A talented newspaper journalist, Malatesta's biting critiques were frequently short and to the point--and written directly to and for the workers. Though his few long-form essays, including Anarchy and Our Program, have been widely available in English translation since the 1950s, the bulk of Malatesta's most revolutionary writing remains unknown to English-speaking audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Method of Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e, editor Davide Turcato presents an expansive collection of Malatesta's work, including new translations of existing works and a wealth of shorter essays translated here for the first time.
