In the 1930s, anarchists and socialists among Spanish immigrants
living in the United States created Espana Libre (Free Spain) as a
response to the Nationalist takeover in their homeland.
Worker-oriented and avowedly antifascist, the grassroots periodical
raised money for refugees and political prisoners while advancing
left-wing culture and politics. Espana Libre proved both visionary
and durable, charting an alternate path toward a modern Spain and
enduring until democracy's return to the country in 1977. Montse
Feu merges Espana Libre's story with the drama of the Spanish
immigrant community's fight against fascism. The periodical emerged
as part of a transnational effort to link migrants and new exiles
living in the United States to antifascist networks abroad. In
addition to showing how workers' culture and politics shaped their
antifascism, Feu brings to light creative works that ranged from
literature to satire to cartoons to theater. As Espana Libre opened
up radical practices, it encouraged allies to reject violence in
favor of social revolution's potential for joy and inclusion.
