(1932-1939)
Introduction
Vanguard, which characterized itself as an anarchist communist or, later, a libertarian communist journal, was published by the Vanguard Group, a collaboration of primarily Jewish anarchists in New York City from 1932 until 1939. The Vanguard Group had its origins in a 1927 predecessor, the Rising Youth Group which began the Friends of Freedom in 1929 before becoming the Vanguard Group in 1932.
Vanguard was edited by veteran anarcho-syndicalist Sam Dolgoff under the pseudonym Sam Weiner. Other anarchists who wrote for the journal included Emma Goldman, Rudolf Rocker, Augustin Souchy, Gregory Maximoff, Armando Borghi and Hippolyte Havel. But Vanguard also published a range of other leftists including Tom Mooney, Victor Serge, Liston M. Oak and Joseph Zack.
Vanguard covered developments in the world anarchist movement, with much attention paid to the Spanish Civil War. But it also contained numerous polemics against Communists and Trotskyists.
Vanguard ceased publication when the Vanguard Group dissolved upon the United States' entry into World War II.
