La Guerra Fría latinoamericana y sus historiografías
Vanni Pettinà, profesor de historia en la Universidad Ca’ Foscari, en Venecia, ha puesto gran empeño en trazar nuevas sendas para estudiar la Guerra Fría en América Latina. Después de libros propios, editados y numerosos artículos, ahora entrega un volumen en el que lo acompañan siete autores. Cada uno de ellos arroja luz sobre un tema: historia política, económica e intelectual, religión, género y la dimensión transnacional de la Guerra Fría.Pet…

Enrique M. Buelna. Chicano Communists and the Struggle for Social Justice
One of Enrique Buelna’s motivations to research and write Chicano Communists and the Struggle for Social Justice was to make visible the history of Mexican Americans in the United States. But have Mexican Americans been invisible as the author claims? After all, academic associations, book and journal publishers, college and university history departments have recognized the important role Latinos have played in American history for decades. Mexi…
Eileen Ford. Childhood and Modernity in Cold War Mexico City
The trajectories and conundrums of Mexico’s modernization after the 1910–1920 revolution have become the subject of countless studies. Whether such studies follow the presidential terms or select a topic and trace its process from small to big or from foreign to national and transnational (and in recent decades back to foreign ownership or management of the Mexican economy), development has become the centerpiece of scholarly and policymaking stu…
Sobre Jacob A. Zumoff, The Communist International and US Communism, 1919-1929
Bolsheviks' encounter with the Mexican revolution
The encounter of Bolshevik leaders and militants with Mexico during the 1920s was determined by the vagaries and evolvement of both revolutions. What appeared initially as a possible reinforcement of the revolutionary potential of both in a world engulfed in interstate conflicts and imperial domination, turned by necessity and ideology into the national and nationalist preservation of sovereignty, subordinating that revolutionary potential to the…

El viaje de Vicente Lombardo Toledano al mundo del porvenir
El artículo sigue el itinerario del viaje de Vicente Lombardo Toledano a la Unión Soviética y coloca la exposición del viajero mexicano en una perspectiva más amplia. Examina el entusiasmo y el temor que las conferencias de Lombardo Toledano despertaron a su regreso, en el otoño de 1935, dadas las peculiares circunstancias de México y del mundo, cuando la élite política y la población estaban divididas entre defensores y adversarios del cardenism…
Las vicisitudes de La Internacional Comunista

Después de múltiples cambios de objetivos y formas de organización Josef Visarionovich Stalin la disolvió durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En la lucha por preservar la seguridad de la URSS el dirigente ruso necesitaba demostrar a sus aliados en el combate tot…
Eric Hobsbawn, marxista perseverante
Eric Hobsbawm murió el 1 de octubre de 2012. Hobsbawm llegó a la conclusión que los problemas del siglo XX no solo no se resolvieron sino que se potenciaron debido a la catástrofe ambiental del planeta. Un año antes de morir, a sus 94 años de edad, el historiador inglés publicó un libro de ensayos en el que quería decir a aquellos lectores que reflexionaban "sobre su futuro y el de la humanidad en el siglo veintiuno" que en el contexto histórico …
Latin America's Cold War
Hal Brands’s goal in reconstructing the history of Latin America’s Cold War seeks to deal with the subject through a multinational and multilayered approach. By this the author means integrating perspectives from diverse realms and views, from the highest echelons of superpower diplomacy down to the everyday negotiation of social and political relationships, in order to understand how global, regional, and local influences interacted in shaping L…
Pistoleros and Popular Movements: The Politics of State Formation in Postrevolutionary Oaxaca
Reading Smith’s intricate history of Oaxaca from the 1930s to the early 1950s, one inevitably makes the connection to the apparently extraordinary state of current affairs in that southern Mexican state. However, then as now, the contradictory, fragmented, and geographically rugged state, characterized furthermore by complex multiethnic and local relations, is an integral part of the nation.Smith proposes to move away from overarching models of s…

In from the Cold: Latin America’s New Encounter with the Cold War
Over the last decade, studies of the Cold War have mushroomed globally. Unfortunately, work on Latin America has not been well represented in either theoretical or empirical discussions of the broader conflict. With some notable exceptions, studies have proceeded in rather conventional channels, focusing on U.S. policy objectives and high-profile leaders (Fidel Castro) and events (the Cuban Missile Crisis) and drawing largely on U.S. government s…
Radical Mexico: Limits to the Impact of Soviet Communism
The encounter of the Mexican and Bolshevik Revolutions on Mexican soil took place when the Mexican Revolution was still considered a viable project, however unrealized. The Bolshevik emissaries to Mexico, who arrived in 1919 and again in 1921, misunderstood Mexico on two counts. They disregarded the prerevolutionary radicalism that had developed in the workplace under the influence of the Industrial Workers of the World, and they dismissed the re…

Introduction As early as 1921 the Comintern sent three activists to Mexico to embark on the sovietisation of Latin America: the Italian-American Louis Fraina, the American Charles Francis Phillips and the Japanese labour veteran Sen Katayama. They didn't stay for long. Phillips was deported by the Mexican government in May, but returned to Mexico clandestinely as Manuel Gómez, Katayama left Mexico in October, and Fraina in January of 1922. Even t…

En este artículo, la autora analiza con detalle lo que ha sido la expansión de la OTAN hacia el este de Europa después del fin de la Guerra Fría. Este análisis se hace a la luz de cuatro tipos de consideraciones: a) los intereses de la política norteamericana; b) la posición rusa; c) la posición de los países que han solicitado su ingreso a la OTAN y d) la postura de los países excluidos de esta organización. La autora concluye destacando los int…
In the Shadow of the Giant: The Making of Mexico's Central American Policy, 1876-1930
The complex nature of Mexican diplomacy calls for a analysis of the process of foreign policy formulation. This book analyses Mexico's initiatives in Central America during the Porfirian and Revolutionary periods and pays particular attention to Mexico's persistent challenge to US influence in Central America. As both instrument and object of political discourse, foreign policy helps a country's governing elite negotiate its share of power. On th…
Linking State and Society in Discourse and Action: Political and Cultural Studies of the Cárdenas Era in Mexico
On 6 July 1997, Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, founder and leader of the Mexican Partido de la Revolucion Democraitica (PRD), scored an impressive victory in being elected mayor of Mexico City. Cardenas's new status as leader of the world's largest city, along with the PRD's substantial gains in parliamentary elections, has raised important questions about the sources of their combined political strength. To what is owed the victory of Cuauhtemoc Cardenas …
