Summary
While anarchists across the Caribbean – especially in Cuba – were being deported, jailed, and killed in the 1920s and early 1930s, Cuban anarchist authors Marcelo Salinas and Adrián del Valle found the height of their literary success. Both won national literary prizes during the dictatorship while keeping the spirit of anarchism alive in their fiction. The epilogue concludes by looking at the long dry spell of anarchism from the 1930s to the 1990s when global anarchism reemerged. In the Caribbean, anarchist groups began rediscovering their roots and new organizations began to emerge to challenge capitalist globalization in the twnety-first century.
