Jose Antonio Emmanuel
Jose Antonio Emmanuel was one of the many aliases of Jose Ruiz Rodriguez, an educator, philanthropist, and anarchist from Malaga, Spain. Until 1923, when Primo de Rivera’s dictatorship began, Ruiz Rodriguez went by Max Bembo. Under this pen name, he authored La mala vida en Barcelona: Anormalidad, miseria y vicio.
In the early 1930s, after the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, he reappeared as Jose Antonio Emmanuel. As Emmanuel, he collaborated with the International Committee of Schools in promoting nontraditional schools. He also founded the IAL Press, whose International Library Collection published affordable, brief works that explained concepts such as the proletariat’s organization, union action, and anarchy.
During the Spanish Civil War, Ruiz Rodriguez vanished without a trace, and it is not known what happened to him. As a political activist and innovator who never lost sight of those most in need, especially children, he holds a special place in the history of Spanish education.
