To Remember Spain The Anarchist and Syndicalist Revolution of 1936

In the essays that make up this book, Murray Bookchin places the Spanish Anarchist and anarchoâ??syndicalist movements of the 1930s in the context of revolutionary worker's movements of the preâ??World War II era.

These articles describe, analyze, and evaluate the last great proletarian revolution of the past two centuries. They form indispensable supplements to Bookchin's larger 1977 history of the anarchist and anarchoâ??syndicalist movements prior to the outbreak of the revolution and civil war, The Spanish Anarchists: The Heroic Years, 1868â??1936 (Reprinted by AK Press).

Read together, these works constitute a highly informative and theoretically significant assessment of the anarchist and anarchoâ??syndicalist movements in Spain. They are invaluable for any reader concerned with the place of the Spanish Revolution in history and with the accomplishments, insights and failings of the anarchoâ??syndicalist movements. Most significantly, Bookchin draws lessons for today about left-libertarian forms of organisation and much-needed modifications of radical politics in the present period.
