"For the first time, English-language audiences have access to
Ángel Cappelletti's Anarchism in Latin America, one of the
historiographical cornerstones of Latin American anarchism...an
invaluable introduction to the hemispheric history of anarchism in
Latin America. Gabriel Palmer-Fernández's clear, skilled, and lucid
translation includes an insightful introduction by modern
scholar-activists that updates Cappelletti by expanding our
understanding of how anarchists have dealt with feminist,
environmental, and indigenous issues. This is a welcomed and timely
book as anarchist ideas and movements once again surge throughout
the Americas." --Kirwin Shaffer, author of Black Flag Boricuas:
Anarchism, Antiauthoritarianism, and the Left in Puerto Rico,
1897-1921 "The idea of 'utopia' was engendered by the European
discovery of the Americas, and the continent has continued to be a
site for alternative possibilities since then. Ángel Cappelletti's
book is an informative and uniquely handy work of reference."
--Claudio Lomnitz, author of The Return of Comrade Flores Magón
"Progressives have long looked to Latin America for models of
resistance and alternative political structures. However, we tend
to see these models in a Marxist light. Anarchism in Latin America
provides an important corrective, recounting the anarchist
historical roots of some of the most important movements of our
time." --Todd May, author of A Fragile Life: Accepting Our
Vulnerability "This book will introduce American readers to the
extraordinary history of anarchism among our southern neighbors."
--Staughton Lynd, co-author of Wobblies and Zapatistas:
Conversations on Anarchism, Marxism, and Radical History
"Cappelletti provides a broad historical examination of anarchism
throughout Latin America. An abundant variety of primary sources,
including anarchist newspapers, novels, manifestos, and other
publications, enriches the text...displaying an encyclopedic
knowledge of anarchism's development in Latin America and offering
rich case studies with interesting opportunities for comparative
analyses." -- Hispanic American Historical Review
