No book has ever presented a selection of writings of anarchists
from the Portuguese?speaking world to an English?speaking audience.
In The Luso?Anarchist Reader, writings by feminist radicals such as
Maria Lacerda de Moura and anarchist communists such as Neno Vasco
are made available in English for the first time. Researchers and
activists interested in achieving a more comprehensive
understanding of people's movements could certainly stand to
benefit from exposure to these texts. Groups such as the Anarchist
Federation of Rio de Janeiro are organizing in both urban and rural
Brazil, sometimes working as part of a larger umbrella organization
known as Brazilian Anarchist Coordination or CAB coordinating the
efforts of various anarchist associations. Anarchists participated
in the massive 2013 protests in Brazil, protests that brought
together millions of people to speak out against corruption and for
a variety of social causes. Anarchists are active in anti?austerity
protests in Portugal against the European troika. Given the
visibility of anarchism in the Portuguese?speaking world, Brazil in
particular, the need to understand the roots of this anarchist
tradition is especially salient. Anarchism in the
Portuguese?speaking world during the early twentieth century
brought together immigrants, people of African and indigenous
descent, and feminists to forge a solidarity?based alliance for
change. The young anarchist activists questioning the status quo
today stand on ground seeded by the hard work of their
predecessors.
