Description
An international history of radical movements and their convergences during the Mexican Revolution
The Mexican Revolution was a global event that catalysed international radicals in unexpected sites and struggles. Tracing the paths of figures like Black American artist Elizabeth Catlett, Indian anti-colonial activist M.N. Roy, Mexican revolutionary leader Ricardo Flores Magón, Okinawan migrant organiser Paul Shinsei Kōchi, and Soviet feminist Alexandra Kollontai, Arise! reveals how activists around the world found inspiration and solidarity in revolutionary Mexico.
From art collectives and farm worker strikes to prison "universities," Arise! reconstructs how this era's radical organisers found new ways to fight global capitalism. Drawing on prison records, surveillance data, memoirs, oral histories, visual art, and a rich trove of untapped sources, Christina Heatherton considers how disparate revolutionary traditions merged in unanticipated alliances. From her unique vantage point, she charts the remarkable impact of the Mexican Revolution as radicals in this critical era forged an anti-racist internationalism from below.

Indian Wars Everywhere
References to the Indian Wars, those conflicts that accompanied US continental expansion, suffuse American military history.

In Indian Wars Everywhere, Stefan Aune shows how these resonances signal a deeper history, one in which the...Paperback$5699Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
