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

2010

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. Though heterogeneous in character, different anarchist trends shared a discourse of radical social emancipation that in its propagan...

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. Chinese anarchists’ conflicting engagements with anarchism may be of some relevance in sorting out contemporary problems within anarchism, especially over issues ... (From: TheAnarchistLibrary.org.)

Anarchism in East Asia

Anarchism in East Asia During the first two decades of the 20th century, anarchism was by far the most significant current in radical thinking in East Asia. Although East Asian anarchists did not make significant original contributions to anarchist theory, they did introduce a number of important ideas to the politics and culture of their countries, including universal education, the rights of youth and women, and the need to abolish all divisions of labor—especially those between mental and manual labor and between agricultural and industrial labor.

Anarchism in the Chinese Revolution

Chapter Six The Anarchist Alternative in Chinese Socialism, 1921–1927 The appearance and rapid ascendancy of Marxian communism (or Bolshevism) in the 1920s has long overshadowed in historians’ consciousness the role anarchism played in nourishing social revolutionary thinking and activity for the previous decade and a half, which contributed directly to the founding of the Communist party of China in 1921. Well past the establishment of communism, anarchism continued to serve as a fecund source of social revolutionary ideals that kept alive a radical alternative to Bolshevism.

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. Dunlap, Alexander Dunois, Amédée Drury, Victor S. Duke, James Herriott Dr. Bones Dot Matrix Dolgoff, Sam - He rode the rails for the Wobblies, sometimes as a gandy dancer (or maintenance man), or else hopping boxcars, and he always looked for the chance to stand in front of a crowd and, in that broken cello of a voice.
