Le temps et l’intelligence de presque tous est pris par la lutte quotidienne ; et ceux qui pensent en outre travailler un peu à côté (en dehors du travail indispensable pour le pain, et qui vole tant de temps à des hommes comme Bertoni, Brupbacher, moi, et tant d’autres) emploient ce temps­là à étudier ou à produire des œuvres. Il faut un cerveau tout spécial pour l’entreprise que vous rêvez – outre les autres conditions indispensables.

Comparisons are drawn between local and national developments within the ILGWU and the American labor movement in general. Surprisingly little effort has been made to test prevailing historical interpretations within specific cities-- especially those lying outside of the industrial northeast. Until more localized research is undertaken, the unique organizational struggles of thousands of working men and women will remain ill-understood. Differences in regional politics, economics, ethnicity, and leadership defy the application of broad-based generalizations. The Los Angeles ILGWU offers an excellent example of a group that did not conform to national trends. While the labor movement experienced remarkable success throughout much of the United States, the Los Angeles garment locals failed to achieve their basic goals. Although eastern clothing workers won every important dispute with owners and bargained from a position of strength, their disunited southern Californian counterparts languished under the counterattacks of business interests. No significant gains in ILGWU membership occurred in Los Angeles after 1933, and the open shop survived well iii into the following decade.

  • Educating the Seamstress: Studying and Writing the Memory of Work Maria Tamboukou
    Educating the seamstress: studying and writing the memory of work Maria Tamboukou University of East London, UK Bryn Mawr, August 4th, 1922 My dearest Comrade: This will be the last letter you will receive from Bryn Mawr. Next week this time, I will be with you again in the dusty city doing my daily work in the shop and spend- ing the evenings with you in the little office, planning to organize the non-organized. Really, dear comrade, when I look back into the past, not very long, oh say only two months ago, I find such a change in my thoughts…. Let me share with you my new discoveries. To begin with I might proudly say that the pulse of the US beats in Bryn Mawr at this very moment. We have students from each state and of course you will agree with me that each state has its own way of living, with its joys and sorrows; with its cus- toms, traditions etc that reflects on the children of that state … they use different methods, but they all love the work…. As an example I’ll take a state in the south, Tennessee. We have quite a few girls from there. Most of them are timid, have very little knowledge, general knowledge I mean…. Most of them are loyal members of the ‘Y’ which has sent them here and is supporting them financially. They know very little of the outside world, but you just tell them in the South the negro is discrimi- nated against, and you will hear them talk! They are born aristocrats and as such they cannot stand criticism of their deeds.

    MONDAY Praxis Poems: JUL 01 Radical Genealogies of Yiddish Poetry ANNA ELENA TORRES | Delivered in English This talk will survey the radical traditions of Yiddish poetry, focusing on anarchist poetics and the press. Beginning with the Labor poets, also known as the Svetshop or Proletarian poets, the lecture discusses the formative role of the anarchist press in the development of immigrant social worlds. Between 1890 and World War I, Yiddish anarchists published more than twenty newspapers in the U.S.; these papers generally grew out of mutual aid societies that aspired to cultivate new forms of social life. Fraye Arbeter Shtime (Free Voice of Labor)—which was founded in 1890 and ran until 1977, making it the longest-running anarchist newspaper in any language—launched the careers of many prominent poets, including Dovid Edelshtat, Mani Leyb, Anna Margolin, Fradl Shtok, and Yankev Glatshteyn. Yiddish editors fought major anti-censorship Supreme Court cases during this period, playing a key role in the transnational struggle for a free press. The talk concludes by tracing how the earlier Proletarian poets deeply informed the work of later, experimental Modernist writers. Anna Elena Torres is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago. Her forthcoming book is titled Any Minute Now The World Streams Over Its Border!: Anarchism and Yiddish Literature (Yale University Press). This project examines the literary production, language politics, and religious thought of Jewish anarchist movements from 1870 to the present in Moscow, Tel Aviv, London, Buenos Aires, New York City, and elsewhere. Torres’ work has appeared in Jewish Quarterly Review, In geveb, Nashim, make/shift, and the anthology Feminisms in Motion: A Decade of Intersectional Feminist Media (AK Press, 2018).

Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • John Nicholas Beffel Papers
    THE JOHN NICHOLAS BEFFEL COLLECTION Papers, 1943-1954, a few earlier 13 1/2 linear feet Accession No. 561 The papers of John Nicholas Beffel were received from the Workers Defense League in 1972. He handled special publicity assignments for that organization, and left his private papers with theirs, so that the bulk of his papers arrived among the papers deposited by the Workers Defense League. John Nicholas Beffel (c. 1895- ) Mr. Beffel, now retired, in New York City, was a writer, editor and publicist. He was born in Ottawa, Illinois. In his earlier years he worked as reporter for the Chicago Daily News, and the Detroit Free Press. Later he was a managing editor of the Toledo Times. He was a re- write and copy desk writer for the Chicago Herald-Examiner, the New York World, the New York Daily Call and the New York Herald Tribune. For two years he was publicity director for the American Civil Liberties Union, and then for the Brotherhood of Utility Employees. In 1936-1939 he was associated with the Brooklyn Public Relations Bureau. In 1944 he began to handle publicity for the Workers Defense League, and to do free-lance publicity work, and writing and editing. It is this later part of his career which is reflected in this collection. His own lists of the many books which he "ghosted," collaborated, or edited, will be found in Box 1, Folder 22. Important subjects in this collection include: Manuscripts of writings by: John Beffel, Slim Brundage, Joseph Cohen, Mini Corder, Paul Crouch, Covington Hall, Harry Kelly, Edith Liggett, Max Nettlau, Helen Parkhurst, Rose Pesotta, Ivan Sokoloff, Vincenzo Vacirca, and Voline, and manuscripts of fore- wards by John Dos Passos and Arturo Giovannitti.

    H-Socialisms Gilmore on Cornell, 'Unruly Equality: U.S. Anarchism in the Twentieth Century' Review published on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 Andrew Cornell. Unruly Equality: U.S. Anarchism in the Twentieth Century. Oakland: University of California Press, 2016. 416 pp. $85.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-520-28673-3; $29.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-520-28675-7. Reviewed by Oisin Gilmore (Humboldt University)Published on H-Socialisms (April, 2018) Commissioned by Gary Roth (Rutgers University - Newark) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=47721 Anarchism's Legacy The central aim of Andrew Cornell’s Unruly Equality: U.S. Anarchism in the 20th Century is to trace “the evolution of U.S. anarchism from one plateau—the Progressive Era—to another, the ‘long 1960s’” (p. 280). Cornell explains his rationale by noting that it is “commonplace to distinguish a period of classical anarchism (roughly 1860s to 1940) from a period of contemporary anarchism that was inaugurated in the late 1960s ... and continues into the present.” However, this sharp division between two periods of anarchism “suggests that the anarchist movement was nonexistent, or at least dormant, for a period of thirty to fifty years in the middle of the twentieth century.” The question then poses itself: how are these two periods of anarchism connected, if at all? Or as Cornell puts it: “How did anarchism transform from a class-focused movement based in poor immigrant communities before World War I to one that, in the last decades of the century focused on feminism, environmentalism, and cultural alienation while appealing primarily (but not solely) to native-born, white-middle-class youth?” Cornell addresses this by arguing that there is a “clear line of continuity” between the classical and contemporary modes of anarchism (p.
