Description: Sewing Freedom: Philip Josephs, Transnationalism & Early New Zealand Anarchism Very Good - Text Unmarked - Binding and Cover Clean and Tight - Illustrated - Wear to One Corner - Ready to Ship By -- Jared Davidson Published by -- AK Press, 2013, Edinburgh UK, 173 Pages, Illustrated, Trade Paperback, 8" X 5.5" X .4", 9 oz., ISBN -- 1849351325 / 9781849351324 "Sewing Freedom is the first in-depth study of anarchism in New Zealand during the turbulent years of the early 20th century-a time of wildcat strikes, industrial warfare and a radical working class counter-culture. Interweaving biography, cultural history and an array of archival sources, this engaging account unravels the anarchist-cum- bomber stereotype by piecing together the life of Philip Josephs-a Latvian-born Jewish tailor, antimilitarist and founder of the Wellington Freedom Group. Anarchists like Josephs not only existed in the Workingman's Paradise' that was New Zealand, but were a lively part of its labour movement and the class struggle that swept through the country, imparting uncredited influence and ideas. Sewing Freedom places this neglected movement within the global anarchist upsurge, and unearths the activities of New Zealand's most radical advocates for social and economic change. Includes illustrations by Icky of Justseeds and a foreword by Kate Sharpley Library archivist and Associate Editor of the Emma Goldman Papers, Barry Pateman." #CuttleboneBooks #TradeUnionism #GarmentWorkers #Bookworm #Books #booksale #JaredDavidson #PhilipJosephs #SewingFreedom #bibliophile #Antiquarian #bookcollecting #Anarchism #NewZealand #booksforsale #Bookstagram #instaread #IndustrialWarfare #instabooks #readersofinstagram #BooksBooksBooks #CoverArt #WildcatStrikes #collectiblebooks
