This is the English translation of a biographical interview-book that Argentinian writer and cartoonist Agustín Comotto realised with Spanish anarchist Octavio Alberola. This translation is very welcome as there is a vital need to make known anarchism beyond linguistic barriers. While this should not be an excuse for monolingualism, which is a serious limit in the field of anarchist studies, and especially in the Anglophone circuits, given the transnational and multilingual nature of the anarchist tradition, this book tells the fascinating and rich story of an individual who encountered a number of “history’s accidents” of the 20th century across several countries and a couple of continents.

Abstract
This is the English translation of a biographical interview-book that Argentinian writer and cartoonist Agustín Comotto realised with Spanish anarchist Octavio Alberola. This translation is very welcome as there is a vital need to make known anarchism beyond linguistic barriers. While this should not be an excuse for monolingualism, which is a serious limit in the field of anarchist studies, and especially in the Anglophone circuits, given the transnational and multilingual nature of the anarchist tradition, this book tells the fascinating and rich story of an individual who encountered a number of “history’s accidents” of the 20th century across several countries and a couple of continents.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
