Augustin Hamon

Augustin Frédéric Hamon (1862–1945) was a French socialist-anarchist writer and editor.

Hamon founded the anarchist magazine L'Humanité nouvelle in 1897, and edited it until 1903.[1]

Hamon met George Bernard Shaw for the first time at a Fabian Congress in London in 1894.[2] From 1904 onwards he and his wife Henriette (née Rynenbroeck) translated Shaw's work into French.[3]

Hamon was a proponent of using antisemitism to appeal to a mass audience, arguing in an 1898 interview that "With the petty bourgeois especially, anti-Judaism is the road to Socialism. . .the stage through which the petty bourgeois passes before becoming a Socialist".[4]

His papers are held at the International Institute of Social History.[1][5]
