Emma Goldman Ordre des livres

A Fragment of the Prison Experiences delivers an unflinching account of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman's imprisonment in Jefferson City State Prison and Atlanta Federal Penitentiary between 1918 and 1919. This collaborative memoir exposes the brutality of early 20th-century penal systems through the eyes of two iconic anarchists. Goldman's vivid recollections detail dehumanizing conditions, forced labor, and systemic oppression faced by political dissidents, while Berkman's essays dismantle pseudoscientific theories of criminality, arguing that crime stems from poverty and social inequities. The work includes firsthand documentation of their clashes with prison authorities, such as Berkman's public rebuttal to Warden Fred Zerbst, and critiques the Lombrosian myth of the «born criminal.» Interwoven with philosophical reflections on justice, this narrative serves as both a personal testimony and a radical call for prison reform. Its blend of memoir and polemic makes it indispensable for readers exploring political biographies, histories of social activism, and critiques of carceral institutions.

»Maron lächelt mich durch den Rauschebart flüchtig an und obwohl sein Gesicht halb verdeckt ist, habe ich es ganz vor Augen. Das hat man davon, wenn man einen Kerl jahrelang heimlich anschmachtet. Ich hoffe, der Bart ist genauso kratzig, wie er aussieht. Dann wird es wenigstens nicht nur für mich eine lange Woche.«Für Alexis ist es schlimm genug, dass sie vor Weihnachten in einem lächerlichen Elfenkostüm in der Mall arbeiten muss. Zu allem Überfluss stellt sie auch noch fest, dass ihr Santa niemand geringeres als Maron Fletcher ist, ihr langjähriger Highschool-Crush. Dieser ist über das unverhoffte Wiedersehen weitaus erfreuter als Alexis, denn an den betrunkenen One-Night-Stand, den sie ein Jahr zuvor hatten, kann er sich scheinbar nicht mehr erinnern. Ein Grund mehr für Alexis, ihn auf Abstand zu halten. Doch das ist schwieriger, als erwartet ...
