Remembering Paul Avrich (1931-2006)

From Anarchistories by Tom Goyens

Twenty years have passed since the death of historian Paul Avrich on February 16, 2006, yet his influence on the study of American anarchism remains unmatched. I first met Paul in October 2000 at a symposium held at the Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. At the time, I was searching for a dissertation topic and, with some uncertainty, proposed a study of German immigrant anarchists. Paul responded with immediate enthusiasm and urged me to pursue it. That was all I needed.

My friend Ronald Creagh has just left us this Friday, September 8, 2023 in Montpellier at the age of 94, after an unusual and very full life.

A British citizen, born June 16, 1929, in Alexandria, Egypt, he spent his childhood in Port Said between a Franco-Lebanese mother, an English father (accountant) and a Sicilian grandmother. He attended the French high school and during the war, was marked by the bombings of the city.
