In the 19th and 20th centuries, dozens of anarchist publications appeared throughout the United States despite limited financial resources, a pestering and censorial postal department, and persistent harassment, arrest, and imprisonment by the State. Such works energetically advocated a stateless society built upon individual liberty and voluntary cooperation. In Anarchist Periodicals in English Published in the United States (1833-1955): An Annotated Guide, Ernesto A. Longa provides a glimpse into the doctrines of these publications. This volume highlights the articles, reports, manifestos, and creative works of anarchists and left libertarians who were dedicated to propagandizing against authoritarianism, sham democracy, wage and sex slavery, and race prejudice. In the survey are nearly 100 newspapers produced throughout North America. For each entry, the following information is provided: title, issues examined, subtitle, editor, publication information, including location and frequency of publication, contributors, features and subjects, preceding and succeeding titles and an OCLC number to facilitate the identification of owning libraries via a WorldCat search. Excerpts from a selection of articles are provided to convey both the ideological orientation and rhetorical style of each paper's editors and contributors. Finally, special attention is given to highlighting the scope of anarchist involvement in combating obscenity and labor laws that abridged the right to freely circulate reform papers through the mails, speak on street corners, and assemble in union halls.

Ernesto A. Longa, assistant professor of law librarianship at the University of New Mexico School of Law at Albuquerque, uncovers the forgotten - to some, probably unsuspected - story of anarchist thought and action in the USA, as evidenced in well over a century of periodical publishing. Besides his academic expertise, Ernesto A. Longa has a distinguished pedigree as a civil rights activist: "Mr Longa founded Citizens for Police Review, co-founded the free Gainesville collective, worked as a volunteer with the Civic Media Center and the National lawyers Guild, interred with the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund and has participated in countless environmental, labor, and anti-capitalist marches and demonstrations". A thoroughly competent guide to American anarchist periodicals, and also a useful, engrossing introduction to anarchist thinking, transcending continental bounds. University researchers, teachers, and students of politics, philosophy, economics, and American history will welcome this pioneering, exemplary work of reference. Warmly recommended.
