94: Anarchism, A US History

Kenyon Zimmer is an associate professor of History at the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Zimmer specializes in transatlantic migration, political radicalism, and labor history in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. His research centers on the connections between migration, race and ethnicity, and radical social movements.  

For today’s show we’ll be focusing on the history of Anarchism as a political philosophy, how Anarchism has manifested itself as a political movement in US history, and we’ll spend a good deal of time breaking down what Anarchism is, what it is not, and how its principles can be implemented, both by individuals and by groups.
