Description: "Writing Revolution examines the international movement of Spanish-speaking anarchists who sought social and economic freedom in the United States. Scholars from Latin America, Spain, and the United States will trace the nineteenth-century origins of Spanish-language anarchism and explore the manner in which its ideas and practices crossed borders in the Americas and deeply influenced the development of U.S. Spanish-speaking culture and society from the nineteenth through the twentieth century. This is a book that not only explores the evolution and development of anarchist thought and action, it examines how people widely dispersed over time but who had a shared language and perspective on authoritarian regimes found solidarity through communication and work. Transnational Libertad proposes a global approach to U.S. Hispanic anarchist history, culture, and legacy by examining transnational channels and networks, particularly the anarchist press"--
Review Quotes: "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
