$18.95
An engaging historical look at fin de siecle Buenos Aires that brings to life the vibrant culture behind one of the world's largest anarchist movements: the radical schools, newspapers, theaters, and social clubs that made revolution a way of life. Cultural history in the best sense, Paradoxes of Utopia explores how a revolutionary ideology was woven into the ordinary lives of tens of thousands of people, creating a complex tapestry of symbols, rituals, and daily practices that supported--and indeed created the possibility of--the Argentine labor movement.
Juan Suriano is a professor of social history at the University of Buenos Aires.
