Exilic Roots and Paths of Marronage
Afropean anthropologist, philosopher, and art curator Dénètem Touam Bona is an original “border thinker” and “crosser” of geographic and conceptual boundaries working within a tradition of Caribbean historical poetics, notably represented by Édouard Glissant. He explores ideas of “fugue” and “refuge” in light of the experience of maroons or escaped slaves, key actors of the simultaneous expansion of freedom and industrial-scale chattel slavery in…
Introduction
The articles in this special issue frame the question of anarchism and indigeneity as historiography, but also as a commentary on the ways in which examining Latin American pasts can inform contemporary understandings of social movements in the region and beyond. In particular, our hope is that they will provoke further interest and research into how history reflects on the ongoing efforts by revolutionaries today, and by the diverse communities …
Indigeneity, Gender, and Resistance
From the 1920s to the 1940s, Bolivia was a hub of Andean transnational solidarities rooted in artisanal trades, and spearheaded by migrant workers whose cultural, educational and social activism reflected a mosaic of influences from older militant traditions in neighbouring countries. Virtually absent from existing overviews of Latin American anarchism in English, Bolivian anarchism engaged extensively with autonomous indigenous and communal move…
The Red Barrial Afrodescendiente
In November 2012, a group of Black women across Cuba came together to form the Red Barrial Afrodescendiente (“Afrodescendant Neighborhood Network”, or RBA). Within its group of initiators were educators, academics, artists, writers, scientists, and activists, all who worked at various levels in both governmental and grassroots capacities. The goal of this newly formed network was to form generative discussion opportunities surrounding race, racis…

Más allá del decenio de los pueblos afrodescendientes
Coeditado por el CIPS. Al conocer la proclamación del Decenio Internacional de los pueblos afrodescendientes (2015-2024), se hizo evidente que ello marcaba un contexto complejo con la dualidad de oportunidades y retos. No solo porque no basta un Decenio ante el genocidio histórico de los pueblos afrodescendientes, cuyos impactos sociales y personales calan la modernidad, sino porque la voluntad política de una gran parte de los Estados para asumi…
In Defiance of Boundaries
The intent of this book is to sample research on Latin American anarchist traditions and legacies from a variety of historiographical perspectives, ranging from labor and social history to transnational and gendered perspectives, biography and the study of intellectuals, the exploration of urban and rural environments, approaches to regionalism, ethnicity, and nationality, and of course the adjustments made by activists and ideologues in the sout…
Federative Futures
The discussion of anarchists’ relationship to nationalism and internationalism is often marred by the omission of a key tenet of their ideological disposition: the rejection of political and territorial nations, and of the institutional guarantors of their hegemony in social life. In the spirit of the First International, the Argentine FORA (Federación obrera regional argentina – Argentine Regional Workers’ Federation) adopted the term “regional”…
Foreigners’, Nationalism and the ‘Colonial Fracture’
The riots that shook the French banlieues in 2005, while unique in their geographic extension and political resonance, are but the most recent manifestation of an ongoing escalation of violence and repression that has periodically rocked the economically devastated, socially fractured and highly cosmopolitan cityscape of post-industrial France. The stigmatization of unemployed youths and outcast working-class families as ‘foreign’ is a complex an…
