Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonia... : The Praxis of National Liberat...

Part One: Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial World “Diverse in race, religion and nationality ... but united in aspirations of civil progress”: The Anarchist Movement in Egypt 1860–1940 Anthony Gorman University of Edinburgh Anarchism first appeared in Egypt among Italian political refugees and workers during the 1860s. Nurtured by a developing international network of labor, transport and communications across the Mediterranean, it expanded beyond Italian circles to attract members from across Egypt’s diverse ethnic and religious communities over the following decades.

Anarchism in Early Twentieth Century Chi... : A Contemporary Perspective

Abstract Anarchism flourished in Chinese radical thought and practice during the first three decades of the twentieth century. While the issues and concepts which anarchists introduced into radical thought would continue to retain their significance, they persisted as trace elements largely assimilated into mainstream radical ideology, increasingly represented by Marxism from the mid 1920s. Anarchist activity (including ideological activity) since then has been isolated, transient and marginal, without a visible or sustained impact on the course of Chinese radicalism.

Anarchism in the Chinese Revolution

Chapter Four Anarchists against Socialists in Early Republican China Anarchism germinated in Chinese thought in the radical culture of Chinese students studying abroad. Like other currents in Chinese radicalism, it was a product of Chinese intellectuals’ confrontation with other societies that already showed the strains of modernity and struggled with alternatives to the dominant capitalist ideology of development. Chinese students’ experiences abroad had a liberating effect on their thinking; the same experiences made them wary of what they found.

Deleuze, Gilles Demeure, Noël Der Walt, Lucien Van Derbyshire, Adrian Devaldès, Manuel Diehl, Karl - Even in the stifling atmosphere of the Kaiser's Germany, however, Karl Diehl stood up to look at the ideology behind the movement, to dispell the untruths spread by the government, and to bring the theories of this important portion of man's political philosophy to the world of academia. Andie Nordgren Dirlik, Arif Durruti, Buenaventura - On the 15 Durruti arrived with a force of 1800 men to reinforce the defense of Madrid, where they went immediately to the toughest section and on the 19 he was struck by a bullet as he walked by a supposedly secure area.
