Anarcho-Motherhood, Border Controls, and Resistance in the Greater U.S.–Mexico Borderlands
This article centers the labor activism of two Mexican borderland anarchists, Caritina Piña and Felipa Velásquez, who politicized the idea of motherhood from a radical, anti-state, and labor-union centered perspective to speak on behalf of all workers during the 1920s, an era of increased border controls. Through an examination of their lived experiences—which included participation in direct action (strikes, land assaults), written petitions to …
Controlling Migration from Within
Magonismo 's Legacy, Then and Now

While AMLO's administration has used Flores Magón's history to legitimize its …
Rooted in Place, Constructed in Movement
Since the turn of the twentieth century, men and women from the greater Mexican borderlands have shared labor concerns, engaged in labor solidarities, and employed activist strategies to improve their livelihoods. Based on findings from archival research in Mexico City, Washington, DC; Texas; Tamaulipas; and Nuevo León and by engaging in transnational methodological and historiographical approaches, this article takes two distinct but related cas…
