At last. A serious examination of the legendary FAI. And hence, by necessity, a history and analysis of the organised anarchist movement in Spain, and its relationship with the wider labor movement. By far the best book on the subject, Christie is ruthless in his examination - from an anarchist perspective - of the theory, and practice of this loose-knit group of anarchist militants. Required reading for everyone who not only wants to understand the history of Spanish anarchism, but for those that might want to see some viable form of anarchist organisation in the 21st century.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A solidly recommended read for any historian with a focus on politics,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: We, the Anarchists!: A Study of the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI) 1927-1937 (Paperback)
Organized Anarchism seems like an oxymoron, but much can be learned from their beliefs. "We, The Anarchists! A Study of the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI 1927-1937)" is a look at the growth of this political organization in Spain which called for not smaller, more, or better government, but no government at all. Explaining their beliefs and what they did to press their opinions in Spanish society on the brink of a civil war, "We, The Anarchists!" is a solidly recommended read for any historian with a focus on politics.
