Overview

After escaping from forced residency on an island off the coast of Italy, Malatesta made his way to London and eventually Paterson, New Jersey, in 1899. Here, among thousands of weavers in the burgeoning silk industry, Malatesta contributed to the anarchist press and was caught up in intrigue with fellow Italian anarchists - resulting in a bullet to the leg on September 3, 1899. The second in our ten-volume Complete Works, it includes an introduction by the historian Nunzio Pernicone, written shortly before his death in 2013.

Author Information

ERRICO MALATESTA (1853-1932) is a principal figure of Italian and international anarchism. His sixty-year militancy, much of it spent in exile or in prison, spanned the foundation of the anarchist movement in 1872 to the eve of the Spanish Revolution. He has written ""bestsellers"" of anarchist literature, such as Between Peasants, Anarchy, and At the Café. However, his evolving anarchism--pragmatic, theoretically coherent, and as relevant today as it was a century ago--is best illustrated by the myriad of articles scattered in the anarchist press and collected for the first time in these Complete Works. DAVIDE TURCATO is a historian of Italian anarchism and the author of Making Sense of Anarchism. Nunzio Pernicone taught at Drexel University in Philadelphia and authored Carlo Tresca: Portrait of a Rebel and Italian Anarchism: 1864-1892. Paul Sharkey has translated a vast body of anarchist writings from numerous languages into English.
