DESCRIPTION:
I'm in love with this book!!! Instead of focusing just on trade union politics, "Paradoxes of Utopia" offers us an exciting glimpse of the visionary cultural aspects of the anarchist movement in early 20th century Buenos Aires. A superb historian, Juan Suriano vividly brings to life the radical theaters, free schools, newspapers, and social organizations of the times, showing us the movement's deep concern for things like rational education, atheism, free love, feminism, anti-militarism, sobriety, and. excellent This is THE most comprehensive treatment of the heyday of Argentine anarchism in any language. It is scholarly, informed, and compelling.
