Miguel Giménez Igualada

Miguel Giménez Igualada (1888, Iniesta, Spain – 1973, Mexico)^[1] was a Spanish individualist anarchist writer also known as Miguel Ramos Giménez and Juan de Iniesta.^[2]

Life

In his youth, Igualada engaged in illegalist activities.^[1] He unsuccessfully proposed the creation of a Spanish Union of Egoists, and from the 1920s was a member of the anarcho-syndicalist Confederación Nacional del Trabajo.^[1] Among the many means of earning a living he was a street vendor, taxi driver, gardener, manager of a sugar plantation and rationalist teacher at the Libertarian Atheneum at Las Ventas, Madrid.^[1]

Between October 1937 and February 1938 he edited the individualist anarchist magazine Nosotros.^[1]

Igualada was strongly influenced by Max Stirner. Through his writings he promoted Stirner within Spain, and published the fourth Spanish edition of Stirner's book, The Ego and Its Own, writing its preface. In 1968 he published a treatise on Stirner, dedicated to the memory of fellow anarchist Émile Armand,^[3] and wrote and published the tract, Anarquismo.^[4]

Igualada later lived in Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico,^[1] and was present at the First Congress of the Mexican Anarchist Federation in 1945.^[4]
