Bringing together original historical research on the radical press and close readings of Yiddish avant-garde poetry by Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Peretz Markish, Yankev Glatshteyn, and others, I show that the development of anarchist modernism was both a transnational literary trend and a complex worldview. My research draws from hitherto unread material in international archives to document the world of the Yiddish anarchist press and assess the scope of its literary influence. The dissertation’s theoretical framework is informed by diaspora studies, gender studies, and translation theory, to which I introduce anarchist diasporism as a new term.

  • Any Other Immoral Purpose: the Mann Act, Policing Women, and the American State, 1900 – 1941
    Any Other Immoral Purpose: The Mann Act, Policing Women, and the American State, 1900 – 1941 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jessica Rae Pliley, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Susan M. Hartmann, Advisor Paula Baker Kevin Boyle Copyright by Jessica Rae Pliley 2010 Abstract This study explores the White Slave Traffic Act of 1910, commonly known as the Mann Act, a federal law that outlawed taking woman or girl over state lines for the purposes of prostitution, debauchery, or “any other immoral purpose.” It traces the international origins of the anti‐white slavery movement; looks at the anti‐ slavery origins and rhetoric of the anti‐white slavery movement; and contextualizes the American anti‐white slavery movement in a broader context of American colonial and racial politics. It then examines the Immigration Bureau’s experiments and investigations into white slavery, conceived by the bureau as foreign prostitution, to show how the Immigration Bureau agitated for greater border controls throughout the United States. At the center of this dissertation is the Bureau of Investigation’s enforcement of the White Slave Trafficking Act. Throughout the 1910s bureau agents struggled with how to enforce the statute: was it a law intended to protect young women from nonwhite men or police young women who in the changing sexual culture were increasingly experimenting with sexuality? In the course of the decade, the bureau experimented with ways to expand its reach while trying to contain prostitutes by tracking prostitutes who crossed state lines.

  • All Power to the Councils! a Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918-1919
    PRAISE FOR All Power to the Councils! A Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918-1919 Gabriel Kuhn’s excellent volume illuminates a profound global revolutionary moment, in which brilliant ideas and debates lit the sky, and from which emerged the likes of Ret Marut, a.k.a. B. Traven, perhaps history’s greatest proletarian novelist. Herein lie the roots of TheTreasure of the Sierra Madre and much else besides. —Marcus Rediker, author of Villains of all Nations and The Slave Ship This remarkable collection, skillfully edited by Gabriel Kuhn, brings to life that most pivotal of revolutions, crackling with the acrid odor of street fighting, insurgent hopes, and ulti- mately defeat. Had it triumphed, millions would have been spared the inferno of fascism; its failure ushered in counter- revolution far beyond its borders. In an era brimming with anticapitalist aspirations, these pages ring with that still unmet revolutionary promise: I was, I am, I shall be. —Sasha Lilley, author of Capital and Its Discontents and co-author of Catastrophism Drawing on newly uncovered material through pioneering archival historical research, Gabriel Kuhn’s powerful book on the German workers’ councils movement is essential reading to understanding the way forward for democratic worker con- trol today. All Power to the Councils! A Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918–1919 confers important lessons that will avert the setbacks of the past while providing pen- etrating and invaluable historical documentation crucial for anticipating the inevitable dangers in the struggle for building working class democracy. —Immanuel Ness, Graduate Center for Worker Education, Brooklyn College An indispensable resource on a world-historic event.

  • Anarchism, Syndicalism and Anti-Imperialism
    Anarchism, Syndicalism and Violent Anti-imperialism in the Colonial and Post-colonial World, 1870-1940 Professor Lucien van der Walt, Sociology, Rhodes University, South Africa [email protected] Paper for Politics Seminar, Rhodes University, 22 August 2014.1 DRAFT: please contact me if you wish to cite. As an influential current of radical dissent in the period 1870s-1940s, the anarchist / syndicalist movement was international in conception, intent and structure; straddling the colonial, post-colonial, and imperial countries, it was also deeply anti-imperialist in theory and practice – playing a major role that has been effaced in later nationalist and Marxist narratives. The aims of this paper are, firstly, to recover the role of anarchist and (revolutionary and anarcho-) syndicalist movements in anti-imperialist, anti-colonial and national liberation struggles in the colonial and post-colonial world. This includes a discussion of different strategic approaches to these struggles, which shaped the form and intention of involvement. This paper, secondly, examines the role of revolutionary violence in anarchist and syndicalist involvement in these struggles. A typology of violent modes is developed – ranging from “insurrectionist” assassinations, to popular militias, to participation in broad armed fronts –and a basic distinction between the movement's “insurrectionist” wing (best known for its violent "propaganda by the deed" from the 1890s to the 1920s) and its predominant “mass” anarchist / syndicalist wing (which stressed large-scale, pragmatic and patient organising) is developed. Explanations for the use of revolutionary violence – which was by no means typical of the movement, but which took place on a scale far more significant than often recognised – are also outlined.
