We, the Anarchists!: A Study of the Iberian Anarchist Federation [FAI] 1927-1937

by Stuart Christie

Description

"Christie's polemic underscores a great truth about the struggle against fascism: There is no middle ground. You may either resist fascism with all your might, or fall into the same abyss yourself."--Rain Taxi A detailed, scholarly study of the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI), a group of twentieth-century militants dedicated to keeping Spain's largest labor union, the CNT, on a revolutionary, anarcho-syndicalist path. Stuart Christie's analysis covers the history of Spanish anarchism and show more the Spanish Civil War, and provides lessons relevant to today's largely neutered labor movement. A gripping and informative tale! Stuart Christie is the co-founder of Anarchist Black Cross and Cienfuegos Press, and the author ofGranny Made Me an Anarchist. He was imprisoned in 1964 for attempting to assassinate Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. show less
