Anarchists and Alterity
Anarchists and Alterity
The Expulsion of Casimiro Barrios from Chile, 1920
Drawing from the case of a Spanish-born immigrant raised in Chile and deeply committed to working-class and social movements in his country, this chapter analyzes how alterity, or the emphasis on “essential” differences (such as “foreignness” or “placelessness”) were mobilized by nationalists and state actors to marginalize and justify the expulsion and persecution of labor activists on the left. It underscores the difficulty of categorizing individuals as belonging to a single ideological orthodoxy and reflects on the ways in which the intentionality of stigmatization by its enemies affected how anarchism was defined in Chile.
