Social Studies Club (Egypt)
From Anarchy In Action
Jewish Anarchists in Alexandria established the Social Studies Club in 1903. A number of similar Anarchist study groups were established in Egypt in the preceding and following years. [1] Egypt's Anarchist movement, pioneered by Italian immigrants in the 1860s, attracted significant participation from native Egyptians after 1900. The movement became prominent in labor struggles and struggled against British occupation alongside the nationalist movement.[2]
