History

Europe

La anarquía (del italiano L'anarchia) es un conocido panfleto publicado en 1891 en el cual el italiano Errico Malatesta intenta explicar los principios fundamentales, y provee de argumentos persuasivos para su versión del anarquismo. Su pensamiento post-materialista abre una corriente, hasta el momento inexistente en la teoría anarquista, hecho que le llevará a un conflicto ideológico con el mismo Kropotkin al que considerará cercano al positivismo. Sus teorías influirán en las nuevas corrientes filosóficas que surgen a fines del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX en torno al neokantismo y neoidealismo.

Philosophy

Life and Ideas gathers excerpts from Malatesta’s writings over a lifetime of revolutionary activity. The editor, Vernon Richards, has translated hundreds of articles by Malatesta, taken from the journals Malatesta either edited himself or contributed to, from the earliest, L’En Dehors of 1892, through to Pensiero e Volontà, which was forced to close by Mussolini’s fascists in 1926, and the bilingual Il Risveglio/Le Réveil, which published most of his writings after that date. These articles have been pruned down to their essentials and collected under subheadings ranging from “Ends and Means” to “Anarchist Propaganda.” Through the selections Malatesta’s classical anarchism emerges: a revolutionary, nonpacifist, nonreformist vision informed by decades of engagement in struggle and study. In addition there is a short biographical piece and an essay by the editor.

For sixty years, Errico Malatesta's involvement with international anarchism helped fuel the movement's radical approach to class and labor, and directly impacted the workers' movement in Italy. A talented newspaper journalist, Malatesta's biting critiques were frequently short and to the point—and written directly to and for the workers. Though his few long-form essays, including "Anarchy" and "Our Program," have been widely available in English translation since the 1950s, the bulk of Malatesta's most revolutionary writing remains unknown to English-speaking audiences.
In The Method of Freedom, editor Davide Turcato presents an expansive collection of Malatesta's work, including new translations of existing works and a wealth of shorter essays translated here for the first time. Offering readers a thorough overview of the evolution of Malatesta's revolutionary thought during his half a century as an anarchist propagandist, The Method of Freedom explores revolutionary violence and workplace democracy, the general strike and the limitations of trade unionism, propaganda by the deed, and the revolution in practice.

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. From the columns of Questione Sociale, he addressed the themes of organization, the anarchist program, freedom as a method, the problem of love, bourgeois influences of anarchism, and much more. Incorporating Malatesta’s articles on the American situation, unpublished interviews, and reports on French and Spanish conferences—such as those held in Cuba in March 1900—this volume demonstrates the transnational dimension of Malatesta's activity, the breadth of his views and experiences, and his prominent role in labor and anarchist movements on both sides of the Atlantic. Includes an introduction by the late historian Nunzio Pernicone.

Malatesta’s crystalline prose is a continuous investigation of the workings of power and the morality of the society to be built. Reading Malatesta’s pages and studying his life are invaluable experiences.” Roberto Saviano, author of GomorrahA remarkable work of fundamental importance. Malatesta made a clear choice.” Angelo del Boca, Italian resistance fighter and co-author of Fascism TodayMalatesta is one of the few thinkers who are really necessary in these times of surrender to power and capital. His work bears witness to an indeed long and patient struggle against the gloomy spectres of oppression.” Vittorio Giacopini, journalist and broadcasterAn important, gigantic work, commensurate with the man who wrote these texts.”Isabelle Felici, Paul Valéry UniversityERRICO MALATESTA (18531932) 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 anarchismpragmatic, theoretically coherent, and as relevant today as it was a century agois best illustrated by the myriad of articles scattered in the anarchist press and collected for the first time in these Complete Works.This volume focuses on the crucial years in Errico Malatesta’s life when he returned to Italy from his London exile to elaborate his ideas in the columns of L’Agitazione. Responding to what he saw as the unrealistic insurrectionism and isolation into which anarchism had fallen, Malatesta advocated a long and patient work to prepare and organize the people,” through which anarchism would operate in broad daylight to entrench itself in the workers’ movement.DAVIDE TURCATO is a historian of Italian anarchism and the author of Making Sense of Anarchism.PAUL SHARKEY has translated a vast body of anarchist writings from numerous languages into English.
