Description

American Anarchism by Steve J. Shone is a work of political theory and history that focuses on 19th century anarchism in America, together with two European anarchists who influenced some of the Americans. The nine thinkers discussed are Alexander Berkman, Voltairine de Cleyre, Samuel Fielden, Luigi Galleani, Peter Kropotkin, Lucy Parsons, Max Stirner, William Graham Sumner and Benjamin Tucker. Shone emphasises the value of using ideas from 19th-century American anarchism to solve contemporary political problems.
