Description
In the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth centuries, the anarchist effort to promote free thought, individual liberty, and social equality relied upon an international Spanish-language print network. These channels for journalism and literature promoted anarchist ideas and practices while fostering transnational solidarity and activism from Buenos Aires to Los Angeles to Barcelona. Christopher J. Castaneda and Montse Feu edit a collection that examines many facets of Spanish-language anarchist history. Arranged chronologically and thematically, the essays investigate anarchist print culture's transatlantic origins; Latina/o labor-oriented anarchism in the United States; the anarchist print presence in locales like Mexico's borderlands and Steubenville, Ohio; the history of essential publications and the individuals behind them; and the circulation of anarchist writing from the Spanish-American War to the twenty-first century.Contributors: Jon Bekken, Christopher Castaneda, Jesse Cohn, Sergio Sanchez Collantes, Maria Jose Dominguez, Antonio Herreria Fernandez, Montse Feu, Sonia Hernandez, Jorell A. Melendez-Badillo, Javier Navarro Navarro, Michel Otayek, Mario Martin Revellado, Susana Sueiro Seoane, Kirwin R. Shaffer, Alejandro de la Torre, and David Watson
Reviews / Votes
"Writing Revolutions's specific focus on the anarchist press sheds necessary light on the complexity of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century anarchist networks among a variety of Hispanophone social groups from the U.S., Latin America, and Europe." --American Periodicals"High-quality and worth reading. " --Anarcho-Syndicalist Review
"This phenomenal collection brings to light the breadth, depth, and interconnectedness of the Spanish-speaking anarchist movement in the United States, as well as the transnational networks that linked it to Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Essential reading for anyone interested in either anarchism or Hispanic labor and radicalism."--Kenyon Zimmer, author of Immigrants against the State: Yiddish and Italian Anarchism in the United States
