Description
Summary:A socialist garnered significant support in the Democratic Party; white supremacists endorsed the Republican candidate. [...]while Zimmer treads some familiar ground here-in particular, the work of Michael Miller Topp and Jennifer Guglielmo-his mapping of immigrant anarchism goes beyond these scholars to an account that covers not only the northeast corridor but vibrant communities on the West Coast.1 Tracing the history of anarchism complicates radical history in ways that decenter the Communist Party as the inevitable end of the U.S. Left. While that history often dwells on the martyred Sacco and Vanzetti, Zimmer's account stresses that anarchism had a more robust and pervasive presence in the United States. [...]as Zimmer asserts, the association of anarchism with the immigrant community was not a xenophobic slur but a realistic assessment of anarchism's likely influence and audience.
