I Embody a Daily Revolution”: Mexico's Gay and Lesbian Left and Central American Revolutionary Solidarity, 1978–1985
This article explores the important and never-before-examined intersections between the activism of members of Mexico City's gay and lesbian Left from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s and their participation in the vibrant movement of solidarity with Central American revolutions in Mexico in those same years. As gay men and lesbians faced police harassment, blackmail, raids, and other forms of state violence, and as labor organizers, human rights …
‘For the government to become good’: The political vision and national significance of Felipe Carrillo Puerto

Mexico's Relations with Latin America during the Cárdenas Era - by Kiddle, Amelia M
A Crooked Path to the Franchise: The Historical Legacies of Mexico's Failed 1937 Women's Suffrage Amendment
Trials by Fire
Across Mexico in the early 1920s, gubernatorial elections chronically failed, and the steps that the federal government took to resolve these crises often provoked further political upheaval. This pattern of electoral failure and the controversies it inspired are testimony to the prevailing uncertainty within the political class as to where the boundaries of power truly lay in post-revolutionary Mexico. This comparison of two failed gubernatorial…
