Under a False Flag

The Long 1968
Delving into a tumultuous year’s impact on art, culture, and politics, this book “illuminates the often-overlooked histories of 1968” (The Journal of American History). From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, revolutions in theory, politics, and cultural experimentation swept around the world. These changes had as great a transformative impact on the right as on the left. A touchstone for activists, artists, and theorists of all stripes, the year 1968 has taken on new significance for the present moment, which bears certain uncanny resemblances to that time. The Long 1968 explores the wide-ranging impact of the year and its aftermath in politics, theory, the arts, and international relations—and its uses today.

Liberals, the Church, and Indian Peasants
The control and use of land were fundamental issues throughout Spanish America in the nineteenth century. The seven original essays in this volume are the first comprehensive treatment of how governments and local officials, following the tenets of economic liberalism, forced changes in land ownership after Independence and what resulted from their reforms.Leaders in newly independent countries in Mesoamerica and the Andean region attacked as inherently unproductive the large land holdings of the Church, charitable institutions such as orphanages, and Indian communities. Liberals believed that breaking up communal land holdings and selling these to individuals spurred economic development and modernization. Each chapter addresses how transfer of ownership occurred and what economic effects followed. The social and political changes associated with land tenure reforms are also carefully considered.
