Possibly our efforts, as embodied in this publication, are not altogether commen­ surate with the aim we had set for ourselves, nor adequate for such a memorable occasion; but friends will understand-others we will serenely disregard. Many of us to whom the Ferrer Modern School served as a harbinger of a new day were reluctant, in spite of this epoch of blackouts and carnage, to let the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the School in the Ferrer Colony go by unmarked. And although fully aware of the meager means at our disposal and the limited forces in our midst we determined to make an earnest endeavor. , Whatever this is then, in the final result, let it serve as one more token of the indelible impress which Ferrer's life, work and martyrdom made on countless adherents the world over, and which inspired us here to follow, even if but few -if any-ever succeeded in emulating that fountain of energy and idealism which was Ferrer. If this publication, conceived and born in haste, will serve to reawaken a dor~ant interest in libertarian education in some, to kindle a spark in others, we shall be gratified in the thought that this attempt was worth making.

Comparisons are drawn between local and national developments within the ILGWU and the American labor movement in general. Surprisingly little effort has been made to test prevailing historical interpretations within specific cities-- especially those lying outside of the industrial northeast. Until more localized research is undertaken, the unique organizational struggles of thousands of working men and women will remain ill-understood. Differences in regional politics, economics, ethnicity, and leadership defy the application of broad-based generalizations. The Los Angeles ILGWU offers an excellent example of a group that did not conform to national trends. While the labor movement experienced remarkable success throughout much of the United States, the Los Angeles garment locals failed to achieve their basic goals. Although eastern clothing workers won every important dispute with owners and bargained from a position of strength, their disunited southern Californian counterparts languished under the counterattacks of business interests. No significant gains in ILGWU membership occurred in Los Angeles after 1933, and the open shop survived well iii into the following decade.

  • Hippolyte Havel E Os Artistas Do Revolt Hippolyte Havel and the Artists of Revolt
    Hippolyte Havel e os artistas do Revolt Hippolyte Havel and the artists of Revolt Allan Antliff Professor titular de História da Arte na Universidade de Victoria (Canada). RESUMO: Este artigo consiste em um estudo de caso acerca das relações entre o anarquismo e os movimentos artísticos que romperam as convenções e as formas estéticas estabelecidas no início do século XX até a I Guerra Mundial, como o futurismo e o cubismo. Apresenta as atividades de Hippolyte Havel, anarquista tcheco, que morou em Nova Iorque, nesse período, e demonstra também o empenho deste e especialmente de seu círculo de artistas e militantes em divulgar, fortalecer e experimentar tais correntes estéticas e libertárias. Destaca dentre os periódicos que ele fundou: O Almanaque Revolucionário e o jornal A Revolta, assim como as contribuições que estes receberam de diversos artistas envolvidos com a contestação de forças conservadoras e capitalistas. Palavras-chave: anarquismo, futurismo, cubismo, inicio do século XX. ABSTRACT: This article consists of a case study about the relationship between anarchism and artistic movements that broke conventions and established aesthetic forms in the early twentieth century until World War I, as Futurism and Cubism. It presents the activities of Hippolyte Havel, Czech anarchist who lived in New York during this period, and also demonstrates the commitment of him and specially of of artists and activists around him to publicize, strengthen and experience such aesthetic and libertarian currents. It highlighted two periodicals he founded: The Revolutionary Almanac and the jornal Revolt, as well as the contributions they received from various artists involved in contesting the conservative and capitalist forces.

  • Neo-Malthusianism, Anarchism and Resistance: World View and the Limits of Acceptance in Barcelona (1904-1914)
    ■ Article] ENTREMONS. UPF JOURNAL OF WORLD HISTORY Barcelona ﺍ Universitat Pompeu Fabra Número 4 (desembre 2012) www.entremons.org Neo-Malthusianism, Anarchism and Resistance: World View and the Limits of Acceptance in Barcelona (1904-1914) Daniel PARSONS Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona abstract This paper attempts to identify the barriers to the acceptance of Neo-Malthusian discourse among anarchists and sympathizers in the first years of the 20th century in Barcelona. Neo-Malthusian anarchists advocated the use and promotion of contraceptives and birth control as a way to achieve liberation while subscribing to a Malthusian perspective of nature. The revolutionary discourse was disseminated in Barcelona primarily by the journal Salud y Fuerza and its editor Lluis Bulffi from 1904-1914, at the same time sharing ideological goals with traditional anarchism while clashing with the conception of a beneficent and abundant nature which underpinned traditional anarchist thought. Given the cultural, social and political importance of anarchism to the history of Barcelona in particular and Europe in general, further investigation into Neo-Malthusianism and the response to the discourse is needed in order to understand better the generally accepted world-view among anarchists and how they responded to challenges to this vision. This is a topic not fully addressed by current historiography on Neo- Malthusian anarchism. This article is derived from my Master’s thesis in Contemporary History at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona entitled “Neomathusianismo, anarquismo y resistencias: Los límites de su aceptación en Cataluña”, which contains a further exposition of the ideas included herein, as well as a broader perspective on the topic.

