Man! A Journal of the Anarchist Ideal and Movement. Vol. 5 - No. 2-3 (Feb-Mar 1937, double issue)

New York: H. Havel, 1937. Single, original tabloid issue, 46cm x 31cm (about 18" x 12"); 8pp; illus. Old horizontal fold at center, likely as issued; minor nicks and short tears in margins; partially unopened; Very Good.

Excellent single issue of this important American anarchist journal, which ran from 1933 to 1940 despite its publisher and editor being under constant threat of government harrassment. Editorship and publishing location varied: from 1933 to mid-1936 the journal was edited by Marcus Graham and published by the International Group of San Francisco; from fall of 1936, following a government raid at Graham's house, through the summer of 1937, it was edited and published in New York by Hippolyte Havel. Graham once again took over editorial duties in fall of 1937, continuing to issue the journal from Los Angeles until its final suppression in April of 1940.

The current issue is devoted primarily to events in the ongoing Spanish Civil War. The lead article is a translation of an Italian Anarchist Federation pamphlet, "Save Spain - Save Yourselves"; commentary by Errico Malatesta, Walter Brooks, and Hippolyte Havel; a long profile of Walter Billings by Marcus Graham; poetry by George Hedley. A somewhat uncommon Anarchist paper, nicely preserved and with great content. LONGA (Anarchist Periodicals in English) p.167.
