Land and liberty [two issues: 2 and 11]

Owen, William C., editor

Hayward, CA: Land and Liberty, 1914, 1915. Pamphlet. Two issues of the anarchist publication, about 9x12 inches, 12 and 6 pages respectively. No. 11 has pages separated and loose but present; chips at left margin, not reaching the text.

The British-American anarchist William Owen took a special interest in the Mexican revolutionary movement, and edited the English page in Ricardo Flores Magón's newspaper Regeneración. After leaving southern California for the Bay Area, he put out Land and Liberty. In the issues offered here, he comments at some length about the situation in Mexico, and condemns Jack London's "prostitution of the human soul" for a story in Collier's celebrating the exploits of US soldiers at Vera Cruz. There is also substantial discussion of anarchist principles; Owen compares socialism and anarchism to Catholicism and Protestantism (unity of faith versus the revolt of private judgment).
