Synopsis

Bartolomeo Vanzetti - an Italian immigrant, famous anarchist and victim of legal persecution and xenophobia - learned to write in English while jailed for a capital crime. What is even more astonishing is that he chose to use his new language skills to write creatively, inventing a parable about worker exploitation and environmental disaster that is as relevant today as it was almost 100 years ago. In a time of assault on immigrants, dissidents, radicals, and the environment, Events and Victims is as pertinent as ever.

À propos des auteurs

Bartolomeo Vanzetti was born in 1888 in Villafalletto, Italy. As an immigrant anarchist, he was at the center of one of the most notorious legal cases of the twentieth century, along with Nicola Sacco, that highlighted American anti-immigrant and anti-radical sentiment during the Red Scare. He was executed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on August 23, 1927.
