Anarchist Cuba: Countercultural Politics in the Early Twentieth Century

Cuban leftists famously reshaped the institutions of health, education, immigration, the environment, and working-class internationalism. Author Kirwin Shaffer shows in Anarchist Cuba that anarchists played a significant role in that process. In the chaos of country forming, anarchists worked for the people, challenging both the Cuban elite and the occupying U.S. Empire by criticizing the state of racial politics, cultural practices, and the conditions of children and women. Based on a wide range of documents from archival records, pamphlets, newspapers, and novels, Anarchist Cuba provides a vivid picture of the transnational nature of the anarcho-syndicalist/anarchist movement.
