6. Detmolder Sommergespräch am 24. Juni 2009

The Federación Anarquista Uruguaya

The FAU (Federación Anarquista Uruguaya), founded in 1956, was one on the strongest anarchist movements in Latin America. In the 1960s, it faced a rising tide of repression which would culminate in the military dictatorship of 1973-85. As legal avenues of struggle were closed down, through the Worker-Student Resistance (ROE) and OPR-33 (People's Revolutionary Organisation) it expanded its tactics to include armed struggle in defence of the workers movement. Banks were raided for funds, and factory bosses were kidnapped in support of workers' demands.

It aims to bring business historians, labour historians, economic historians, accounting historians, mining historians, transport historians and other historians in business and management schools in Australia and New Zealand together in one umbrella organisation to promote historical research and teaching.
