Paradoxes of Utopia - Anarchist Culture and Politics in Buenos Aires, 1890-1910 (Electronic book text)


An engaging historical look at fin de siecle Buenos Aires that brings to life the vibrant culture behind one of the world's largest anarchist movements: the radical schools, newspapers, theaters, and social clubs that made revolution a way of life. Cultural history in the best sense, "Paradoxes of Utopia" explores how a revolutionary ideology was woven into the ordinary lives of tens of thousands of people, creating a complex tapestry of symbols, rituals, and daily practices that supported--and indeed created the possibility of--the Argentine labor movement.

"Juan Suriano" is a professor of social history at the University of Buenos Aires.
