José Revueltas and the Temporalities of the Mexican 1956
Taking the thought and action of Jos?? Revueltas as a heuristic thread and the ‘Global 1956’ as a centre of gravity, this article examines the significant changes which occurred in the configuration of the Mexican Marxist left between the crisis over Trotsky’s exile and assassination (1939‐40) and the collapse of the National Liberation Movement in the early 1960s. Between these dates, Jos?? Revueltas had (in)famously described a ‘proletariat wit…

The revolutionary road not taken
The 1920s – and above all the delahuertista rebellion of 1923–4 – represent a fundamental moment of ideological narrowing in Mexico’s postrevolutionary history. While prior to 1923 there were a host of competing leftisms – often radical, focusing on Indigenous peoples, women and campesinos – by the end of the decade these alternative ‘revolutionary roads’ had been closed off

Paths of Revolution
Born in 1928 in Buenos Aires, Adolfo Gilly wove together the roles of activist, analyst, and chronicler; a heterodox Trotskyist, Gilly was a prominent member of the Fourth International, and later J. Posadas's Latin American Bureau. In the Anglophone world he is probably best known for his book La revolución interrumpida (The revolution interrupted, published in translation as The Mexican Revolution), written during his six-year incarceration in …
The limits of expectation
Writing in 2003, Max Paul Friedman was confident that 'a work of history that strongly argues the merit of US policies in the region [Latin America] or claims these have been designed principally to protect and promote freedom and democracy' would be a rarity. 1 Kurt Weyland's 2018 article -though not a work of history per se -seems to be such an outlier. 2 Using a fairly wide series of case studies, Weyland tests 'basic force' and 'force activat…

At the time of this writing, massive wildland fires are burning in California and Oregon in the United States. The largest, the 680,000-plus-acre Dixie Fire, is burning in Butte, Plumas, Lassen, Tehama, and Shasta counties in Northern California. The Dixie Fire has become the second largest fire in California's recorded history. It has leveled the town of Greenville, population about 900
Rethinking Latin America's Cold War
This review outlines some of the key interventions in the literature on Latin America's Cold War produced since the early 1990s, concentrating largely on broad shifts in anglophone historiography. With questions of periodization and definition in mind, it offers a new, multi-layered model of the Cold War in the region, though with wider application. Using the example of Mexico, it then demonstrates some of the weaknesses of the current literature…

Hegemonic Nationalism, Subordinate Marxism
The most significant weakness of the Marxist Left in early Cold War Mexico was that it subordinated itself to post-revolutionary nationalism. Both the Mexican Communist Party and followers of Vicente Lombardo Toledano supported the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (Institutional Revolutionary Party, PRI), avoiding significant criticism before late 1947. Some dissident currents of Marxism did exist, but they were sparsely followed. Mexi…

It was suggested as recently as 2014 that ‘the history of the Cold War in Latin America is waiting to be written’.1 Renata Keller’s new study is an important contribution to the writing of that his
In Darkest England and the Way Out
This classic work in the literature of poverty was published in 1890 by William Booth (1829–1912), the founder of the Salvation Army. It was in fact mostly written by the crusading journalist W. T. Stead (referred to as an anonymous 'friend of the poor' in Booth's preface), but the practical ideas for relieving the poverty and squalor of late Victorian British cities are all Booth's own. Reworking the cliché of 'Darkest Africa', in the first part…

Critical Understanding
Critics will always disagree, but, maintains Wayne Booth, their disagreement need not result in critical chaos. In Critical Understanding, Booth argues for a reasoned pluralism-a criticism more various and resourceful than can be caught in any one critic's net. He relates three noted pluralists-Ronald Crane, Kenneth Burke, and M. H. Abrams-to various currently popular critical approaches. Throughout, Booth tests the abstractions of metacriticism …
