A Short History of Anarchism is a history of anarchism by Max Nettlau.
The book outlines the development of anarchism internationally from 1789 to 1934. It covers individuals, organizations, and periodicals. [1]
Freedom Press published A Short History of Anarchism in 1996. The text is a translation of Historia de la anarquía (in Spanish), which itself had been edited from La anarquía a través de los tiempos. [2] The original, which translates as "Anarchy in the Course of Time", was published in Barcelona in 1935 by Maucci, summarizing Nettlau's prior German print publications covering 1864–1886. He added six chapters to summarize 1886 to 1935. [3] Nettlau did not finish nevertheless publish his history of anarchism at his death but the book samples from that work. [4] Subsequent translated editions include Swedish (1954), Italian (1964), and French (1971). [1] [4] [5]
Closer to a biobibliography than an academic history, Nettlau shows intimate knowledge of the anarchist movement and personalities, but is more partisan and passionate in tone than detached and analytical. Revue française de science politique described the book as indispensable for anarchist studies. [4]

Anarchism in Morocco has its roots in the federalism practiced by Amazigh communities in pre-colonial Morocco.

Despite the brief establishment of an anarchist movement in post-war Morocco, the movement was suppressed by the newly independent government, before finally reemerging in the 21st century.
