Description

The Atlantic Ocean not only connected North and South America with Europe through trade but also provided the means for an exchange of knowledge and ideas, including political radicalism.

Socialists and anarchists would use this “radical ocean” to escape state prosecution in their home countries and establish radical milieus abroad.

However, this was often a rather unorganized development and therefore the connections that existed were quite diverse.

The movement of individuals led to the establishment of organizational ties and the import and exchange of political publications between Europe and the Americas.

The main aim of this book is to show how the transatlantic networks of political radicalism evolved with regard to socialist and anarchist milieus and in particular to look at the actors within the relevant processes—topics that have so far been neglected in the major histories of transnational political radicalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Individual case studies are examined within a wider context to show how networks were actually created, how they functioned and their impact on the broader history of the radical Atlantic.
