A-Infos (en) IFA - Homage to the Spanish Revolution, 90 years on (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

            This year, to mark the 90th anniversary of the Spanish 
Social Revolution, the Argentine Libertarian Federation (FLA) will be 
holding an open event at our premises on Saturday 18 July at 7 pm. --- 
This date is of particular significance to us because, during the 
Spanish Social Revolution, the FLA (which was known as the Argentine 
Anarcho-Communist Federation (FACA) during the early 1930s and adopted 
its current name in 1955) actively participated in and supported this 
revolutionary struggle. For this reason, Reconstruir, the FLA's 
publishing house, is publishing two books on this significant 
revolutionary experience. Both book have been published especially for 
this occasion and will be presented on the day of the event, Homage to 
the Spanish Revolution, 90 years on:

            The first is a piece of research by a comrade from the FLA 
and the Ácratas de Salta collective, entitled: "José Puertas, An 
Anarchist from Salta in the Spanish Social Revolution". The son of 
Spanish migrants, Puertas was born in Salta (in northern Argentina), but 
at a very young age his family returned to the Iberian Peninsula, 
specifically to the Basque Country. There he spent much of his 
adolescence and, over time, forged his own history as an anarchist 
activist in a Spain in turmoil. This region was in the throes of a 
pre-revolutionary process, with conservative factions poised to bring 
down the Second Spanish Republic. The coup d'état, which took place in 
1936, led to the Spanish Civil War broke out between 1936 and 1939, but 
various revolutionary movements developed in parallel with the conflict. 
Against this backdrop, Puertas was forced to take up arms to defend 
these movements and fight the fascist 
forces.[https://youtu.be/8kekP8zjBjU?is=Vc0cpN3eZSBaxJdC]

            The second book brings together two research projects 
carried out by our comrades Nadia Ledesma Prietto and Gisela Manzoni. 
The papers are entitled: "A thread in the transnational warp. Ana 
Piacenza/Nita Nahuel's unpatriotic trajectory between Argentina and 
Spain" and "In a world of Free Women, why not make feminism anarchist?". 
The first article seeks to highlight and examine the history of the 
struggles for women's emancipation. It reconstructs the anarchist 
activism of Ana Piacenza (1906-1972), a figure whose life and work are 
rarely remembered. Ana played an active role in the founding of FACA. In 
1936, she travelled to Spain to support the Revolution, and her 
contributions were significant within organisations such as Mujeres 
Libres, the newspaper Tierra y Libertad, and the CNT-FAI radio station, 
amongst other initiatives. In the decades that followed, now living in 
the city of Rosario (Argentina), she remained tirelessly committed and 
spearheaded the formation of new organisations such as the Union of 
Libertarian Socialist Women. This biographical account is accompanied by 
a series of photographs documenting her time in Barcelona in 1937. We 
have also included the full transcripts of the various articles that Ana 
Piacenza published in militant publications of the time. Meanwhile, the 
second article examines the role of women during the Spanish Revolution 
and the reasons for creating spaces outside trade union or political 
organisations, as well as the debates they had to wage even 
within.[https://youtu.be/xXTTLWSNUmE?is=wVp-MIsEZQgpSQ9l]

            This latest book will be presented during Homage to the 
Spanish Revolution, 90 years on 18 July, alongside its authors.
            In addition, during this tribute there will be a reading of 
Ana Piacenza's writings, live music featuring 'bagpipe rebelde' and 
'Flamenco revolucionario', a book fair and food to share.
