This book analyzes the formation of a mass anarchist movement in Spain over the turn of the twentieth century. In this period, the movement was transformed from a dislocated collection of groups and individuals into the largest organized body of anarchists in world history: the anarcho-syndicalist National Confederation of Labour (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo: CNT). At the same time, anarchist cultural practices became ingrained in localities across the whole of Spain, laying foundations which maintained the movement’s popular support until the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The book shows that grassroots print culture was central to these developments: driving the developmen...

The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time ...

Al hablar de "vanguardias artisticas", o "vanguardias historicas", no es extrano el empleo del adjetivo calificativo "anarquico" que, a veces ambiguamente, alude a cierta atmosfera rupturista en el primer tercio del siglo XX. En el caso espanol esta situacion remite a la coexistencia, durante la Segunda Republica (1931–1939), de ismos esteticos muy politizados y un importante movimiento anarquista. Donde convergen o se distancian el vanguardismo de galerias, pabellones o revistas y las acciones revolucionarias de la Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (CNT)? Hasta que punto las practicas del obrerismo libertario se corresponden con el teatro experimental de Garcia Lorca, el cine de Luis Bun...
Caritina Piña Montalvo personified the vital role played by Mexican women in the anarcho-syndicalist movement. Sonia Hernández tells the story of how Piña and other Mexicanas in the Gulf of Mexico region fought for labor rights both locally and abroad in service to the anarchist ideal of a worldwide community of workers. An international labor broker, Piña never left her native Tamaulipas. Yet she excelled in connecting groups in the United States and Mexico. Her story explains the conditions that led to anarcho-syndicalism's rise as a tool to achieve labor and gender equity. It also reveals how women's ideas and expressions of feminist beliefs informed their experiences as leaders in and members of the labor movement. A vivid look at a radical activist and her times, For a Just and Better World illuminates the lives and work of Mexican women battling for labor rights and gender equality in the early twentieth century.
La història local o comarcal es pot abordar des de diferents perspectives si volem conèixer tot un ventall d'assumptes que ens són necessaris per a vincular el passat amb el present, e inclús amb el futur. Analitzar el patrimoni cultural, la societat, les conjuntures econòmiques, la política, el govern, els sistemes productius, l'art, la geografia, etc., és un reconeixement i enfortiment de les nostres identitats locals que ens permetrà adaptar-nos a una societat cada vegada més global i mudant. L'Assemblea d'Història de la Ribera celebrada a Alberic ens ha permet endinsar-nos en el coneixement de la geologia, del patrimoni arqueològic i arquitectònic, de les oligarquies socials,...
Mabel Bellucci rescata a una de las pioneras fundamentales, pero singular, del socialismo y el feminismo en la Argentina de comienzos del siglo XX. Carolina Muzilli.
