This essay analyzes the unique features of Estudios: Revista Ecléctica (Valencia, 1928-1937), a Spanish libertarian cultural magazine that had a significant international presence and strong link with the American continent. Estudios was particularly important because of its diffusion and prestige among the libertarian working class, and the freethinking milieu on both sides of the Atlantic. Through its coverage of a broad range of modern topics (birth control, eugenics, sexual reform, naturism, and so forth), Estudios was part of a transnational network that connected militants, writers, scientists, doctors, and anarchist propagandists, and those who held revolutionary and progressive sensibilities. It had a stable and solid readership in the United States, with regular points of sales and distribution, and connections with propagandists, centers, and publications close to its main topics of interest.Less
