One of the most risible features of rock culture is to see youthful entertainers proclaiming themselves to be anarchists. They should be made to read Fermin Rocker's The East End Years (Freedom Press £7.95). Rocker is a painter and book illustrator who was brought up in a Jewish anarchist family in London's East End. Now in his 90th year, Rocker relates his father's political activities - the marches, the speeches in Hyde Park, the "Siege of Sidney Street" and his father's internment during the First World War. This is real history - a time and a place brought to life through description of human feelings.
Rudolf Rocker, a German Catholic fleeing political persecution, moved to London to become the acknowledged leader of the Yiddish-speaking Jewish anarchists. There, at a time of mass immigration by impoverished Jews--persecuted by a right-wing press and an "anti-alien" movement--he organized demonstrations of up to 25,000 against the contemporary Russian pogroms. Rocker established the Jewish Bakers Union in a community action where housewives would only buy union label bread, and most famously, in 1912, organized a general strike of Jewish tailors, which abolished the sweatshop system.The London Years is the autobiography of a remarkable man and chronicles this vanished world. Rudolf Rocker, the main theorist of anarcho-syndicalism, edited numerous Yiddish political and cultural journals. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
