Description

An engaging historical take a look at fin de siécle Buenos Aires that brings to life the vibrant culture at the back of one of the most world’s largest anarchist movements: the radical schools, newspapers, theaters, and social clubs that made revolution an approach to life. Cultural history in the most productive sense, Paradoxes of Utopia explores how a revolutionary ideology used to be woven into the abnormal lives of tens of thousands of people, creating a complex tapestry of symbols, rituals, and day-to-day practices that supported—and indeed created the potential for—the Argentine labor movement.

Juan Suriano is a professor of social history on the University of Buenos Aires.
