Produktbeschreibung
Co-authors of the pamphlet "Deportation: Its Meaning and Menace" are Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, well-known activists in the early 20th-century radical and anarchist movements in the United States. The 1919 pamphlet tackles the contentious topic of deportation, discussing its ramifications and opposing its abuse as a means of quashing political dissent. The concept of deportation is scrutinized by the writers, who highlight its possible harm to civil liberties and its application as a tool for suppressing political activists and immigrants whom the government judged undesirable. They draw attention to particular incidents and situations in which deportation was used to quell opposition, frequently focusing on those who held extreme political views. Deportation, according to Berkman and Goldman, violates the values of justice and democracy and is a threat to the rights of expression, assembly, and association. They urge readers to oppose the improper use of deportation as a tool against people who have radical or unpopular opinions and instead support a more equitable and humanitarian strategy for dealing with political dissent.

Autorenporträt
Born in Vilna (modern-day Vilnius, Lithuania), Berkman entered the turbulent world of the labour movement and anarchist thought as soon as he arrived in the United States in 1888. His attempt to kill Carnegie Steel president Henry Clay Frick in 1892 during the Homestead Steel Strike earned him notoriety. During his fourteen years in prison, Berkman wrote a great deal. His ""Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist"" examined the inequalities in the American legal system as well as his personal experiences. Berkman had a long-lasting influence on the movement because of his commitment to anarchism and his criticism of the capitalist system. Born in Kovno, which is now Kaunas, Lithuania, Goldman came to the United States in 1885. Known as ""Red Emma,"" she became well-known for her persuasive writing and speaking, supporting a variety of causes like as free speech, women's emancipation, and workers' rights. Goldman, a major player in the labor movement, was crucial to the events of the Haymarket Affair in 1886. Her works and talks, such as ""Anarchism and Other Essays,"" struck a chord with readers and advocated for anarchism as a way to attain personal autonomy and social justice.
