Cultural Writing. Latin American Studies. Translated from the Spanish and edited by Chaz Bufe and Michell Cowen Verter. Along with Emiliano Zapata, Ricardo Flores Magon (b.1874) is regarded as one of the most important figures of the Mexican Revolution. Through his newspaper Regeneracion, he boldly criticized the injustices of the country's military dictatorship and worked to build the popular movement that eventually overthrew it. Exiled to the United States, Flores Magon continued to agitate for revolution in Mexico. Transcending nationalism, he also dreamed of a world free from all forms of injustice. Both the US and Mexican governments responded with harsh repression. Levenworth Penitentiary ultimately murdered him in 1922. This volume collects the first English translations of Flores Magon's most important writings. A lengthy historical overview, chronology, maps, images and bibliography provide context for his work.
