 the context of the anarchist contribution to   the  revolution and civil 
 war that took place in Spain as a result of the  attempted coup d'etat by 
 the military in July 1936. Topics that will be  covered include: the social 
 context of Spain through the 1930s; a   history  of anarchist activity in 
 Spain, 1880s-1930s; rivalry with socialists;   the  organizational ideas 
 and structures of the CNT and the FAI; the CP,  electoralism, and the 
 Popular Front; the attempted coup (which social  classes were involved and 
 why) and its immediate aftermath; government  anarchists; foreign 
 intervention; militias versus Popular Army;   internal  tensions among 
 anti-fascist groups; Mujeres Libres and the women's  question; the May Days 
 in Barcelona, the Friends of Durruti, and the   death  of the Revolution; 
 ultimate military defeat; post-war  resistance/suppression.  Recommended 
 readings: Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell (an   eyewitness  account of 
 Orwell's experiences as a militia volunteer; his experiences   in  Spain 
 led him to write "Animal Farm" and "1984"); The Spanish Civil War   by  
 Antony Beevor (a military historian sympathetic to the anarchists looks   
 at  the various tensions in Spanish culture and fits those into a highly  
 readable overview of the war years); We! the Anarchists by Stuart   
 Christie  (a detailed critical look at the FAI and its relation to the CNT, 
 with   an  excellent history of how each organzation dealt with the 
 revolution and  war).  \n
