Soledad Bengoechea Echaondo (San Sebastián, 1942) holds a PhD in Contemporary History from the UAB and is an exhaustive researcher of both social movements and the history of women in the twentieth century. She has been awarded the Premio Ciudad de Barcelona de Historia and the Premio Joan Mercader de Recerca.

1919 was a revolutionary year after the triumph of the Canadian Strike, but it was also counter-revolutionary because of the lockout that lasted eighty-four days. The aim was to put an end to the CNT, which, at that time, had 400,000 members. In this new translated, expanded and updated version of the Locaut de Barcelona by the same author, published in 1998, with a prologue by the writer and historian Pere Gabriel (Terrassa, 1945), she delves into the responsibilities of the Catalan bourgeoisie in Primo de Rivera’s coup d’état and in corporatism as a political ideology.

[…] Como ha estudiado brillantemente Soledad Bengoechea en su último libro sobre la patronal catalana entre 1919 y 1923, esto acabó el año de la huelga de la Canadiense. La patronal viró hacia un pensamiento golpista y corporativista y no fue una buena época para los contemporizadores y dialogantes.

Aunque la obra explica hechos de hace más de cien años, hay procesos que se repiten y modelos sociales que permanecen. Basta recordar que uno de los nefastos personajes que protagoniza esta historia, el Conde de Salvatierra, gobernador civil, máximo protector de la represión patronal, sigue ostentando una calle en el distrito burgués por excelencia de Sarrià-Sant Gervasi.

Posteriores investigaciones sobre experiencias fascistas durante los años 20 le han dado la razón: acaba de recuperar sus principales líneas de investigación sobre el corporativismo patronal catalán en el libro Barcelona 1919. La huelga patronal que alumbró la dictadura de Primo de Rivera (Libélula Verde).

Navarra, Andreu. (2025, marzo 28). Soledad Bengoechea: (1919) «Los patronos catalanes jugaron de manera distinta». Educational evidence – International magazine

El locaut de 1919 fue todo lo contrario a un paro de la actividad patronal.[…] Bengoechea da respuesta a través del exhaustivo trabajo de documentación proveniente de los archivos de la patronal Fomento del Trabajo Nacional (FTN), Las Cámaras de Comercio y otras importantes fuentes primarias, que nos demuestra como a partir de la réplica de la patronal a la huelga de la Canadiense, el locaut de 1919, se gestó toda una estrategia conspirativa, que apenas cuatro años después culminó en la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera.

Francisco García Darza. (2024, diciembre 15). Reseña del libro de Soledad Bengoechea Echaondo: Barcelona 1919. Ser histórico: portal de historia

Además de concienzuda y rigurosa historiadora, una muy buena escritora. […] Es un libro de historia -no una novela histórica, pero se lee como una buena e intrigante novela histórica- que, refuta para siempre cualquier consideración de que la burguesía catalana es y ha sido históricamente otra cosa, radicalmente diferente del resto de reaccionarias burguesías españolas por ser mucho más democrática

Un any abans de la guerra, la vida bategava en la superfície i en la profunditat de les coses. Ara aquest batec s’ha tranformat en una oració. Perquè la vida no vol oblidar allò que és seu i en reclama el retorn: el menjar a taula, el got d’aigua clara, el somriure dels infants, el so tranquil del carrer, el gessamí que teixeix un sostre d’olor blanca, l’alegria i l’amor, primaveres bessones de l’ànima, i la dignitat immensa i intocable de les persones.

Mario Frisetti, the author, brings us closer to anarchism from the Stirnean perspective of The Ego and Its Own

He briefly reviews Italian anarchist history, with Brunno Filippi or Renzo Novatore, and the Columna de Hierro with Pepe Pellicer. All this impregnated with Dada and its different facets; Man Ray, Ball, Richter, Kupka or Cravan, among others, are intertwined with the Stirnean work and with the pirates of the 14th meridian. A journey that shows us his own map with landmarks of the libertarian-anarchist world.

The first publication of the book was in German, then in Italian with the publisher Fenix and now finally in Spanish; edition that has also been revised and expanded.
