Left of the Left by Anatole Dolgoff

Sam Dolgoff, a house painter by trade, was at the centre of American anarchism for 70 years. Working from the age of 8, by the 1920s he was tireless campaigner for the IWW. He went on to become the author of numerous books, pamphlets and articles on anarchist theory, history, and the issues of the day. He remained active in radical New York City politics right up until his death in 1990. His story, told with passion and humour by his son, conjures images of a lost New York City and the blurred lines dividing proletarian and intellectual culture.
Anatole Dolgoff is the son of Esther and Sam Dolgoff, two of the most important anarchists in the United States in the twentieth century. As a child he had a front row seat to the world of labor radicalism and the colorful characters populated it. He has lived in New York City his entire life and teaches geology at the Pratt Institute.

Andrew Cornell is the author of Unruly Equality: U.S. Anarchism in the 20th Century and Oppose and Propose: Lessons from Movement for a New Society. He teaches at Williams College.
