Rodríguez (Bard College) closely examines the relatively unknown and unexamined histories of specific parts of the labor and agrarian movements that began to align with one another in Mexico, demonstrating a clear understanding of the influences and limits of the Mexican Revolution in people's movements
Rodríguez closely examines the relatively unknown and unexamined histories of specific parts of the labor and agrarian movements that began to align with one another in Mexico, demonstrating a clear understanding of the influences and limits of the Mexican Revolution in people's movements. He argues that the possibilities of strategic organizations and the parts of the agrarian and labor movements that forged alliances failed to unite in a common struggle because of state intervention and subsequent co-option....Rodríguez makes an important distinction between 'people's movements' and 'popular movements,' emphasizing that 'people's movements' represent people, making them much more than just popular. This distinction, Rodríguez further opines, is also meant to facilitate global and international comparisons relevant to revolutions and post-revolutionary processes and situations throughout the 20th-century world.
A must-read for anyone trying to understand why the Mexican Revolution did not lead to the revolutionary Mexico portrayed in Rivera's and Siqueiros's murals and became instead a capitalist country ruled by a single party. This book masterfully explains how the possibility of a socialist Mexico vanished by the end of the 1920s as labor and agrarian movements, briefly allied under Communist leadership, failed to remain united and independent from an increasingly strong state.
A provocative analysis of popular movements in 1920s Mexico. Rodríguez traces the important yet ultimately unsuccessful efforts to unite labor and agrarian movements in an anti-capitalist front under Communist leadership and thus challenges prevailing narratives about the Mexican Revolution.
Miles Rodríguez illuminates the complexities of post-revolutionary Mexico and the fragmentation of agrarian and industrial unions and movements. Forced to choose between the Mexican Community Party or the Mexican state, some of the strongest independent labor unions and agrarian organizations ultimately had their power reduced by state leaders, and despite a brief resurgence in the 1930s, many remained under state control for decades. Movements after Revolution is an important part of the story about why it took the Mexican left so long to consolidate a national electoral victory after the Mexican Revolution.
Movements after Revolution uncovers new research about a forgotten chapter of the Mexican Revolution—how authentic labor and agrarian groups struggled in the decade after 1920 to unite under Communist leadership and pose an alternative path to the state-dominated Mexican Revolution. Rodriguez's passion for the topic is evident and brings this important story to light, emphasizing that, despite the difficulties faced by these movements in the face of emerging state power, their influence would be felt in the evolution of the revolution's official labor and agrarian organizations. This study is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of revolution in twentieth-century Latin America.
