Antología del pensamiento crítico mexicano contemporáneo
La selección que aquí presentamos rescata esa problemática y ese espíritu de lucha a través de la importante obra de mujeres y hombres que destacan por su originalidad y rigor intelectual, así como por su compromiso para trascender la situación de explotación, pobreza, opresión, discriminación, violencia y antidemocracia que persiste en México. Se trata de una amplia diversidad de enfoques que coinciden en el esfuerzo por encontrar alternativas a…
El tiempo del despojo. Poder, trabajo y territorio
En la base de la vida moderna actúa de manera incansablemente repetida u mecanismo que subordina sistemáticamente la lógica del valor de uso, el sentido espontáneo de la vida concreta, del trabajo y el disfrute humanos, de la producción y el consumo de los bienes terrenales, a la lógica abstracta del valor como sustancia ciega e indiferente a toda concreción, y sólo necesitadade validarse con un
What exists cannot be true
The Argentinian historian of the Mexican Revolution recalls his life as a roving agitator. Worlds of rebel workers, from the barrios of Buenos Aires to the Bolivian altiplano and Guatemalan jungle, Lecumberri Prison to the streets of Paris and Rome
Ciencias Sociales E Historia Notas Interdisciplinarias
Recogiendo el señalamiento de Braudel y la escuela de los Annales, en el presente artículo se exploran críticamente algunas ideas sobre el fundamento, alcances, límites y actualidad de los diálogos posibles y necesarios entre la disciplina historiográfica y otras ciencias sociales, especialmente la ciencia política. Mediante el rescate de nociones como tiempo histórico plural, la consideración de los procesos constructivos de hegemonía que articu…
Navegar Es Necesario. Estudio De Un Documento
Alguien pregunta: ¿todavía eres marxista? Nunca antes ha sido tan extensa como hoy la devastación provocada por la búsqueda de la ganancia, según la define el capitalismo. Casi todo el mundo lo sabe. Cómo es entonces posible no hacerle caso a Marx, quien profetizó y analizó tal devastación. La respuesta sería que la gente, mucha gente, ha perdido sus coordenadas políticas. Sin mapa alguno, no saben a dónde se dirigen”. Así escribe John Berger en …
One Triangle, Two Campaigns
Dispossession, contempt, and exploitation are the triangle upon which the domination of labor by capital has always been based in Mexico. During the twentieth century, peasant armies fought a successful revolution against two of the triangle's legs, forcing the powerful, through the Constitution of 1917, to return them land and show them respect. Under the presidency of Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994), however, there was a counterreform, di…
The Emerging “Threat” of Radical Populism

The Revolution must be good for everyone. It is like the Old Condor of the high mountains with his white crest, who must protect all of us with his powerful wings. — Francisco Chipana Ramos, 1945 (

Globalización, Violencia, Revoluciones. Nueve Tesis
En el artículo se plantea el tema -para muchos analistas olvidado o ya definitivamente superado- de la revolución en el contexto de la globalización. Se argumenta que la globalización capitalista, lejos de eliminar las contradicciones que dieron origen a la revolución como parte de la modernidad capitalista, ha preparado un nuevo terreno para el estallido de movimientos sociales radicales. En la globalización se está conformando una nueva relació…

El ejército indígena y el Estado mexicano
Su propósito, enunciado desde el título, es reflexionar sobre la peculiar relación entre una rebelión indígena armada que, aun sin combatir, perdura hasta el presente en su territorio y en sus ideas, y la forma específica de Estado mexicano cuyo momento jurídico fundante sigue siendo, pese a incontables modificaciones, la sanción de la Constitución de 1917

The Chiapas Rebellion
“The Zapatista rebellion can be seen as the last in a long cycle of popular demands for dignity, voice and autonomy” (p. 37). Esta primera y sobria conclusión del libro de Neil Harvey es una buena bienvenida y necesaria desmitificación de dicho movimiento, descripto por algunos como una “gran impostura” del subcomandante Marcos y por otros como el producto de una “conspiración” iniciada por un grupo de guerrilleros urbanos de los años setenta.Har…

