<p>By Ruth Kinna and Clifford Harper.</p> <p>Read by Barbara Graham and Jim Donaghey.</p> <p>Malatesta is the living link between the demise of the First International in 1871 and the start of the struggle against European fascism some forty years later. As an anarchist-communist and organisationalist, Malatesta rejected individualism as gestural politics, and while he advocated workers’ self-organisation, he was cautious about syndicalism. But he was pragmatic rather than doctrinaire, and stood in solidarity with his opponents within the anarchist movement. Spending long stretches of time in exile, dodging arrest and escaping jail, he travelled widely in Europe, as well as Egypt, the US and Cuba, with periods of settlement in Italy, Argentina and the UK. Wherever he happened to be, he always played a prominent role in Italian anarchist politics, editing a series of highly influential newspapers and writing numerous popular pamphlets. His stature in the anarchist movement was demonstrated during the campaign to stop his threatened deportation from the UK, which drew a crowd of 15,000 to a meeting in Trafalgar Square in June 1912.</p> <p>Also available on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giptp0zTJzQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giptp0zTJzQ</a></p> <p>Download at Bandcamp - <a href="https://greatanarchists.bandcamp.com/">https://greatanarchists.bandcamp.com/</a></p> <p>The Great Anarchists pamphlet series is published by Dog Section Press and Active Distribution.

<p>By Ruth Kinna and Clifford Harper. </p> <p>Read by Barbara Graham and Jim Donaghey. </p> <p>Godwin was an eighteenth-century radical writer and journalist and one of the leading participants in the debates sparked by the French Revolution. Godwin is sometimes credited with being the first philosophical anarchist, but this underplays the character of the philosophy he advanced and the active role he took in politics. Like many of his contemporaries, Godwin understood publishing as a form of activism, an intervention into public debate that was intended to shape it and which also entailed risk. Today, Godwin is as likely to be remembered for his family connections as he is for his independent contributions to radical politics. He married Mary Wollstonecraft in 1797, was father to Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein), and his influence was felt strongly in the writing of his son-in-law, the Romantic revolutionary poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. </p> <p>Also available on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbAG8xUk7F8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbAG8xUk7F8</a></p> <p>Download at Bandcamp - <a href="https://greatanarchists.bandcamp.com/track/great-anarchists-william-godwin">https://greatanarchists.bandcamp.com/track/great-anarchists-william-godwin</a></p> <p>The Great Anarchists pamphlet series is published by Dog Section Press and Active Distribution.

<p>By Ruth Kinna and Clifford Harper. </p> <p>Read by Barbara Graham and Jim Donaghey. </p> <p>Born to an enslaved woman in 1851, Parsons explored class conflict through the prism of the American Civil War. A keen advocate of independent labour organising in the late nineteenth century, Parsons was active in the Knights of Labor and the anarchist International Working People’s Association. In 1905 she joined the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). She wrote regularly for the anarchist-socialist press and lectured across America, refusing to be cowed by police bans or arrests for riot that followed as a consequence of her defiance. Parsons spearheaded the defence campaigns for the accused of the Haymarket Square bombing, and frequently referred to the injustice of the trial to spotlight the steeliness of capitalist ‘slavocracy’.</p> <p>Also available at YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7I5Bot2GyU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7I5Bot2GyU</a></p> <p>The Great Anarchists pamphlet series is published by Dog Section Press and Active Distribution.
