In subsequent years, Malatesta visited the United States, speaking there to anarchists in the Italian and Spanish immigrant communities.<ref name=Joll176/> Home again in London, he was closely watched by the police, who increasingly regarded anarchists as a threat following the July 1900 assassination of [[Umberto I of Italy|Umberto I]] by an Italian anarchist who had been living in Paterson, New Jersey.<ref name=Joll176/>

In 1902, the founding congress of the [[Unión Obrera Democrática Filipina]] - first national trade union federation in the Philippines - adopted Malatesta's book ''[[Between Peasants]]'' as being part of the political foundation of the movement.<ref name="gue">Guevarra, Dante G.
