As a librarian myself I have a profound appreciation of both sides of the inquiry and I hope it has made me both a better librarian and researcher. Working on Spanish anarchism I came to rely on a wide network of colleagues and institutions to find material that was scattered after the Spanish Civil War. Meetings of the International Association of Labour History Institutions (IAHLI) are chances meet with colleagues and see new cities, plus a chance to conduct research and learn about gender and the left in their respective countries. Marianne Enckell of the Centre International de Recherches sur l’Anarchisme (Lausanne, Switzerland) continues to answer questions. Marianne was a very gracious host when I visited, and took me to a squat. Urs Kälin of the Schweizerisches Sozialarchiv (Zürich, Switzerland) kindly allowed me to browse their Spanish Civil War materials and provided me with a photograph of Montseny and the Brupbachers. Anne–Marie Blanchenay and Franck Veyron of the Bibliothèque de Documentation Internationale Contemporaine (Nanterre France) help me use their collections and Franck’s sharing of his apartment has made me as comfortable in Paris as I am in Amsterdam and Barcelona. The Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) deserves a special mention for all the work it has done for v more than seventy–five years in preserving social history. It became my Mecca, and whenever I was there I felt welcomed and completely at home. Just some of the staff who helped me were Heiner Becker, Marien van der Heijden, Meike IJzermans, Frank de Jong, Jaap Kloosterman, Ella Molenaar, Irina Novichenko, Monique van der Pal, Jenneke J. Quast, Kees Rodenburg, Margreet Schrevel, Angelie Sens, and Willeke Thijssen. It was an honor and a privilege to work there and to get to know them over the years. Marien and Angelie were exceptional hosts and I owe Marien a great debt for the Ajax game. Additionally, Marcel van der Linden, Astrid Veburg, and Jan Lucassen made possible my partipation in the IISG’s week–long seminar on Global Labour History in November 2010, the fruits of which are evident in the discussion of Turkish feminism. I am very grateful for the assistance of my Turkish classmates at the Workshop: Burcu Cingay, Emre Erol, and Yelda Kaya. Burcu also followed up with more information which improved my understanding of the Turkish context of Montseny’s article. Karen Englund, formerly of the Arbetarrörelsens Arkiv och Bibliotek (Stockholm, Sweden), made it possible for me to see the murals of the male worker and his wife in the headquarters of the Landsorganizationen i Sverige, the Swedish trade union confederation, and to take photographs. Knut Einar Eriksen of the Arbeiderbevegelsens Arkiv og Bibliotek (Oslo, Norway), provided me with a slide of the Norwegian version of the Spanish Civil War poster “What Are You Doing to Prevent This?,” adding to the ones I had in English, French and Spanish. Gerd Callesen, while he was the head of the vi Arbejdermuseet & Arbejderbevægelsens Bibliotek og Arkiv (Copenhagen, Denmark), invited to me to stay and then together with his wife Lena Fluger gave me a tour of Zealand. Finnish archivists also shared information with me and Pontus Blomster always greeted me warmly, we miss him. David Bidussa, Stephen Bird, Françoise Blum, Christine Coates, Jone Garmendia, Lars Ilshammar, Wouter Steenhaut, Richard Temple, Rossana Vaccaro, and Rüdiger Zimmermann have been good IALHI colleagues and friends. Lluís Claret of Digitalia has been very helpful, and it is exciting to see so many radical Spanish journals in his database. He started as a vendor but has become a friend. Aurelio Martín Nájera of the Fundación Pablo Iglesias (Alcalá de Henares, Spain) sent me copies of Fundación publications that I found invaluable. Ester Ramos and Nuria Franco of the Fundación Francisco Largo Caballero gave me the full tour of their impressive collections and facilitated my access to Emilia Pardo Bazán’s translation of Bebel. Piera Tachis, librarian of the Centro Studi Piero Gobetti in Turin, Italy confirmed a reference for me. Hugh Stevenson of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (Glasgow, Scotland) and Anne Dulau of the University of Glasgow Museums helped me properly identify a painting reproduced in La Revista Blanca. While it ended up not appearing in the thesis, I do intend to make use of it later. On this side of the Atlantic, I used institutions across the country. Julie Herrada of the Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) and I tried to figure out Ética. Sarah Shoemaker, Special Collections Librarian vii at the Robert D. Farber University Archives & Special Collections of Brandeis University (Waltham Massachusetts), made a copy of an important pamphlet. David Jacobs of the Hoover Institution (Stanford, California) facilitated my visit there and the use of Burnett Bolloten Papers and the Joaquín Maurín Papers. Closer to home, The New York Public Library’s Map Division found me a 1930 map of Barcelona which I found very useful in visualizing the spatial geography of Montseny’s city. Artis Wright, Eric Robinson, Esther Taubman and Kate Cordes were very helpful and I am elated to have a color copy of the map to use as a reference. I appreciate the effort of Diana Barnes and the Politics Department in getting me Adobe Acrobat Professional, which eased my research. The Robert F. Wagner School awarded me a Stephen Charney Vladeck Junior Faculty Fellowship and Dean Carol Mandel of Bobst Library made it possible for me to take that fellowship. Michael Stoller and Evelyn Ehrlich supported my sabbaticals. Tim Johnson and Jason Phillips covered my subject responsibilities while I was on leave. Susan Jacobs gave me important early guidance on the Health Sciences databases. Jerry Heverly was always being willing to help with Latin and for several important referrals to resources in Classics. Tom McNulty, Diana Greene, and Peter Magierski helped with references and book schlepping while I was on leave. Nancy Cricco and Gail Malmgreen have been good friends. I owe an immense debt to the ILL staff who got me materials from around the world: the late Mike Hannon, Robert viii Platt, Lowell Accola, and Jennifer Salvo–Eaton. A.J. Muhammad helped with the recalcitrant microform machines in Reserves. Academics on both sides of the Atlantic have been very helpful. In London, Rick Halpern first put me in touch with Chris Ealham. Helen Graham opened up her home and kitchen to me when I was in town. Paul Preston provided assistance, fine meals, and even finer books. In Spain, Mary Nash, Susanna Taverá i Gracia, and Soledad Bengoechea Echaondo were helpful in giving me copies of publications. Mary Nash and Susanna Tavera both spent important spaces of time with me and provided me with invaluable information. In Barcelona, Xavier Diez is the person who first alerted me to the importance of Iniciales. Lisa Berger and Albert Álvarez for years of friendship and reference help. Joan Casanovas was always helpful in many ways. Esteve Carames answered questions about the urban structure of Barcelona. From Zaragoza, Julián Casanova keeps me in touch while Ángela Cenarro gave me important recommendations. Irene Lozano was also gracious on her replies to my queries. Frank Mintz spoke to me about the dispute between Puente and Montseny. Isabelle Mille put me in touch with French Hispanists while Margaret Childers shared information from Rosa Laviña’s privately printed Memoires. Alison Sinclair graciously shared an unpublished essay on Hildegart. In the United States, Carolyn Boyd inspired me to study Spanish history. Jesus Cruz was always encouraging and hopeful as only an Atlético fan can be. Vicki Geduld gave me guidance on Isadora Duncan and her ix significance. The scholarship of Laura Hapke, Cary Nelson, and Alan Wald, and their support, were important at the conception of this project. Fiona Griffiths and Allyson Poshka assisted in verifying the falsity of an anticlerical myth. Sasha Pack helped me verify that a Marañón quote was correct and in the English translation. Victoria Blacik got scans from the national library in Madrid. Ben Anderson was encouraging at an early stage. Rose Calimano tried to help me make sense of some of Urales’ diatribe. Alex Greenspan loaned me his MAC book power cord at a crucial time. Adrienne Basso, librarian and romance novelist herself, read and copyedited this before it was sent to my committee. James Fernández early on recommended I read Brooks.

