BIBLIOGRAPHY

In this volume Professor Rediker brings together slightly revised versions of conference papers and previously published essays and book chapters on the following themes: forms and functions of sailors' storytelling; seaman Edward Barlow and the sea as a place of work; the life of the indentured servant Henry Pitman (who used the sea as a place of escape); early eighteenth-century pirates and the sea as a place of an alternative social order; rebellious multi-ethnic crews in the run-up to the American Revolution; suicide attempts and other forms of resistance among Africans on slave ships; and the Amistad rebellion. Aiming to explain the leftist electoral successes in several Latin American countries since the late twentieth century, in this book Professor Queirolo explores the influence of market-oriented economic reforms on Latin Americans' voting for left-leaning parties, and examines whether voters' current preference for leftist parties results from ideological views or from discontent with traditional parties and poor economic performance. Political extremism has a long tradition in the United States, according to the editor of this book, which features ten case studies of contemporary single-issue extremism in the United States: the Tea Party and the far right; the contemporary anarchist and anti-globalization movement; the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense; the Chicano separatist movement; Islamic extremism; terrorism by Jewish extremists; the Christian Identity movement; anti-abortion activism; radical environmentalist and animal-liberation movements; and prison gangs based on race, religion, and ethnicity. Drawing on literary works, periodicals, and unpublished sources, and considering important themes in anarchist thought (e.g. education, women's liberation, free love and prostitution, anti-clericalism, pacifism, and neo-Malthusianism), Professor Frigerio examines images of anarchists and anarchism in works by mainstream authors (e.g. Henry de Montherlant and Anatole France), cultural debates among libertarians, and literary works by authors unknown outside libertarian communities, such as Han Ryner, Jehan Rictus and Fernand Kolney.
