Abstract

This article aims to analyse the very first efforts to constitute a anarchist press in Fortaleza, in the early 20·h century. After many experiences in Liceu do Ceará and Faculdade de Direito, a group of young intelectuals tried to create a acting press, in a anarchist way of thinking They created newspapers like O Demolidor, Voz dos Graphicos, O Regenerador" and O Combate. The appearing of this press was possible due to three factors: the aceleration of the urban growth, the formation of acting labourers groups, and me exchange between local labourers and orhers from Brazil and Portugal.
