its calls for self-determination, direct
grass-roots action and voluntary cooperation."
*Publishers Weekly*
"Paul Avrich's Anarchist Voices . . . achieves some wonderful
results."
*The Nation*
"This gracefully edited study should interest all students of
American radicalism."
*Choice*
"The voices in Avrich's book help us to appreciate the central
point about anarchism--that it is a cry for social
justice."---Robert D'Attilio, Boston Book Review
