Anarchist Immigrants in Spain and Argentina is a 2015 history book by James A. Baer on the intertwined anarchist movements of Spain and Argentina. The book delves into the period between 1868 and 1939, illuminating the transnational migration of anarchists between Spain and Argentina. Through the lives of key figures like Diego Abad de Santillán and Manuel Villar, Baer explores how these migrations shaped anarchist ideology and influenced the movement's growth in both countries. With insights drawn from extensive interviews and access to anarchist records, the book highlights the interconnectedness of anarchist migrants, their pursuit of jobs and political goals, and their significant impact on the histories of Spain and Argentina, particularly during the Spanish Civil War.
