Andalusian anarchism was a grassroots movement of peasants and
workers that flourished in Cadiz Province, the richest
sherry-producing area in the world, from about 1868 to 1903. This
study focuses on the social and economic context of the movement,
and argues that traditional interpretations of anarchism as
irrational, spontaneous, or millenarian are not justified. The
extensive archival research undertaken for this book leads Temma
Kaplan to a major reinterpretation of the nature of anarchism.
Using the police reports in local archives to reconstruct the lives
of more than three hundred rank-and-file anarchists, Temma Kaplan
shows that the Andalusian movement was highly organized and
dedicated to defending the interests of workers and peasants
through a wide variety of organizations. These included trade
unions, workers' circles, and women's societies, all of which
favored general strikes and insurrections rather than terrorism.