Nuestra modernidad, entre la Iglesia y los ejércitos
Los regímenes militares establecidos en las repúblicas latinoamericanas durante los años 70 y 80 demandan ser explicados a través de una interrogación histórico-cultural que trascienda las determinaciones económicas y sociales coyunturales. El artículo busca las raíces de estos regímenes en factores endógenos a cada sociedad nacional, en la frustración histórica de las revoluciones liberales, en la influencia persistente de las oligarquías agrari…

The Mexican Revolution
First published in Spanish in 1971, The Mexican Revolution has been praised by Mexico's Nobel Prize-winning author Octavio Paz as a notable contribution to history and is widely recognized as a seminal account of the Mexican Revolution. Written during the author's time as a political prisoner in the famous penitentiary of Lecumberri in Mexico, it sold thousands of copies in its first edition, becoming widely accepted as the official textbook by h…

A Conference Without Glory and Without Program
Those present at the final session of the Tricontinental Conference of Havana were witnesses to an extraordinary spectacle: Fidel Castro furiously attacking a guerrilla movement that is struggling, arms in hand, in the mountains and streets of Guatemala, for the socialist revolution. The attack was made at the end of the Conference, when there was no possibility for discussion or rebuttal, and took by surprise those delegates not belonging to the…
Vietnam
"Our people never leave a field without a fight.... Do not ask us to flee like frightened deer without staging a battle. I shall never ask my people to do such a thing. Not until the jungles die and the mountains crumble and the heavens fallon us. Never! Never! Never!" That is how the war in Vietnam started, when old Pho Muc Gia, chief of the small Kor tribe, consisting of not more than 4,700 members, refused to follow the "line" which demanded r…
A Guerrilla Wind
"Throughout Latin America a guerrilla wind is blowing," says one of the latest editorials in Vision, and it concludes with melancholy: "For the world's timid, bourgeois capital, which has been invited to work in Latin America, each guerrilla that appears is a demonstration that this part of the world is accustomed to a dangerous way of life."This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in …

The Guerrilla Movement in Guatemala, Part II
Ever since Cuba and Guatemala were colonized, their land has been measured in caballerias, one cabelleria being the minimum land grant made to a Spanish gentleman. Perhaps the "gentlemen" were greedier in Guatemala or the land less productive; at any rate, the Cuban caballeria measures slightly over 13 hectares [about 32 acres], whereas in Guatemala it is the rough equivalent of 54 hectares [130 acres]. The United Fruit Company (together with its…
The Guerrilla Movement in Guatemala, Part I
As dusk fell, the guerrilla patrol halted its march across the mountain. We removed our shoulder packs and put up hammocks. We opened some cans of food, while tortillas were heated over the open fire. A companero tuned in Radio Havana. It was 6 p.m, Maybe there was still daylight beyond the thickly wooded mountain slope where we had pitched our camp, but all we could see were each other's faces in the glow of the fire. After the newscast, as on e…

Inside the Cuban Revolution
This is a work of reportage. It does not try to be more than a quick, journalistic glance at the internal situation in Cuba and at the most important forces at work in the Revolution. My observations and conclusions are based on more than a year of living with the Cuban people during 1962 and 1963, the crucial period of the Cuban Revolution, and on reading the principal works and documents which appeared at that time. I deal only with some of the…

The Chilean Election
"It was much more difficult to take power in Russia in 1917 than it would have been in Chile in 1964. Lenin had to face a domestic and international situation that was far less favorable than the one FRAP (Frente de Accion Popular) had to cope with. But, had he wanted to take power by means of elections organized by the February Provisional Government; had he won the support of certain army officers in order to assuage the fears of the bourgeoisi…

Guerrillas and "Peasant Republics" in Colombia
The kidnapping of Oliverio Lara at the end of April is an index of the profound weakness of the Colombian bourgeoisie and oligarchy. Six armed men snatched him from his "hacienda Larandia" and demanded one million pesos ($66, 670) in ransom.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
