SECONDARY SOURCES

Goldman’s life and theory are extremely well-documented, and her papers are held at the Labadie Collection in Michigan, the International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam, and elsewhere. Among the most brilliant Goldman scholars is Kathy Ferguson, whose Emma Goldman: Political Thinking in the Streets takes her politics, philosophy, and aesthetics seriously.

Another exciting recent work is Clare Hemmings’ Considering Emma Goldman: Feminist Political Ambivalence and the Imaginative Archive (2018), which examines race, internationalism, and same-sex desire in Goldman’s writing and personal correspondence.

On the history of Jewish American and European anarchism more broadly, read the work of Paul Avrich, Kenyon Zimmer, and Barry Pateman. As a survey of anarchist history, the French-produced documentary No Gods, No Masters is excellent. The documentary Free Voice of Labor, focused on the New York-based Yiddish anarchist newspaper Fraye Arbeter Shtime, is freely available on YouTube. Fraye Arbeter Shtime was the longest-running anarchist newspaper in the world in any language, published from 1890 to 1977.
