Cuba's anarchist movement traces its heritage back further than any other anarchist movement in Latin America; and Cuba produced the only mass, well organized anarchist movement ever to appear in the Western Hemisphere (excepting that in Argentina). Cuban Anarchism traces that movement from its beginnings in 1865 through its role in resisting homegrown dictatorship and U.S. imperialism throughout the first half of the 20th century; its important role in resisting the Batista dictatorship; its opposition to Castro's betrayal of the Cuban Revolution; and its years in exile. The book concludes with a look at the failure of the Castro dictatorship and at the possibility of fulfilling the promise of the Cuban Revolution after the fall of Castro.

From the Publisher
Anarchism was the driving force behind Cuba's revolutionary and labor movements from their dawn until well into the 20th century. Anarchists bore primary responsibility for organizing workers in Cuba's most important industries, tobacco and sugar. At the height of their influence in the 1920s, Cuba's anarchists controlled the Cuban union movement, provided free nonreligious schools for poor children, provided meeting places for Cuba's working class, organized campesinos into unions and agricultural collectives, and published newspapers and magazines across the island. Later, they would take an active part in the resistance to the Machado, Batista, and Castro dictatorships. This book presents their inspiring story.
