| Title | Deported. Emma Goldman and the Russian Revolution |
| Summary | This thesis focuses on Emma Goldman and her criticism of the Russian Revolution. The research is oriented around the changes in Goldman’s thought after her departure from Russia. The main question of the research is how Goldman’s view of revolution was transformed under the influence of her experiences during two years of her stay in Russia. The method employed consists of reevaluating the letters Goldman wrote when she was in Russia and her memoirs of the Russian Revolution under the light of the current literature on Goldman’s life. The main finding of this study is Goldman’s new theory of revolution which can be briefly explained as a nonviolent process of reconstruction and education. This new view of revolution represents a significant revision if not a total break with her former belief in the necessity of violence in political change. |
