José Peirats Valls (1908–1989) was a Spanish anarchist, activist, journalist and historian.
Biography
Peirats was born on March 15, 1908, in La Vall d'Uixó, Province of Castellón.[1] He was the second child of Jose Peirats Dupla and Teresa Valls Rubert, who were day laborers, working as espadrille makers (espardenyers).[2]
Peirats came to anarchism after moving in his early years to Barcelona. He was a long-standing member of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) and at one point edited its newspaper, Solidaridad Obrera ('Workers Solidarity').
Peirats was a member of anarchist groups Afinidad (1932) and Verdad (1932-1936).[3] He was also a member of the federation of anarchist affinity groups, the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI). An account cited him as part of a delegation sent to Paris in November 1936 to purchase weapons.[4]
In 1989, Peirats died in Barcelona.[3]