  • Anarchism, the Republic and Civil War in Spain: 1931–1939
    Anarchism, the Republic and Civil War in Spain: 1931–1939 This groundbreaking new study, translated for the first time into English, is the first synthesis to relate and interpret the main evolutionary milestones of anar- chism in Spain, and is crucial to understanding the social conflict of 1930s Spain. Casanova explores the concept of anarchism as both a political ideology and a social movement during the Second Republic and the Civil War (1931–1939). Dividing the work into two parts, the author first explores anarchism’s strained relation with the republican regime. He then goes on to analyse the revolu- tionary process that broke out in the summer of 1936. This complete new study also examines possible reasons why anarcho-syndicalism did not resurface after the death of the Spanish dictator Franco, and offers a commentary on other writings on anarchism in contemporary Spain. Casanova’s work will interest historians across a range of disciplines as well as readers with a general interest in Spain. Julián Casanova is currently Professor of Modern History at the University of Zaragoza, Spain.

  • Educating the Seamstress: Studying and Writing the Memory of Work Maria Tamboukou
    Educating the seamstress: studying and writing the memory of work Maria Tamboukou University of East London, UK Bryn Mawr, August 4th, 1922 My dearest Comrade: This will be the last letter you will receive from Bryn Mawr. Next week this time, I will be with you again in the dusty city doing my daily work in the shop and spend- ing the evenings with you in the little office, planning to organize the non-organized. Really, dear comrade, when I look back into the past, not very long, oh say only two months ago, I find such a change in my thoughts…. Let me share with you my new discoveries. To begin with I might proudly say that the pulse of the US beats in Bryn Mawr at this very moment. We have students from each state and of course you will agree with me that each state has its own way of living, with its joys and sorrows; with its cus- toms, traditions etc that reflects on the children of that state … they use different methods, but they all love the work…. As an example I’ll take a state in the south, Tennessee. We have quite a few girls from there. Most of them are timid, have very little knowledge, general knowledge I mean…. Most of them are loyal members of the ‘Y’ which has sent them here and is supporting them financially. They know very little of the outside world, but you just tell them in the South the negro is discrimi- nated against, and you will hear them talk! They are born aristocrats and as such they cannot stand criticism of their deeds.

Nunca como ahora se ha hecho sentir tanto la necesidad de la divulgación del nombre y la obra de nuestros precursores. Cuando este volumen fue escrito, en 1938, formaba parte de unas ediciones conjuntas CNT-UGT dedicadas a ilustrar a la juventud que se iba formando en plena Guerra Civil y en plena Revolución Española. Los dos primeros volúmenes fueron de- dicados, el uno a Pablo Iglesias, escrito por Julián Zugazagoi- tia, y el otro a Anselmo Lorenzo, que se encargó a Federica Montseny. De esas primeras ediciones se hicieron muchos mi- les de ejemplares. Hoy no se encuentra ninguno en España. Y hay, en cambio, otra juventud española sedienta de conocer a los grandes teóricos del sindicalismo y sobre todo del anarco- sindicalismo que constantemente nos visita y nos asedia con demandas. De ahí quen «Espoir» haya decidido la tercera edi- ción de este volumen, que, por su precio módico y su lectura fácil, será un auxiliar precioso para el conocimiento de la figura de Lorenzo y de cuanto, en el curso de su vida ejemplar, cons- tituyó el clima social, las luchas y los empeños de su existen- cia, así como la de los miles de obreros que con él los com- partieron.

At least one anarchist critic was heard to mutter of a ‘cult of personality’.1 Twice, in 1892 and 1901, Goldman was linked in the public mind with the attentats or attempted assassinations that were the movement’s greatest advertisement.
