Now online: Five articles from MOTHER EARTH Vol. VI., No. 11 (January, 1912) posted by Rad Geek 21 May 2010 12:51 pm
I’m happy to announce that the Fair Use Repository now features five complete articles from the January, 1912 issue of Mother Earth:
- Blaming the Fester, a poem by Rebekah E. Raney
Observations and Comments, a regular feature in many issues of Mother Earth; the format is much like Tucker’s
On Picket Duty
— a sort of ongoing polemical Anarchist three-dot column that ran near the beginning of each issue.A Review of the Year by Harry Kelly — an overview and review of the upsurge in popular uprisings, general strikes and Anarchist revolutionary activity that broke out throughout the world in 1911.
The Mexican Revolution (Continued), by Voltairine de Cleyre, previously published separately here in the Fair Use Blog — part of a serialized discussion of the uprising against the Madero provisional government in Mexico, with discussions of the crimes of the Mexican government against the Yaquis, the revolution in the North (Baja California, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and Sonora) and South (Morelos, Chiapas, Tabasco, San Luis Potosi, and Yucatan), the victories of Emiliano Zapata, and the extreme importance of the peasants’ efforts to
ignore the machinery of paper land-holding
and reclaim the land they work.The Right to Live by M. B., on
the hollowness and sham of political rights
and the pivotal importance of the natural right to possess the means of existence.
These are the first set of articles to be put online from Mother Earth Volume VI. Number 11; more will come soon. I believe that the complete issue should be available online by the end of the next week.
Read, cite, and enjoy!
