In this groundbreaking collection of essays, anarchism in Latin America becomes much more than a prelude to populist and socialist movements. The contributors illustrate a much more vast, differentiated, and active anarchist presence in the region that evolved on simultaneous—transnational, national, regional, and local—fronts.
Representing a new wave of transnational scholarship, these essays examine urban and rural movements, indigenous resistance, race, gender, sexuality, and social and educational experimentation. They offer a variety of perspectives on anarchism’s role in shaping ideas about nationalism, identity, organized labor, and counterculture across a wide swath of Latin America.
A pioneering collection of essays on the world of anarchists, anarcho-syndicalists and libertarian thinkers in Latin America."" - Barry Carr, coeditor of The New Latin American Left: Cracks in the Empire
""An important contribution to a recent trend which sees anarchism not as derived from a European center but as a genuine Latin American phenomenon."" - Bert Altena, coeditor of Reassessing the Transnational Turn: Scales of Analysis in Anarchist and Syndicalist Studies
""Thoughtful, well-researched, and well-written. As a collection, this goes a long way to furthering our understanding not just of anarchism in Latin America, but of anarchism more generally."" - Mark Leier, author of Bakunin: The Creative Passion.
