The first intellectual and social history of American anarchist thought and activism across the twentieth century In this highly accessible history of anarchism in the United States, Andrew Cornell reveals an astounding continuity and development across the century. Far from fading away, anarchists dealt with major events such as the rise of Communism, the New Deal, atomic warfare, the black freedom struggle, and a succession of artistic avant-gardes stretching from 1915 to 1975.Unruly Equality traces U.S. anarchism as it evolved from the creed of poor immigrants militantly opposed to capitalism early in the twentieth century to one that today sees resurgent appeal among middle-class youth and foregrounds political activism around ecology, feminism, and opposition to cultural alienation.

a comprehensive history of anarchist trends in the 20th century United States. Cornell takes the reader from the anarchists' heyday in the early decades of the century up to the anti-glbal capitalism movement of the 1990s. In between, he discusses the role anarchism played in the avant-garde, Beat and counterculture movements, while also explaining its influence in the antiwar, antiracist and feminist movements....an important and useful work.
