Like so many of their fellow residents on the island, Cuban anarchists quickly grew disillusioned after independence from Spain in 1898. They agitated towards social revolution, but believed these efforts would be, if not useless, then at least less effective if the people were not educated.
Consequently, anarchists saw education as an essential revolutionary tool to raise the consciousness of the popular classes.
This article focuses on two distinct eras of Cuban anarchist education (1898-1912 and 1922-1925) within the context of Cuban education generally and the island’s anarchist movement specifically.
