Anarchist Socialism in Early 20th Century Spain is the
first English translation of and critical introduction to Ideario, a
collection of newspaper and journal articles written by Spanish
anarchist Ricardo Mella. Given that Mella is virtually unknown to the
English-speaking world, this book provides readers access to his
extensive body of work about Spain, human nature, and a world
increasingly dominated by capitalism. Suitable for both the general
public interested in learning more about anarchist ideas and for
scholars studying twentieth-century Spain, the three introductory essays
help to introduce Mella, ground his work in the context of Spanish
anarchism, and draw connections between Mella and the urban in late
nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spain. Stephen Luis Vilaseca's
translation is accessible and engaging.