  • In the Year 710 in the Iberian Peninsula, Rodrigo Came to the Throne of the Visigothic Kingdom After Killing the Previous King
    2º E In the year 710 in the Iberian Peninsula, Rodrigo came to the throne of the Visigothic Kingdom after killing the previous King. A group of nobles decided to called the muslims for military help to depose Rodrigo. The emir of North Africa, Musa, sent an army of berbers led by Tariq. Then Rodrigo with his own army went to confront the muslims in the Battle of Guadalete. During the battle, some visigothic nobles betrayed Rodrigo and left the battle; because of that Rodrigo died and his army was defeated. After the battle, the muslims continue conquering the Iberian Peninsula, with the help of a powerful army led by the Emir Musa. They reached Toledo and in less than three years they controlled almost the whole of the Iberian Peninsula, except the mountainous areas in the north west. There the muslims found resistance and they fought against the astures, led by Pelayo, in the battle of Covadonga (722). The muslim army was defeated and expelled from the region. The muslims left the zone and advanced to the north, crossing the Pyrinees, but they had to return after being expelled by the Franks (Battle of Poitiers, 732). After that, they returned to the Iberian Peninsula and started to organize their new territories. 2º C In the year 710, the Visigothic Kingdom was suffering a civil war. When the noble Rodrigo was appointed as the King, a minority of visigothic nobles who supported his enemy, Achilla, looked for the military help of the muslims to deposed Rodrigo. The north-african emir Musa sent a berber army lead by Tariq.

    Thief Jacob Alexandre Marius alias Escande Attila George Bonnot Féran Hard to Kill the Robber Bernard Thomas volume 1 Introduction by Alfredo M. Bonanno First Published by Tchou Éditions 1970 This edition translated by Paul Sharkey footnotes translated by Laetitia Introduction by Alfredo M. Bonanno translated by Jean Weir Published in September 2010 by Elephant Editions and Bandit Press Elephant Editions Ardent Press 2013 introduction i the bandits 1 the agitator 37 introduction The impossibility of a perspective that is fully organized in all its details having been widely recognised, rigor and precision have disappeared from the field of human expectations and the need for order and security have moved into the sphere of desire. There, a last fortress built in fret and fury, it has established a foothold for the final battle. Desire is sacred and inviolable. It is what we hold in our hearts, child of our instincts and father of our dreams. We can count on it, it will never betray us. The newest graves, those that we fill in the edges of the cemeteries in the suburbs, are full of this irrational phenomenology. We listen to first principles that once would have made us laugh, assigning stability and pulsion to what we know, after all, is no more than a vague memory of a passing wellbeing, the fleeting wing of a gesture in the fog, the flapping morning wings that rapidly ceded to the needs of repetitiveness, the obsessive and disrespectful repetitiveness of the bureaucrat lurking within us in some dark corner where we select and codify dreams like any other hack in the dissecting rooms of repression.

