(en) France, UCL AL #366 - Culture - Read: Hélène Aldeguer and Léa Gauthier, "Emma Goldman, Woman and Anarchist" (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

A free but faithful adaptation of Emma Goldman's autobiography,
published by L'Échappée in 2018. ---- A refugee in Saint-Tropez in 1928,
stateless and silenced, surrounded by her supportive and devoted family,
"the most dangerous woman in the United States" devoted herself entirely
to organizing and editing her memoirs, from her arrival in New York in
1889, her first encounters with anarchist activists, her first steps as
a public speaker, her time behind bars... to her exile in Russia where
she faced the Bolsheviks' hijacking of the revolution. The task was
immense for the author, as 10,000 pages of handwritten notes awaited her!
Léa Gauthier has skillfully captured the essence of a rich and complex
life, cleverly dividing it into two narrative levels: a direct account,
faithfully reporting a selection of significant events, and a second
that focuses more on the context of the writing process and features
other characters, whose reflections and debates enrich the narrative and
allow for commentary. This alternation is underscored by the contrast
between the two color palettes chosen by Hélène Aldeguer: softer and
cooler for the scenes from the past, and brighter and warmer for the
sequences on the French Riviera.
We understand the importance of the struggles that drove Emma Goldman
throughout her life: for women, against imprisonment, against war and
nationalism, against capitalism, for respect for political rights, and
against persecution... in short: for anarchism.
A fitting tribute to her tireless fight for emancipation, which remains
as relevant as ever, and to her hopes that future generations will carry
it on.
