A pioneering collection of essays on the world of anarchists, anarcho-syndicalists and libertarian thinkers in Latin America."" - Barry Carr, coeditor of The New Latin American Left: Cracks in the Empire  ""An important contribution to a recent trend which sees anarchism not as derived from a European center but as a genuine Latin American phenomenon."" - Bert Altena, coeditor of Reassessing the Transnational Turn: Scales of Analysis in Anarchist and Syndicalist Studies  ""Thoughtful, well-researched, and well-written.
