A Latin American anarchism: comparative and transnational study of the experiences in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay (1959-1985)
This work aims to analyze anarchist political practices during the period between the Cuban Revolution and the military dictatorships in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. In the present study, we intend to analyze the transformations in the strategic and political debates of the anarchist organizations of these countries, as well as to elucidate the influence of the Cuban Revolution and the armed struggle within anarchism. Using a variety of documentary sources (letters, interviews, newspapers, pamphlets and minutes of meetings) and a broad historiographical debate, we seek to elucidate the transformations in their political culture, practices with unions, students and popular movements. We intend to understand the common factors that affected anarchism in the three countries and the singular factors, as well as to understand comparatively the relations, strategic positions and transnational debates among the anarchist organizations. From an analysis based on Political History and Social History and from different methodological procedures, we try to map the anarchist political field and the result of its adherence to what we call “guerrilla grammar” and Latin Americanism.
