Abstract

Since Noam Chomsky's “Objectivity and Liberal Scholarship” (in American Power and the New Mandarins, 1969), there has been a flood of books in English on the Spanish anarchists. Along with such scholarly works as Temma Kaplan's Anarchists of Andalusia, 1868–1903 (1977), there have been a number of long-overdue translations—for example, José Peirats and Gaston Leval, both anarchist participants in the Spanish revolution: Anarchists in the Spanish Revolution (Peirats) and Collectives in the Spanish Revolution (Leval). Also recently translated are biographical studies of renowned anarchist guerillas: Abel Paz, Durruti: The People Armed, and Antonio Tellez, Sabate: Guerilla Extraordinary. (The last four books are all available at anarchist bookstores; try Ammunition Books, 4403 Second Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201).
