Vision on Fire - Emma Goldman in the Spanish Revolution.
"Emma Goldman describes the efforts of Spanish workers and peasants to build and defend an anarchist society 'with almost bare hands and every hindrance in their way' as 'an inspiration one cannot easily forget.' It is a rare and intensely moving experience to witness, through her eyes, their constructive achievements and their travail, caught between the Fascist hammer and the Communist anvil, ignored or vilified by Western 'progressives' - a very significant contribution to the never-ending struggle for freedom and justice."
September 16th - December 10th 1936 Spain: class-warrior and anarchist rebel Emma Goldman, is based in Barcelona the anarquista stronghold of Catalonia. She helps write the English-language edition of the anarcha-feminist CNT-FAI's information bulletin, visits collectivised farms & factories, and travels to the Aragon front, Valencia, & Madrid.
