Immigrants against the State

Yiddish and Italian Anarchism in America

By: Kenyon Zimmer

From the 1880s through the 1940s, tens of thousands of first- and second-generation immigrants embraced the anarchist cause after arriving on American shores. Kenyon Zimmer explores why these migrants turned to anarchism, and how their adoption of its ideology shaped their identities, experiences, and actions. Zimmer focuses on Italians and Eastern European Jews in San Francisco, New York City, and Paterson, New Jersey. Tracing the movement's changing fortunes from the pre–World War I era through the Spanish Civil War, Zimmer argues that anarchists, opposed to both American and Old World nationalism, severed all attachments to their nations of origin but also resisted assimilation into their host society. Their radical cosmopolitan outlook and identity instead embraced diversity and extended solidarity across national, ethnic, and racial divides. Though ultimately unable to withstand the onslaught of Americanism and other nationalisms, the anarchist movement nonetheless provided a shining example of a transnational collective identity delinked from the nation-state and racial hierarchies.

The Life of Music

New Adventures in the Western Classical Tradition

By: Nicholas Kenyon

Nicholas Kenyon explores the enduring appeal of the classical canon at a moment when we can access all music—across time and cultures Immersed in music for much of his life as writer, broadcaster and concert presenter, former director of the BBC Proms, Nicholas Kenyon has long championed an astonishingly wide range of composers and performers. Now, as we think about culture in fresh ways, Kenyon revisits the stories that make up the classical tradition and foregrounds those which are too often overlooked. This inclusive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide highlights the achievements of the women and men, amateurs and professionals, who bring music to life. Taking us from pianist Myra Hess’s performance in London during the Blitz, to John Adams’s composition of a piece for mourners after New York’s 9/11 attacks, to Italian opera singers singing from their balconies amidst the 2020 pandemic, Kenyon shows that no matter how great the crisis, music has the power to bring us together. His personal, celebratory account transforms our understanding of how classical music is made—and shows us why it is more relevant than ever.

Islands in the Sand

Ecology and Management of Nearshore Hardbottom Reefs of East Florida

By: Daniel A. McCarthy,Kenyon C. Lindeman,David B. Snyder,Karen G. Holloway-Adkins

Nearshore hardbottom reefs of Florida’s east coast are used by over 1100 species of fishes, invertebrates, algae, and sea turtles. These rocky reefs support reproduction, settlement, and habitat use, and are energy sources and sinks. They are also buried by beach renourishment projects in which artificial reefs are used for mitigation. This comprehensive book is for research scientists and agency personnel, yet accessible to interested laypersons including beachfront residents and water-users. An unprecedented collection of research information and often stunning color photographs are assembled including over 1250 technical citations and 127 figures. These shallow reefs are part of a mosaic of coastal shelf habitats including estuarine seagrasses and mangroves, and offshore coral reefs. These hardbottom habitats are federally designated as Essential Fish Habitats - Habitats of Particular Concern and are important feeding areas for federally-protected sea turtles. Organismal and assemblage responses to natural and man-made disturbances, including climate change, are examined in the context of new research and management opportunities for east Florida’s islands in the sand.

By: Sir Nicholas Kenyon

Solidarité forever

Histoire globale du syndicat Industrial Workers of the World

By: Peter COLE,David STRUTHERS,Kenyon ZIMMER

Avec son slogan « Faire du tort à un seul, c’est faire du tort à tous », l’IWW a donné au concept de solidarité une définition très concrète. Ce slogan, à l’image des Wobblies eux-mêmes, a voyagé aux quatre coins du monde. Les luttes d’il y a un siècle résonnent encore dans les pays du Sud en voie d’industrialisation comme dans ceux du Nord en voie de désindustrialisation. Que les ouvriers du monde entier fassent vivre l’internationalisme et l’esprit des Wobblies, et alors ils seront assez puissants pour défier le capitalisme mondial.En plein déclin des organisations de lutte au travail et de l'État-providence, cette histoire internationale et globale d'un des syndicats aux revendications les plus ambitieuses revient aux sources d'un mouvement qui a essaimé dans le monde entier et rappelle l'urgence d’explorer des formes alternatives de pratique politique et syndicale.Peter Cole, David M. Struthers et Kenyon Zimmer, historiens américains spécialistes du syndicalisme, dirigent vingt contributeurs internationaux rendant compte de contextes aussi variés que la France, l'Inde, le Mexique, l'Australie ou la Finlande. Peter Cole enseigne l'histoire à l'université Western Illinois et est chercheur associé au Society, Work and Development Institute à l'université de Witwatersrand. Il est l'auteur de Wobblies on the Waterfront (Université of Illinois Press, 2007).David M. Struthers est professeur assistant à l'université de Copenhague.Kenyon Zimmer est professeur associé à l'université de Texas at Arlington. Il est l'auteur de Immigrants Against the State (University of Illinois Press, 2015).
