Transnational Radicals

Italian Anarchists in Canada and the U.S., 1915-1940
Language: English
Published/Copyright: 2015

About this book

Italian anarchism emerged in the latter half of the nineteenth century, during that country’s long and bloody unification. Often facing economic hardship and political persecution, many of Italy’s anarchists migrated to North America. Transnational Radicals examines the transnational anarchist movement that existed in Canada and the United States.

Reviews

Steve Izma:
“Although the book has a typical scholarly structure, Tomchuk has restructured what was originally a thesis and fleshed out a number of narratives and interviews into an engaging story. His straightforward, jargon-free survey of the related literature, demonstrating his broad knowledge of anarchism is one of the book’s delights.”

Nathan Jun:
“With these studies, Tomchuk and Zimmer have made significant contributions to the literature that will surely have a profound impact on the study of anarchist history going forward. I cannot recommend them strongly enough.”

M. Montserrat Feu López:
“Captures the entangled local and transnational history of anarchism and is likely to be an essential historical work for years to come.”

Scott Price:
“An important contribution to seeing the wider picture of the left in Canada, the importance of culture in the maintenance and expansion of political movements and an important contribution to the history of Anarchism in Canada and the U.S.”

Patryk Polec:
"Travis Tomchuck brings the anarchist movement in Canada and the United States to life from a transnational perspective. By shedding a nationallybound approach, Tomchuck is able to reconstruct some of the complex and influential international networks and relationships that were at the heart of the movement."

R.T. Ingoglia:
“No previous monograph has focused on Italian migrant anarchists, and Tomchuk has made a valuable contribution to both labor history and sociology.”

Jennifer Guglielmo:
"A groundbreaking contribution to the history of anarchism. Tomchuck brings to life the transnational networks and relationships that were at the heart of this movement among Italian migrant workers. By shedding light on the interwar period in particular, he teaches us a great deal about the continued signifiance of this movement even amid heightened and coordinated state repression."
