EMMA GOLDMAN: REVOLUTION AS A WAY OF LIFE
Listen to author Vivian Gornick in dialogue with Rabbi Ethan Witkovsky as they discuss her book, Emma Goldman: Revolution as a Way of Life. Emma Goldman is the story of a modern radical who took seriously the idea that inner liberation is the first business of social revolution. Her politics, from beginning to end, was based on resistance to that which thwarted the free development of the inner self. The right to stay alive in one’s senses, to enjoy freedom of thought and speech, to reject the arbitrary use of power—these were key demands in the many public protest movements she helped mount.
This event will be recorded. The recording will be posted at jewishlives.org/video within 2 weeks after the event.
