Anarchist Collectives

About this book

The Anarchist Collectives reveals a very different understanding of the nature of radical social change and the means of achieving it.Sam Dolgoff, editor of the best anthology of Bakunin's writings, has now produced an excellent documentary history of the Anarchist collective in Spain. Although there is a vast literature on the Spanish Civil War, this is the first book in English that is devoted to the experiments in workers' self-management, both urban and rural, which constituted one of the most remarkable social revolutions in modern history. - Paul AvrichThe eyewitness reports and commentary presented in this highly important study reveal a different understanding of the nature of socialism and the means for achieving it. - Noam ChomskyTable of ContentsIntroduction, by Murray BookchinPart One: Background1.
