Beyond Geopolitics: New Histories of Latin America at the League of Nations ed. by Alan McPherson, Yannick Wehrli (review)
major achievements is to have pieced together from largely fragmentary documentary sources vividly realized portraits of individuals who made significant contributions to anarchist causes on both sides of the Atlantic. No less commendable is the fact that, by directing the reader’s attention to the transnational and migration processes that shaped the development of anarchism in these two countries, Bauer has highlighted the historiographical limitations of nation-centered studies of these movements. The book provides a persuasive argument for viewing historical issues through a wider geographical lens; therefore, it should prove indispensable reading for anyone interested in the social and labor history of modern Spain and Latin America.
