Forum on Scholarship and Peace Activism
Significantly enhanced by the debate about climate change, the relationship between knowledge production and activism, as well as forms of research that bridge activism and engagement, has been discussed intensely in disciplines that address contemporary societies.1 In peace history, the relationship between activism and knowledge formation has always been an issue. While a comparative openness to activism has served as a reason for some to dismi…
The challenges and complexities of anti-fascist politics in colonial Puerto Rico, 1935-1945
This article explores how and why the anti-fascist politics of the Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, PNPR), the Partido Popular Demócrata (Popular Democratic Party, PPD) and the Partido Comunista de Puerto Rico (Communist Party of Puerto Rican, PCPR) coincided with and differed from each other. It argues that each party's understanding of anti-fascism corresponded to its political vision, goals, and program and …
Puerto Rican Women’s Struggle for Suffrage
When Puerto Rican women struggled for the right to vote they confronted class, gender, and race-based challenges, as did most, if not all, women who sought enfranchisement. However, Puerto Rican women also faced one additional complication. Puerto Rican was (and is) a U.S. colony, and Washington exerted an undue influence on Puerto Rican women's battle for suffrage
Women, Gender, and the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party
Camilo D. Trumper. Ephemeral Histories: Public Art, Politics, and the Struggle for the Streets in Chile
It is fair to say that most people do not discuss the design of a spoon when they debate the construction of socialism. But, as Camilo Trumper reveals in his fascinating study of urban politics and public spaces in Chile during the Popular Unity years (Unidad Popular [UP], 1970–1973), pro-UP Chilean technicians did. Their goal was to produce a spoon, along with other materials, that would facilitate production and distribution and contribute to g…
From a very early age, I had this idea about Puerto Ricanness
José E. López discusses his childhood as an impoverished peasant in Puerto Rico and his youth as a marginalized Puerto Rican in Chicago. He then explores how key political events and movements of the 1960s, such as the Algerian revolution, the development of liberation theology, national liberation struggles, and the idea of a black nation, which he read about in Mohammad Speaks, fostered his activism in support of Puerto Rican independence. The …
If People Had Not Been Willing to Give Their Lives for the patria or There Had Not Been the Political Prisoners, Then We Would Be Nothing
In this annotated interview Lolita Lebrón explains that the racism she experienced as a factory worker in New York City led her to join the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party. She also discusses her position as the leader of the 1954 attack on the US Congress, the attack itself, gender relations in the party, Pedro Albizu Campos, male supremacist attitudes toward her on the part of her male compañeros, the Nationalist Party's relationships with other…
Afterword for Pensar las derechas en América Latina en el siglo XX
When I finished reading this book my first thoughts were, what an outstanding group of studies on the Rights in Latin America! And the second was how pleased I am that Ernesto Bohoslavsky and Stéphane Boisard, the editors, asked me to write the Afterword. This collection of essays significantly increases our understanding of different expressions of the Right in Latin America, as well as of Latin American politics and history in general across th…
Who but a Woman? The Transnational Diffusion of Anti-Communism among Conservative Women in Brazil, Chile and the United States during the Cold War
This article examines transnational connections among anti-communist women in Brazil, Chile and the United States from the 1960s to the 1980s. It explores the political beliefs and networks upon which these women drew and built in order to promote their role in the overthrow of João Goulart and Salvador Allende and to encourage other women across the Americas to join them in the fight against communism. This paper shows that these women reversed …
Conexões transnacionais entre as mulheres de direita Brasil, Chile e Estados Unidos
Este artigo discute a importância transnacional dos movimentos de mulheres contra João Goulart, no Brasil, e contra Salvador Allende, no Chile, e o impacto que tiveram sobre as mulheres conservadoras dos Estados Unidos. Para tanto, examina a ampla cobertura que a mídia, nos Estados Unidos, deu aos movimentos dessas mulheres, assim como as visitas que as mulheres anti-Goulart fizeram aos Estados Unidos após o golpe militar brasileiro de 1964.

The U.S. Movement in Solidarity with Chile in the 1970s
The international movement in solidarity with Chile that developed and flourished in the 1970s first emerged when the Unidad Popular government of Salvador Allende (1970—1973) was still in power but gained strength after the Chilean military overthrew the government and imposed the military dictatorship that ruled that country from 1973 to 1990. The power of the movement stems from the historical context in which it arose, the tremendous appeal e…

Democracy in Chile. The Legacy of September 11, 1973 ‐ by Silvia Nagy‐Zekmi and Fernando Leiva
Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico. Jocelyn Olcott, Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2005
This fascinating study of women in postrevolutionary Mexico brings to life the multiple forms of struggle that women engaged in during the late 1920s and the 1930s. Based on extensive research, it both offers telling examples of women's local activism and shows the connections between it and the larger political context in which it occurred. Thus, this book illustrates the dynamic interplay that existed between women's efforts to improve their co…
Victims of the Chilean Miracle: Workers and Neoliberalism in the Pinochet Era, 1973-2002 (review)
Vital Connections: Politics, Social Security, and Inequality in Chile
The rather Byzantine nature of Chile’s social security system has always left me a bit confounded—even dazed. I knew that it was important, since it directly affected many Chileans’ retirement plans, health care, and family allowances, but until I read this book, I was unable to fathom the intricacies of it. This is one of the book’s many strengths: it simultaneously delineates the historical and political dimensions of Chile’s social security sy…

La unidad popular y la masculinidad
Traducido por Moisés Silva.En los meses que precedieron al golpe militar que derrocó al gobierno electo de Salvador Allende en septiembre de 1973, Gabriela Baesz, una mujer de clase media baja que odiaba a Allende, llevaba maíz y plumas de pollo en su bolso cada vez que salía de su casa. Cuando se encontraba a algún militar o policía, se le plantaba enfrente y “tiraba el maíz o las plumas, (para que supiera que) las fuerzas armadas eran unos coba…

Las Derechas: The Extreme Right in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, 1890-1939
Given the important role that the Right has played in Latin America, it is remarkable how little scholarly attention has been paid to it. Sandra McGee Deutsch’s book on the extreme Right in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile in the first half of the twentieth century contributes greatly to filling this void. This thorough and well-documented study offers the reader a clear and compelling portrait of the history, ideology, programs, membership, impact, …
