<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Key essays, speeches, and strategies for self-emancipation from Italy's most important anarchist.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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.</p><p>In <i>The Method of Freedom</i>, 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, <i>The Method of Freedom</i> explores revolutionary violence and workplace democracy, the general strike and the limitations of trade unionism, propaganda by the deed, and the revolution in practice.</p><p><b>Errico Malatesta</b> Errico Malatesta (1853-1932) was an enormously influential Italian anarchist, comrade of Michael Bakunin in the First International, editor of eight newspapers, and author of numerous articles and short works.</p><p><b>Davide Turcato</b> is a computational linguist and an independent historian. He is the author of <i>Making Sense of Anarchism</i> and the editor of Malatesta's collected works, a ten-volume project currently underway in Italy, to be released in English by AK Press.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Errico Malatesta: Errico Malatesta (1853-1932) was an enormously popular Italian anarchist, perhaps most well-known for his strong support of direct action and the general strike.
