Sommario/riassunto

This study examines the radical Left in Puerto Rico from the final years of Spanish colonial rule into the 1920's. Positioning Puerto Rico within the context of a regional anarchist network that stretched from Puerto Rico and Cuba to Tampa, Florida, and New York City, Kirwin R. Shaffer illustrates how anarchists linked their struggle to the broader international anarchist struggles against religion, governments, and



industrial capitalism.
