Desde aquella primera reunión en 2007 se han multiplicado los trabajos relacionados con el anarquismo y su presencia en Argentina y en otros países de América Latina. En estos pocos años se digitalizaron y compartieron cientos de archivos, se escribieron varias tesis y se publicaron decenas de libros y artículos.
La quinta edición de nuestros encuentros es una excelente oportunidad para hacer un balance. Es por eso que lo/as invitamos a encontrarnos nuevamente el SÁBADO 13 DE JUNIO DE 2015 en la sede del CeDInCI (Fray Luis Beltrán 125, Flores, Buenos Aires).
