This is a study of social protest and repression in one of the
twentieth century's most important revolutionary hotspots. It
explains why Barcelona became the undisputed capital of the
European anarchist movement and explores the sources of anarchist
power in the city. It also places Barcelona at the center of
Spain's economic, social, cultural and political life during
1898-1937.
During this period, a range of social groups, movements and
institutions competed with one another the impose their own
political and urban project on the city: the central authorities
struggled to retain control of Spain's most unruly; nationalist
groups hoped to create the capital of Catalonia; local
industrialists attempted to erect a modern industrial city; the
urban middle classes planned to democratize the city; and
meanwhile, the anarchists sought to liberate the city's workers
from oppression and exploration. This resulted in an myriad of
frequently violent conflicts for control of the city, both before
and during the civil war.
This is a work of seminal importance in the field of contemporary
Spanish history, and fills a significant gap in current literature.
