The fourth episode of By The Book was dedicated to "Historia de la FAI. El anarquismo organizado", by Julián Vadillo Muñoz, and published by Catarata in 2021. The book takes us back to Iberia in the 1920's and 30's and the history of the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI), founded in Spain in 1927. In this lively conversation, Julián Vadillo Muñoz, Rubén Pérez, and Arturo Zoffmann exchange arguments on the history of anarchism, the relationship of the FAI with the National Confederation of Labor (CNT), and the broad political context in Europe at that time. Spanish was the language of choice.
Production and editing was by Diana Barbosa. Funding was provided by the Foundation for Science and Technology.
