Ideas y vidas a través del Atlántico. El anarquismo americano en la prensa libertaria gallega

Abstract

In this article we will analyse, from a transnational history point of view, the presence of American anarchism in the Galician libertarian press until 1936. In the 19th and 20h centuries, the transatlantic migrations contributed to develop a dense network of contacts and relationships between Galicia and American countries. This network involves anarchist militants on both sides of the Ocean. The Galician anarchists have a close collaboration with her Americans libertarian comrades; and many Galician militants are actively committed in the labour movement of their host countries. The Galician libertarian press shows this relationship and this participation in different ways (articles, contributions, news, solidarity initiatives, etc.). That proves the existence of an intense circulation of ideas and persons, as well as a transnational militancy in the Atlantic area.
