Now and After
''Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism'' is an introduction to the principles of anarchism and anarchist communism written by Alexander Berkman. First published in 1929 by Vanguard Press, after parts of it had appeared in the ''Freie Arbeiter Stimme'', ''Now and After'' has been reprinted many times, often under the title ''What Is Communist Anarchism?'' or ''What Is Anarchism?''.〔Berkman, p. viii (Introduction by Barry Pateman).〕 Because of its presentation of anarchist philosophy in plain language, ''Now and After'' has become one of the best-known introductions to anarchism in print. Anarchist Stuart Christie wrote that ''Now and After'' is "among the best introductions to the ideas of anarchism in the English language".〔 〕 Historian Paul Avrich described it as "a classic" and wrote that it was "the clearest exposition of communist anarchism in English or any other language".〔Avrich, p. 206.〕
== History ==
The anarchist movement was under siege during the 1920s. The United States had deported hundreds of anarchists, including Berkman and Emma Goldman, in 1919. In the newly created Soviet Union, Russian anarchists were being arrested by the Cheka and imprisoned or executed.〔Raleigh, p. 169.〕 In Ukraine, an anarchist army led by Nestor Makhno had been defeated by the Red Army.〔Kenez, p. 45.〕 Hundreds of Russian anarchists were fleeing to exile in Germany and France.
In an effort to revive the movement, the Jewish Anarchist Federation in New York asked Berkman in 1926 to write an introduction to anarchism intended for the general public.〔 By presenting the principles of anarchism in plain language, the New York anarchists hoped that readers might be swayed to support the movement or, at a minimum, that the book might improve the image of anarchism and anarchists in the public's eyes.