  • The Brief Summer of Anarchy: the Life and Death of Durruti - Hans Magnus Enzensberger
    The Brief Summer of Anarchy: The Life and Death of Durruti - Hans Magnus Enzensberger Introduction: Funerals The coffin arrived in Barcelona late at night. It rained all day, and the cars in the funeral cortege were covered with mud. The black and red flag that draped the hearse was also filthy. At the anarchist headquarters, which had been the headquarters of the employers association before the war,1 preparations had already been underway since the previous day. The lobby had been transformed into a funeral chapel. Somehow, as if by magic, everything was finished in time. The decorations were simple, without pomp or artistic flourishes. Red and black tapestries covered the walls, a red and black canopy surmounted the coffin, and there were a few candelabras, and some flowers and wreaths: that was all. Over the side doors, through which the crowd of mourners would have to pass, signs were inscribed, in accordance with Spanish tradition, in bold letters reading: “Durruti bids you to enter”; and “Durruti bids you to leave”. A handful of militiamen guarded the coffin, with their rifles at rest. Then, the men who had accompanied the coffin from Madrid carried it to the anarchist headquarters. No one even thought about the fact that they would have to enlarge the doorway of the building for the coffin to be brought into the lobby, and the coffin-bearers had to squeeze through a narrow side door. It took some effort to clear a path through the crowd that had gathered in front of the building. From the galleries of the lobby, which had not been decorated, a few sightseers watched.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • Chao Ab Ordo(*)
    CHAO AB ORDO Chao ab Ordo(*) (*) The source of the oft used Latin phrase Ordo ab Chao has its roots deeply embedded in the origin story of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in the Americas. Georges M. Halpern, MD, DSc with Yves P. Huin 1 CHAO AB ORDO Antipasti “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Rob Siltanen You may never have read a single line of La Divina Commedia, and yet you’ve been influenced by it. But it’s just one line of the 14,233 that make up The Divine Comedy. The three-part epic poem published in 1320 by the Florentine bureaucrat -turned visionary storyteller- Dante Alighieri. In late 13th Century Florence, books were sold in apothecaries, a solid evidence that words on paper (or parchment) could affect minds with their ideas, as much as any drug. And what an addiction The Divine Comedy inspired: a literary work endlessly adapted, pinched from, referenced and remixed, inspiring painters and sculptors for centuries! More than the authors of the Bible itself, Dante provided us with the vision of Hell that remains with us and has been painted by Botticelli and Blake, Delacroix and Dalí, turned into sculpture by Rodin –whose The Kiss depicts Dante’s damned lovers Paolo and Francesca – and illustrated in the pages of X-Men comics by John Romita.

  • “The Whole World Is Our Homeland”: Anarchist Antimilitarism
    nº 24 - SEPTEMBER 2015 PACIFISTS DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN DEPTH “The whole world is our homeland”: Anarchist antimilitarism Dolors Marín Historian Anarchism as a form of human liberation and as a social, cultural and economic al- ternative is an idea born from the European Illustration. It belongs to the rationalism school of thought that believes in the education of the individual as the essential tool for the transformation of society. The anarchists fight for a future society in which there is no place for the State or authoritarianism, because it is a society structured in small, self-sufficient communities with a deep respect for nature, a concept already present among the utopian socialists. A communitarian (though non necessarily an- ti-individualistic) basis that will be strengthened by the revolutionary trade unionism who uses direct action and insurrectional tactics for its vindications. On a political level, the anarchists make no distinction between goals and methods, because they consider that the fight is in itself a goal. In the anarchist denunciation of the modern state’s authoritarianism the concepts of army and war are logically present. This denunciation was ever-present in the years when workers internationalism appeared, due to the growth of modern European na- tionalisms, the independence of former American colonies and the Asian and African context. The urban proletariat and many labourers from around the world become the cannon fodder in these bloodbaths of youth and devastations of large areas of the pla- net. The workers’ protest is hence channelled through its own growing organizations (trade unions, workmen’s clubs, benefit societies, etc), with the support and the louds- peaker of abundant pacifist literature that will soon be published in clandestine book- lets or pamphlets that circulate on a hand-to-hand basis (1).

This was an occasion for reflecting on the past century of working class history. Mainstream labour orga- nizations typically understand their own histories as never-ending struggles for better working conditions and a higher standard of living for their members –as the wresting of piecemeal concessions from capitalists and the State.
